A CLEAN SWEEP

Hello.

I'm the manager of Bugil Academy,
Lee Sang-kun.

Have you seen the show?

I watched it once on TV.

-I saw Seo Dong-wook hit a home run.
-Yes.

-I saw Park Yong-taek hit a two-base hit.
-Yes.

Song Seung-jun's forkball fell this much.

Shim Soo-chang and Yoo Hee-kwan as well.

They throw slow curve ba*ls.
They throw fastballs too.

It sounds like you watched it three times.

I watched carefully.

YOU GOT ME

Is Cheonan's Bugil Academy a strong team?

I think so.

Our defense is solid.

Our pitchers aren't bad.
We won't lose a lot of points.

Are you stronger than Duksoo or Choongam?

I don't think any one team
is better than the others.

I believe we're similar.

HUMBLE

-What about the chance of winning?
-Five to five.

We'll play the game
like it's an official match.

-That's how we'll prepare for it.
-Yes.

Will all your ace players play?

We have to win.

OF COURSE

-We obviously have to win.
-Yes.

-Competition is competition.
-Of course.

-We'll practice hard and play a good game.
-Yes.

INCHEON
LNG BASEBALL STADIUM

Isn't this where Keun-woo
hit consecutive home runs?

It is.

Can't you hit a home run?

After I retired, hitting a home run
was the easiest thing to do.

When will I hit a home run?

JUNG EUI-YOON, 0 HOME RUNS

CHOI SOO-HYUN, 0 HITS

-Soo-hyun, let's cheer up.
-Yes.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

It's awkward to have Jun-h* here.

-It's been two months.
-That's right.

CATCHER JUN-h* IS BACK!

Hello.

-Won-sam looks good.
-Why is he so happy?

He seems to be in a good mood.

I should start happy.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME TO LAUGH

Everyone but Soo-chang looks good.

-Is he the starting pitcher?
-Yes.

He's already in a crisis.

The second pitcher feels more pressure
than the starting pitcher.

Are you going second, Won-sam?

Then the third pitcher will feel
even more pressure.

(CANDIDATES 3, 2, 1)

Won-sam, stop him.

You're the left-handed pitcher
with 121 wins.

I'm waiting until summer is over.

Are you sh**ting Autumn in My Heart?
Why wait for fall?

I should stay until fall.

JANG WON-BIN(?)

Hyun-in, did you tell your mom

-that you won the MVP?
-Yes. She was there.

-Was she?
-Yes.

3RD ROUND WITH CHOONGAM

HE PLAYED DEFENSE
AND OFFENSE PERFECTLY

HE HAD 4 HITS IN 4 AT-BATS
3 RBIS 6 GOOD DEFENSES

HE RECEIVED A LOT OF LOVE
FROM HIS TEAMMATES

HYUN-IN'S MOTHER WAS AT THE GAME

EVERYONE, THAT'S MY SON!

She would've loved it
more than seeing you in college baseball.

-Yes.
-Right?

SHY

Hyun-in is like
the college league's Lindor.

-Really?
-Really.

HE PLAYS LIKE LINDOR
IN THE COLLEGE LEAGUE!

-He's really good.
-What's your batting average recently?

I had 11 hits in 22 at-bats.

-What?
-I had 11 hits in 22 at-bats.

-Is it .500?
-Yes.

He crushed the college league.
He had 11 hits in 22 at-bats.

Jun-h* and Hyun-in's positions
have changed.

-Hyun-in is the favorite now.
-He's the new favorite.

Totally changed.

Hyun-in is the favorite.

HYUN-IN IS THE FUTURE…

MANAGER'S OFFICE

How have you been?

It's been too long.

After winning the game,
we had to keep the vibe going.

It's been 13 days, hasn't it?

-Yes.
-Thirteen days.

It's been too long.

In the group chat, they say they're ready.

Every player says
they're ready to play the game.

They'll crush them.

MONSTERS GROUP CHAT

I'm nervous.

I saw Bugil Academy's videos.

SIGHING

They're good.

Soo-chang.

SUDDENLY HE THOUGHT
OF HIS STARTING PITCHER

Congratulations.

You've been picked
as the top four legendary stars.

Thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS
LEGENDARY ALL-STAR TOP 4

I thought to myself,

"I'm working with a great person."

DON'T SAY THAT

I thought you were just a spoiler.

But the thing is,

you're a far greater person
than I thought.

I was really honored.

I was next to Choi Dong-won.

I was next to

Sun Dong-yol
who is called the national treasure.

I was next to Lee Jong-beom

the best Korean baseball player.

I was really honored. It was like a dream.

Goodness.

During that short moment,

when the atmosphere was so solemn,

at the site of 40 years of history…

-In front of a lot of audience.
-Yes. My gosh.

-I'm happy.
-Are you?

I was really touched when I saw that.

So I got you a gift.

Did you?

LOOKING AROUND

I'll bring the gift.

WHOA!

-Hello.
-Well…

NO WAY!

-He's my gift.
-No.

Hello.

OH JU-WON IS THE GIFT!

Well…

TWINKLING EYES

-Is he part-time?
-No.

-Full-time?
-Full-time.

I'm not a part-timer anymore.

-Well…
-I signed a contract.

Really?

YOU'RE A REAL STAR…

-You're happy.
-Then…

A STAR IN MY HEART…

We need to change the starter.

ALL HE THINKS ABOUT IS THE STARTER…

I'm a middle reliever.

No, then…

-Sit down.
-Wait.

SIT DOWN AND TALK…

We need to change the lineup.

He's a middle reliever anyway.

-Your middle reliever throws a long time.
-Yes.

Because there aren't
that many trustworthy pitchers.

Shall I warm up

-when Soo-chang warms up?
-Yes.

-But you have to do that in secret.
-Yes.

Ju-won officially joined the team.

(HE'S TOUCHED)

ENDLESS APPLAUSE

Thanks so much for the good offices
of the production crew.

This is more than great support.

I'll be a player that helps the team.

Thank you so much.

This is a really great gift.

-You're really happy.
-It's a big gift.

This is a really good gift.

I'm serious.

DEEPLY MOVED

As of today, Oh Ju-won
joined the Monsters officially.

WOW!

THE PLAYERS WELCOME THIS GIFT

I feel reassured.

He'll play a very big role.

You know the opponent team.

It's Bugil Academy.

They won

the Shinsegae E-Mart Cup.
They're very confident.

They predict the score
to be ten to nothing.

Pardon?

Ten to nothing.

They say they'll beat us
with a called game.

CALLED GAME AND TEN TO NOTHING…

SIGHING

Tell him about Tyson.

I don't want to waste my breath.

I'm a little worried

because they monitored all our games.

-Right.
-So they figured us out.

I'm a little worried about that.

Please keep that in mind.

We can use it to our advantage.

Please think about that.

Let me announce the lineup.

-Number one, Keun-woo.
-Yes.

Second base.

-Number two, Hyun-in.
-Yes.

-Shortstop.
-You've moved up a lot.

HYUN-IN IS HITTER NUMBER 2?

He's the hot player.

He should take the better position.

Number three.

(STARTLED)

-Number three, Yong-taek.
-Thank you.

Yes.

Number four, Seong-hoon.

NUMBER 4, DESIGNATED HITTER,
SEONG-HOON

-DH.
-Thank you.

-Number five, Taek-keun. Center.
-Yes.

-Number six, Dong-wook.
-Yes.

First baseman.

Number seven.

FIGHTING FOR
THE MAIN CATCHER POSITION

-Hong-ku.
-Thank you.

NUMBER 7, CATCHER HONG-KU

You're the catcher.

-Number eight, Soo-hyun.
-Yes.

-Number nine, Moon-h*.
-Yes.

Today's starting pitcher is…

EVERYONE KNOWS WHO IT IS

-Shim Soo-chang.
-Okay.

Go.

IMMORTAL NUMBER 1 PICK SOO-CHANG

Soo-chang did a great job

as the starting pitcher
for the opening game.

Since then, he hasn't done anything.

Today, I hope he regains his honor

against the strong Bugil Academy.
Please give it up for Soo-chang.

-Good luck.
-Thank you.

Soo-chang, let's go.

Please say your resolution.

RESOLUTION

We lost by the mercy rule because of me.

So I felt like I was causing harm.

So, today,

I'll do my best to make us win.

Let's go.

During the all-star game,

you whispered in Dae-h*'s ear.

I heard that, so I exercised harder,

-and hurt my back.
-You hurt your back.

I read the article.

Well…

WELL…

That's Dae-h*
and the production crew's idea.

If Dae-h* joins us,

Eui-yoon can put down
the burden of being the fourth batter.

I have a big picture.

We have a lot of time.
You have a lot to show.

-Dae-h* still has four months to go.
-Yes.

Don't worry about it at all.

PRODUCER JANG SI-WON
WANTS TO RECRUIT LEE DAE-h*

HOW CAN I NOT WORRY?

Isn't there an opening today?

No.

We won't have one to avoid jinx.

(SERIOUS ABOUT JINX)

-Let's go.
-Yes.

Pitchers, stay.

PITCHERS MUST DO SOMETHING(?)

IS THIS WHAT
THE PITCHERS HAVE TO DO?

-Aren't you the starter, Soo-chang?
-Yes.

-Lie down.
-What is this?

Loosen up before you go out to play.

-What is it?
-What?

-What's this?
-This?

It's a massage machine.

I'll put it on stretching mode
because it's before the game.

WOW

It's nice.

I might fall asleep before I play.

You have to wake up. It's too relaxing,

so you'll fall asleep quickly.

The whole family could use this.

If you lie down and play on the phone,

it moves.

LOL

Move already. Let's take turns.

-Why are you hogging all the good stuff?
-Get a grip, Soo-chang.

GET A GRIP, SOO-CHANG…

We can carry it to away matches.

You can take it when you're released.

TAKE IT WHEN YOU'RE RELEASED!

Hey, why are you laughing?

IF YOU'RE WARMED UP,
LET'S PLAY A GAME!

The Monsters with the winning rate of .700

are faced with Bugil Academy,
the Kingdom of Pitchers.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here.

-Hello.
-Hello.

It's a match with Bugil Academy.

This team is known
as the Kingdom of Pitchers.

So, if the Monsters don't make hits soon,

the defense may be stuck.

I can hit a home run
if I set my mind to it.

