{{ja-en
|すぽーつ　ですく　です
|This is the sports desk.}}

{{ja-en
|{{gloss|今日|きょう today}}の　{{gloss|しあい|試合 game; match}}　{{gloss|けっか|結果 results}}　です。
|Here are the results of today's game.}}

If you lost:
{{ja-en
|[name]チーム　{{gloss|はいたい|敗退 loss}}　です
|The [name] team lost.}}

If you won:
{{ja-en
|[name]チーム　{{gloss|かちぬき|勝ち抜き victory}}　です
|The [name] team won.}}

If you won a championship match:
{{ja-en
|[name]チーム　の　{{gloss|ゆうしょう|優勝 championship}}です
|The [name] team won the championship.}}

Regardless of the match outcome:
{{ja-en
|いやあ　{{gloss|すごい|amazing; terrific}}　{{gloss|だせん|打線 baseball lineup}}ですね
|Wow, what a terrific lineup!}}

If the team won by shutout (opposing team never scored), this is said instead of the above line:
{{ja-en
|いやー{{gloss|みごと|見事 splendid}}に　{{gloss|おさえました|pinned down; held back; restrained}}ね。
