Strikeout looking.

He drops the ball!

THE HOLE IN THE DEFENSE IS INCREASING

HONG-KU IS UNABLE TO THROW THE BALL

Third base!

HONG-KU'S UNEXPECTED YIPS

What the hell are you doing?

THE MOMENTUM HAS GONE OVER
TO CHOONGAM COMPLETELY

WE SHOULD MAKE IT A CALLED GAME

SOO-CHANG PITCHES
IN THE MOMENT OF CRISIS



HE MISSED!

MONSTERS 4 : 13 CHOONGAM

MONSTERS 4 : 14 CHOONGAM

IT'S A CALLED GAME
AND CK MONSTERS LOSE

I FEEL LIKE A SINNER

IN THE END, I LET MY TEAM DOWN

CK MONSTERS GEAR UP AGAIN

FOR THEIR NEXT GAME

WE HAVE TO WIN NO MATTER WHAT

We lost by a called game.

WE'LL PAY THEM BACK
WITH A CALLED GAME

Yesterday, they lost
by a shocking called game.

THE FINAL 3RD MATCH

ACE YOO HEE-KWAN PITCHES

-Okay.
-Hey.

Jeez.

CHOONGAM IS STRONGER
THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY

It's a hit to the right.
Seo Dong-wook goes back.

He couldn't catch it!

THE GAME IS HEADED FOR THE WORST

WE'RE THE BEST

That defense was like grade school.

FURIOUS ACE

FASTBALL

SWINGS AND MISSES

Choongam is leading the game again today.

Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.

He hits. It's center-left.

CHOONGAM'S MOMENTUM KEEPS GOING

ACE HEE-KWAN IS FALTERING

WILL THE MONSTERS
BE ABLE TO BEAT CHOONGAM?

From CK Monsters' perspective,

their problem is
that it's the fourth inning with one out,

but Hee-kwan allowed four runs.

Out of those four, three were long hits.

They were long hits, yes.

One out, a runner on second base.

1 OUT, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

The fifth batter Park Chae-ul is at bat.

It looks like Chae-ul will hit.

Park Chae-ul is at bat.

IF IT'S A HIT, THEY'LL SCORE AGAIN

He hits the first pitch.

It's a sharp hit.
It goes center-left again.

-It cuts across center-left.
-It's formidable.

Look at him swing.

THE 2ND BASERUNNER SPRINTS

Run!

HE TOUCHES 3RD BASE
AND REACHES HOME!

The second baserunner touches third base
and reaches home.

The score is two to zero.

Choongam's main hitter
scores another point.

Batter five Park Chae-ul
hits an RBI single.

Keep going!

THAT'S CHAE-UL

The trusted starting pitcher
Yoo Hee-kwan is starting to falter.

The score is two to zero.

Timeout.

THE MONSTERS CALL FOR A TIMEOUT

MANAGER LEE: TIMEOUT!

MANAGER LEE VISITS THE MOUND

Hee-kwan has great control,

so they can hit his pitch.
They keep hitting.

CHOONGAM STARTED
TO HIT HEE-KWAN'S PITCH

Even if they use tricks,

the batters can't swing so aggressively.

Choongam players have changed so much

after two games.

-You're okay, right?
-Yes.

-Take it easy.
-Yes.

-I came here to give you a break.
-Yes.

-One out.
-Yes.

MANAGER LEE GIVES HIM TIME
TO TAKE A BREATHER

1 OUT, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

I let them score,

so my team was in a difficult situation.

I have a sense of duty
as the starting pitcher.

So I'll do my best to pitch.

Hee-kwan, it's okay!

-It's okay!
-He's not okay right now.

He's completely pissed off.

Kim Dong-heon and Park Chae-ul
doubled consecutively.

Batter six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.

The bottom of Choongam's lineup
is powerful.

Cho Hyeon-min just made a three-base hit.

Right, he showed his power.

So the outfielders of CK Monsters
can't move up

when the runner is in a scoring position.

-That's right.
-Because he's powerful.

CONTINUALLY ON THE VERGE OF LOSING POINTS

The first pitch goes in close to the body.

Good job!

HYEON-MIN CALMLY DISREGARDS THE BALL

Let's bring Chae-ul in!

GIVING SIGNS

Make a big score gap before I go up.

Yoo Hee-kwan allowed
five valid hits today.

I CAN'T LET THEM SCORE EXTRA POINTS

There are still two outs left this inning.

STILL 2 OUTS LEFT

HE HITS!

He hits.

He hits. The ball flies high.

OKAY!

Shortstop, third baseman,
and left fielder go after it.

-Half!
-Half!

-Wait.
-Half.

You have to get it. Catch it.

Left.

Shortstop, third baseman,
and left fielder go after it.

Shortstop catches it!

2 OUTS

-Nice.
-Ryu Hyun-in caught it.

Nice catch.

Hyun-in ran a long way to catch the ball.

2ND BASERUNNER IS STUCK

Good catch.

-Catch like that when it comes.
-Yes.

-Nice.
-What a great skill.

-He's good.
-That was good!

-He caught that?
-What?

IS HE HUMAN?

The direction was ambiguous.

So it was difficult for the left fielder
to make a decision to catch it.

Hyun-in played great defense

when the ball wasn't called for.

Good!

With the outfielders' help,
Hee-kwan increased the out count.

The seventh batter
Lee Chung-heon is at bat.

IT'S LEE CHUNG-HEON, WHO SCORED FIRST

HERE HE IS…

Lee Chung-heon is batter seven.

His batting average is .400.

He had four hits in ten at-bats
on A Clean Sweep.

He has three RBIs.

HE'S LIKE A MONSTER

-Two outs.
-Now it's two outs.

Let's go!

BALL

It was a far pitch.

You have good eyes. Very good.

I tried not to hit the low pitches.

I waited for my ball.

We'll get a chance if he stops him.

We just have to stop him.

HEE-KWAN, PLEASE…

The runner is still on second base,
and in a scoring position.

CK Monsters are two points behind.

Yoo Hee-kwan is pitching.

HE HITS!

-Third!
-He pulled!

Toward the third base! Fair ball!

Third!

FAIR BALL TOWARD 3RD BASE

Go!

RUN QUICKLY

NO…

RUNNING AT FULL SPEED

The second baserunner touches third base
and reaches home.

Jeez.

What the hell is he doing?

-What's he doing?
-While Eui-yoon drops the ball,

the runner heads to third base.

Lee Chung-heon makes another timely hit.

Chung-heon, nice!

-Good!
-Good job!

They hit well. What if they keep scoring?

CHOONGAM GOT THEM GOOD

-You feel the pressure, don't you?
-Get ready.

Tie your shoe laces tight.

Jeez, these kids are serious.

It was a fair ball.

The second baserunner scored.

Now it's three to zero.

The trusted ace Yoo Hee-kwan is faltering.

Two outs, runner on third base.
Kim Min-seok is at bat.

All right, it's okay.

You need to stop him.

ONLY ONE OUT LEFT
I NEED TO FINISH IT HERE

The ball flies high.

The ball flies high. Right fielder.

PLEASE

-Jeez.
-Okay!

He'll catch this one.

He catches it. The inning is over.

3 OUTS

But CK Monsters
let Choongam score two points.

Now Choongam is
three points ahead of them.

Let's go.

-Let's score.
-We can do it.

We'll score.

We can do it.

We'll get a chance.

Let's do it.

HIS ANGER FINALLY EXPLODES

Let's do it.

I was angry because I allowed many runs,

and because I wasn't happy with myself.

It feels like we just need one thing
to change the momentum.

Choongam's pitcher is strong.
He doesn't make any mistakes.

It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
CK Monsters are at bat.

Starting pitcher Lee Tae-yeon is
in his third year of high school.

Batter five Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

Why can't I hit it?

Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon
threw four strikeouts today.

He's confident.

He can throw a strike
with any type of pitch.

-He's a professional player.
-Yes.

I didn't even think about the changeup,
but he threw one.

What the hell is going on?

Jeez.

CK Monsters got two walks this inning.

Runners are on first and second bases.

Let's go!

The seventh batter
Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

Be confident, Dong-wook! Center-left!

-He hits.
-Go back!

-He hits. It flies high.
-Go back!

The left fielder moves and catches it.

Now it's two outs.

There's only one out left.

Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

He hits!

The ball flies high.
The center fielder goes back.

-He catches it.
-Okay.

Three outs.

-Good.
-Well done.

-Nice.
-Nice job.

-Tae-yeon, you did it. Two thumbs up.
-Yes, sir.

Everyone is doing well today,

so the pitcher is throwing well too.

Hitters should look at the balls carefully
and make opportunities.

Let's do it again.

LET'S DO THIS, CHOONGAM

THEY'RE STILL 3 POINTS BEHIND
CAN THEY CATCH UP?

It's the top of the fifth inning.

Choongam is at bat.

Hee-kwan has never had

such a hard time like this before.

-Never.
-No.

It's really difficult for Manager Lee
to play this game.

Hee-kwan, let's go!

-Okay.
-Hang in there.

Hang in there!

The ninth batter
Lee Seong-hyeon is at bat.

Every CK Monsters member
is watching Hee-kwan.

WILL THE ACE OVERCOME THE CRISIS?

HE HITS!

It flies high.

-It flies high.
-Right!

Right fielder moves.
Seo Dong-wook catches it.

Let's go.

1 OUT

Yoo Hee-kwan makes
a flyout against Seong-hyeon.

HEE-KWAN STARTS WITH AN OUT

The first batter Im Jun-ha is at bat.

Jun-ha, let's go.

COMPLETE TRUST

CHOONGAM 3 : 0 MONSTERS

-You got it.
-Hey.

Get on base!

Here it is.

-Okay.
-Why won't it work?

-Jeez.
-Okay!

It's rare for Hee-kwan
to make that kind of expression.

It's because the balance
of his curveball is off.

That never happened before.

HEE-KWAN'S SLOW CURVE
WAS PERFECTLY CONTROLLED

HEE-KWAN'S PRIMARY WEAPON,
THE PITCH THAT MADE HIM A LEGEND

None of his slow breaking balls
was a strike today.

It's another slow breaking ball.

I could see the ball.

If this doesn't work,
it means Hee-kwan is in bad condition.

Otherwise, it works every time.

HEE-KWAN LOOKS NERVOUS

If this continues…

Hee-kwan will pitch until the sixth,

and Ju-won will start in the seventh.
Tell him to warm up.

-Until sixth?
-Yes.

THE RELIEF PITCHER STARTS TO WARM UP

He hits.

He hits. It goes over the pitcher.

The hit makes the center fielders move up.

-Im Jun-ha makes two hits today as well.
-Nice batting.

NICE BATTING

STRESSED OUT

-He already made multiple hits.
-Good job!

JUN-HA MADE MULTI-HITS

Today's game isn't over yet.