I'll show you.

We'll win by the mercy rule
and go home proudly.

Pleasant excitement.

That's when I have the best condition.

Today's the day.

Shim Soo-chang is
the starting pitcher today.

"The day Shim Soo-chang debuted again
as the number one pick."

The starting pitcher for the opening game

was Shim Soo-chang.
He showed great pitching.

But, since then,

he didn't meet our expectations.

Don't say "our expectations"
because I always believed in him.

I hope he has the second momentum today.

That's right.

Will Soo-chang overcome his slump?

And will Hong-ku overcome his yips?

I think Manager Lee

is testing these two in this game.

Hong-ku had difficulties recently.

He needs to regain

his confidence to go forward this year.

-I hope he cheers up.
-Yes.

-Please say a word before the game.
-I said everything.

Outfielders,
the wind is blowing left to right.

-Outfielders, go in deep playing defense.
-Okay.

Do your best. No regrets.

-Yes.
-Okay.

-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!

LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!

Don't be intimidated
by the legendary players.

Actually, we're better than them.

Don't go easy on them, okay?

-We have to win, right?
-Yes!

Those who play and those who stay

should play as one team. Got it?

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Bugil Academy.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Bugil is the best!
-Bugil is the best!

-Bugil is the best!
-Bugil is the best!

-Bugil is the best!
-Bugil is the best!

BUGIL ACADEMY GETS A HEAD START
WITH ITS ENERGETIC CHEERING SQUAD

WE CAN'T LOSE!

Why don't we have any spectators?

There are only three people.

HUMBLE

That's insane.

FEELING LIKE THEY LOST ALREADY…

I'M EQUAL TO 100 SPECTATORS!

It's the first round

between Bugil Academy and CK Monsters.

It's the top of the first inning.
Bugil is at bat first.

Shim Soo-chang is the starting pitcher
of CK Monsters.

Though he is the starting pitcher,

his earned run average is pretty shocking.

HE WAS THE CLOSING PITCHER
IN THE 2ND ROUND WITH CHOONGAM

SOO-CHANG DISPLAYED
VARIOUS RECORDS(?)

I think it's time
to show my real self today.

I'll throw as if each hitter
is the last hitter.

The game starts with the first hitter
Kim Jong-u at bat.

He hit a home run

at the Shinsegae Emart Cup
and the Gold Lion Cup.

Let's go!

-Good luck!
-Go!

LET'S GO, SOO-CHANG!

-Good luck!
-Let's go!

-Go!
-Let's go!

It's a high ball.

HMM…

Let's go.

BALL

He's pushing instead of snapping
the ball when he's pitching.

SOO-CHANG CAN'T SNAP THE BALL

Soo-chang can't snap the ball at all.

It looks like he isn't feeling well.

IS HE NOT FEELING WELL?

Actually, I had shoulder pain today.

So I was nervous.

SIGHING…

He hits.

He hits.

WILL THE FIRST HITTER…

He hits.

-He dove.
-He caught it!

First baseman gets up
and steps on the base.

First baseman Seo Dong-wook

plays good defense from the first inning.

DONG-WOOK'S GREAT DEFENSE!

NICE CATCH

Good job.

It's a good thing I'm not first baseman.

First baseman dove to catch the ball.

That would encourage Soo-chang a lot.

(WOW…)

-What?
-That was great.

Was it?

-Are you okay?
-I can't catch my breath.

Take it easy.

Take it slow.

WILL TODAY'S GAME BE OKAY?

Batter two Kim Ji-hwan is at bat.

BATTER 2, KIM JI-HWAN

He can let loose in the infield
if he gets on base.

He's really fast.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

BALL

It's a high ball.

The second pitch is also high.

The third pitch is low. It's three ba*ls.

He can't control the ball!

Shim Soo-chang, the starting pitcher
of the opening game,

is having a hard time pitching.

-Not four ba*ls.
-Soo-chang.

We know Bugil is
an outstanding amateur team.

The first inning is important.

Plus, the w*r of nerves
starts in the first inning.

So Soo-chang can't throw four ba*ls.

FOUR ba*ls

But that's four ba*ls straight.

Soo-chang's four pitches
miss the strike zone.

Batter two walks.

I was going to throw strikes,

but I kept throwing ba*ls.

I had a mental breakdown from the start.

-Seung-jun, warm up.
-Yes, sir.

CALM

MANAGER LEE GETS SEUNG-JUN READY

Soo-chang pitched for two hitters.

He isn't like the way he was
at the opening game.

He's having difficulties throwing strikes.

But the defensive players
are backing him up.

He needs to trust them.

YOU DON'T PLAY BASEBALL ALONE

1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

Batter three Kim Chae-un is at bat.

MOVING

He pushes Soo-chang's outside pitch.

NO…

-He pushes Soo-chang's outside pitch.
-Go back!

-The wind.
-It's windy.

IT FLIES FARTHER BECAUSE OF THE WIND

It flies high to the right.
Right fielder Kim Moon-h*

moves to the back and catches it.

NICE CATCH

We can see how the outfielders

are trying to help Soo-chang.

SOO-CHANG INCREASES THE OUT COUNTS

Right fielder Kim Moon-h*
catches the ball.

Two outs with a runner on first base.

Batter four Moon Hyeon-bin is at bat.

We should watch out for him.
He's the captain.

He has been the fourth batter
for a long time.

He's a good hitter, and he's fast.

-Is he?
-Yes.

He stole the most bases. Ten bases.

FOCUSED

Go!

-Go!
-He starts running.

He throws it to second base.

He's dead.

He did it.

OUT? SAFE?

He starts running.
He throws it to second base.

He misses the ball.
The runner reaches second base.

Okay.

THAT'S JI-HWAN!

You can see that Hong-ku's throw

was too right-sided.

The runner started running
really fast though.

Even if Hong-ku threw it well,
he would've been safe.

Yes.

Good job, Hong-ku!

-It's okay!
-Hong-ku.

It was good.

Two outs. A runner on second base.

Soo-chang has to pitch
with a runner in a scoring position.

HOME RUN KING IS AT BAT NEXT

PLEASE

He pushes.

A 3RD BASE GROUND BALL

Third baseman catches it.
Choi Soo-hyun sends it

to first base perfectly.

With the help of the trustworthy
infielders and outfielders,

Soo-chang finishes the inning
without allowing any hits.

SOO-CHANG FINISHES THE INNING
WITH THE DEFENSE'S HELP

You did a good job. Nice.

-Good job.
-Well done.

-Nice.
-Good defense.

-Dong-wook.
-Yes.

-You saved me.
-Nice pitching.

-Nice.
-Good job.

Nice pitching. You were good.

Jeez, I'm tired. I can't breathe.

That's it. Hey, man.

HEY, MAN!

-You won't be released.
-Nice.

-Let's resurrect.
-Yes, sir.

Even though Soo-chang lost his confidence,

he can throw aggressively
thanks to the fielders.

-We are one team.
-That's right.

-Run!
-Go!

-Let's go.
-Okay.

All right.

Jang U-jin won
the Outstanding Pitcher Award.

He's in his third year of high school.

It looks fast.

-It's fast.
-It looks like it.

Think of it as playing against
a high school team. Take it easy.

-Yes, sir.
-Don't be nervous.

Bugil Academy won
the national cup this year.

That's when they got the nickname,
"the Kingdom of Pitchers."

It's impossible to find pitchers
finishing the game in an amateur league.

-Right.
-However,

Manager Lee Sang-kun's Bugil
made it happen.

BUGIL ACADEMY,
THE KINGDOM OF PITCHERS SUCCEEDED

The bottom of the first inning begins
with Jeong Keun-woo at bat.

BATTER 1, JEONG KEUN-WOO

Come on, center-right! Center!

Number six!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

Number seven!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

Jeong Keun-woo.

-Strike!
-It's a strike.

He threw a cutter
to make the count favorable to him.

A CUTTER AT 139KM/H

He's a high school student, but he can
throw a cutter to make a favorable count.

It was difficult to get the right timing
to hit his cutter.

It wasn't an easy ball to hit.

It hits the end of the bat. It's a foul.

He barely hit the ball which means that

-it's a great cutter.
-Yes.

-Your cutter is famous.
-I say he's good.

HE APPROVES JANG U-JIN'S CUTTER

How will he hit the outward pitch?

HOW WILL HE TACKLE THE CUTTER?

He hits the high ball.

HE HIT!

He hits the high ball.

It flies high.
Center fielder puts his hand up.

He waits and catches the ball. One out.

1 OUT

NICE CATCH!

Batter two Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

He has the highest batting average
among the Monsters.

It's around .390.

Ryu Hyun-in.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

Let's go, Hyun-in!

LET'S HIT!

-Let's go.
-Okay.

STRIKE

The first pitch is a strike.

It's fast.

I think he can throw mid-140km/h.

-Does it look fast because it's 140s?
-Yes.

There are better pitchers after him.

But look at him throw.
Bugil sure is the Kingdom of Pitchers.

IT SURE IS THE KINGDOM OF PITCHERS!

-Let's go.
-Go.

HIT!

-Run.
-He hit the ball.

First baseman caught it. He sprints.

But the outfielder is faster.

Bugil Academy plays

pitcher-centered games.

So the infielders are pretty tight.

-First baseman has good moves.
-Yes.

Batter three Park Yong-taek is up next.

He has the lowest

batting average on his team.

It's .265

which is the lowest on the team.

Yes. He must feel embarrassed
by his low batting average

in front of the young players.

Don't you think so?

Baseball is very difficult.

You shouldn't be greedy.

But you need to be aggressive.

It's a right-side foul.

FOUL

SIGHING!

Okay!

-Strike!
-A low outward pitch. It's a strike.

SIGHING

Only one strike left until a strikeout.

Rather than a big swing,
it has to be a compact swing.

Yes.

Pitcher Jang U-jin.

WHAT WILL IT BE?

He swings and misses. A strikeout.

STRIKE

The starting pitcher Jang U-jin
takes Park Yong-taek out

with a strikeout.

NICE U-JIN!

He swings and misses. A strikeout.

U-jin proved why Bugil
was the Kingdom of Pitchers.

A high school student throwing
perfect cutters and splitters?

Yes.

-He can play the big boys.
-Yes.

SIGHING…

It's the top of the second inning.

