"I'm feeling exhausted right now," Tigala said in the interview, "and I could have hit the ball into the desert five times, which is certainly exhausting." Despite the ups and downs, Tigara maintained a fiery batting position, and his total scores (11.714) remained at the top of the game.

I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by fans. ”
