"Has this game already set a new historic record?"
In the Sapporo Dome's studio, even though the time has passed midnight and entered the next day, the commentator responsible for explaining the match feels no fatigue at all due to the constant secretion of adrenaline, and he continues to dutifully broadcast the live events to whoever is still watching on TV.
Initially, people thought this was just an ordinary formal match—facing SoftBank's starting lineup, the Ham Team, playing with full force, should have won effortlessly. This would allow the home team to achieve victory and the visiting team to reach their rest goal, seemingly perfect.
Who would have thought that since the sixth inning, when both teams launched a wave of attacks, the game gradually deviated from the professional's pre-game predictions, and both teams and players played with evident intensity, treating the match like a decisive battle in a championship.