Starting pitcher Jang U-jin showed

why Bugil was the Kingdom of Pitchers
in the bottom of the first inning.

We know that

Bugil has stronger pitchers
coming up later.

Yes.

The starting pitcher was already powerful.

-So I'm a little scared.
-Yes.

Soo-chang didn't allow any hits
in the previous inning.

He's still pitching.

Leadoff hitter Lee Seung-hyeon is at bat.

SWING!

It's a swing.

0 BALL 1 STRIKE

He threw a curve ball to steal the timing.

Yes.

Show him!

-Second pitch. Another falling ball.
-Yes, he won't give him the timing.

Pitcher Shim Soo-chang threw two strikes.

OKAY!

When you look at Soo-chang's squeeze,
you can tell he's confident.

Whether it's a curve ball or a splitter.

I wonder what it is this time.

The count is two strikes.

A falling pitch.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.

STRIKEOUT

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

It's the first strikeout of the day.

He did it with a falling pitch.

NICE

That was very impressive.

He threw a curve, then two splitters.

The second and the third splitters
were different.

The second one fell moderately.

The last one dropped more.
It fell perfectly.

HE CONTROLLED THE DROP

Batter six Hong Jun-seo is at bat.

6TH HITTER HONG JUN-SEO

GIVING A SIGN
SHAKING HEAD

Shim Soo-chang's first pitch.

STRIKE

He makes the hitter swing and miss.

What? It's a good pitch.

It's good. Let's keep this up.

ANOTHER SLIDER

STRIKE

What was that?

WAY TO GO, SOO-CHANG!

He can keep throwing.

So far, his pitching reminds me

of the opening game.

SOO-CHANG REMINDS US
OF THE OPENING GAME!

BALL

That fell too short.

Hey, Soo-chang!

It's the fourth pitch.

It bounces off the ground.

It's too high.

The count match.

But it's up too high.

It's another four ba*ls.

HE LETS THE HITTER WALK

-Jeez.
-Goodness.

HE THREW 2 STRIKES SO WHY…

He threw two good strikes.

The count was at two strikes.

-It ended with four ba*ls.
-Yes.

Usually when a pitcher wants to show more,

they end up straining the arm.

-That messes up the balance.
-I see.

What you just threw was good.
Check the timing.

OKAY!

One out. A runner on first base.

Soo-chang's kick motion is slow.

No need to give him a sign to steal bases.

Let's go!

Batter seven Lee Jin-yong is at bat.

Soo-chang threw four ba*ls previously.

He holds the first base runner.

He holds the first base runner.
He misses the ball.

-The runner goes to second base.
-He's going to third.

He's running to third base!

-He's going to third.
-Three!

-He's running to third base!
-Three!

No!

NO!

Hong Jun-seo makes third base his.

-Okay.
-Good.

NICE JUN-SEO!

Good job.

Soo-chang's pickoff
resulted in a runner on third base.

Jeez.

Idiot.

He didn't have to overdo it.

-After this inning, Seung-jun will go in.
-Okay.

MANAGER LEE PREPARES
FOR A SUBSTITUTION

It was too fast, wasn't it?

Soo-chang, let's take it slow.

One out. A runner on third base.

Soo-chang might let them score
without any hits.

It's okay.

-Stop him.
-You can stop him!

Yes, you can stop him.

MANAGER LEE GIVES A SIGN

CK Monsters' infielders moved up
to play defense.

The infielders have moved up.
Hit a big one!

Here's the thing.

Sometimes you play well
when you're under the weather.

Whether it's a good hit or a bad hit,

sometimes fielders take care of it.

You have to throw the ball

with the belief
that no matter how you pitch,

the fielders will defend well.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.

It's a ground ball.

-Second baseman catches it!
-He caught it.

The runner is kept on base.
The hitter is out on first base.

Second baseman
Jeong Keun-woo's perfect judgment

stops Soo-chang from losing points.

-Okay. He did it.
-Thank you.

-Good!
-Thank you.

Third base runner couldn't run
when Keun-woo looked at him.

Keun-woo stopped them from scoring
with one look.

That's right.

THANK YOU!

Two outs. A runner on third base.
Only one out left.

Batter eight Kim Yun-u is at bat.

It's the last hitter! Come on!

Good. He just has to stop this one.
Here comes a chance.

-All right.
-Good.

-Strike.
-The first pitch is a strike.

-All right.
-Good.

NICE FIRST PITCH!

We need to score!

A RUNNER ON 3RD BASE

He swings and misses. Two strikes.

SOO-CHANG THROWS A STRIKE
AT A FAST PACE

Soo-chang's pitching pace became faster.

That's it.

It's nice.

There's a good chance of Soo-chang
throwing another low splitter.

So Hong-ku needs to block it perfectly.

Hong-ku, blocking.

HONG-KU! BLOCKING!

Stop him!

Kim Yun-u is at bat.

The opponent is in a scoring position,
and there's only one out count left.

All right.

PLEASE

He swings and misses. A strikeout.

STRIKEOUT

NICE!

The inning is over.

He created a crisis. With Keun-woo's help,

he overcame the crisis himself.

Hong-ku. Good blocking.

-That was good.
-Good job.

Nice.

-You're good.
-I was touched.

-Nice.
-Good job.

Seriously…

Slider?

Your slider is good.
They keep swinging and missing.

It's better to throw sliders.

Hong-ku made good pitching combinations.

He gave me a sign to throw a slider.

I didn't want to throw it.

But he was persistent
unlike the other days.

He kept telling me to throw it.

I wasn't so sure,
but I trusted him and threw a slider.

Since then, I kept throwing
what he told me to throw.

We're at an advantage.

OKAY!

Okay. Good defense.

Let's call it a day.

-I can do one more inning.
-Do you want to?

I finally got the hang of it.

-Did you?
-Yes.

-One more.
-Okay.

-Hong-ku.
-Good job.

It's the bottom of the second inning.
The Monsters are at bat.

The starting pitcher Shim Soo-chang
hasn't lost any points.

It's the second inning.

Leadoff hitter, batter four
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.

Let's go.

LET'S GET ON BASE!

I've seen only a few pitches.

But Jang U-jin's cutter

is the best.

PITCHER JANG U-JIN IS STILL PITCHING

SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT, GENIUS!

It hit the edge. It's slow.

Second baseman catches it
and throws it to first base.

Jeong Seong-hoon
can't reach the base before the ball.

-One out.
-What am I doing?

That's the standard cutter.
You have to throw like that.

The ball hit
the end of Seong-hoon's bat slightly.

Why did I hit the ball?

Jeez.

What is the speed of the ball?

It's powerful for a high school student.

-Really?
-Yes.

HIT

He pushed.

It's a ground ball.
The pitcher covers first base.

He goes to the base himself. Two outs.

COMFORTABLE

The Monsters won't have it easy today.

U-JIN GOT 2 OUTS IN NO TIME

Okay, two outs. Dong-wook, lift it up.

Let's go.

Batter six Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

STRIKE

The first pitch is a strike.

GOOD JOB

OH, MAN…

Second pitch.

FOUL

The Monsters rarely hit U-jin's ball

with the center of the bat.

His timing is on a professional level.

Yes.

He's different from the others I've seen.

-A little different. Yes.
-His lower body moves nicely.

-It turns like this.
-Yes.

TAEK-KEUN, YONG-TAEK, SEONG-HOON
ARE ALL OUT

BUGIL 0 : 0 MONSTERS

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

THE FIRST THREE BATTERS ARE
RETIRED ONE AFTER ANOTHER!

U-JIN DID THAT!

Again, the starting pitcher U-jin
finishes the inning

by taking out three hitters.

LET'S PLAY DEFENSE

Soo-chang has to cut their flow.

SOO-CHANG, PLEASE…

TOP OF THE 3RD INNING
BUGIL 0 : 0 MONSTERS

CK Monsters' starting pitcher

Shim Soo-chang is getting ready to revive.

So far, he hasn't let them score or hit.

Let's go.
It's your last inning, Soo-chang!

He's faced with batter nine Kim Jin-seo.

-That's it.
-He threw a slider. It's a strike.

Soo-chang just threw a slider.

Hong-ku told him

to throw a slider

-even if he isn't confident.
-Yes.

"You have to fight for trajectory."

CATCHER HONG-KU IS LEADING
WITH THE SLIDER

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.

Third baseman moves.
He catches it and sends it to first base.

-Hey.
-Hey.

WILL HE MISS?

He catches it and sends it to first base.

The runner is out on first base.

Good!

Seo Dong-wook takes care of it perfectly.

-I said I'd catch anything.
-Good job.

It's his day.

The fielders
are taking care of everything.

WITH THE NEXT HITTER KIM JONG-U

He hits the ball.

The center fielder moves.

Lee Taek-keun takes care of it. Two outs.

-Yes.
-Okay.

Center fielder Taek-keun ran

and gave Soo-chang
the second out as a gift.

Whenever the batter hits the ball,

-the fielders go after it.
-Right.

-It's as if there are about 20 fielders.
-Yes.

Batter nine Kim Ji-hwan is at bat.

BATTER 2, KIM JI-HWAN

The first pitch is a strike.

-Okay.
-That's it.

-Okay.
-Good.

Let's go.

He hasn't allowed a hit.
He shouldn't be substituted.

Of course not.

The ball drops. It's a strike.

OKAY, THAT'S IT!

-He's good today.
-He's doing well.

Shim Soo-chang hasn't allowed
any hits until the third inning.

This is your favorite,

-a pitchers' match.
-It really is.

I'm only seeing the pitchers.

Do you remember any hitters today?

-Nobody yet.
-No, right?

We can talk about the pitchers.

On a day like this,
we can talk about them.

There aren't any memorable hitters yet.

Let's stop them here.

-Let's end it cleanly.
-Go easy, Hong-ku.

BUGIL 0 : 0 MONSTERS

Shim Soo-chang concentrates.

-Strike!
-It's in! Strikeout looking.

-Strike!
-It's in! Strikeout looking.

TOUCHED

-I'm crying.
-Let's go.

-Go.
-Keep going.

Three strikeouts.

The Monsters' starting pitcher is back.

Keep going.

He can keep going.

-Throw more. Keep going.
-Good.

GROANING…

I'm tired.

You're the best.

-I hung in there.
-Good job.

-I survived.
-You're the best.

The minor league stadium suits me.

WOW!

