FOUNDING OF CK MONSTERS

THEIR FIRST MATCH IS DUKSOO HIGH,
THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAM

IT'S TOO STRONG
TO BE THE FIRST OPPONENT

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO HIT
THE DUKSOO PITCHER'S BALLS?

AS PREDICTED

A strikeout without a swing.

HIS BODY WON'T LISTEN

I CAN'T HIT THE BALL

HIS ARMS AREN'T THE WAY THEY USED TO BE



FACING CRISIS FROM THE START

YONG-TAEK, HELP ME

STRIKEOUT

Jeez.

HE'S A LEGEND,
BUT HE CAN'T PLAY LIKE ONE

ON THE OTHER HAND,

IT'S A TIE WITH A SCORE OF 3 TO 3!

ABOUT TO TURN THE TABLE AROUND

I NEED TO STOP THEM

I NEED TO HIT

WHO WILL BE THE FINAL WINNER?

People who watch this match may wonder

if this really is a variety show.

-It's just war.
-It is.

Jeong Keun-woo's timely hit makes a tie.

It's now three to three.

Jeong Keun-woo is on first.

THE FORERUNNER OF THE WAR
HEADS TO THE BATTER'S BOX

CAPTAIN TAEK IS
THE ALL-TIME CAREER HIT LEADER IN KBO

IS ANOTHER POWERFUL PLAYER

SHIM JUN-SEOK IS
THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL PITCHER

SUPER ROOKIE VS LEGEND

Goodness.

SWINGS AND MISSES

It was too late.

THE LEGEND MISSES

What am I doing?

-His bat can't follow.
-Wasn't that a ball?

It was hard to tell.

It's not so great when he throws a ball,

but his power is advantageous
when it's a strike.

The spin is very fierce.

I'LL HIT IT THIS TIME NO MATTER WHAT!

-He runs.
-He runs out.

Jeong Keun-woo slides head-first. Safe.

He slides head-first.

JEONG KEUN-WOO IS INSANE

HE STARTS TO RUN
AS SOON AS JUN-SEOK PITCHES

JEONG KEUN-WOO FLIES!

FLYING

KEUN-WOO TOUCHES THE BASE FIRST

THE SECOND BASEMAN TOUCHED KEUN-WOO
AFTER 0,2 SECONDS

Jeong Keun-woo, the 41-year-old player,

successfully steals a base
after 664 days of hiatus.

It's amazing to see
these legendary players

sliding their way into the bases.

Once again, CK Monsters can score,

so once again,
we're in need of short hits.

-Yes.
-The runner is on the second.

THEY CAN TURN THE TABLE WITH A HIT

IT ALL DEPENDS ON CAPTAIN TAEK!

I spotted the ball.

I wanted to hit it really hard.

I WANTED TO HIT IT REALLY HARD

CAPTAIN TAEK WANTS A LONG HIT
AGAINST THE SUPER ROOKIE

SWINGS HARD AND MISSES

It's tough for his bat to follow.

(LET'S STRIKE HIM OUT!)

CHANGE-OF-INNINGS
AFTER ONE MORE STRIKE

JUN-SEOK REACHED A FAVORABLE COUNT

WILL THE LIVING LEGEND YONG-TAEK
FALL LIKE THIS?

Park Yong-taek leaves the box

and practices his swing,
then returns to the box.

Be bold. Get out there.

BE BOLD
SWING THE BAT!

Park Yong-taek, a 44-year-old.

He's up against the 19-year-old Shim.

THE MONSTERS' CAPTAIN YONG-TAEK
HAS TO HIT AND TURN THE TABLE

THE MONSTROUS PITCHER JUN-SEOK
HAS TO STOP HIM FROM DOING THAT

YONG-TAEK VERSUS JUN-SEOK
WHO WILL WIN?

HE HITS!

IT'S BIG!

I can't see it.

IT'S BIG! COULD IT BE?

THE BALL FLIES HIGH

LF and SS see the ball.

The left fielder catches the ball.
The inning's over.

Han Kyeong-been's sacrifice
and Jeong Keun-woo's hit

made the game a tie. It's three to three.

The game starts over again.

THE 4TH INNING IS OVER

I screamed too much. I was too into it.

Hey.

There could be a walk-off today.

HE'S INTO A CLEAN SWEEP TOO

Isn't this like a real baseball game?

-This is so much fun.
-It is.

YES, IT'S REAL BASEBALL

It's…

It's such a great game.

The game begins now.

