Mukai scatters his pitches offensively, but Tojo puts up a good fight and gets on base. Kuramochi follows after, and the Teito battery walks Haruichi to load the bases. It's two outs and bases loaded at the bottom of the eighth. Immense pressure is on Maezono.
Despite the rain,
Trotz des Regens
A pesar de la lluvia,
A pesar de la lluvia,
La pluie leur a joué des tours,
Nonostante questa pioggia,
Apesar da chuva,