We're in the middle of the game,

-but he already made a total of six hits.
-That is true.

It's not easy to hit
like Choongam players.

Yes.

Pinch hitter Park Seong-u is at bat
in place of Lee Seon-u.

THE 1ST BASERUNNER
PUTS PRESSURE ON HEE-KWAN

Hee-kwan is a pitcher
that tempts the hitters.

-That's right.
-But it's currently not working.

No, it's not.

He hits the slow breaking ball.

He hits the slow breaking ball.

A hit to the right side.

-He hit.
-Run!

-Run!
-A hit to the right side.

-Come on!
-He runs to third base.

Keep going!

I CAN'T LET YOU SCORE

That guy's just running.

-Run!
-Hurry!

Come on!

-He keeps going.
-He runs to third base.

He slides to third base.

He's fast.

He's relaxed in spite of everything.

-Seong-u.
-Park Seong-u!

Good job!

YOU'RE AMAZING, PARK SEONG-U

Seong-u, nice batting.

Pinch hitter Park Seong-u makes a hit.

HEE-KWAN ALLOWED 8 HITS

Choongam made eight hits
during Hee-kwan pitches.

Timeout. Pinch runner, please.

Seong-u.

They're replacing him with a pinch runner.

Pinch hitter Park Seong-u made a hit.
He's replaced with a pinch runner.

It means they're going to run.

Runners are on first and third.

So they'll fill the second
without double play.

Im Jun-ha may try

to steal a base.

Taek-keun may have to make a long throw

to the second base.

I wonder what that will be like.

Pinch runner Kim Nam-hyeon is in.

The third batter Woo Seung-won is at bat.

SHUSH! BACK

SUDDENLY THROWING THE BALL
TO 2ND BASE?

NO BASE!

NO BASE?

A MEANINGFUL LOOK

He's saying that the runner missed a base.

-He missed the base.
-He's out.

That means he skipped a base.

The first baserunner reached third base
without touching second base.

When the defense points it out
and the referee recognizes it, it's out.

They knew this.

MERELY 2 MINUTES AGO
WHEN PARK SEONG-U MADE A HIT

1ST BASERUNNER HEADS TO 3RD BASE

-Run!
-He didn't step on the base.

-He didn't step on the base.
-He didn't step on the base.

HE DIDN'T STEP ON THE BASE!

Gosh.

-He didn't step on the base.
-We'll tell after he goes in.

-Didn't he step on it?
-He didn't step on the second base.

He didn't step on the base.

We'll tell them afterward. Play ball.

Soo-chang, good thing
you had your eyes checked.

Good thing you saw the optometrist.

He didn't step on the base when he turned.

WHACK(?)

You stopped them from scoring a point.

A HIT THROUGH THE 5-6 HOLE!

It's a hit through the 5-6 hole.

The game gets played out like this.

FORTUNATELY, THEY DIDN'T LOSE A POINT

Pinch runner Kim Nam-hyeon stops
at second base.

And the third baserunner is gone.

TOO BAD THEY MISSED 1 POINT

He has no strength.

Hee-kwan, you're good.

Hee-kwan, it's okay.

GET YOURSELF TOGETHER

The crisis continues.

But for now, they didn't allow a run.

Runners are on first and second bases
after a hit.

2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES

The fourth batter Kim Dong-heon is at bat.

Will he hit the first pitch?

Outside.

Two outs.
Runners are on first and second bases.

Hee-kwan is faced with batter four.

He doesn't throw
toward the body before two strikes.

So I focused on the outside.

He can't control
slow breaking balls right now.

HE HAS FEWER PITCH OPTIONS

Yoo Hee-kwan.

Outside.

Outside. Three balls.

-Okay.
-It's coming.

It's a difficult match.

THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE TO THE HITTER

ANOTHER BALL WILL LEAD
TO LOADED BASES

It's another outside ball.

Four straight balls make the runner walk.

DONG-HEON IS AWARDED FIRST BASE

Two outs. The bases are full.

Hee-kwan threw four balls
for the first time in this game.

The fifth batter Park Chae-ul.

He made a timely hit previously.

The bases are full.

So the first pitch is really important.

Kim Nam-hyeon is on third base.
Woo Seung-won on second.

And Kim Dong-heon is on first base.

The fifth batter Park Chae-ul
is against Hee-kwan.

It's another crisis.

He hits. Second baseman.

He hits. Second baseman.

It bounced off Jeong Keun-woo.

THE BALL BOUNCED OFF
KEUN-WOO'S GLOVE!

It bounced off Jeong Keun-woo.

PANICKING

I can't believe it.

Another point.

Choongam makes the score four to zero.

AN UNBELIEVABLE MISTAKE BY KEUN-WOO

IT COULD'VE BEEN PREVENTED

This is bad.

CHOONGAM IS HAVING A PARTY

He hit it powerfully.

It was full of force.

Keun-woo tried to catch it.

But it bounced off at the last moment.

Yes.

The bases are still loaded.

2 OUTS, FULL BASES

They let them score another point.

Now it's four to zero.

Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.

Yoo Hee-kwan is in crisis.

-The crisis is being prolonged.
-Let's go.

Look here.

He hits the ball
that comes in close to the body.

Hey.

IS IT A HOME RUN?

Goodness.

He hits the ball that comes in
close to the body. It's high.

Seo Dong-wook waits for it.

He takes care of it. The inning is over.

Three outs.
Choongam got another point though.

They're four points apart.

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

-Good job.
-Good job.

THE PROLONGED CRISIS
AND THE ACE'S SLUMP

-Okay!
-Good job.

-Hee-kwan.
-Yes?

Let's call it a day.

We have another game in five days.

This will be it for today.

We don't know
what will happen after five days.

-Good job.
-Well done.

GOOD JOB…

I was angry.

I was the starting pitcher
at an important game.

I was in constant crisis
and I kept letting them score.

I couldn't help my team,
so I was disappointed in myself.

Hee-kwan was the starting pitcher.

But we're four points behind.

Will we be able to score this inning?

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

BOTTOM OF THE 5TH INNING
CHOONGAM 4 : 0 MONSTERS

Ryu Hyun-in
will be at bat first this inning.

Let's go Hyun-in. The same thing!

Get on base!

You must be feeling burdened.

Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon threw
four strikeouts today.

Do you know what Tae-yeon is like?

He can throw a strike using any pitch.

Ryu Hyun-in made a hit previously.

-He hits the first pitch.
-Good job.

A HIT?

Go.

A HIT? NO!

No.

-He hits the first pitch.
-Good job.

-It's a center-left hit.
-Go!

-Hurry!
-Two!

The center fielder catches it.
Will Hyun-in reach second base?

THE CENTER FIELDER CATCHES IT
AND THROWS IT TO 2ND BASE

SAFE?

-Go!
-Run!

Will Hyun-in reach second base?

-He throws it to second base.
-Okay.

He reaches second base.

The first batter Hyun-in
makes a two-base hit.

TAE-YEON LET THE LEAD-OFF MAN
GET ON BASE

Let's go.

NICE, HYUN-IN

Good job, Hyun-in!

NICE, HYUN-IN

The previous inning was tough
for the Monsters.

So someone has to be an energizer at bat.

It was the Monsters' first long hit
of the day.

The first batter Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

Here's our chance.

-Keun-woo, come on!
-We can catch up.

They're having a hard time
getting on base.

So he has to do this for the team.

IT'S A PERFECT CHANCE

Keun-woo is the one who can make a change.

Can he change the flow?

FOUL

He made contact.

Be confident. It's okay.

CHOONGAM 4 : 0 MONSTERS

Starter Lee Tae-yeon is in the third year
of high school.

He pushes!
It goes center-right. Center fielder.

THE BALL FLIES OUT PERFECTLY

-Hey!
-He did it!

NO…

He pushes!
It goes center-right. Center fielder.

Center fielder dives to catch it!

Just like that, it's an out.

HYUN-IN IMMEDIATELY TAGS UP

-Go.
-Meanwhile,

Hyun-in reaches third base.

1 OUT

HE RIPPED IT!

-Im Jun-ha!
-Nice!

NO WAY…

Im Jun-ha makes up for his mistake.

After this series, Choongam's outfielders

can play for any professional team.

They have all the great players.

It's a hit.

-It's actually a hit.
-Perfect judgment.

Fearless.

It was a bold catch.

One out, a runner on third base.

1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 3RD BASE

The second batter Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

CHOI SOO-HYUN HAS A CHANCE TO SCORE

WITH ONE HIT, HE'LL REACH HOME

Soo-hyun plays for a baseball club,
and he is the team's top batter.

He has to do it.

HYUN-IN TAKES A BIG LEAD

CHECKING THE RUNNER!

-Third base.
-Good!

He just pretended to throw the ball.

Hyun-in has great moves on third base.

If it's a ground ball,
he'll go to home base.

That's why he's taking a big lead.

-That's right.
-Yes.

HE KEEPS TAKING A BIG LEAD

-It bounced.
-Stop.

-It bounced.
-Stop.

He won't come in this time.

TAE-YEON LOST FOCUS
BECAUSE OF HYUN-IN

No more strikes.

MANAGER LEE PROVOKES BALLS

Will the Monsters score this inning?

It's a high pitch.

3 BALLS

Lee Tae-yeon starts to falter.
It's three balls.

One out. A runner on third base.

The Monsters still haven't scored yet.

-Okay.
-A high pitch.

Four balls straight.

-Okay.
-All right.

He's done. He can't do it.

NICE GETTING ON BASE!

TAE-YEON BEGINS TO FALTER

Let's change after one hitter.

Get Geon-u ready.

Sadly, Keun-woo is out.

But Soo-hyun walks after four balls.

Runners of CK Monsters are
on first and third bases.

The score of the Monsters
is still zero on the board.

Will they be able to change the number?

Third hitter Captain Taek is at bat.

THE CAPTAIN PULLED
THE OUTFIELDERS IN ARBITRARILY

SINCE THEN, THERE WERE LONG HITS

AND MISTAKES

IN THE END, CHOONGAM SCORED FIRST!

THE MOMENTUM WAS LOST
BECAUSE OF CAPTAIN'S MISJUDGMENT

Captain Park Yong-taek
has to take care of this.

Hit a line drive center-left.

First and second bases are empty, Captain.

Outside. It's a foul tip.

Here it is.

-Why didn't that work?
-What was that 116km/h?

-A slider.
-A slider?

FOUL

He pushed. It's a foul.

Great pitch.

You're too slow!

HE CAN'T MOVE LIKE HE WANTS TO

CHOONGAM 4 : 0 MONSTERS

This is an important moment.

But I wasn't in good shape.

It was a situation
that I needed to get over it.

Here we go.

Captain Park Yong-taek
has a lot of experience.

HE FAILS TO REDEEM HIMSELF

This time, he couldn't do it.

He misses and gets struck out.