When I met Soo-chang over the weekend,

he said he wouldn't pitch.
He said he was in trouble

because he was the first one
to be released.

But he's so good today.

BOTTOM OF THE 3RD INNING
BUGIL 0 : 0 MONSTERS

The highest spot on the field

is where the pitchers stand,
and it's the pitchers' fight today.

Jang U-jin hasn't allowed any runs today,

and he's back on the mound.

It's still only the beginning of the game,

but the pitchers' fight
is really fascinating today.

Hong-ku, let's go!

It's the third inning.

Batter seven Lee Hong-ku
is at bat for the first time.

CK Monsters aren't able to hit the ball
with the center of the bat.

The ball bounces high.

The second baseman catches it.

The runner is out on first base.

The hit doesn't go outside the infield.

No.

Today U-jin

let Keun-woo hit a fly ball
that was caught by a center fielder.

Other than that,
all the hits were caught in the infield.

It's an amateur team.

But the Monsters' batters
have never been like this.

-Right.
-That's more surprising.

None of them has got on first base.

Hey, Soo-hyun. Left-handed batters
don't have to push on purpose.

-Okay.
-Because it'll fly far.

Batter eight Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

Okay, Soo-hyun!

Soo-hyun, let's show them!

Among the three youngest players,

Soo-hyun is the most worried.

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch.
Between first and second bases.

Go.

-He fell.
-He catches it and slips.

The throw was off on first base.

Choi Soo-hyun takes first base.

-Okay!
-Yes!

Nice!

You did it!

-Wasn't that your first hit?
-A hit?

Your first hit.

CK Monsters' Choi Soo-hyun

finally made his first hit.

It's not memorable,
but it's a good hit still.

Yes. One out. A runner on first base.

Choi Soo-hyun
is the first hitter to get on base

-against Jang U-jin.
-He got on base.

-Now, they have to do it.
-Yes.

Manager Lee gives a sign.

And Coach Jung Soo-sung
says something to Soo-hyun.

I wonder what he told him to do.

GLANCING

-He sets off!
-He's going!

TRYING TO STEAL A BASE

He throws it to second base.
He slides head first!

Go!

He got it.

-Go!
-He throws it to second base.

-He slides head first!
-Out.

-Safe.
-He's safe!

SATISFIED

-Good job!
-He did it!

Instant replay?

It's vague. No.

He says don't do it. Hyeon-bin says no.

It's vague.

You shouldn't do it if it's vague.

Anyway, he made the first hit of the day.

He stole a base and even put himself
in a scoring position.

SOO-HYUN CREATED A SITUATION
WHERE HE CAN SCORE

One out. A runner on second base.

Can the Monsters score first?

Batter nine Kim Moon-h*.

-Okay.
-Get the hitter.

HIT!

-Jeez.
-It's a ground ball.

The ball bounces.
Kim Moon-h* is out on first base.

2 OUT

THAT WAS SAFE!

Timeout.

Instant replay, please.

-He requested an instant replay.
-He did.

Manager Lee's hawk eye is in action again.

Is it an instant replay?

OUT!

SAFE!

At first, he didn't step on the base.

Afterward…

1ST BASEMAN STEPS
ON IT FIRST BY A NOSE!

Seriously…

That was by a hair's breadth.

-Yes.
-It really was.

-Out.
-His decision doesn't change.

It was just as you saw.

LOST AN INSTANT REPLAY

Manager Lee used one instant replay.

Two outs. A runner on third base.

The Monsters need a hit.

Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

He has the best RBI on the team.

Watch out for the first pitch.

Hey! Move back!

(MOVE BACK)

Go!

THE OUTFIELDERS MOVE BACK

WILL THE MONSTERS SCORE FIRST?

STRIKE

(THIS…?)

It's a strike.

THAT BALL WENT HIGH! TOO HIGH!

It was high.

-Keun-woo isn't happy with the strike.
-No.

Because the ball was on the high side,
he appealed for it.

HE HITS!

THAT'S IT!

He hits. It flies left!

Left fielder can't catch it.

-Okay!
-He did it!

-Run!
-Okay.

RBI maker Jeong Keun-woo did it again!

BUGIL 0 : 1 MONSTERS

Jeong Keun-woo reaches second base.
What a timely hit.

Songdo!

-Songdo!
-Yes!

The starting pitcher Jang U-jin
loses the first point.

The score is one to nothing.

A splitter came in high in the center.
He made an extra-base hit.

That's Jeong Keun-woo.

The first batter has
number one home run and RBI records.

Choi Soo-hyun's infield hit
and a stolen base.

Then Jeong Keun-woo's timely hit.

Today, the Monsters score first as usual.

2 OUTS, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

Batter two Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

Currently, Hyun-in is better
at hitting than anyone else.

He's going to aim high.

-Yes.
-Yes.

NERVOUS

The first pitch is far and high.

It goes far out.

Jeez.

U-JIN IS SHAKING
AFTER LOSING A POINT

Stop him.

(DON'T BE NERVOUS!)

-Go.
-You can do it.

We'll see if Keun-woo stays on base

or scores.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

HE HITS!

He hits!

The ball goes past the second baseman.

THE HIT GOES PAST THE 2ND BASEMAN!

NICE, HYUN-IN

The runners keep going.
Keun-woo runs to home plate.

No.

-He's dead.
-He's dead.

Keun-woo runs to home plate.

The ball is thrown to the home plate.

He slid.

OUT?

SAFE?

WHAT'S THE RESULT?

KEUN-WOO MADE IT. SAFE!

Jeong Keun-woo dodges the tag.

The score is two to nothing.

CK Monsters have Jeong Keun-woo.

KEUN-WOO, NICE!

-Nice.
-Good job, one and two!

HYUN-IN IS NICE TOO!

HYUN-IN'S BATTING SKILL HAS IMPROVED

-Is it hittable?
-Yes.

I thought he'd be out
considering the timing.

He slid and dodged the tag.

Like you said,

I thought he would be out
when the ball was thrown.

But, here, he turned his body and slid.

KEUN-WOO'S WITTY SLIDING!

He turned his body.

I never expected a slide like this.

A PLAY BY A DEVILISH 2ND BASEMAN!

Good job!

Timeout.

BUGIL REQUESTS A TIMEOUT

-Are you okay?
-What's the problem?

-It's slightly one-sided.
-Is it?

Yes. Be careful when you throw a forkball,

The balance and everything else are good.

It's easy to catch up on two points.

It's okay. Take it easy.

Keun-woo and Hyun-in made hits
one after another.

The pitcher lost two points
after two outs.

Batter three Park Yong-taek is at bat.

CAPTAIN, LET'S GO!

It's about time.

You should've done it already!

Seriously, you should've!

-Strike!
-The first is a fast one toward the body.

U-jin, that was good.

Good job.

He pushed. It's a foul.

Jeez. Too slow!

CALLING

MANAGER LEE GIVES AN ORDER

GIVING SIGNS

BUGIL 0 : 2 MONSTERS

He lost two points after getting two outs.

The pitcher holds
the runner on first base.

The pitcher holds
the runner on first base.

He's caught!

To second base.

-First base. Hyun-in.
-Go.

Rundown. He tries to tag him.

-Out!
-It was a tag…

-The umpire called it out.
-Safe.

Hyun-in says…
But if they use another instant replay…

Timeout!

Manager Lee uses it.

REQUESTS AN INSTANT REPLAY

It was not out from here.
It was too close.

He used the second instant replay.

He thinks

that this inning is the most important.

I see. Let's take a look.

Tag…

I'm not sure.

-Touching the uniform is considered a tag.
-The glove…

It looks like he didn't touch it.

Let's look at it slowly from this angle.

Seen from here, it didn't touch.

Yes.

The umpire took the headset off.

-Second base. It's safe!
-Okay.

THAT'S IT!

(SMILING)

SHOCKED

Hyun-in became a runner
in a scoring position at a time of crisis.

This is what it is.

Manager Lee thought
of this inning as critical.

Also, Park Yong-taek is at bat.

More than Instant replay,

scoring is important.

ASTONISHED

It's one ball and two strikes.
What result will

Park Yong-taek bring
from this instant replay?

The count is unfavorable to him.

-We have the momentum.
-It's all ready.

Be Lava Taek.

-Strike.
-He swings and misses. Strikeout.

The inning is over.

This is bad.

Jeez.

Jeez.

CAPTAIN TAEK COULDN'T USE THE CHANCE

I couldn't get it.

I COULDN'T GET THE TIMING…

WOW…

-They're good.
-Seung-jun is next.

How are you? Are you all right?

I warmed up too much.

-Did you?
-Yes.

-Expect to throw three innings.
-Yes.

Today's starting pitcher
Shim Soo-chang's shoulders

aren't 100 percent well.

So Manager Lee
substituted Song Seun-jun right away.

Manager Lee Sang-kun's strategy

was to score one or two points
and keep that score.

Yes.

They should've scored
when Soo-chang pitched.

-Right.
-But they didn't.

Now the best pitchers will throw.

You said Soo-chang was the best.

Yes.

If you say,
"Now the best pitchers will throw."

Isn't that misleading?

What are you saying?

(BRAZEN)

It's the top of the fourth inning.
Bugil is at bat.

Batter three Kim Chae-un is at bat.

-The first pitch.
-Strike.

It's a strike.

The ball…

HONG-KU MADE A MISTAKE
THROWING THE BALL

Hong-ku.

Stand up. Do it like you practiced.

Hong-ku, throw it harder.

NODDING

Seung-jun's first pitch
was a splitter and a strike.

HE HITS!

-He hits the low pitch.
-Go!

It skips off the bat.
Dong-wook goes after it.

He catches it in foul territory. One out.

-Nice play!
-Good job.

Let's go.

-Let's go, Bugil!
-Let's go, Bugil!

Jeez!

Don't think when you throw.

OKAY

He threw it to the side again.

It seemed like his hand
was curling strangely.

So I kept telling him to throw hard
during the game.

I tried to tell him that he could do it.

I said things that would cheer him up.

HMM…

Batter four Moon Hyeon-bin is at bat.

His batting average is .464
in the high school league.

He hit two home runs and stole ten bases.

-It's a bunt.
-He bunted.

Moon Hyeon-bin is a fast runner.

-Harder.
-Okay.

When Seung-jun is pitching,

none of the throws is good.