TOP OF THE 5TH INNING

It's CK Monsters
versus Duksoo High School.

Yoo Hee-kwan takes the mound again.

Let's go!

-All right. Let's go!
-Let's go!

COME ON…

Go!

HITTING THE FIRST PITCH!

In front!

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL'S ATTACK
IS THREATENING

He hits the first pitch.
It goes to the center.

-Center fielder runs.
-Good!

-He knows where it'll fall exactly.
-Okay.

TAEK-KEUN, NICE

1 OUT

Eun-hwan.

Tell them about the ball you hit.

-Yes, sir.
-Was it a changeup?

It swerved toward me.

-Tell them about the timing.
-Yes, sir.

It's slow, but it changes a lot.

How does it change?

-It's a fastball, but it's not straight.
-Let's go.

-It drops.
-Really?

SLOW AESTHETIC
YOO HEE-KWAN GETS READY!

It's number nine hitter Kim Jae-hyeong.

-Hee-kwan throws a slow ball.
-Good job.

He swung too fast.

It's hard to see a pitch of 98km/h.

-He probably thought
-Yes.

it was too easy.

IT'S HARD TO HIT
YOO HEE-KWAN'S SLOW BALL

It's another foul. It was 114km/h.

It was good timing.

-All right. Go.
-Let's go!

I'LL HIT THE BALL THIS TIME

WILL HE BE ABLE TO HIT THE BALL?

-Strike!
-He threw it low!

A SHARP PITCH MAKES 2 OUTS!

He struck him out.

WHAT A CRAZY PITCH

That was great.

It's not an ordinary ball!

SHOUTING

It's two outs.

DUKSOO 3 : 3 MONSTERS

THERE'S ONLY ONE OUT LEFT

All right.

TRYING TO BUNT

Posing to bunt.

It's a slow breaking ball at 98km/h.
He can't bunt.

"If you try to bunt, I'll throw slower."

Hee-kwan is able to play with the ball.

That's a form for throwing a fastball.

A batter looks at the pitcher's leg
to swing the bat.

A WINDUP PITCH

A slide step is quick like that.

-Batters get taken aback.
-Yes.

Batters will wonder
when the pitcher will throw the ball.

HEE-KWAN PLAYS WITH THE BATTERS

He lifts his leg up again.

It's a strike.

HIS PITCH OVERWHELMS THE OPPONENT

THIS IS CRAZY

WITH ANOTHER STRIKE,
THE INNING WILL BE OVER

WILL HE HIT?

OR WILL HE FINISH?

Let's go.

A breaking ball! He misses! Strikeout!

FINISHING THE INNING CLEAN!

SIGH…

He finishes the inning neatly.

STUPEFIED

That was pitcher Yoo Hee-kwan.

HE PROVES HIMSELF

-Nice.
-Good job.

GREAT JOB

Hee-kwan, that was comfortable.

Hee-kwan, they don't know
when to hit your balls.

HE'S THE LIVING LEGEND

Now, it's the bottom of the fifth inning.

Duksoo High School's Shim Jun-seok
let the Monsters catch up.

He'll continue to pitch.

HE CRUSHED EVERYONE
WITH HIS PITCHING SPEED

Shim Jun-seok.

THE LEGENDS COULDN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT HIS FAST PITCH

Now, Jung Eui-yoon takes the batter's box.

The Monsters need a home run.

This is when they need it the most.

Let's score this time.

CLOSE TO THE BATTER!

It was thrown close to the batter.

It was 148km/h.

You need to get to first base!

Go low!

THE BALL IS THROWN
CLOSE TO THE BATTER AGAIN

He was hit.

-No.
-Wasn't he?

Last time, Jun-seok was flustered

when he took the mound.

-Here, he needs to control himself.
-Yes.

Okay. Here it comes.

THIS TIME THE BALL
GOES TOWARD THE HEAD!

THE WHOLE TEAM IS SHOCKED

No.

MIXED FEELINGS

I wanted to change the atmosphere.

But I became stiffer.

That caused me to make more mistakes.

-Side.
-Hey!

BASE ON BALLS!

-Hey!
-Outside. Four balls.

The batter receives four balls
and walks to first base.

-Good job.
-Jung Eui-yoon

can turn the tables around.

THE 4TH BATTER JUNG EUI-YOON

-The manager walks up to the pitcher.
-Yes.

You can't control the ball, can you?

I feel pressed.

I know. You did well. Go in.

-He's substituting the pitcher.
-That's it for him.

Shim Jun-seok couldn't stay on the mound.

