为对药师做战前准备，投手们激励促使片冈教练向泽村、降谷、川上三人传达了续投指示，丹波则是暗示随时上场。从那里感受到了全队的战斗意志。然后终于到了四分之一决赛。药师的打球顺序是？

The episode begins with Chris coaching the team on Yakusi's batting power and their true ace, Sanada, who comes out of the bullpen and throws a shootball. Seeing their methods, Katoka decides to take action. Kataoka calls Sawamura, Furuya, and Kawakami into his office and tells them that Tanba isn't ready to pitch in the next game. Instead he decides they will go with Furuya for innings 1-3, Sawamura for 4-6, and Kawakami for 7-9. After he leaves them he approaches Tanba and tells him to start getting ready in the bullpen in inning 5 and that he will likely play in the game. As game day arrives the entire Seido team stares down Yakusi, mostly focusing their stares on Raichi Todoroki. When the lineups are revealed though, coach Raizou Todoroki has made some adjustments. Raichi has been moved and is now the first batter.

Als Vorbereitung für das Yakushi Spiel spricht Trainer Kataoka mit den Pitchern. Er teilt Sawamura, Furuya und Kawakami mit, dass Tanba nicht spielen wird, während er Tanba sagt, dass dieser sich bereithalten soll. Und so beginnt das Viertelfinale …

세이도의 8강 상대는 이치다이를 꺾으며 태풍의 핵으로 부상한 야쿠시로 결정된다. 강타선과 적극적인 주루, 그리고 숨은 에이스와 변칙적인 전략까지. 카타오카 감독은 후루야 사와무라 카와카미 에게 3이닝씩 맡기기로 결정하고 탄바에게도 준비를 지시한다.

Conoceremos un poco más sobre el próximo rival de Seidou, la Preparatoria Yakushi. En particular conoceremos el pasado de su entrenador y de su hijo.
