I was shocked by the emergency situation right at the start of the game.

The Giants' starting pitcher, Nishidate, hit a batter in the first inning and was ejected for a dangerous pitch. It was an unforeseen situation for everyone, but Tawa was the one who rushed to the mound. Despite having limited time to prepare, the episode details how he managed to overcome the crisis with calm pitching.

The tenacity of the relief corps brought us the victory.

Furthermore, the persistence of the middle relievers, such as Funasako and Tanaka Toyoki, who protected the narrow lead, is discussed.

The batting lineup also showed their ability to perform in clutch situations.
