Haruichi comes onto the field as a pinch hitter for Tanba. Maki pitches emotionally against Haruichi. After two strikes, Haruichi gently meets Maki's curveball and hits it to the outfield. At the bottom of the sixth, Sawamura walks on.
Life has its ups and downs, 
and so does this game.
Das Leben hat seine Höhen und Tiefen,
 genau wie dieses Spiel.
La vida tiene sus altibajos 
igual que este juego.
La vida tiene sus altibajos, 
igual que este partido.
Après la pluie vient le beau temps,
c’est bien vrai.
A vida tem seus altos e 
baixos, e este jogo também.