Park Yong-taek steps down.

THEIR JAWS DROP

Tae-yeon, you pitch well.

FEARLESS AND AGGRESSIVE PITCH

I couldn't even hit one.

HE LOSES HIS TEMPER

I can't believe it.

I'm so pissed off.

Yong-taek is very upset.

To relieve his anger,

Jung Eui-yoon has to hit.

That's how you become one team,
and a strong one.

-That's right.
-Yes.

The fourth batter Jung Eui-yoon.

Let's go, Eui-yoon!

Let's get them in.

The first pitch is a strike.

STRIKE

Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon is still throwing
a fastball at upper 130km/h.

The captain couldn't make a hit,
and the team is in low spirits.

The fourth batter
Jung Eui-yoon has to do it.

THE 4TH HITTER HAS TO SHOW HIS POWER

Tae-yeon has thrown 87 pitches.

Now, this is the 88th pitch.

FOUL

The ball flies back. It's a foul.

HE CAN'T MOVE THE WAY HE WANTS

IF HE MISSES IT TOO, WE'LL LOSE

In the first round,

he made a hit after two outs.

Yes. He needs to do exactly the same.

We'll see what Eui-yoon will do.

4TH HITTER

VS THE ACE

He swings and misses.

Strikeout.

THEY LOSE THE CHANCE TO SCORE

CK Monsters' chance to score
in the fifth inning is over.

The score is four to zero.

The Monsters can't get over Choongam yet.

THE DUGOUT BECAME QUIET

Jeez.

THE 4TH HITTER COULDN'T SCORE
WHEN THEY WERE IN A SCORING POSITION

I honestly thought

we were slowly reaching our limits.

We can't focus because we're tired.

THEY CAN'T MOVE LIKE THEY WANT TO

-How did he throw a strikeout?
-Exactly.

TODAY'S GAME ISN'T GOING
THE WAY THEY WANT

-It's not working out.
-No.

BUT WE NEED TO SCORE NOW

Can you move?

-I have to.
-Are you sure?

Let's do it. We should've scored a point.

Four points seem big.

We should've scored a point.

Good job. Let's turn the tables around.

For some reason…

I feel bad for the players.

I don't know why.

It's because the game
isn't going well for them.

I don't know why.

They're trying, but it's not working.

IT'S THE TOP OF THE 6TH INNING

4 POINTS BEHIND,
ONLY 4 INNINGS LEFT TO GO

It's the top of the sixth inning.
Choongam is at bat.

And the pitcher is replaced.

OH JU-WON TAKES THE MOUND

Thank you.

Good luck. You're pitching at a bad time.

Baseball is always new.

When I first took the mound,
I was very nervous.

I haven't felt this nervous
since I was a rookie.

The atmosphere
put a lot of pressure on me.

Oh Ju-won, let's go!

-Let's throw clean ones.
-It's good.

-Ball.
-Why is he so good?

He might throw 140km/h.

You throw better than before you retired.

-Is that right?
-Yes.

-You're good.
-It's no different.

He has good control.

-Lee Chung-heon is at bat.
-Chun-heon, let's go.

He's taking the mound when the team

-is in a difficult situation.
-Yes.

-He needs to turn the tables around.
-Right.

There are 12 outs left.

-Let's go, Ju-won!
-Okay!

HE MUST NOT ALLOW THEM TO SCORE

He swings and misses the first pitch.

Good.

It's a fastball at 134km/h.

Ju-won's fastball is hard to hit
even if it's 134km/h.

He was like that when he was a pro player.

-Though it's 135km/h.
-It has a great finish.

You can tell.

A strike close to the body.

STRIKE

He pitches with a very fast arm.

Yes.

Oh Ju-won's pitch isn't fast.

But his four-seam has great rotation.

CHOONGAM 4 : 0 MONSTERS

HE HITS!

-What?
-Again?

IS IT ANOTHER 3-BASE HIT?

What is this?

Cut it off.

He allowed the first hitter to hit.

Center fielder catches it.

The runner runs all the way

to second base.

AN EASY 2-BASE HIT

Good job.

He's good. Yong-taek took a dive

in order to catch the ball.

But he couldn't stop Choongam
from reaching second base.

You're right.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

It would've been a three-base hit
if he didn't stop it.

-He made it a two-base hit.
-Okay!

It won't be easy.

THE MONSTERS LET
THE FIRST HITTER GET ON BASE

The first hitter is really important
for the pitcher.

NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

No outs, a runner on second base.

Pitcher Oh Ju-won
is faced with Kim Min-seok.

Everyone knows about
this player's strength.

-Right.
-Ju-won's four-seam is strong.

But he can hit it with power.

Focus.

Let's get him.

Ju-won, focus.

-Keep focusing.
-Okay!

HE HITS!

-Go!
-Three!

-That's it.
-Three!

It's a ground ball. He catches it!

HE THROWS IT TO 3RD QUICKLY

He catches it!
Shortstop throws it to third base!

He is out on third base.

OKAY

-Good.
-Nice.

-Good job.
-Hyun-in is good.

Shortstop's fast and perfect judgment

takes the runner out on third base.

1 OUT, RUNNER AT 1ST BASE

TOO BAD…

How did he think to throw it to third?

Jeez, he makes me speechless.

Because it was slow,
he came in to catch it.

If he didn't throw it at once,
he couldn't have caught it.

That's right.

Shortstop Hyun-in is leading

-the infielders.
-Hey, nice play.

This is making Ju-won

feel much less pressured.

Because nobody is in a scoring position.

HE HITS!

-Fast!
-It goes up high.

-What?
-Center fielder is waiting.

-Yong-taek catches it.
-Okay!

-Good.
-Now it's two outs.

It's good. Captain!

Ju-won tries to turn the tables around.

Okay. Let's go.

-Go!
-Okay! Let's go!

Yesterday, he made four hits.
Today, two hits.

-It's Im Jun-ha.
-Yes.

-Let's go.
-He made seven hits.

Seven hits in three games?

His batting average is .583.

That's insane.

I JUST NEED TO GET OVER THIS HURDLE…

-The ball skips off the bat. It's a foul.
-Okay.

-Good swing. I think you'll hit again.
-Good job.

You'll hit no matter what.

FOUL

-Good timing.
-Good swing.

-Okay.
-He swings well.

Let's go.

He keeps pushing the bat.

So Ju-won and Taek-keun

are going after pitches close to the body.

Taek-keun and Ju-won played
for Hyundai before.

They are the battery in A Clean Sweep.

AS EXPECTED,
IT'S A PITCH CLOSE TO THE BODY

Let's see their teamwork.

It's a strikeout looking
close to the body.

GROANING

-This is…
-That was good.

-Nice ball.
-Good.

NICE BALL

LAUGHING…

Hey, you're good.

You still got it.

OH JU-WON STILL GOT IT!

-Ju-won.
-Nice ball.

-Good job.
-Nice ball.

I used all the strength I had.

The pitching speed
was faster than I thought.

I was really nervous.

-It was a really good pitch.
-Nice ball.

It's the bottom of the sixth inning.

Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat first.

BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING
CHOONGAM 4 : 0 MONSTERS

It's the new pitcher.

Park Geon-u has taken the mound.

How will the Monsters respond
to the new pitcher?

Jeong Seong-hoon is the first batter.

-Let's do it.
-Park Geon-u, you can do it.

THE FIRST BATTER MUST GET ON BASE

STRIKE

The first pitch was strong.

WHO IS THIS KID…

They are faced
with another unfamiliar pitcher.

They have no idea how he pitches.

STRIKE

-Strike.
-It's an outside strike.

The ball is fast.

He's really strong.

He's got strength.
It looked like a breaking ball.

Great pitching, Geon-u.

GEON-U, GOOD JOB

I WILL HIT THIS TIME!

I WILL THROW ANOTHER STRIKE

Jeong Seong-hoon.

The breaking ball got him.

He misses. It's a strikeout.

ASTONISHED…

-It's an accident.
-It is.

What's going on?

Today, Choongam

got seven strikeouts against CK Monsters.

It rotates really fast.

Look at it spin. Look at it fall.

Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

He hasn't made a hit today.

HE HITS!

No!

-Lee Taek-keun. Third baseman!
-No!

Third baseman! The ball bounced off!

-Okay.
-Go.

-Go.
-Stop!

-The ball bounced off!
-Stop!

Lee Taek-keun makes a hit.

LET'S OVERTAKE THEM!

It's okay. Strike them out.

He made an infield hit.

He got on first base.

Except for the second inning,
runners got on base.

But nobody has reached home plate yet.

What will happen in the sixth inning?
Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

Between first and second.

PLEASE…

He hits the breaking ball!

He hits the breaking ball!

It's a hit to the right.

Seo Dong-wook's hit.

-Okay!
-Nice!

-Good!
-Good job!

After Lee Taek-keun,
Seo Dong-wook makes a hit too.

The Monsters are catching up
little by little.

Two hitters made hits.
One out, runners on first and second.

1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES

WE HAVE TO SCORE THIS TIME

Hey, Hong-ku! Up front!

HONG-KU GOES TO THE BATTER'S BOX

Once again,

Hong-ku is faced with a situation
where he has to hit.

THEY NEED A HIT
THAT WILL TURN THE TABLES AROUND

-Hit a home run.
-Let's go.

-Hit a home run.
-Think.

-Don't strain yourself.
-Hit a home run.

HE IS MORE DESPERATE THAN ANYONE

CHOONGAM 4 : 0 MONSTERS

Just hit it.

JEEZ…

Up front… It's slow.

-Hey!
-Go! Run!

Lee Hong-ku's hit goes up high.

A HIGH BALL

It's up in the air for a while.

Up front!

It's up in the air for a while.

He missed it.

-He missed the ball!
-He threw it late!

-That's it!
-Run!

-Run!
-Go!

He threw it late!
All the runners are running.

EVERY RUNNER ADVANCES 1 BASE

-Hong-ku.
-That's unexpected.

1 OUT, LOADED BASES

GOSH…

He couldn't see it. He didn't know.

It's because we're in Gocheok Sky Dome.

He missed it. Nobody saw it.

All three outfielders
had no will to catch it.

Timeout.

Can't you see the ball?

CAN'T YOU SEE THE BALL?

-It's okay. It doesn't matter.
-Okay.

-It's one out. So get another out.
-Yes, sir.

Do that. Take it easy.

Guys, get another out.

Today's best hitter is at bat
in a situation like this.

It's Ryu Hyun-in.

He's the only Monster
to have two hits in two at-bats.

Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

-Hyun-in can do it.
-He got it.

-He's got this.
-Hyun-in.

The bases are loaded.

Lee Taek-keun is on third base.
Seo Dong-wook on second.

Lee Hong-ku on first.

A GREAT CHANCE TO SCORE

-Open up.
-Okay.

There are three runners and one hitter.

Let's catch up.

