"Brian Falkenborg! Pitching!"
"This pitch is good! No problem! Close the game successfully!"
"Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, a victory in the new season opener!"
"Lin Guanglai, a high school graduate starting pitcher, secures his first career victory! Truly amazing!"
The opening game between SoftBank and Rakuten has concluded, with a final score of 7 to 1—SoftBank Team, playing at their home in the Yahoo Dome, has kicked off the 2013 season with an opening victory.
In the stadium, the Rakuten Golden Eagles players who lost today's game quickly packed up their belongings and left the field through the player tunnel, returning to their base in Fukuoka—judging by the dark expression on Manager Hoshino Senichi's face seen in the footage, it seems the days ahead for the Rakuten players won't be easy.
