The Fighters may be down 6-2 in the top of the ninth, but these kids never stop cheering.

Li, a friend of mine from college, who put up with me for this game and the Eagles one.

Semi-indoor semi-fireworks explode in the outfield as the Lions win the game.

Yeah, that's me. I'm holding the dolphin I was given, which I scribbled "ganbatte Fighters" on.

Toru Hosokawa was the game hero for hitting a grand slam off Satoru Kanemura.

Shinjo fans have a bunch of glittery signs for him.

The scoreboard in the Seibu Kyujo-mae train station, with the game details.

The "GO GO LIONS!" sign that I hadn't noticed when coming through the first time.