The first pitch is an outside ball.

-Okay.
-Hyun-in, come on!

NICE EYE

Geon-u, focus.

He watched the first pitch carefully.

The second pitch.

It came in low. Two balls.

-Okay.
-That's it.

-That's it. We got a chance.
-This is it.

Make a three-base hit.

One out. The bases are loaded.

1 OUT, FULL BASES
THE BEST BATTING COUNT

It's two balls.

Hyun-in has to hit confidently.

Okay!

He hits!

DID HYUN-IN DO IT AGAIN?

He hits!

It's a good timely hit!

Yes!

GOOD JOB, HYUN-IN

-Go!
-Run!

Third baserunner scores a point.

CHOONGAM 4 : 1 MONSTERS

Let's go.

-Let's go.
-Okay!

HYUN-IN SCORED THE FIRST POINT
FOR THE MONSTERS

That was crazy.

Finally, the Monsters' number
on the board changes.

The score is four to one.

The chase begins now!

1 OUT, FULL BASES

Hyun-in, you're the best.

We're going to turn the tables around.

See?

This is A Clean Sweep.

-Do you still feel like crying?
-No, it's totally gone.

IT'S TOTALLY GONE(?)

I don't at all.

Earlier you were thinking,
"Why did I leave the company?"

That was it.

TEARS OF JOB INSECURITY(?)

All right. You did well. Go.

PITCHER PARK GEON-U IS SUBSTITUTED

It's one out.

So just get an out.

-Take it easy.
-It's a new pitcher.

Pitcher Park Chan-ho takes the mound.

Who is this?

What year is he in?

Second year?

Who is he?

Their pitchers are all great.

-Be confident. Let's go.
-Okay.

Because it's one out with loaded bases,

it's really hard to pitch
unless you're very confident.

Live up to your name.

-Let's go.
-Live up to your name.

Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

KING OF HOME RUN IS AT BAT

Hit it!

Keun-woo waits for the first pitch.

The first pitch came in low.

Okay. Good eye.

Okay!

Timing, Keun-woo!

I think Keun-woo
will hit something big this time.

Keun-woo will do it.

-He swings.
-Yes, he's got it.

He swings with confidence.

TOO BAD…

Okay. It's okay. Good timing!

It's one and one.

THEY CAN CATCH UP WITH A HIT

It's one and one.

The ball bounced! It rolls away!

Run!

-No!
-Stop him!

-The ball bounced!
-Get it!

-It rolls away!
-Third baserunner runs to home plate!

THE CATCHER QUICKLY
THROWS IT TO HOME PLATE

OKAY, WE GOT HIM!

-Wait!
-Go back!

Go back.

RISKY

Third baserunner runs to home plate!

HE REACHES HOME PLATE

Third baserunner gets in first.
He scores one point.

-Yes!
-Okay!

CHOONGAM 4 : 2 MONSTERS

THANK GOODNESS

-Front-runner Seo Dong-wook scores.
-Okay.

It's four to two.
They're only two points apart.

THE SCORE IS 2 POINTS APART

Perfect Choongam is starting to shake.

PERFECT CHOONGAM
MAKES A MISTAKE AFTER ANOTHER

Jeez.

Take it easy. It's okay.

Yes, sir.

Nobody, not even the god of baseball,
knows what will happen

in the sixth inning.

Here, you need to think differently.

A short hit will do.
They can score two points then.

One out. There are two runners
who can score.

WITH A SHORT HIT, THEY CAN CATCH UP

I wonder what Keun-woo will do
after thinking differently.

CHOONGAM 4 : 2 MONSTERS

Keun-woo holds back
on the low pitch again.

CHOONGAM IS SHAKING

Here we go again.

THE ONE TRYING
TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY

VERSUS THE ONE TRYING TO STOP IT

It's a high pitch. Four balls.

FOUR BALLS

OKAY, THAT'S IT!

-Please!
-We got this.

THEY'RE ABLE TO MAKE A TIE
AND TURN THE TABLES AROUND

His fastball falls slightly
like a two-seam.

-I'll watch out for it.
-Yes.

Keun-woo, is it four-seam?

-It falls slightly like a two-seam.
-Right?

Keun-woo walks to first base.

The bases are loaded again.

1 OUT, FULL BASES

WE'LL TURN THE TABLES AROUND
NO MATTER WHAT

The second batter Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

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

I'll hit it no matter what.

-I'm determined to make a hit.
-Let's go!

He goes after the first pitch.
It's a foul that flies back.

-Okay.
-It's slow.

It shouldn't fly back.

1 OUT, FULL BASES

Soo-hyun, make a hit.

-He goes after the second pitch.
-Three!

It's up in the infield.

He catches it.

It's okay.

Hee-kwan looks nervous.

THEY'RE REMINDED
OF THE TERRIBLE 5TH INNING

They can't watch this game comfortably.

WE CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER CHANCE

Park Yong-taek is at bat again.

CAPTAIN TAEK IS AT BAT

-Hello.
-Hi.

Yong-taek shows up
when the bases are loaded.

2 OUTS, FULL BASES
EITHER SCORE OR PLAY NEXT INNING

Captain, it's an important moment.

Let's go!

Let's score one more point.

Please do it, Captain.

A CHANCE TO TURN THE TABLES

They can't have
any chance better than this.

No.

I wonder what he'll do.

AS THE CAPTAIN, I MUST RESOLVE THIS

CHAN-HO MUST STOP HIM

He holds back on the first low pitch.

Good timing!

You can do it.

You must do it.

If you're in bad condition,
you must get over it.

I was feeling the pressure.

THE FATE OF THE MONSTERS
IS IN HIS HANDS

Please.

PLEASE TURN THE TABLES AROUND!

BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING
2 OUTS, FULL BASES

CAPTAIN PARK YONG-TAEK
HAS TO HIT AND TURN THE TABLES

PITCHER PARK CHAN-HO HAS TO STOP HIM

HE HITS!

-Okay! He did it.
-He did it.

Okay! He did it!

He hits! Center right!

It's a hit!

-Park Yong-taek did it!
-Yes!

-Run!
-He did it.

Run!

Okay.

SPRINTING

Here we go!

Third and second baserunners
reach home plate!

CHOONGAM 4 : 3 MONSTERS

CHOONGAM 4 : 4 MONSTERS

They reach home plate!

FINALLY, IT'S A TIE!

What's this?

-Why?
-What?

They reach home plate!

He's caught!

CAPTAIN TAEK GOT ON 1ST BASE

GO OR NOT

HE GOES TO 2ND BASE

Throw it!

Throw it!

He's caught! Third baserunner!

Stop.

Hey!

Go in!

HE SPRINTS TO HOME PLATE

-Please!
-Run!

IF HE COMES HOME,
THEY CAN TURN THE TABLES!

PLEASE BE AN OUT

Third baserunner!

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-He dropped the ball!

A THROWING ERROR!

-He did it!
-Jeong Keun-woo reaches home plate!

CHOONGAM 4 : 5 MONSTERS

-Okay!
-Yes!

-Okay!
-Yes!

THE MONSTERS TURNED THE TABLES

WE DID IT!

-Okay!
-Yes!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Go! Yes!

They turned the tables around!

-This is unbelievable.
-Good job.

Don't run.

CAPTAIN TAEK IS CAUGHT
BETWEEN TWO BASES AGAIN

-Slow.
-It's five to four.

Park Yong-taek is out.

The inning is over.

-But CK Monsters were able
-Nice.

to turn the tables around.

That's Park Yong-taek.

AS A CAPTAIN,

PARK YONG-TAEK TURNED
THE TABLES AROUND

THAT'S CAPTAIN TAEK

It was a rundown that allowed them

-to score the winning point.
-That's right.

Park Yong-taek's hit allowed
the first and the second base

runners to score.

The ball was thrown to third base,

so Yong-taek
was going to run to second base.

-Yes.
-But he got stranded here.

Keun-woo saw that and ran to home plate.

Because there was a throwing error,

Keun-woo reached home plate.

CK Monsters turned the tables around!

-You got the timing.
-Yes.

You got it with the first pitch.

-I watched the first one to hit.
-Exactly.

That was an unexpected play.

How did that happen in one inning?

Does this make sense?

It's unbelievable.

Look at the scoreboard.

From the first to fifth inning,
the score was zero.

The first number that was recorded

was five. They turned the tables around.

Let's go.

Let's stop them!

-It's time to play defense.
-It's five to four.

It's the top of the seventh inning.

TOP OF THE 7TH INNING
CHOONGAM 4 : 5 MONSTERS

Pitcher Oh Ju-won now has to defend.

We had to play defense
for as short a time as possible.

That way, the hitters can concentrate

when they're at bat.

So make as few mistakes as possible.

JU-WON TRIES TO KEEP UP
THE GOOD FLOW FOR THE TEAM

Manager Lee has become the chaser now.

Let's do it.

-Get on base!
-Let's go!

Here we go!

The second batter Im Sang-hyeok is at bat.

BALL

SANG-HYEOK WATCHES
THE BALL CAREFULLY

Good.

IT FLIES HIGH IN THE INFIELD

Where's the ball?

I can't see it.

Okay.

A GOOD CHANCE!

CALL!

-Three!
-Three!

-Three.
-Okay.

Catch it. Slowly. In the back.

MISS IT!

Choi Soo-hyun.

He catches it!

He catches it! Choi Soo-hyun.

THAT WAS CLOSE

HE CAUGHT IT…

He slipped, so he should've missed it.

But he didn't lose focus until the end.

He was able to catch it
because he has good balance.

He fell on his back.

Soo-hyun got a precious out.

SOO-HYUN MANAGES TO STOP
THE TABLES FROM TURNING

The third batter Woo Seung-won is at bat.

Seung-won.

-Strike!
-It's a strike close to the body.

What was that?

Was that 133km/h?

That's good.

Ju-won might get an offer.

HE HITS!

He hits. The ball flies high.
Right fielder goes after it.

The ball flies in the Gocheok Sky Dome.

Seo Dong-wook catches it.

2 OUTS

-Let's go!
-You have to pitch until the ninth inning.

(STARING)

You have to pitch until the ninth inning.

TAEK-KEUN HELPS JU-WON RELAX

Ju-won let the first hitter
make a two-base hit.

But since then,
he's throwing stable pitches.

The fourth batter Kim Dong-heon is at bat.

Let's go.

STRIKE

JU-WON THROWS A STRIKE

Good!

-He just needs to pitch well here…
-And it'll keep him going.

-Yes, he is.
-Now he's comfortable playing with us.

He hits the low pitch.

Left fielder!

-This is it!
-This is it!

OH, NO!

This can't be.

-In the front.
-Left fielder!

-He fails to catch it!
-He misses!

Center fielder catches it
and throws it to second.

Dong-heon can't advance any further.

Dong-heon's hit after two outs.

