Best 8 26 Muroto Koukou (Kochi) 3 - 5 Kumamoto Kougyou (Kumamoto) Muroto tries to rally in the 9th, but P Morisawa-kun's struggles in the 3rd were too much to overcome.

April 2 Best 4 29 Tokoha Gakuen Kikugawa Koukou (Shizuoka) 6 - 4 Kumamoto Kougyou (Kumamoto) Tokoha proves that beating Osaka Touin was no fluke as they rally in the 9th, with the possible help of a untimely pitching change to beat a strong Kumamoto team.
Best 4 30 Teikyou Koukou (Tokyo) 4 - 5 Oogaki Nihon Daigaku Koukou (Gifu) Oogaki Nihon turns the tables on Teikyou surviving the initial barrage and taking advantage of the uncertain pitching situation that developed during the tournament.