That's why it's hard
for Seung-jun to pitch.

He also has to look after Hong-ku.

Seung-jun is trying really hard.

That's right.

CAN HE OVERCOME THIS SITUATION?

He hits the fourth pitch.

HE HITS!

He hits the fourth pitch.

It flies center-left.
Left fielder and center fielder.

-What?
-That's it.

HYEON-BIN SPRINTS

-Jeez.
-He'll catch it.

No, it's okay.

It flies center-left.
Left fielder and center fielder.

Left fielder!

It flies center-left.
Left fielder and center fielder.

Left fielder! He catches it!

-He caught it!
-Park Yong-taek!

-That was Park Yong-taek!
-Park Yong-taek!

Park Yong-taek!

Park Yong-taek's amazing play
even surprised Song Seung-jun.

THAT WAS INSANE, CAPTAIN

He caught it.

UNBELIEVABLE

HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

NICE PLAY

(OPENS HIS MOUTH IN SHOCK)

Defense Taek!

WOW!

I'm pretty sure
he's never done that before.

Never in his life has he done that.

He wasn't known for being a good catcher.

It's his unprecedented catch.

A PERFECT CATCH OF THE BALL
COMING FROM BEHIND

I was getting ready to say
that it was a hit

but he managed to catch the ball
coming from behind his shoulders.

Today, he's not the Batter Taek we know,
he's Defense Taek.

That was an extraordinary play.

He showed us an outstanding play.

It was great when he caught it.

But he ran to the wall and jumped on it,
which was completely unnecessary.

So I thought
Park Yong-taek not only is capable,

but he's also a performer.

Thanks to Park Yong-taek's catch,

Bugil still has no hits.

Fifth hitter, Lee Seung-hyeon, is up next.

FIRST PITCH, BALL

Darn it.

HONG-KU MESSES UP HIS THROW AGAIN

Hong-ku.

Don't worry.
Seung-jun is his mental health coach.

You have to change how you think.

Lee Hong-ku is aware

of the love and care from his seniors.

That's right.

Hong-ku needs to overcome this. He must.

HE HITS!

He pushes it.

A HIT IN FRONT OF THE LEFT FIELDER

A hit in left field.

-Nice!
-Yes!

NICE, SEUNG-HYEON

Bugil finally manages to get a hit.

BUGIL'S FIRST HIT

Seung-jun has to pitch

and also take care of Hong-ku.

Two outs with a runner one first.

Next up is Hong Jun-seo, the sixth hitter.

-Swing the first pitch.
-Let's go!

-Strike!
-The pitch was in. Strike.

Throw with force.

The pitcher has to throw his ball,

but he worried more about how I threw it.

-Strike!
-Another breaking ball.

(GOOD!)

The ball drops down low.

It's an uncaught third strike.

HONG-KU, PLEASE…

Throw it!

WILL HE BE ABLE TO THROW WELL
THIS TIME?

The ball drops down low.
It's an uncaught third strike.

The inning finishes with this.

Great job.

Throw with confidence!

JUST THROW IT

-Nice call.
-Good call, Seung-jun.

-Nice!
-Great job!

Well done.

HE'S HESITATING TO TALK TO SEUNG-JUN

I know I have to change how I think.

-But when I throw a ball,
-Yes.

-Nice.
-I think about botching the throw

and when that thought
crosses my mind, I throw.

Just don't think about that.

Just don't think about anything
and chuck it.

Just chuck it.

-Even if it's a wild throw.
-Okay.

Before watching A Clean Sweep,
people thought Seung-jun was intimidating.

They had no idea he was this funny
and full of emotions.

They were surprised.

-He's warm-hearted.
-For sure.

The bottom of the fourth inning
starts off with Monsters on offense.

Jang U-jin still takes the mound.

The first hitter is Jeong Seong-hoon.

He pushes the ball, but it's a foul.

FIRST PITCH, FOUL

Nice ball.

Your pitch is forcing a foul!

HE HITS!

Run.

A ground ball.

In fair territory near third.

HE'S SPRINTING

-Hurry.
-Come on!

From first base!

HE THROWS IT!

From first base!

He's safe.

NICE SEONG-HOON

Was that a hit?

I must be fast.

PROUD OF HIMSELF

First hitter on a base.

This is the first time
that's happened today.

Manager Lee Sang-kun has to keep in mind

that when there are one or two runners,

he needs to make a decision
to switch the pitcher or not,

even if the current pitcher is
throwing well,

because that'll affect
the outcome of the game.

No outs. A runner on first base.

The fifth hitter, Lee Taek-keun, is up.

First hitter on a base.

It's the first time that's happened today.

Now it's up to Lee Taek-keun.

He hits the first pitch!

He hits the first pitch! A line drive!

And to first base! He gets back on first.

One out.

Moon Hyeon-bin catches
the well-hit line drive.

It hurts.

HE GROANS IN PAIN

His hand will hurt.
The ball was going at around 170km/h.

It was an extremely fast ball.

Why is the ball so fast?

Nice, Hyeon-bin.

TWO MORE OUTS LEFT
BEFORE THE INNING ENDS

Batter six, Seo Dong-wook.

He makes contact. It's a fly ball.

It flies to the right field.

But it gets caught
in front of the warning track.

Two outs now.

NEXT UP IS HONG-KU

FIRST PITCH, STRIKE

SECOND PITCH, STRIKE

SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT

He finishes with a swing and a miss.

The Monsters had a chance with two outs,
but they couldn't score a run.

All right.

Let's turn the game around.
We're good enough.

Let's go!

Bring it in.

-Let's do this!
-Let's do this!

This is the fifth inning.

TOP OF THE FIFTH INNING
BUGIL 0 : 2 MONSTERS

Leading off with batter seven,
Lee Jin-yong.

Let's get on a base!

HE HITS THE FIRST PITCH!

A ground ball.
Shortstop dashes in and fields it.

Ryu Hyun-in.

1 OUT

NICE, HYUN-IN!

-Good job!
-I think he's really good.

I THINK HIS DEFENSE IS REALLY GOOD

Right now, Ryu Hyun-in

is a player who has improved so much.

-You can tell how much he improved.
-Indeed.

Every single game.

-Nice catch.
-Good play!

Next up is the DH, Kim Yun-u.

The game will turn around
starting with you.

Let's do this!

HE HITS!

-In the front!
-It's flying very high.

FLY BALL INTO THE RIGHT FIELD

Right fielder catches it.

Kim Moon-h* catches it for the second out.

When you throw different breaking ba*ls,

the hitters lose their timing.

Seung-jun took care
of Lee Jin-yong, the first hitter,

and the eighth hitter, Kim Yun-u.

He only allowed a single hit
since he took the mound.

ONLY ALLOWED ONE HIT

He's now against batter nine, Kim Jin-seo.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Kim Jin-seo!
-Kim Jin-seo!

FOUL

That was a breaking ball.

But a foul, skipping off the bat.

The stitches on the baseball got loose.

He barely made contact
at the end of the bat.

Seung-jun also can pitch a curve.

Or he can go for a four-seam outside.

-Kim Jin-seo!
-Kim Jin-seo!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

What just happened?

He pushes it out!

Second base, Jeong Keun-woo, catches it.

Hey, Nice!

BUGIL STILL DOESN'T HAVE A BIG HIT
WITH THEIR LINEUP AGAINST THE MONSTERS

-Well played.
-Nice!

-Nice.
-We got this.

RELAXED

That was a neat play.

Seung-jun pitches a 1-2-3 inning
and retires 3 batters easily.

This is the bottom of the fifth inning.

-Beom-geun.
-Yes, sir.

-Don't run away from them.
-Yes, sir.

-Pitch aggressively.
-Yes, sir.

Kim Beom-geun from Bugil Academy
takes the mound next.

He has great command and pitches

near-perfect changeups and sliders.

He's basically Yoo Hee-kwan
of Bugil Academy.

What is important here is that
because they are losing by two points,

they must not allow any runs by any means.

In the batter's box is Choi Soo-hyun,
who made his first hit today

with CK Monsters.

You can do this!

STRIKE

What was that?

The height of his pitch is fascinating.

He knows how to pitch
into the very corner of the strike zone.

And the delivery feels like
it's coming straight down.

That's right.

They have a good pitcher.

Come on!

-Strike!
-It's a strike.

-That was really good.
-Yes.

-Nice ball.
-Yes!

Wow, his pitches.

Zero and two. Unfavorable for the hitter.

HE HITS!

Darn it.

He hits the breaking ball.

-That was good.
-It goes over second base.

Soo-hyun with multiple hits now!

He goes for second!

To second base!

He connects it to second.
But Choi Soo-hyun…

SOO-HYUN GETS ON 2ND FASTER

But Choi Soo-hyun gets on second
before the ball!

THAT'S THE PLAY!

Nice play!

Choi Soo-hyun wasn't happy
with a single hit.

He swings for the multi-hit!

HE SIGHS

I should've pitched down a bit.

Gosh.

A runner on second.

A RUNNER ON SECOND

MANAGER LEE SIGNALS THE PLAN
AS SOON AS THE RUNNER GETS ON BASE

SIGNALS THE PLAN

Just the normal one.

Ninth batter, Kim Moon-h*.

Manager Lee goes for a bunt.

This needs to work out.

HE WANTS TO SEND
THE RUNNER TO THIRD

Great!

Look inside!

AND BRING HIM HOME

A HIT-BY-PITCH

Moon-h* got hit by a pitch.

EVERYONE IS SURPRISED

WORRIED

-It hit your chest, right?
-Gosh.

I think it hit his chest.

-His chest?
-Yes.

Just stay still for now.
How's your breathing?

-I think he was hit here.
-Just relax.

It's okay. Let's take it slow.

A BIG INJURY?

FLUSTERED

He got hit hard.

He got hit on the abdomen, near the chest.

This needs to be taken care of quickly
since it's the chest.

SAD AND WORRIED

Are you able to breathe?

-Goodness.
-He got up.

-He got up.
-It seems like he's okay.

-I was so startled.
-Give Kim Moon-h* a round of applause!

-Kim Moon-h*!
-Kim Moon-h*!

We were all surprised, but thank goodness.

We don't want him to be injured.

(THANK GOODNESS)

AWARDED 1ST BASE

Thank goodness he's okay.

It's fine.

Kim Beom-geun expresses his apologies.