Choongam attempts
to take the momentum back.

CHOONGAM TRIES TO CHANGE THE FLOW
WITH DONG-HEON'S HIT

NICE, LET'S DO THIS

Park Yong-taek covered
the left fielder well.

Or else, Dong-heon would've advanced
another base.

That means

he would be in a scoring position.

Missing his catch was inevitable.

But Yong-taek's backup was great.

This stopped the runner.

A PERFECT BACKUP BY YONG-TAEK

ANOTHER TIGHT SITUATION
EMERGES ONCE AGAIN

The lights are on again.

Focus! Two outs!

2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST

After Dong-heon, Chae-ul is up next.

Okay. Got it.

CANNOT LET THEM TAKE THIS MOMENTUM

I need to focus.

-Good!
-Catcher! Throw it!

A SHORT GROUNDBALL!

OKAY!

The ball didn't go far.
Taek-keun throws it to first.

Out on first!

There you go.

NICE!

-Out on first!
-This is how the catcher should play.

I'm getting tired.

JU-WON IS FINALLY SMILING

Oh Ju-won and Lee Taek-keun,
who were on the same pro team before,

once again close the inning
with a shutout.

THE RELIABLE CATCHER TAEK-KEUN
FIELDS THE GROUNDBALL PERFECTLY

-Nice job.
-Nice.

You still got it!

We got this.

You're the hero in our time of crisis.

Well played.

Nice job.

Nice pitching.

Ju-won.

HE LAUGHS

Things are good now.

-Nice job, guys.
-Well played.

-You okay?
-Sure.

How are you feeling?

-Nice pitching.
-I'm fine.

-That's good.
-Nice pitching.

Nice play!

A Clean Sweep makes people nervous.

We're not even playing against
a professional baseball team,

but I questioned myself,
"Why are there butterflies in my stomach?"

"Why am I trying to do my best?"

But as soon as I held the ball,
I understood why.

I'm a baseball player.

I'm an athlete after all.

I believe that this is what
everyone on the team feels.

THEIR TRUE LOVE FOR BASEBALL
ARE ALL THE SAME

WOW

This is fun.

If we win like this today,

our general manager
may want to have an afterparty.

GENERAL MANAGER MAY WANT
TO HAVE AN AFTERPARTY

BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
CHOONGAM 4 : 5 MONSTERS

The bottom of the seventh inning.
Monsters are on the offense.

Although they are ahead by a run,

there are still two innings left.

Which means a point ahead isn't much.

If we get on first and second…

Obviously a bunt. We need one more run.

When Eui-yoon gets on a base,

Seong-hoon, you get ready for hit and run.

But Eui-yoon can't run.

Still, he should.

-It's okay. Let's run today.
-Really?

Signal hit and run.

I'll let them know so that they're aware.

The first hitter is Jung Eui-yoon.

-Good luck.
-Let's go.

I MUST GET ON A BASE

Let's come home one more time!

-He did it.
-He makes contact.

THIS IS IT!

He makes contact.

To center field. CF moves.

He fields the ball. One out.

THEIR PLAN WENT TO PIECES

Next up is Jeong Seong-hoon.

Seong-hoon doesn't really go
for home runs,

but he's exceptional
in making situational hits.

-First pitch is a ball.
-Okay!

A dropping pitch. Seong-hoon holds back.

It's a little out of the zone. No strike.

NICE

-Nice!
-Nice.

CHOONGAM 4 : 5 MONSTERS

CHOONGAM 4 : 5 MONSTERS

He doesn't swing. Gets a walk.

HE'S ON A BASE, NICE!

Seong-hoon gets a walk after one out.

TAEK-KEUN V THE HIT MACHINE
COMES ONTO THE PLATE

In A Clean Sweep, in Monsters,

Lee Taek-keun got hits in all his games,
eight games in a row.

Let's get more runs!

All right! Let's run ahead!

CAN TAEK-KEUN MAKE IT HAPPEN?

1 OUT WITH A RUNNER ON 1ST

How will this play out?

-He makes contact.
-Third!

He makes contact.

It drops in center-left.
Another hit for Taek-keun.

THAT'S RIGHT!

-Third.
-Run quickly!

SEONG-HOON GETS ON 2ND BASE SAFELY

He goes beyond a hit every game

and records a multi-hit game.

A MULTI-HIT THAT BRINGS
THE MOMENTUM BACK

NICE BATTING

Nice!

Taek-keun's specialty
of staying on top of the ball.

TAEK-KEUN'S SPECIALTY
STAYING ON TOP OF THE BALL

With this hit,

his BA becomes .355.

TAEK-KEUN MAKES RUNNERS
ON 1ST AND 2ND

Timeout!

-You pitched well. It's my bad.
-No, sir.

You pitched well.

(GIVE ME THE BALL)

-Well done.
-Thank you.

Well done, Park Chan-ho.

Park Chan-ho steps down from the mound.

THE NEXT PITCHER TAKES THE MOUND

-This guy was the starting pitcher.
-Got it.

In the first game with Choongam,

Byeon Geon-u played
as the starting pitcher.

He takes the mound as the fourth pitcher.

Dong-wook, he was the starting pitcher
the first game.

You know, right?
He pitches good fastballs.

He's around 140km/h.

So the point of contact needs
to be forward.

Runners on first and second.

Jeong Seong-hoon and Lee Taek-keun
are on bases.

Byeon Geon-u will face Dong-wook first.

Dong-wook went one for three today.

We need one more run.

If we want to be safe, we need one more.

First pitch hits but a foul.

The first pitch was at 141km/h.

He's in his second year of high school.
But he can pitch up to 145km/h.

ANOTHER FOUL

Foul territory on the left.

Nice pitches.

The count is zero and two.

With more force and move up more.

If he was a pro, it would've been a hit.

-I know, right?
-It would've been center-left.

His eyes can see it,
but his body can't follow through.

CAN HIS BODY
FOLLOW THROUGH THIS TIME?

HE HITS!

He makes contact.
A hit that goes over the shortstop.

YOU DID IT!

We got this.

-He fielded it.
-It's a run.

Second baserunner, Jeong Seong-hoon
goes through third to home base.

He comes home!

CHOONGAM 4 : 6 MONSTERS

Get on second base!

Go to second, hurry.

Run, hurry up!

To second base!

The hitter gets on second.

Dong-wook's RBI single!
The score is six to four.

Monsters run ahead with another run!

PROFESSOR SEO IS AMAZING

THE MOMENTUM IS ON OUR SIDE

The score is six to four.
Monsters are two runs ahead.

TIME TO PARTY

Great job!

Seo Dong-wook, without any difficulty,

makes contact into a hit, whenever
Monsters desperately needed him to.

That's right.

Monsters are ahead by two runs.
The score is six to four.

-A clean hit.
-That was good.

A very clean hit. Good job.

Two runners in scoring positions.

Let's pitch with confidence.

Hong-ku is up next.

He went one for three today.

Just one more point. No pressure.

A single hit

may result in a big lead by Monsters.

And that's necessary.

-And we want Hong-ku to make it happen.
-That's right.

FOUL

The ball goes back.

One, two, swing!

SO CLOSE

THE 2ND AND 3RD BASERUNNERS
ARE GETTING READY TO RUN

To outfield with confidence!

Swing with confidence!

-Hey!
-Oh!

The center. It hits the pitcher's foot.

The center. It hits the pitcher's foot.

The pitcher fields it. In a rundown.

TAEK-KEUN IS IN A RUNDOWN

They are cornering him.

And runners for home base.

HONG-KU ADVANCES TO 2ND

Chase him.

Bring it here.

Out on home base.

2 OUTS

It's fine.

-Hong-ku gets on second.
-Right.

It's the same situation as before.

JUST MORE OUTS THAN BEFORE

Are you okay?

GROANS IN PAIN

GEON-U LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN PAIN

What is surprising is that
Geon-u got hit on his foot.

But he manages to get himself together

and check the runners
to make the right move.

Hong-ku hit the ball well.

The ball hit the pitcher's ankle,
but he played it through,

focused, and threw the ball.

He played it through even in pain.

This is the most fundamental mindset
in Major League Baseball

but also the most praised mindset as well.

-If you are in pain, we can switch.
-I can do it, sir.

-You're okay? Then pitch.
-Yes, sir.

GEON-U THROWS A PRACTICE PITCH

I think he got stronger after he got hit.

Why does it feel stronger?
Maybe it's just me.

Look at this mental strength.
The pitches got faster.

-You want to pitch?
-Yes, sir!

Okay, then.

HE'S CONTEMPLATING

Hyun-in, have you ever had four hits?

I never went four for four.

You can do it today then.

Two outs with runners on second and third.

Now, Ryu Hyun-in is up.

Today, whenever Hyun-in was up,
he had a hit.

WOW

He went three for three today.

Ryu Hyun-in currently has
the highest BA on Monsters.

Although the youngest, he's the first.

AND GEON-U IS FACING HIM

Should we let him walk?

HE'S ANXIOUS
SHOULD WE LET HIM WALK?

-Should we not?
-Next up is Keun-woo, so…

HE SIGHS

THE BEST RIGHT-HANDED PITCHERS
VERSUS THE BEST HITTER

FACES HIM HEAD ON
STRIKE

-Gosh, it's 145km/h!
-Gosh.

He just threw a pitch around mid-140km/h.

Geon-u is furious right now.

Although he may not show it,
when you get hit by a ball,

it's extremely painful.

Even in that situation, he doesn't
express it at all on the mound,

and tries his best to pitch better.

He won't allow himself to let them
have all the bases loaded.

-That's what he's thinking right now.
-That's right.

A LOW PITCH
BALL

He manages to hold back.

The fastball is 146km/h.

SURPRISED

That was 146km/h.

That was 146km/h, Geon-u.

That was 146km/h.

You can see how mentally strong he is.

He's only pitching fastballs.

Come on. Make it faster.

FOUL

HYUN-IN'S BAT WAS PUSHED BACK

HIS FASTEST AGAIN!

This means…

Byeon Geon-u doesn't want to
pitch a breaking ball.

He's going to win with power.

This is power versus power.

Byeon Geon-u, who's showing
great confidence and mental strength,

and the best hitter
are going against each other.

THE BEST MENTAL STRENGTH
VERSUS THE BEST HITTER

Just one hit.

JUST ONE HIT!

Another fastball.
He makes contact this time!

Another fastball.

THE HIT IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF RIGHT CENTER

Right center!
It cuts through the exact middle!

HYUN-IN DOES IT AGAIN!

-Yes!
-Hyun-in!

Hyun-in!

Hyun-in!

HE SHOUTS IN HAPPINESS

Second and third baserunners come home!

CHOONGAM 4 : 7 MONSTERS

Go!

Hyun-in is still sprinting!

His destination is the third base!

He tripled home two runs.
A perfect hit by Hyun-in.

