Okay, folks, the break is over! I have picked LB back up and played about an hour today on my lunch break.
Normally, there wouldn't be anything to report after such a short time, except I had stopped right before the baseball game. After losing 13 - 2 in my first game, I did... well, A LOT better this time around! I admit, though, that i used the lineup and positions suggested by the walkthrough. 13 - 2 just demoralized me way too much.
So, basically... going into the final inning, I was actually winning 5 - 3! Rin even hit an inside-the-park home run to get us there! I was so proud of her. Then the Captains Team decided to score two runs without my getting a single out. So it was all tied up. At this point I was like "Well, I'm screwed." And then, who would go all Hero Mode on me but... KOMARI KAMIKITA!? The very next batter hit a pop-fly that Komari caught in the air for an out. I was like "Wow, that's surprising." But that wasn't all. A couple batters later, still tied at 5 - 5, Komari not only pulled ANOTHER fly ball out of the air, but made the throw to 2nd for the double-play! I was like "YES I LOVE YOU KOMARI!"
So... all I needed was ONE run! One run and we're all celebrating a huge upset victory! I was getting goosebumps. This was my moment of triumph.
Instead, after getting Kurugaya on base, I just got a bunch of outs and the game ended in a draw.
A draw. 5 - 5.

And what made it worse, was that, afterwards, all the characters kept talking about how they lost. I was like "We didn't lose, it was a draw, DANG IT!!"
I can't believe they didn't write any script for a draw.
*sigh*
Also, I was able to end the Battle Rankings with Riki at the top! Sweeet! But I don't think anything happened. Not sweet. I guess you need to get to the top before a certain date in order to unlock