Kim Moon-h* smiles back
to say that it's okay.

HE'S ANXIOUS

It's all right.

MANAGER VISITS THE MOUND
FOR MENTAL COACHING

He was hit by a pitch.

But it's the past now.

Take it slow since runners are
on first and second.

If you try too hard,
it may not work out for you.

-Take care of the bunts slowly, okay?
-Yes, sir.

A productive out! Let's get on a base!

Choi Soo-hyun is on second
and Kim Moon-h* is on first.

With two runners on first and second,

Jeong Keun-woo steps into the box.

He looks at the low ball.
The ball bounces.

But runners couldn't advance.

He's shaken up

after he pitched a dead ball.

The ball is away.

The ball is far outside.

A low pitch.

It comes in deep. A base on ba*ls.

-Nice!
-There you go!

-Good eye.
-Nice job!

Good eye, Keun-woo! Let's go!

Now, the bases are loaded.

And the most important player
in this lineup today is Ryu Hyun-in.

That's right.

Aim for the outfield, Hyun-in!

(LET'S FOCUS)

-Strike!
-First pitch is a strike.

HE NODS HIS HEAD

His nodding makes me think that
something big will come soon.

It was a great pitch.

I wonder what made Hyun-in feel
so sure that he could hit it.

His contact has been on a roll these days.

Let's see how you do here.
Let's pop it up.

The bases are full.

And Ryu Hyun-in's bat is on fire.

-Kim Beom-geun!
-Kim Beom-geun!

HE HITS!

-Kim Beom-geun!
-Kim Beom-geun!

He pops it up!

-It's going.
-This is it.

I think he's going to tag up.

Okay. Stop. It's flying.

He makes the catch.
Runner on third is tagging up!

Please, to third!

-Stop!
-Why is the ball curving so much?

Third baserunner comes home safely!

Ryu Hyun-in's sacrifice fly.

An RBI for Ryu Hyun-in.

That's how you play baseball.

Come here!

Hyun-in, nice job!

-Good swing. Great job.
-Okay.

We're you going to look
at the first pitch?

-I was only aiming for the sweet spot.
-Great job.

The score is three to zero.

Monsters manage to score another run.

One out with runners on first and second.

Next up is Park Yong-taek.

You know how Park Yong-taek
has many nicknames.

-That's right.
-One of them is called "Ad Taek."

He's the one that started the ads today.

-When he comes out, ads start.
-Are you saying

there's going to be a double play
on one out?

We don't want Ad Taek though.
We want Hit Machine Taek now.

You're wishing him to swing
into a double play.

-What do we do with you?
-Let's see.

That's not what I was saying.

When Park Yong-taek came
into the box on two outs,

the inning always ended with him.

Let's continue this!

It's about time you hit one!

One out with runners on first and second.
Let's see how Captain will do.

Swing and miss.

SWING AND MISS, STRIKE

HE GRITS HIS TEETH

Darn it. What's with my swings?

HE'S FRUSTRATED TOO

His BA is currently
the lowest on his team.

That's right. It came down a lot.

Open your eyes widely!

WILL HE BE ABLE TO OVERCOME
HIS ENDLESS MISSES

A low pitch. Another swing and miss.

STRIKE

HE'S FRUSTRATED

I can't get the feel of the ball.

When I missed the second ball,

I already hit the roof.

I wanted to prove myself there.

It's seriously about time.

Let's hit one.

Kim Moon-h* is on second,
and Jeong Keun-woo is on first.

And with one out,

how will he do in this situation?

He needs to make it happen.

AS A CAPTAIN, I MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN!

He makes contact!
It flies over to the right field.

-It's here.
-This is it.

-It's not a home run.
-It's out.

-It's here.
-This is it.

PLEASE!

IS THIS

A HOME RUN?

THREE-RUN HOMER
IT'S OUT OF HERE!

He makes contact!

It flies over to the right field.
To the fence!

It goes over!

IT GOES OVER THE WALL!

Park Yong-taek!

HOME RUN!

A THREE-RUN HOMER!

Wow, what was that?

I knew it!

Park Yong-taek returns as Home Run Taek!

A three-run homer!

STARTING TODAY,
I'M HOME RUN TAEK

HE'S BITTER

A home run hitter, Park Yong-taek!

He shows us his second home run
on A Clean Sweep today!

HIS SECOND HOME RUN ON THE SHOW

The Monsters are trying to set the game
with this home run!

-You all right?
-Yes.

A great defensive play

-and a home run.
-Goodness.

Park Yong-taek is a perfect captain.

Great job, Captain.

-Gosh!
-Nice!

BUGIL 0 : 6 MONSTERS

WHY DID YOU APPEAR BEFORE MY EYES,
HOME RUN TAEK?

Good swing.
There was no need to swing hard.

Gosh, this is exhausting!

HOME RUN CELEBRATION

-I knew you could do it.
-Nice.

Someone pointed fingers
saying he's Ad Taek.

But someone else next to him
trusted Park Yong-taek.

The score is six to zero.

STOPS HIM FROM TALKING

Gosh, baseball is such a difficult sport.

-You did well.
-Baseball is difficult.

There's no need to swing hard.

LEE SEUNG-YUOP, TOTAL 626 HOME RUNS

For this one, you slightly hit it
on the sweet spot.

That's how you do it.

And look,
he's not satisfied with a home run.

Gosh, so difficult.

Look at him. He wants more.

Beom-geun, it's fine. Just keep going.

Kim Beom-geun is a great pitcher.

Indeed. But he sometimes
throws a bad pitch.

And hitters from the Monsters
didn't miss that chance.

Let's go! You can do this!

-Come on!
-You got this.

The third hitter, Jeong Seong-hoon,
is up next.

He gets struck out by a breaking ball.

WHY IS HE PITCHING SO WELL
ALL OF A SUDDEN?

Look at that breaking ball.

It's fascinating.

Now that he's relaxed

and free of pressure, he's pitching well.

And he took care of Jeong Seong-hoon.

Now he's up against Lee Taek-keun.

Swing and a miss! Strikeout.

TWO STRIKEOUTS

But the score is six to zero.

CK Monsters are in the lead
by a lot this game.

THE SCORE IS STILL
A SIX-POINT DIFFERENCE

The top of the sixth will begin
with Bugil on offense.

Hong-ku.

Well done. Let's switch.

-Good work.
-It's nothing.

If you compare yourself to the last game,

you did so well today.
It's about changing how you think.

-Okay.
-Good work today.

(OFFERS A FIST BUMP)

-Let's go.
-Yes, sir.

Sir, our catcher is Yoon Jun-h* now.

YOON JUN-h* RETURNS AFTER TWO MONTHS

ACCURATE

Nice pitch, sir.

-We got this!
-Let's go.

-We can do this.
-Yes!

FIRST HITTER KIM JONG-U

Now, it's Bugil's turn to hit.

They're leading off with Kim Jong-u.

Bugil has a good lineup.

So they have to make something happen
starting from now.

Swing for a sure hit.

-Come on!
-Let's go!

Give it your best.

LET'S GET ON A BASE

You have to pitch him out!

Song Seung-jun

-might change his pitching.
-Right.

Because Jun-h* is the catcher now.

Look at Seung-jun.
He's going to pitch relentlessly now.

That's right.

-Strike!
-Ball went outside.

NICE PITCH!

-Great.
-Eleven.

-Strike!
-It's in the zone.

Nice pitch!

Seung-jun makes pitching look so easy.

He pitches so easily and lightly.

And the ball drops.

The count favors Seung-jun.

A FAVORABLE COUNT WITH 2 STRIKES

You can do this!

Son Seung-jun!

HE HITS!

Skips off the bat.

-Left center.
-It's mine.

Left and center fielder.
Left fielder makes the catch.

1 OUT

He makes it look so easy.

You made it look easy too.

Really?

-Was I being self-conscious?
-Yes, you were.

Seung-jun is like a nuclear weapon.

Kim Ji-hwan is up against Song Seung-jun.

He needs to make a hit

for Bugil to take a chance
that'll turn the game around.

Let's go!

HE HITS!

He makes a hit near the center fielder.

A good hit.

Ji-hwan makes the second hit of the team.

-Nice one!
-Good job!

They need more hits like this

to make a chance
that will turn the game around.

One out! Take it slow!

Next up is the third batter, Kim Chae-un.

THIRD BATTER KIM CHAE-UN

In his previous appearances,
he hit two fly ba*ls

and was taken out.

SIGNALS THEIR PLAN

SNEAKING OUT

Jun-h*! He likes to steal!

He can't steal thanks to Jun-h*.

I feel much more confident
now that Jun-h* is back.

I FEEL MUCH MORE CONFIDENT

HE GOES FOR THE STEAL

Hits the third pitch.

Hits the third pitch. Ground ball.

Shortstop fields it.

Throws on the run. To first base.

Throws on the run. To first base.

Safe on first base!

It's safe?

-Oh, well.
-That should've been out.

SO CLOSE

But Ryu Hyun-in
fielded the ball beautifully!

Ryu Hyun-in's threw on the run.

It would've been a clean hit
if it wasn't for him.

Anyway, Bugil made a chance
with an amazing hit.

This infield hit

may result in a crisis for the battery.

-That's right.
-Timeout.

You feeling okay? You threw 35 pitches.

You can wrap up the inning.

I was going to switch you out
after 40 pitches.

But there are runners,
so you can pitch a bit more.

Let's go for two more outs. Cheer up.

One out at a time.

We're six points ahead, so take it slow.

One out with two hits.

Bugil, who only made a single hit
until the fifth,

starts to come back.

The game continues with Moon Hyeon-bin
the fourth hitter.

Let's do this.

-You can do this!
-Let's go!

Let's go, Captain!

Let's get on a base.

The best home run hitter
in amateur baseball,

Bugil Academy's pride, Moon Hyeon-bin.

Will he be able to grab this chance?

FIRST PITCH, FOUL

First ball is a foul.

SO CLOSE

He cannot allow any outfield flies.

-It can result in a run.
-That's right.

-What the Monsters want is a double play.
-Yes.

Let's go for a double play!

DOUBLE PLAY, LET'S GO!

HE HITS!

A ground ball.

A DOUBLE-PLAY BALL

Shortstop fields it,
steps on second, and to first base!

Ryu Hyun-in makes a double play!

NICE DOUBLE PLAY!

