Still later in the game, Daisy is seen throwing the ball to Peach, who then throws to Yoshi as Waluigi slides towards the base—only to discover Yoshi already has the ball, causing him to fall short as Lakitu calls him out. During Donkey Kong's at-bat, he hits the ball, and Luigi runs after it as it makes a beeline for the bleachers; he manages to jump off the top of the wall and catch it for a second out. Wario is the next batter up, and points his bat at Mario. Mario winds up and throws a fastball that catches fire and passes Wario before he can swing, striking him out; its speed overloads a radar gun in the process. With all three outs, the teams change sides.

With two outs and the game on the line, Mario is up to bat; as he faces down Wario, he points his bat at the stands in an homage to {{wp|Babe Ruth's called shot}}. Wario then lets loose a pitch that Mario manages to hit as everyone watches in awe—the ball sails directly into the stands where Mario pointed, scoring a home run for him and his team (despite the fact that Mario's team was already up by one run and therefore the game should have ended before his turn to bat). Peach, Luigi and the others celebrate their victory with Mario as he reaches home base; as they do, Bowser is shown in the audience, chuckling to himself.
With two outs at the bottom of the ninth and the score tied 3-3 with Luigi on first base, Mario is up to bat; as he faces down Wario, he points his bat at the stands in an homage to {{wp|Babe Ruth's called shot}}. Wario then lets loose a pitch that Mario manages to hit as everyone watches in awe—the ball sails directly into the stands where Mario pointed, scoring the game's winning home run for him and his team. Peach, Luigi and the others celebrate their victory with Mario as he reaches home base; as they do, Bowser is shown in the audience, chuckling to himself.
