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.

Aunque solo importa porque hemos ganado.
Enfin, on peut dire ça
parce qu’on a gagné.
Certo, sarebbe stato tutto inutile,
se avessimo perso.
Se bem que de nada 
adiantaria se perdêssemos.
