Recap of the previous episode

The first part happens, as per usual in the series, at the MotorSuns baseball stadium, this time focusing on the youngest beer vendor on the staff, Sara. She doesn't have that many regular customers and wants to build a reputation, although she is greeted by her parents, who, as it turns out, have brought the entirety of her extended family as well.

When it comes to the second storyline of the episode, Ruriko, Sara, and the rest of the vendors realize that they have to clean the dressing room and end up checking a lot of stuff that has been stored there for years. This includes old baseball magazines, which show veteran players of the MotorSuns when they were starting, and even a photo of Nakaizumi, the senior vendor, which is a nice bonding moment between them.

The final storyline focuses on this season's All-Star Game, which is happening at the MotorSuns' stadium. Ruriko is seen as having an awkward feeling because this game has a lot of new customers with unpleasant attitudes. The entire institution is being laughed at until the teams' mascots plan a wrestling-style performance to entertain people, which results in Sun-Shiro getting the upper hand to make the protagonist happier.

The Catcher in the Ballpark episode 7 is going to continue with this romantic comedy, and the ending credits of the latest installment had a preview confirming that it is going to have three storylines once again. Ruriko is naturally going to continue in her role as the protagonist, and fans can expect new characters to take the spotlight at the MotorSuns stadium.
