Senbatsu High School Baseball will have two semi-final games on the 30th. The second game will be against Chuo Gakuin in Chiba, who will be in the top four for the first time.
Hotoku Gakuen will be competing for the second time since last year, when they were runners-up. If they advance to the finals, they will be the first Chiba Prefecture team to do so in five years, since Narashino High School in 2019.