-Well played, Hyun-in.
-Nice catch.

HYUN-IN DID HIS THING AGAIN!

Thanks to Ryu Hyun-in's assist

and Seung-jun,
they manage to shut out this inning.

-Nice, Song Sam-bong!
-Nice pitch!

Good!

Nice work.

-Well done, Seung-jun.
-Yes, sir.

-You okay? Where are you in pain?
-What?

I pitched a bit quickly,

so my shoulder muscles cramped a bit.

-Bring it down quickly.
-Yes, sir.

-Let's go.
-Bring it down.

-You have to pitch in three days.
-Yes, sir.

-Won-sam is next?
-Yes, he is.

The defense is helping out a lot today.

This is the bottom of the sixth,
the Monsters on offense.

Currently, the score is six to nothing,
and it's the sixth.

First up is the sixth hitter,
Seo Dong-wook.

From where Bugil stands…

We said that Bugil
is the Kingdom of Pitchers.

But they have allowed so many contacts
against the Monsters.

CK Monsters want to keep pushing ahead.

-That's right.
-What is their purpose?

-It can turn into a called game.
-That's right.

They're experts in creating big innings.

Yes, they're experts. That's right.

ONLY 4 POINTS UNTIL A CALLED GAME

Let's go.

The first pitch is important.

FIRST PITCH, BALL

2ND PITCH, BALL

THE 3RD STREAK, BALL

If they let him out with four ba*ls,

then Monsters can capture this big inning.

Yes.

Kim Beom-geun must stay calm on the mound
and throw a strike

to hold him back.

-You're right.
-Go!

The ball flies high. Four ba*ls.

-Nice!
-Nice one!

NICE OBSERVATION!

Seo Dong-wook walks out to the first base.

First batter, four ba*ls.

Batter seven, Yoon Jun-h* is switched in.

He returns to the batter's box
after 60 days.

In order to create a big inning,
Yoon Jun-h* must make a valid hit.

Jun-h*, make a full swing.

-Don't hit it lightly.
-Okay.

Go out. Hit it and go out!

STRUCK OUT IN FULL SWING

He returns to the mound
but gets struck out.

One out.

DISAPPOINTED

-Was it a changeup?
-Yes.

Kim Beom-geun just threw
something he didn't show,

a changeup.

-It's a changeup.
-Yes.

That was a changeup.

He should use this quickly and more often.

It drops so smoothly.

One out, a runner at first.

Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

Choi Soo-hyun recorded multi-hits today.

HE HIT THE FIRST SINGLE
AFTER HE JOINED THE MONSTERS

AND A SMOOTH DOUBLE
THAT WENT OVER THE 2ND BASEMAN

What about his third time at bat?

It's important to make a hit right now.

IT'S A HIT AGAIN!

-Hey.
-It's a hit. Left center.

It drops smoothly.

THAT'S CRAZY

The first runner passes the second.

DONG-WOOK PASSES THE 2ND

Keep running!

Choi Soo-hyun heads for the second.

(ROLLING)

He passes the third

and returns home.

Go to the third!

He keeps running. He runs to third base.

Stop him!

-Three!
-Go to the third!

The runner reaches the third.

He makes another timely hit!

NICE, SOO-HYUN!

Choi Soo-hyun hits a triple.

The score is seven to zero.

Choi Soo-hyun is amazing.

He hit a single first.

The second time, a double.

The third time, he just hit a triple.

Wait.

One home run, it's a cycle hit.

-Right?
-Yes, a single, a double, and a triple.

He should hit it.

It's a cycle hit with a home run.

Yes, a single, a double, and a triple.

HUFFING

Kim Moon-h* is next at bat.

BATTER 9, KIM MOON-h*

Moon-h*!

Moon-h*, let's hit it.

Infield. Infield defense.

Infield, come in.

WE WON'T LOSE ANY MORE POINTS!

And now, the infielders have
walked up forward on defense.

One out, a runner at third.

1 OUT, A RUNNER AT 3RD

Goodness. Don't do that on purpose.

I'm scared.

He was hit before,

so he has no choice but to cower.

He must hit the ball
and get rid of this fear

while he's at bat now.

IT'S A HIT!

-Yes!
-That's it.

-Good.
-Go.

It's a hit. The ball flies up high.

The right fielder runs back.

He catches.

The runner at third tags up.

Choi Soo-hyun returns home.

A sacrifice fly by Kim Moon-h*.

That's one more point, eight to zero.

BITING ON LIPS

Eight points.

Ten to zero is a called game.

They're so good.

EVERYONE IS SO GOOD…

Bugil Academy came prepared

for this game,

but it's not easy to beat the batters.

No.

One more out to go.

-Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
-Go!

He's fighting against the pressure
that he cannot lose

-a single point.
-That's right.

PLEASE

-Let's go, Beom-geun!
-Let's go.

IT'S A HIT!

It's hit with the tip.

The shortstop catches.

He goes out from the first base.

Three outs.

But Choi Soo-hyun hit a timely triple,

then returned home too.

Monsters increase the gap by eight points.

Let's score one.

-Yes.
-Let's go.

-Let's go!
-Hey!

We can do this.

Let's go. It's not over.

The top of the seventh inning.
Bugil Academy's batting.

Just stop this inning.

(PLEASE)

His arm must be better.

Manager Lee Seung-yuop sends out
Jang Won-sam.

Yes, he did well
as the starting pitcher last time.

HOW WILL HE DO TODAY?

He's here.

Show them the class of 121 victories.

HALF-HOPEFUL

HALF-WORRIED

Lee Seung-hyeon is the first.

FIRST PITCH, STRIKE

-Strike.
-First pitch, a strike outside.

Hey, nice.

-What just happened?
-He's back.

He's doing better than Soo-chang.

After the first pitch,
everyone is like, "What happened?"

-All right.
-Let's go. Won-sam is back.

Okay, let's do this!

STRIKE

JANG WON-SAM IS INSANE

That ball pierced on the outside.

Won-sam's pitch is straight.

His pitch is insane. He's crazy today.

Jang Won-sam's pitches are great.

The count is two strikes. Jang Won-sam.

He'll hit this one.

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit.

Please.

The right fielder's smooth catch.

1 OUT

We're getting owned.

Jang Won-sam strikes out the first batter.

-Am I doing okay?
-Yes.

(SMILES)

He got better.

He can really play in the fall.

Jang Won-sam rehabilitated nicely

and his pitches became much better.

If even Jang Won-sam can throw
such tough pitches,

it'll make our pitchers frightening.

SLIDES IN

Toward the torso.

He pushes it out. A foul.

WON-SAM SHOWS PERFECT BALL CONTROL

Hey, nice control.

IT'S NEAR HIS TORSO AGAIN!

A pitch near his torso.

He's back.

The man with 122 victories.

Jang Won-sam makes use

of deep, accurate pitches.

He'll now go outside.
A fastball on the outside.

WHAT KIND OF A PITCH
WILL THIS BATTERY THROW?

Yoon Jun-h* sits outside.

IT'S A HIT!

-Good.
-Go.

-Take your time.
-The third baseman catches.

Choi Soo-hyun to the first.

He's out at the first base.

Two outs.

Good job.

Jang Won-sam's pitches made them hit

a fly ball and a grounder
and create out counts.

He's not so bad today.

-He'll do something huge sometime.
-Exactly.

MANAGER LEE SANG-KUN IS FRUSTRATED

Manager Lee Sang-kun

must have prepared a lot,
but it's not going well.

-I bet he didn't expect this.
-No.

Won-sam, you're doing perfectly.

Batter seven, Lee Jin-yong.

First pitch, high on the outside.

Come on.

This isn't right.

His four-seams are good,

but the slider won't go in
as sharply as he expected.

It's still on the outside.
It didn't come in.

HE'S UNABLE TO CONTROL
BREAKING ba*ls

HMM…

THE BALL COUNT IS AGAINST HIM

BALL

The runner goes out
after two outs with four ba*ls.

He let him go out
at a disadvantageous count.

Two outs, a runner at first.

2 OUTS, A RUNNER AT 1ST

Kim Yun-u is at bat.

It's a hit.

THE BALL FLIES
BEYOND THE LEFT FIELDER

It flies to the outfield.

IS IT A HOME RUN?

Hey.

It flies to the outfield.
Left fielder, Park Yong-taek.

He catches the dropping ball.

-Good.
-Three outs.

THAT SURPRISED ME…

Zero points lost.

CK Monsters still hasn't allowed

Bugil Academy to score a single point.

Won-sam, you're back.

WON-SAM DIDN'T LOSE A POINT

Man, you're back.

Was that okay?

It doesn't hurt so much today.

-Nice ball!
-Nice job!

-You came back.
-You're back.

-It doesn't hurt as much.
-Good.

Are you fully rehabilitated?

I feel all right today.

Take good care of yourself at this point.

-We're playing in three days.
-Okay.

I earned my keep today.

As if your arm is an infant.

-Throw it like this.
-Like this.

THE TWO CYBER PITCHERS ARE
GETTING CHEEKY AGAIN

The end of the seventh inning,
CK Monsters are batting.

-Are your ankles okay?
-Yes.

-Did you tape it?
-Yes.

When it hurts, give me a sign.

Okay.

He must be that guy. Choi Jun-h*.

Jun-h*, let's go. Jun-h*!

Good!

ACE PITCHER, CHOI JUN-h*

The ace is here.

-Is he the ace pitcher?
-He is.

His average earned run is less than one.

And there's what we call WHIP,

walks plus hits per inning pitched.

How many batters walk out in one inning?

His record is 0,48.

Easily put,

he lets about one or zero batters go out
in every two innings.

Now at bat is Ryu Hyun-in.

HYUN-IN IS IN THE BOX

RYU HYUN-IN'S BATTING AVERAGE,
1ST ON THE TEAM, 0,400

If you hit this one, you're the real deal.

Hey.

He hits the first pitch.

To the right. It's a foul.

IT'S A GOOD HIT, BUT A FOUL

Get it over.

Once CK Monsters win two points,

-today's game ends.
-Here we go.

He hits right away.

His pitches are over 140km/h.

He shouldn't throw to the center,
but he does out of confidence.

Choi Jun-h* is confident,
and he's at an advantageous count.

But Ryu Hyun-in is

-an amazing batter of Monsters.
-Of course.