OUR YOUNGEST IS THE BEST

That was seriously insane!

HE'S MY SON!

Darn it.

This is what I think.
I kept saying these things like,

"Someone needs to get a hit."
It was Ryu Hyun-in.

"This is the time to hit the ball."
That was Ryu Hyun-in.

"We need two more points towards the end."

-It was Ryu Hyun-in.
-That's right.

That was all I need to say
to praise this player.

-Come on in.
-Yes!

Monsters start getting runs.

And Hyun-in tripled home two runs.

-He even shows off a little.
-Amazing!

What a hitter today.

-It's eight to four.
-Amazing!

Four for four.

This is Ryu Hyun-in, today's hero.

HE JUST KILLED THAT

He's good.

-Good job.
-Thank you, sir.

Good. You did well.

-It's fine.
-Byeon Geon-u leaves the mound.

The new pitcher is Kang Ji-un.

He's 187cm tall.

His fastest pitch was 141km/h.

I'm looking forward to his pitches.

Jeong Keun-woo is up next.

Today isn't a great day for him.

He made an error as well.

He also failed in a defensive shift.
He's facing difficulties today.

For Hyun-in, he hit two singles,

a double, and a triple.

He's almost hitting for the cycle.

I told Hyun-in today.

We were practicing batting,
and I kept catching his balls

-near the fence.
-Okay.

I made fun of him.

I told him he was weak.

But watching him today…

He deserved to nod his head to you.

He can't. It's not a home run.

A triple isn't enough? I got it.

He makes contact. Keun-woo's…

-A home run?
-What?

HE HITS!

(HE STARES AT THE BALL)

He makes contact. Keun-woo's…

It's over. It's over the wall.

-It's flying!
-Fly!

IT'S OVER…

It's over the fence.

-It's a home run!
-To the left!

It goes over the fence!

-Keun-woo's hit is…
-Home run!

IT GOES TO THE LEFT

IT GOES OVER THE FENCE

-It went over.
-It's over.

IT'S A HOME RUN

-Home run!
-Come on!

GENERAL MANAGER
ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?

Come on!

The home run Hyun-in couldn't hit
was made by Keun-woo!

THE GAME-CHANGING HOME RUN

HE'S SPEECHLESS…

Soo-chang!

Keun-woo.

CHOONGAM 4 : 10 MONSTERS

Jeong Keun-woo!

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-Jeong Keun-woo!

THE HOME RUN KING IS HERE

-Nice!
-Good!

(HE JUMPS)

-Hyun-in, good job.
-So cool!

-Hyun-in!
-Ten to four?

Honestly, I don't know what happened.
At the beginning of the game,

I thought, "How would they beat Choongam?"

But there was this unimaginable

momentum that led

to this moment.

The score is ten to four.
Monsters are going strong.

Let's get four more runs.

It's payback time.

LET'S GO FOR THE MERCY RULE

Choi Soo-hyun gets a base on balls.

Kang Ji-un steps down the mound
after a base on balls.

Kim Yeong-jun takes the mound.

A SIDEARM PITCHER
GREAT BALANCE AND BREAKING BALL

That's good.

Park Yong-taek is up next.

Just before this, he got a hit

that even out the score
and turned the game around.

Swing and miss! Strikeout!

YEONG-JUN PITCHES A STRIKEOUT EASILY

STRIKEOUT TAEK IS BACK

This is where he ends.

But the CK Monsters made
another meaningful inning.

The score is ten to four.

7TH INNING CK MONSTERS 5

RUNS, HITS, ERRORS, BALL

Moving on to the eighth inning.

Oh Ju-won still takes the mound.

Ju-won turned the game around

with Hyun-in.

He's so reliable on the mound,

-shutting the hitters out.
-Right.

It's impressive.

The first hitter is Cho Hyeon-min.

All right. Why don't we get some runs now?

CAN THEY KEEP GOING ON
WITH THIS MOMENTUM?

-Yes!
-It's a ground ball. Shortstop!

A LONG BALL NEAR SHORTSTOP

-Hyun-in fields it!
-To first base!

He's out on first base!

A JAW-DROPPING PLAY

Nice job.

Today, Ryu Hyun-in is the name
that we must remember.

That was sick.

A two-way player.

Everything about him is just perfect.

SAFE

IT'S NOT SAFE?

Instant replay!

Check the call.

Draw your squares! One, two, three.

CHOONGAM'S LITTLE MANAGER

I drew a perfect square.

That umpire always calls out.

-Let's see.
-Okay.

It's out.

HE WAS A BIT TOO LATE

1 OUT

HE'S DISAPPOINTED

You can go rest in peace.

Goodbye!

The umpire upholds his call.

RUNNER DELETED

-Okay!
-Next up is Lee Chung-heon.

THE MONSTROUS HITTER
3 FOR 3, BA .500

Chung-heon, you're doing great!

He's an extremely competent hitter.

He's going to hit a triple.

WILL HE BE ABLE TO STOP
THE MONSTER HITTER

HE HITS IT AS EXPECTED!

-He going to catch it.
-It's high.

To the center. Center fielder.

THEY ALL WATCH THE BALL

It's high.

Park Yong-taek drops the ball.

HE GROANS

I told you. He's extremely competent.
Hurry!

Go for more!

HE'S SPRINTING

-To third!
-Stop!

Stop there. That's enough.

The hitter stops on second base.

A double after an out.

CHUNG-HEON IS SATISFIED
WITH A DOUBLE

-You're amazing!
-That was sick.

He went for the opposite side this time.

That would've been a sick catch
if he caught it.

I can't run fast enough.

Kim Moon-ho and Yoon Jun-ho
couldn't play today

due to a university baseball league.

That's why Seo Dong-wook
is the left fielder,

and Park Yong-taek
is the center fielder today.

So there are no backup players.

Right. Playing on artificial turf

for a long time at his age isn't easy.

LACKING STAMINA
TO PLAY THE WHOLE GAME

Next up is the DH, Kim Min-seok.

Min-seok, it's your turn to hit.

CHOONGAM IS DESPERATE FOR A HIT

-There you go! Hurry up!
-Come on!

A push swing.
Goes through first and second.

Come on quickly! That's enough.

A hit near the right fielder.
Second baserunner goes for home.

He comes home.

Choongam scores a run.

Second base!

Stop there!

Min-seok! Stop!

Nice.

The score is five to ten.
A five-point difference.

Great job!

Timeout, please.

REQUESTS A TIMEOUT

Manager Lee takes a trip to the mound.

Why do you look exhausted so suddenly?

-Suddenly?
-Yes.

Were you exhausted for a while?

Seung-jun is getting warmed up right now.

Try to get one more out
because even his catch ball isn't great.

My hope is that you finish up this inning.

Try to do your best.

Consider every hitter your last
and pitch with full force.

One out at a time.

Because Ju-won hasn't pitched in a while,

as his pitch count goes up,

-he gets more tired.
-That's right.

-One out with a runner one first.
-We need an out!

Lee Guk-il comes in as a substitute.

IN THE BOX IS LEE GUK-IL

This shows Choongam's will
to keep this game going.

Ju-won, you got this!

He looks exhausted.

Ju-won is sweating.

He hits a low pitch.

Hyun-in fields the ball.

And out on second base!

NICE!

No way.

Hyun-in is carrying this game alone today.

Hyun-in throws to second

for the second out of the inning.

After this airs, everyone will go wild.

The headlines may say, "First pick
in KBO Draft, Ryu Hyun-in Rises."

What troubles me
when looking at Hyun-in is that

if A Clean Sweep
keeps going until next year,

I don't think we can play with Hyun-in.

He'll be a pro by then.

I'm sure he's going to be a pro.

Timeout.

MANAGER LEE CHOOSES
TO CHANGE PITCHERS

-Well done. Seriously.
-Thank you.

-Nice job.
-Nice pitching.

Was he running out of power?

Oh Ju-won leaves the mound now.

Many applaud Ju-won
who played his role in the team

as he leaves the mound.

THE PITCHER WHO
SAVED THE TEAM IN A CRISIS

RELIEF PITCHER OH JU-WON

-As expected!
-You showed them.

-You really showed them.
-Nice pitching.

You're the best.

You going to work tomorrow?
Because you probably can't get up.

You going to work?

I'm sure you'll stay in bed tomorrow.

A hero in a time of crisis!

I feel this every time I pitch,
but I really can't pitch anymore.

HAVING TWO JOBS IS HARD

The pitcher has been changed.

-It's not Song Seung-jun.
-You're my last card.

Rhee Dae-eun takes the mound.

-You're the last one.
-This is a good choice.

-A good one.
-You got this.

Right now, Rhee Dae-eun, as a pitcher,
lost a lot of confidence,

so it's important that he recovers it.

-And the score is looking good too.
-Right.

DAE-EUN THREW A WILD PITCH LAST GAME

MONSTERS ALLOWED CHOONGAM
TO TURN THE GAME AROUND

Rhee Dae-eun's wild pitch

allows Monsters to lose their lead.

Actually, I was a little concerned.

He was the closing pitcher,

so I think his role is important
in this game.

He needs to overcome it.

DAE-EUN TAKES THE MOUND AS A CLOSER

In yesterday's game,
we saw him crumble down

and we also felt his frustration.

I spoke to Dae-eun all day today.

I see.

AFTER YESTERDAY'S LOSS,
SUN-WOO CAME FOR HIM

VOLUNTEERS TO BE DAE-EUN'S COACH

WILL HIS COACHING
RESULT IN A CHANGE?

The pitcher goes against the hitter.

But I kept going against myself.

So that's why I couldn't even
go against them properly.

Because I kept thinking,
"What should I do with myself?"

I think I have to overcome that quickly.

CAN HE MOVE ON FROM YESTERDAY'S
PAINFUL MEMORIES AND STAND TALL?

The first hitter is Im Jun-ha.

Stay calm and let's go for one!

Let's chase them down!

What makes Rhee Dae-eun
so focused is the fact

that he's against Im Jun-ha.

THE .500 HITTER IM JUN-HA

This is an opportunity

to overcome yesterday's disappointment.

Come closer.

Hit it if you can!

Hit it if you can!

-Strike!
-First pitch is a strike.

-Nice pitch.
-His first pitch felt good.

His movement was great.

Nice ball!

NICE PITCHING!

CHOONGAM 5 : 10 MONSTERS

-Strike!
-It's in the zone.

Just keep trying, Jun-ha!

DAE-EUN'S STABLE COMMAND

It's a two-seam fastball
with a velocity of 134km/h.

It's a very good ball with a backspin.

A PERFECT TWO-SEAM WITH A BACKSPIN

DAE-EUN IS MANAGING WELL

What a good pitcher.

Don't give up until the end!

Stay focused!

The count is zero and two.

The count doesn't favor the hitter.

.500 HITTER VS THE CLOSER

Jun-ha, let's go!

