Magic 1 Finally!

Yesterday's final showdown against the Yomiuri Giants ended in a grueling 12-inning tie at 2-2… This brought our magic number down from 3 to 2. It was a tough game, lasting over 5 hours… Huge thanks to the fans who stayed until the end and cheered, and especially to the players for their hard work… Watching on TV was intense for me too! 💦 And today, Hanshin has a day off, while the Giants play the Swallows… And since the Swallows beat the Giants!! Hanshin's magic number is 1! 🎉 Tomorrow we play Hiroshima in a day game! If we win, we're champions! Manager Kuji will be tossed in the air at Mazda Stadium, the opponent's home ground… After going from Magic 14 to an unexpected 7-game losing streak! There were times when the Giants took back the lead, but we managed to get to Magic 1!! My stomach hurts! I'm too nervous to sleep! I hope Hanshin can achieve their first 'all-home-game victory' tomorrow… I'm going to sleep praying 💤 Sorry for the long post! 💦 Thanks to everyone who always listened to my Hanshin rants..