Pitchers are switched.

This is Duksoo High School's closer.

-It's Lee Ye-hak.
-Yes.

He's quickly making
the good pitcher's throw.

If they lose another point,

it could be disastrous.

He's pitching in the fifth inning.

-They're that desperate.
-Yes.

A CLOSER ALREADY?

-Jeez.
-Look at his thighs.

FORMIDABLE PHYSIQUE

He's huge.

Look at his butt.

-Lee Hong-ku takes the batter's box.
-Let's go, Hong-ku!

NO OUTS AND FIRST BASE

GETTING READY TO PITCH

STRIKE

He swings.

(JEEZ…)

-Nice!
-It's okay!

He hits the ball and it flies high.
It's a foul.

That was close.

SUDDENLY THE MONSTERS ARE
FEELING ANXIOUS

-Okay!
-He swings and misses!

THE DECISIVE PITCH
DISCOURAGES THE MONSTERS

-Okay!
-Nice!

WE'RE ON A ROLL

-Okay.
-Good.

THEY BECOME NERVOUS

We're in trouble. He's good.

Lee Hong-ku is stuck out.

Lee Ye-hak has the guts.
He threw a four-seam fastball.

He's taking on
the professional baseball players.

You can see why he's Duksoo's closer.

He has the guts.

BRING IT ON!

FROM NOW ON

IT'S LEE YE-HAK'S

SHOWTIME

HE HITS!

He got it.

DRAWING ATTENTION

-Go!
-Jeez.

-He got it.
-It's a hit.

That was an ambiguous hit.
First baseman catches it.

-Yes!
-Good!

GREAT JOB

-Did you do it?
-Yes.

MANAGER JUNG IS FINALLY SMILING AGAIN

CK Monsters got two outs helplessly.

Manager Lee Seung-yuop
probably thought of turning the tables.

There's only one out left.

It's Jeong Seong-hoon.

-Here.
-Show him.

He misses. Strikeout!

LEE YE-HAK CRUSHED THEM

DUKSOO GOT THE MOMENTUM

-Nice!
-Let's go!

Ye-hak, you're the ace these days.

CK Monsters could not score.

I was actually nervous.
It was emotionally challenging.

I thought about how to play the game out.

It's the top of the sixth inning.

They're still tied at three to three.

It's number two batter Lee Seung-won.

LONG HITS AND FAST SWING SPEED

-Lee Seung-won!
-Go!

For the first time,
this place is growing silent.

The Monsters couldn't score
in the previous inning.

They have to be careful.

Let's go!

HE HITS!

He hits. The ball flies high.

NO…

He hits. The ball flies high.

Center fielder. Left fielder moves

and catches the ball. Jung Eui-yoon.

It's one out.

JU JUNG-HWAN, SHORTSTOP
WON BONGHWANGDAEGI MVP

Yoo Hee-kwan stays calm.

He hits.

LOOKING NERVOUS

He hits.

IT DROPS IN FRONT OF RF

It's important to win

-for these high school students.
-Yes.

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL IS ON A ROLL

THE MONSTERS ARE FACING A CRISIS

Let's win.

LET'S WIN…

I HAVE TO CHANGE THE RUN OF THE GAME

After one out,
the batter hit and got to first base.

Baek Jun-seo is extremely good at hitting.

HE'S GOOD AT HITTING THE BALL HARD

A TIMELY HITTER THAT MADE A TIE!

DUKSOO'S NUMBER FOUR BATTER
BAEK JUN-SEO

THE RUNNER ON FIRST BASE
JU JUNG-HWAN

A PICKOFF ATTEMPT

Throwing to first base.

GASP…

He's left-handed,

so the runner on first base
will have a hard time stealing a base.

A runner is on first base.

THE RUNNER MOVES AWAY AGAIN

HEE-KWAN KEEPS THE RUNNER
CLOSE TO THE BASE

If he keeps him close to the base
and throws a sinker,

he'll induce a ground ball.

That's right.
Then, he'll make a double play.

A GROUND BALL WILL LEAD
TO A DOUBLE PLAY

WILL HIS PLAN SUCCEED?

A GROUND BALL DROPS
IN FRONT OF THE PITCHER

HE THROWS IT TO SECOND BASE FIRST

It's a ground ball. The pitcher gets it.

He throws it to second base.
Then to first base.

SECOND BASE OUT THEN FIRST BASE!

NO WAY

IS IT A DOUBLE PLAY?

It's a ground ball. The pitcher got it.

