Seido stays to watch Ichidai's game to prepare for the upcoming quarterfinal. Ichidai's opponent is Yakushi, a nameless school.

was because Akikawa 
batters swung carelessly.
weil die Akikawa Batter ohne Rücksicht
 nach den Würfen geschwungen haben.
c’est parce qu’ils se sont précipités.
porque os rebatedores do 
Akikawa foram imprudentes.
