“At the plate, we struggled against their ace, but we capitalized on one opportunity late in the game.

After that, we were able to score more runs with back-to-back hits to win the game.”

“I would like to praise all the players for not giving up under any circumstances and doing their best until the end. I would also like to thank the fans for their support. We will do our best until the final game tomorrow.”