Yes, this battle worth noting.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO THE BATTLE OF ACES?

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit. Left center.

-Left fielder, center fielder.
-Go.

The left fielder catches. Out.

Nice job. Good one, Jun-h*.

Good job!

The ace pitcher, Choi Jun-h* is up,

and he gets his first out.

CHOI JUN-h* STRUCK OUT
THE ACE BATTER

THE NEXT AT BAT

Next up is an MVP candidate

as you mentioned, Park Yong-taek.

A POTENTIAL MVP, CAPTAIN YONG-TAEK

Let's hit a home run, Captain Park.

He made a great defense,
then even hit a home run.

-Yes.
-Right?

If he hits another one now…

IT'S A HIT!

He hits the first pitch.

-To the first base. It hits and bounces.
-He misses.

Park Yong-taek reaches the first base.

HE SAFELY LANDS ON THE 1ST BASE

NICE, CAPTAIN

Yong-taek got lucky.

KIM JIN-SEO LOST THE FASTBALL

The ball was fast, then it bounced.

It bounced off the glove.

This was a mistake.

Yes, his mistake lets him walk out.

We can't let them score two.

But Monsters sent out

a runner who can bring them a called game.

ONLY 2 POINTS TO GO

It was a single.

Let's do two home runs.

One out, runner at first.
Batter four, Jeong Seong-hoon.

Let's end this.

Manager Lee Seung-yuop

brought change for the first time
in the fourth batter.

On top of that, one home run will
turn this into a called game.

STRIKE

He makes a full swing.

Why is the timing so fast?

As you said, he hit that for the fence.

You're about to show what you got.

It's a big hit.

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit.
It flies beyond the third base.

-Jeong Seong-hoon's single.
-Nice.

Once Park Yong-taek
and Jeong Seong-hoon returns,

the game can end then.

NICE

That was a grounder. Lucky.

And it's now Lee Taek-keun.

This batting is important.

He has hit a single
in every single game until now.

But he's about to lose his streak

by hitting nothing
after coming out three times.

1 OUT, RUNNERS AT 1ST, 2ND

Lee Taek-keun has hit a single
in every game.

Will he keep this streak going?

WILL HE KEEP HIS RECORD?

He'll hit the first pitch.

Let's go! Stop him!

-Here he comes.
-Okay.

It's a big one.

IT'S A HIT!

Lee Taek-keun hits!

-He got it!
-It flies to the left.

It's going high and far.

IS IT A HOME RUN?

It's going high and far.

It hits the fence.

YONG-TAEK RETURNS HOME

SEONG-HOON GOT TO THE 3RD BASE

Run quickly!

Go!

He's in.

Park Yong-taek returns home
from the second base.

BUGIL 0 : 9 MONSTERS

Go now. Let's end the game.

Lee Taek-keun continues to make a hit
in every single game.

CONSECUTIVE HITS THROUGHOUT 9 GAMES

-Nine games.
-It's a hit?

Consecutive hits!

ONLY 1 MORE POINT TO GO

One point, it's over?

YES! IT'S OVER

I'm about to lose my mind.

I didn't expect to see ten to zero.

We have to stop them.
Let's bat one more time.

One more point, and it ends.

Who is it? Who's batting next?

Over there.

Okay. Let him go back.

Next batter.

(DONG-WOOK)

(FOUR ba*ls)

Intentional base on ba*ls.

He's going with an intentional walk.

-I see.
-A full base.

Seo Dong-wook was at bat,
but it was an intentional walk.

The first base is open,

so he'll let him walk out
and continue to play.

Manager Lee Sang-kun is the most concerned

about Seo Dong-wook.

Jun-h*! Hey, Jun-h*.

-Let's go. Let's end this.
-End it.

This kills your pride, Jun-h*.

-Hit the first pitch high.
-End it, Yoon Jun-h*.

Don't joke around.

Right now, Yoon Jun-h* walks to the box

at one out, a full base.

In the midst of such pressure,

I was reminded of the last called game

against Duksoo High.

JUN-h* BROUGHT THE CALLED VICTORY
WITH HIS FINAL HIT

I'm suddenly reminded of last time.

-Yoon made the final hit for ten points.
-Yes.

Yoon Jun-h* returns today
after 60 days, around 2 months.

Will he end this game?

Be aggressive!

One out, bases are loaded.

Seong-hoon at third, Taek-keun
at second, and Dong-wook at first.

-The outfielders should come up.
-Yes.

The outfielders need to come up
to get ready for the first pitch.

Pull up.

-Jun-seo, throw back home first.
-Okay.

Let's go!

WE CAN'T LOSE THROUGH A CALLED GAME

Stop him.

-Okay.
-First pitch, a ball outside.

-Okay.
-Jun-h*!

A called game.

Jun-h*, swing confidently.

Go out!

Get it up. Come on out.

He needs to throw
his most confident pitch.

WILL HE STOP HIM?

One out, bases are loaded.

WILL HE END THIS GAME?

HOW WILL THIS GAME END?

One out, bases are loaded.

IT'S A HIT!

Go!

One out, bases are loaded.

He hit it!

-Second base!
-It rolls out through the center.

THAT'S CRAZY, JUN-h*

Yoon Jun-h* ends the game once again!

DISAPPOINTED…

The score is ten to zero.

BUGIL 0 : 10 MONSTERS

Monsters did not lose a single point.

They begin another winning streak.

HE RETURNS WITH A SPLENDID HIT

Yoon Jun-h* returns with a hit
and ends the game.

In the end, CK Monsters takes

a called victory.

THE MONSTERS ARE CELEBRATING

-Hey!
-Good.

Hey, man. Good one.

-Good game.
-Good game.

-Good game today.
-Thank you.

-Good game.
-Good job.

There's this saying.
"An iron hand in a velvet glove."

We may smile, but we're strong inside.

We'll prepare thoroughly with everything
for the second round

to play them the third time.

BASEBALL… YOU NEVER KNOW
A QUOTE BY HA IL-SUNG

MAJESTIC

Won-sam is walking with confidence.

Go up already.

-Go now.
-I'm looking for my seat.

-You take the first choice.
-No.

Baseball is fun when we win.
Congrats on the called victory.

Thank you!

CLAPPING FOR THEMSELVES

ALL RIGHT

We should have team dinners more often.

This is nice.

Manager Lee, leave us a word.

Not only did the batters hit ten points,

but the pitchers also ended the game
without losing a point.

It was a very smooth game.

I'm grateful for the players
who did their best.

A PERFECT HARMONY
BETWEEN PITCHERS AND BATTERS

Now let me announce the MVP.

-That's fast.
-It's hard to tell today.

Everyone knew they were MVP candidates.

Choi Soo-hyun versus Park Yong-taek.

CHOI SOO-HYUN VS PARK YONG-TAEK

-Soo-hyun was more impressive.
-Tell us.

Touch this now. Touch it.

You can win this. Touch it.

COME, THE ENERGY OF MVP…

Now, the first round
against Bugil Academy. The MVP is…

WILL IT BE CHOI SOO-HYUN
WITH 3 HITS IN 3 AT-BATS?

OR PARK YONG-TAEK WITH 2 HITS,
1 HOME RUN IN 4 AT-BATS?

With three hits in three at-bats!

With three hits in three at-bats!

With three hits in three at-bats!

Choi Soo-hyun versus…

HURRIES

-Choi Soo-hyun versus…
-Goodness.

-You're doing good.
-Hear him out.

And two hits and four at-bats,
Park Yong-taek.

It's one of the two.

SUCH A CLOSE BATTLE

The MVP is…

They must be nervous.

They must be so nervous.

MAXIMAL NERVOUSNESS

The man who put on great defense,
Park Yong-taek!

THE CAPTAIN DID IT!

-Park Yong-taek!
-Park Yong-taek!

-Park Yong-taek!
-Park Yong-taek!

-Is he going to cry again?
-Will he cry again?

THE CAPTAIN HAS
ALL KINDS OF FEELINGS

AND HIS TEAMMATES WATCH HIM

Don't cry. It's embarrassing.

-I'm sorry, but go back.
-Really?

The manager has to take it first.

Is that so?

I was going to go out,
but I sat back down.

DUMBFOUNDED

-He had to hear him out first.
-My gosh.

He loves to be on TV alone.

OUR CAPTAIN IS ALWAYS EMBARRASSING…

I went out, but he was out there.

I didn't know. I never won it before.

-It's his first time.
-Yes.

He gets two dolls?

-Thank you.
-The doll is cute.

I want the doll.

Congratulations.

HE FINALLY GETS
THE WINNER'S NECKLACE

You can put this right here.

Thank you.

CONGRATS

-Thank you.
-Great job.

Thank you.

Eui-yoon had a backache,

so I had no choice but to be on defense.

I think I showed
great performance on defense.

I'm glad Manager Lee
took favor in that too.

And actually, while I was batting,
I was personally disappointed in myself.

But my teammates made everything go well,

and I only added the finishing touch.

I'll do my best next time
to become the MVP once again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't cry.

Now, our next game is
the second match against Bugil Academy.

We'll play at Suwon KT Wiz Park.

Manager Lee, do you have a resolution
before the game?

First off, I'm very glad

that our jinx on team dinner is gone.

I trust that the production crew will
put together another team dinner.

We won by ten to zero today,

so I want to end the battle
against Bugil Academy quickly

after the game on Friday.

And I want to meet the next team.

Let's all cheer together and wrap up.

-Goodness.
-Oh, my.

-My gosh.
-Oh, goodness.

EVERYONE IS IN PAIN

Rest well for three days.

Good luck on Friday.

-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!

Look at his face.

MONSTERS IS STILL THE BEST

9 GAMES 7 WINS 2 LOSSES

BUGIL ACADEMY RETURNS
WITH HIGH SPIRITS AFTER THEIR LOSS

Bugil Academy is batting first.

It's a hit down the center.

It goes over the center fielder.

To the second and the third base.

The third. The ball flies to the third.

SAFE!

He's fooled by the dropping ball.
Strikeout.

STRIKEOUT LOOKING

CONSECUTIVE STRIKEOUTS

He strikes them out in a row.

HE PITCHES HARD TO GET REVENGE

Rhee Dae-eun seems completely different.

SWING AND MISS

FASTBALL

Nice!

It's a hit.

Right center. The center fielder follows.

The center fielder catches.
