"The invincible Giant Army has fallen!"
In the home team's broadcasting room at Tokyo Dome, watching the Hanshin Tigers players celebrating wildly in the center of the field, the Yomiuri Giants commentators announced the result of the game in a heavy voice.
"No one expected that our highly anticipated Yomiuri Giants would suffer the humiliation of four consecutive losses, falling just one step away from the Japan Series."
"Although we had mentally prepared for possibly missing the Japan Series due to the injuries of aces Sugano Tomoyuki and Otake Hiroshi before this series started, losing to our arch-rivals in such a shameful way is absolutely unacceptable!"
