The first pitch of the second game is a perfect one, and it's clear that the game is still up in the balance. Akikawa has been prepping for the start of the game, but he's still able to make a great pitch. He's not intimidated by the batter, and he and his men are confident that they can win the game. They've got two outs and a runner on second base, and they're still not giving up. They need to keep their voices up, they say, so they'll finish the game with a pitch to the outside. They don't want to give up yet, but they need to make sure that the batter gets a strike. They have to send the batter home, strike three, and then strike out the next batter. The game is over, and the men are ready to celebrate. They all clap together, and one of the men says that he'd like to see them play against each other again in the next year. The men say that they know how to beat each other, and that's why they fought so hard. They say that the next time they play, it'll be even better than this one, because they've learned how to handle each other's weaknesses. They also say that this is not the end of the world, because there's always spring, fall, and fall again. They promise to watch the next game again.
