The tenth batter, kojima, is on his way to the dugout. He's had three hits today, and he's got a good chance of making it to third on a hit by batter nagata, but he'll have to wait and see if he can make it with the other batter. The sixth batter, asoh, catches the first pitch of the next pitch and throws it out of the way for an easy double play. The seventh batter, sawaramura, is at it again. He praises the pitching of the first two batters, and says that he'd never give his life to throw for twenty-five or thirty-five innings. The next batter, kawakami, is warming up for the start of the game, and the sixth batter claps at him for his performance. Aww, thanks.
