In the middle of a rainstorm, a batter swings at a first-pitch pitch, but the third baseman catches it and hits a pop fly. The batter's decision to let the pitch drift past him and focus on one thing is the downfall of the batter. The third baseman, Masono, makes a diving catch to end the inning. The next batter, Furuya, is on base, but he is unable to follow Masono's leadoff hit. The rain stops the game, and the next batter hits a sacrifice fly, but it is caught in the mud by the third baseman. The game is still called for rain, and Masono hopes that the game will not end in the rain.
