SAPPORO DOME, SAPPORO - The Rakuten Eagles surprising season came to an unfortunate close Saturday evening, as they fell to the Nippon Ham Fighters 9-4 in the fifth game of the Climax Series, 2nd Stage. The loss also closes the book on manager Katsuya Nomura, who was not offered the skipper's job for the 2010 season, but may return to the team in some honourary capacity.
Eagles vs Fighters CS Game 2 Postgame: Paradise Lost
SAPPORO DOME, SAPPORO - Two outs. They can come in a blink of an eye, with a second baseman turning a 6-4-3 double play. 2 outs. They can take forever, as pitch after pitch gets batted around the ball park like a pinball. ２ アウト。 Sometimes, they never come at all.
