While Yayoi, emergency reliever taking over for Chisato, is able to subdue the Oobi batters, Fuurin's counter-offense is also shut down.
The game goes into the final inning with Oobi Middle leading with three runs.
In the all or nothing top of the 7th inning, Fuurin has a real chance with two outs, but first and third loaded!
Top batter Chisato toughs it out until four balls, turning up the pressure on Oobi with two outs and fully loaded bases.
Then, it's Tao's turn, who had been shut down too easily in the previous inning.
A hair away from losing, Mutsuko
forced the other team into an error.
وقبل خسارتنا بقليل، أرغمت موتسكو

Als Obi nur noch ein Out fehlte,
Estando al borde de perder el partido,
Estando al borde de perder el partido,
Alors que le match touchait à sa fin,
Mutsuko a poussé l’adversaire à bout.
Nonostante stessimo per perdere, Mutsuko
è riuscita a far commettere un errore agli avversari.
Estávamos prestes a perder, mas a
Mutsuko induz o adversário a um erro.
Когда мы думали, что уже
на грани поражения,