He hits.

He hits. It's a ground ball. Third base!

He hits. It's a ground ball. Third base!

-What is he doing?
-He drops it!

Second base!

-Catch it!
-Hurry!

STOP AT 2ND BASE

The inning doesn't end. Two runners.

Second base!

(READS HIS FACE)

AGGRAVATED

I became an idiot.

Relax. It's all right.

One out to go.

Choongam won't let go of this game easily.

Batter two, Im Sang-hyeok is at bat.

SENDING A SIGN

SOMEWHAT SUSPICIOUS

Relax. Throw at ease.

A SUDDEN BUNT!

-Good.
-It's a bunt.

Rhee Dae-eun catches
and throws to the first.

Out from the first.

The inning ends.

-Rhee Dae-eun ends the inning.
-That surprised me.

He suddenly hit a bunt.

THANK YOU FOR THE BUNT!

I think a sudden bunt was a move
he could make right now.

SIGH…

Exactly. We wanted to let him run out

to fill up the bases.

OPERATION FAILED

The score is ten to five.
The difference stands the same.

THE GAME IS ALMOST OVER

Choongam has one more inning to go,
batting at the top of the ninth.

TOP OF THE 9TH
CHOONGAM 5 : 10 MONSTERS

This is our final batting.

It's the final batting.

Let's try to score one or two more points.

-Okay?
-Yes, sir.

Good.

-Let's go. It's the last one!
-Good.

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

THE FINAL BATTLE

Rhee Dae-eun only has
three more outs to go

until he leads his team to victory.

How will he defend his team?

Also, the batters are
three, four, and five.

This is an opportunity
for Rhee Dae-eun to test himself.

These are the batters
Choongam is proud of.

-Right.
-Rhee Dae-eun must

survive this inning.

WE WON'T LOSE A SINGLE POINT

WOO SEUNG-WON,
KIM DONG-HEON, PARK CHAE-UL

Woo Seung-won is first at bat.

Let's score five and go overtime.

LET'S PLAY OVERTIME!

Relax and pitch!

DON'T BE NERVOUS!

EVERY SINGLE PITCH IS IMPORTANT

First pitch, he swings.

AN EASY BALL
TO MAKE THE BATTER SWING

But he missed.

Keep it going.

WHAT KIND OF A PITCH
WILL DAE-EUN THROW NEXT?

STRIKE TOWARD THE BODY

The movement of the pitch.

THE COUNT IS IN HIS FAVOR

The pitch shoots into the zone.

He throws it away from the center.

It's a sinker.

THE SINKER DROPS ON THE EDGE

He pitches well.

He pitches many breaking balls
to Choongam's batters,

so they'll try to hit it
at the right timing.

If the batter hits the center
when the pitch drops low,

it can turn into a big hit.

Two strikes, Rhee Dae-eun.

HOW WILL THIS BATTLE END?

-Strike!
-He's out.

Strikeout looking.

STRIKEOUT LOOKING

I'M NOT THE SAME MAN I USED TO BE

NICE!

Pitchers always need
a great pitching coach.

PITCHERS NEED A GREAT PITCHING COACH

He understood at once.
That was a splitter.

A splitter.

He met a great pitching coach.

HE PITCHES A SPLITTER
THANKS TO THE COACH

He smoothly struck out the batter.

Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.

CHOONGAM'S CAPTAIN, KIM DONG-HEON

-Three.
-He pulls it in.

The third baseman blocks it.

Choi Soo-hyun to the first.

Out at the first. Two outs.

Rhee Dae-eun continues

to strike out the batters
by making them hit grounders.

Thanks to one lesson
from the pitching coach,

he has changed completely.

Have you always been into self-praise?

I've worked with you for years,
but I had no idea.

I didn't know.

LEADING BATSMAN,
BATTER 5, PARK CHAE-UL

Pitch and let him hit to see if he can.

-Keep it up!
-Two outs.

Keep it going!

IT'S A HIT!

-Three.
-Okay!

Three.

Both the third baseman
and the shortstop couldn't catch.

NICE, CHOONGAM!

HE EASILY MAKES IT TO THE 1ST BASE!

The game isn't over yet.

-Okay.
-He's good.

He's good.

CHOONGAM HIGH HAS GOOD BATTERS!

The next batter will hit another single.

The next at-bat is batter six,
Cho Hyeon-min.

BATTER 6, CHO HYEON-MIN

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit down the center.

THIS IS OUR CHANCE!

Go to the end!

-That's it!
-That's it!

Good job!

Runners at first and third.

They're a great team.

CHOONGAM PERSISTENTLY
CONTINUES TO MARCH FORWARD

Choongam has good batters.

They have 15 hits.

Choongam won't let them
have this game easily.

Next up, Lee Chung-heon.

CK Monsters have Ryu Hyun-in.

For Choongam today, it's Lee Chung-heon.

He hit two triples and two doubles today.

LEE CHUNG-HEON

Lee Chung-heon records
a batting average of 0,538.

LET'S FINISH THIS!

Let's do this.

HE MUST END THE INNING NOW

A batter with an average of 50 percent.

Rhee Dae-eun is up against Lee Chung-heon.

THIS MAY BE THEIR LAST BATTLE

-Three.
-He hits. A foul near the third base.

NICE TRY

Swing with confidence.

Just one more inning.

A TORTURING BATTLE

RIGHT THEN!

THE BATTERY EXCHANGES A SIGN

It's near his torso.

TAEK-KEUN LEADS BOLDLY

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS BALL CONTROL

-Near his torso. It hits the bat.
-Good.

He comes in contact every time.

He swings even though
it was near his torso.

Good!

YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

Good!

It's not over until it is.

He's good.

He ended up making two strikes.

He made great control
even though he's under pressure.

He hit one next to the torso,

so it's time to pitch however he wants.

It can be a wild pitch,

but he should go all out.

It's all right.

One out left,

two strikes.

ONLY 1 MORE OUT TO GO

CHOOGAM'S MANAGER
DEMANDS A WIDER LEAD

Good, Dae-eun. Let's end it here.

Dae-eun, he was never struck out.

LEE CHUNG-HEON WASN'T STRUCK OUT

THE BATTERY EXCHANGES A SIGN

What's the catcher demanding?

He sits outside.

THIS TIME, IT'S DIFFERENT
THEIR PLAN CHANGES

ONE PITCH, NOTHING AFTER

THERE'S ONLY ONE PITCH

NOTHING MORE CAN COME AFTER

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

The game ends.

-Yes!
-Nice job!

Monsters will not lose twice in a row.

CK Monsters get revenge for their defeat.

MONSTERS WIN THE 3RD MATCH

That pitch toward the torso worked.

-What?
-That pitch toward the torso worked.

It went in nicely.

RHEE DAE-EUN ENDS THE GAME
WITH A GREAT PITCH

GREAT JOB!

-Nice.
-Great job.

-Okay.
-Good game.

-We haven't done this in a while.
-Hips up.

THE HIP-FIVE OF JOY

I think I'll remember

today's game for a long time.

Everyone played as one.

It was the best game.

-Let's go.
-All right!

EVERYONE SHARES THE MOMENT OF JOY

My mind is blank.

I was just too worried.

Could I strike anyone out up there?

I was too nervous

to think of anything else.

But as I talk with my team
and pitch a few times,

I'm starting to get a hold of it.

HE OVERCAME HIS PAIN…

I'll be different.

AND BROUGHT VICTORY

I won't get worse or stay the same.

Great job today.

Good game.

Well, I had lots of thoughts.

I was actually recruited as a catcher,

and I was a prominent player.

But I wasn't a success as a catcher.

So that position as a catcher
always lingers in my heart.

But I had a chance
to play as a catcher today,

and the game went well,
so I'm feeling great.

I always want to win.

As long as I'm in uniform,

I do not want to lose to anybody

when it comes to baseball.

If it doesn't work, I'll make it work.

That's our destiny.

We were professional players.

I'm now 100 percent

a baseball player again.

I'm feeling alive.

When I retired,

I thought to myself,
"I never really liked baseball

all that much."

But as I began to play again

and win again,

I began to realize that I still love

playing baseball very much.

I STILL LOVE BASEBALL

Not even one.

-Good job.
-Good game.

Great game.

That was the best.

BASEBALL IS FUN WHEN YOU WIN

-Which one do you want?
-Try your best.

-No, not me.
-Seung-yuop is good.

-No.
-Line up, guys.

THE MONSTERS GIVE OUT AUTOGRAPHS

-Okay. Good game.
-Thank you.

THE MONSTERS GIVE OUT AUTOGRAPHS

Hey, I think you should
give me your autograph.

Hyun-in, give your autograph.
You were the best.

-Autograph? I can't do it.
-Give it here.

What do you mean? You must do it as a pro.

-Yes, he's picked on the first draft.
-The first draft.

-What? Hey.
-What?

A MESS

If that's your autograph,
it'll become firewood.

Hey, you're a great team.

You're better than the first round.

MANAGER LEE
DOESN'T HOLD BACK ON COMPLIMENTS

If we get another great chance like this,

we'll prepare even harder

and make sure we'll win.

We'll do our best.

Can you win if you play again?

We'll win 100 percent.

Mr. Jang, you still don't get
what Choongam is capable of.

-I promise you.
-Okay.

-Before this year is over,
-Yes.

-let's play one more match.
-Okay.

Please keep this a secret.

-Of course. I won't tell anyone.
-Okay.

It's just between us.

Okay. It's a promise.

It's a pinky promise. Let's take a photo.

-We're filming this.
-Are we rolling?

You have to get this.

CHAOS

Okay.

-A Clean Sweep, let's go!
-A Clean Sweep, let's go!

A CLEAN SWEEP, LET'S GO!

CK MONSTERS VERSUS
CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL

Goodness, I'm tired.

Carry me on your back.

CLAPPING FOR THEMSELVES

Gosh, we won.

EXHAUSTED

Goodness.

EXHAUSTED

THEY WON, BUT THEY LOOK TIRED

Come in.

Don't touch me. I'm about to die.

No, wait. Please.

Manager Lee, there's no need for words.

Well.

It was hard. It was tough.

I realized how strong
Korean amateur baseball teams are.

Our team did a great job,

but I want to commend
Choongam High than us.

-Let's give them a round of applause.
-Yes, let's do that.

-Agreed.
-Agreed.

-They're good.
-Agreed.

I agree. They hit my ball like that.

Our part-timer, Ju-won.
Can you share a word?

First off, I think I played
much harder than in my athlete days.

I'm glad I did something
to help out the team.

I also want to thank the entire team.

Come to think about it,

back in 2004, Ju-won and I were a battery.

We were reunited after 19 years.

REUNITED AS BATTERY IN 19 YEARS

-Ju-won, it's fate for you to join us.
-You can't leave.

Try to find something else.

More puzzle pieces. Nothing?

