"Alright, dear viewers, with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks defeating the home team, Chiba Lotte Marines, 4-1 at Chiba Marine Stadium, the first series of the Golden Week's intense nine-game battle, and also the April 2013 professional baseball schedule, has come to a temporary end!"
"The SoftBank Team, which had a rough start to the season, performed reasonably well in April. They currently have a record of 13 wins and 14 losses, just one game under .500, allowing them to climb back to third place in the Pacific League standings. They are only half a game behind the current leaders, the Saitama Seibu Lions—incidentally, their opponents at the Yahoo Dome tomorrow are none other than the Seibu Team!"
"This promises to be an exceptionally exciting series. One could say the SoftBank fans at the Fukuoka home field are quite fortunate to witness such a critical showdown during the holiday!"