MANAGER YUOP DESPERATELY NEEDS
MORE PLAYERS

What do you do now?

(CHECKS HIS SCHEDULE FIRST)

This is official, right?

You can come as you like,
but you can't leave as you like.

-He can't.
-No.

You'll have a short meeting with me
right after we're done with this.

Is someone leaving?

ARE THE TWO PITCHING BROTHERS
THE FIRST TWO TO GO?

Don't worry about me.

Okay. Let me announce today's MVP.

ANNOUNCING TODAY'S MVP

We all know it.

The MVP of the third game
against Choongam is…

(IT'S YOU)

It was a unanimous decision.

EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS WHO IT IS

The man who dragged
all of his team to victory.

It's Ryu Hyun-in!

THE FUTURE OF MONSTERS, RYU HYUN-IN

THAT'S HYUN-IN

-Ryu Hyun-in!
-Ryu Hyun-in!

-Ryu Hyun-in!
-Ryu Hyun-in!

DANCE!

A DANCE CEREMONY
TO CELEBRATE AS THE MVP

Poke and poke.

HIS TEAMMATES ARE EVEN HAPPIER

He's adorable!

-You hit well.
-He hit two today.

You played very well. It was amazing.

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

Shortstop, third baseman,
and the left fielder.

The shortstop catches.

HE DEFENDED HIS TEAM
WITHOUT HOLDING BACK

Another fastball. It's a hit.

HE ALSO MADE AMAZING HITS

A perfect hit by Hyun-in.

Four for four.

TODAY'S HERO, RYU HYUN-IN

-Share the team of your choice.
-You're perfect.

Hyun-in, it's now you, not Jun-ho.

Yes, it's you now.

THE MANAGER IS ABOUT TO CRY

-You've done so well.
-Really.

-Really.
-You can stick this here later.

-Yes.
-Put this on. Great job.

-Nice job.
-You were so cool.

First off, I really wanted to be the MVP.

I played well during a game we had to win

and won the MVP too,
so I'm twice as happy.

I made great hits today

because Seong-hoon taught me good swings

before we began today.

-Don't say that.
-He gave me lots of advice.

I think that's why I did so well today.

Lastly, I want to play all 30 games

with all of my seniors.

HE FINISHES WITH AN ELOQUENT SPEECH

Man, that was amazing.

He's cute-looking too.

-All right!
-Hey.

RELAY HIGH-FIVE AS THE MVP

Good job.

I'm honored to be
the keystone with Hyun-in.

I'M HONORED TO BE
THE KEYSTONE WITH HYUN-IN

What did you tell him?

He stooped too much,

so I let him change his form.

Look.

You don't need to bend.

The more you bend,
the less you can turn your legs.

Okay.

When you swing,
turn your legs first, then swing.

Change your habit.

Yes, that's how it is.

Make sure you leave your hands behind.

He ended up doing well in the game,

and I'm very proud.

THANK YOU, SEONG-HOON

We won against Choongam, a tough team.

Once I mention your next opponent,
you'll know who they are.

The fourth team
Monsters will play against is

Bugil Academy of Cheonan.

BUGIL ACADEMY OF CHEONAN

Bugil of Cheonan?

DEEP SIGH

Why does he bring only tough teams?

Hoo! How?

-We play, throw, hit, and win!
-We play, throw, hit, and win!

My best speed is 153km/h.

We'll easily win by a called game.

TOP PITCHERS IN KOREA

My batting average is 0,48.

THEY CAN HIT STRONGLY TOO

I know we can definitely win.

THE STRONGEST TEAM
WITH A WIN RATE OF 87 PERCENT

-Salute!
-Bugil!

BUGIL ACADEMY

You're bursting our bubble again.

YOU'RE BURSTING OUR BUBBLE AGAIN…

You were the commentator.

-The game before that.
-The one before?

Three of their pitchers are
like mid-class professionals.

They have the best shortstop in Korea.

Their defense is insane.

Better than Hyun-in?

Prettier than Hyun-in's move.

Prettier?

FEELING SOMEHOW BITTER

A few days ago,
I met with Manager Lee Sang-kun.

He thinks there's 50-50 chance.

What do you think?

-I say 50-50.
-I see.

All of a sudden?

No one knows what will happen in a game
unless we actually play.

It's 50-50.

Our power will change
depending on how we get prepared.

One last note.

I'm here at this end,

designing and planning difficult missions.

Watching the team
overcome each task one after another

almost made me cry.

We have a total of 30 games.

I hope we end this season well

just as we promised at first.

HOPING THEY'LL DO WELL TO THE END

Now, as the general manager,

I promise to buy a team dinner.

HE PROMISES A TEAM DINNER

I LOVE TEAM DINNERS

You're so cool!

Did you hear Soo-chang?

He might not be able to go.
He might get fired.

He can get fired?

Turn it into a farewell dinner.

A farewell dinner?

A TEAM DINNER AND A FAREWELL DINNER?

Say something. Don't lose your spirit.

I'm ready to play into fall.

BASEBALL IS ABOUT GAMES IN FALL

It's the middle of summer.

Well, time flies.

LAUGHING

I got much better.

That's his buzzword.

His buzzword.

A NICE TEAM DINNER WITH MANAGER YUOP

THE 1ST
CK MONSTERS GET-TOGETHER

All right, let us begin

the first get-together of CK Monsters!

ALREADY EXCITED

First off, let's hear a speech and a toast

-by Manager Lee Seung-yuop.
-Me?

CLAPPING WITHOUT LOOKING

Our players played their best,

so we could keep the win percentage

of .700 in this friendly atmosphere.

Now, we cannot stop here.

Let's drink to the future of CK Monsters.

For the future of CK Monsters.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

(CHEERS)

The last match was too dramatic.

I felt bad for choosing just one MVP,

so I prepared a gift.

Luxury goods.

While you played as professionals,

do you remember revitalizing
with Korean pork?

I'll give you a Korean pork gift set.

-It's much better than that medal.
-It's a lot better.

-First one.
-I'm jealous.

-Park Yong-taek.
-Yes.

-Congratulations.
-All right!

(TOTALLY JEALOUS)

I can eat Korean pork every day
and not get sick of it. Thank you!

Thank you.

We can eat that now.

-What? No.
-Let's eat it now.

Let's eat pork, fill up on protein,

and please show
better, cooler performances.

I'm MC Yoo. Thank you.

I'M MC YOO!

Good work!

GOOD WORK

That looks good.

TIME TO EAT AS MUCH AS THEY LIKE

WHILE SHARING THEIR HEARTS

Isn't it great to play baseball?

-Yes, it's fun.
-Right?

TIME TO REPLENISH THEIR ENERGY

I don't like beef. I prefer pork.

Korean pork is delicious.

Korean pork is best
to replenish energy in summer.

Look at what they put up.

EVERYONE BOOS

CHUCKLES

What are you doing?

A REPORT OF THE ENTIRE MONSTERS

This is insane.

Wait, I told you
this earned run average is wrong!

I said this is wrong.

This is wrong!

You're ruining the mood.

This is wrong. This is 3,56.

My gosh, Won-sam, 1,69.

Hee-kwan, 1,86.

No, this is wrong.

Bring me the stat keeper.

-This is 3,56.
-Seung-jun, look below.

What? An ERA of 13,50?
Is that the body fat percentage?

ERA OF 13,50?
LIKE THE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE?

Your body fat percentage is 40.

TEASING EACH OTHER

Have you ever been hit by pork belly?

Jun-ho, you came down to 29 percent?

When did the batter
with 70 percent go down there?

You'll all go back to your places.

(BITTER…)

ONE PERSON IS DEEP IN THOUGHT
AS EVERYONE JOYFULLY CHATS

On this coming Thursday,

the production crew and I are
going to the hospital.

Does counseling help with yips?

-What? Yips?
-Yes.

If you accept the counseling,

it helps you.

If you go, "That's not me," it's no help.

Hey.

The same goes for baseball

and everything in life.

Something goes wrong
when you try to make everything better.

If you get even one thing out of it,

be satisfied with that and go home.

Then you come the next day
and get one thing, be satisfied.

That builds up over time
and gives you satisfaction.

Don't try to resolve it
in a short period of time.

Nothing in this world
can be done in a short period.

Right.

I joined this very casually.

-Exactly.
-Yes.

-I could see that at first.
-Yes.

But after I saw all of you play,

I couldn't be casual.

You joined us in the middle,

and I could see how casual you felt on TV.

After playing a few games here,

I realized my body wasn't like before.

I've never thrown like that
over my career in baseball.

So I wanted to do something.

I couldn't accept

how I only bring my team down.

I hope you find that something

before our show is over.

I'm sure I will.

In the end, a professional player
must show what he can do.

Do you get it?

Let's have a drink.

Thank you.

-I mean it.
-Yes.

AFTER THE CAMERAS GO OFF
AT THE GET-TOGETHER…

Although I'm done with baseball,

I still want to play well.

I thought, "This isn't a big deal."

But it's not like that.

It's not that for us players.

We're very concerned.

Look at how Seung-jun was

concerned over a point or two in his ERA.

We want to do well,
and we want to leave good records.

To be honest, if I had a better elbow,

WON-SAM HAD AN IMPRESSIVE CAREER

I know I can be the best.

-It's a shame.
-It's not possible now.

HIS HEART FOR BASEBALL
IS STILL THE SAME

AFTER THE 3RD MATCH AGAINST CHOONGAM…

THE LIGHTS IN THE BULLPEN ARE STILL ON

EVERYONE LEFT,
BUT SOO-CHANG STAYS BEHIND

CAN HE PROUDLY STAND
ON THE MOUND ONCE AGAIN?

8 GAMES 6 WINS 2 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE .750

THE FIRST MATCH
AGAINST BUGIL ACADEMY OF CHEONAN

LIKE A CANNONBALL, STRIKE

It felt like a cannonball.

STRIKEOUT

STRIKEOUT

VERY EASILY, STRIKEOUT

Darn it.

BUGIL ACADEMY HAS THE BEST PITCHERS

THE STARTING PITCHER OF MONSTERS,
SHIM SOO-CHANG

STRIKEOUT

STRIKEOUT LOOKING, STRIKEOUT

A grounder. The shortstop runs.

To the first base.

Ryu Hyun-in's double play!

THE TWO TEAMS SHOW
EXCELLENT BATTLE BETWEEN PITCHERS

IRON WALL DEFENSE

Another hit. To the center-left.

Left fielder, shortstop.

HE CAUGHT THIS?

-He catches the ball.
-Park Yong-taek.

THEY'RE IN NEED OF A TROUBLESHOOTER
WHO CAN TEAR DOWN THE IRON WALL

It's about time he came. Yong-taek.

-Okay!
-Let's go!

Two balls, two strikes. Park Yong-taek.

It's a hit.

Where will it fly to?

A CLEAN SWEEP