He throws it to second base.
Then to first base.

The first base is out too!

A PERFECT DOUBLE PLAY!

Yoo Hee-kwan roars.

I TRUSTED YOU!

The first base is out too!

It's CK Monsters' first double play!

GROANING…

DUMBFOUNDED

This is it.

He threw a sinker
and induced a ground ball.

Hee-kwan and Keun-woo
threw the ball perfectly.

Hee-kwan got

the first double play of CK Monsters.

There could've been a crisis,
but he cleared it.

Look at him roar with his teammates.

SUPER EXCITED

The players'

focus and their love for baseball
are sincere.

THEIR FOCUS AND LOVE
FOR BASEBALL ARE SINCERE

-Good work.
-He played perfect defense,

striking out three batters.

Why did you retire?

-Good job.
-Well done.

Who made him retire?
Why did they make him retire?

The way Hee-kwan controls the ball is art.

He's great at controlling
the strength of his pitch.

But we need to get on base quickly.

Because whether we hit
or they make a mistake,

we need to get on first, second,
third bases, and touch the home plate.

Getting on base was the goal.

The new inning has begun.

Seo Dong-wook is the first batter.

HE MUST GET ON BASE

Today, Dong-wook had a hit.

LAST WEEK, DONG-WOOK WAS
THE FIRST BATTER

AGGRESSIVE SWING

SEO DONG-WOOK'S SWING IS STILL SHARP

Dong-wook is really great
at hitting the balls.

-He is.
-Yes.

Let him hit. Okay?

Eun-hwan!

DEFENSE IS ADJUSTED
BECAUSE OF DONG-WOOK

MANAGER JUNG PUSHED THE DEFENSE BACK

In the front.

A SUDDEN POSE TO BUNT!

Good!

What just happened?

It was a surprise bunt.

Because the defense moved back a little.

I told you he hits far.

They thought he'd hit.

Forward. Come forward.

THE INFIELDERS ARE SHAKEN

Dong-wook is a clever player
with a lot of pro baseball experience,

and he's showing off his talent here.

2 BALLS

He sorts out the low pitch.

DONG-WOOK HAS A SHARP BATTING EYE

My goal was to get on base.

So I looked at the pitch carefully
until the end.

-Strike.
-It's an outside edge strike.

YE-HAK ISN'T AN EASY MATCH

Ye-hak throws really well. I'm serious.

A FIERCE BALL COUNT GAME

It's two balls and one strike.

DUKSOO 3 : 3 MONSTERS

He hits. It's a foul.

Two balls, two strikes.

HE'S OUT WITH ONE MORE STRIKE

-The Monsters need a point.
-Yes.

Dong-wook has to get on base.

We need to score.

DESPERATE

It was outside the strike zone.

3 BALLS

-Good!
-Nice.

It's a full count.
It'll all come down to the count.

At least one more point.

I really wanted to win.

We have to fight to achieve
.700 winning percentage.

WE HAVE TO FIGHT

THE ONE THING EVERYBODY WANTS IS

VICTORY

THE GAME WILL BE DECIDED BY ONE BALL

Hey.

Give me five.

Good job!

Awesome!

EXTREMELY TOUCHED

I was happier when he hit a home run
than when I did.

MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP

Seriously… This is…

I'm really touched.

It's beyond words.

How did all these players get together?

How did you make this show?

Seriously…

I'm speechless.

Great job!

Hey.

HIS HOME RUN BROKE THE TENSION

Good job.

You're good.

SEO DONG-WOOK DID IT

Unbelievable!

SCREAMING

You did a great job!

Amazing.

CRYING…

I'm crying.

I got something in my eye

just when I was moved. What timing.

It's touching. I'm touched.

The home run turned the tables.

SPORTSCASTER JEONG YONG-GEOM

It was like the Beijing Olympics,

-the WBC, and Premier12.
-Right.

The dugout reminded me of them.

I told you a fastball was dangerous.

But Dong-wook is such a great hitter.

I wasn't sure
if it was going to be a home run.

But he hit an amazing home run.

SEO DONG-WOOK HIT A HOME RUN

He hit a home run
after 1,683 days of hiatus.

Seo Dong-wook hits the first home run

for CK Monsters in Gocheok Sky Dome.

HE HITS!

It's a sharp hit toward the fence!

BACK-TO-BACK HOME RUN?

NO…

Toward the fence!

IT'S A FOUL BALL

It goes outside.

NO

It's a foul ball.

SCREAMING(?)

HE'S ABOUT TO LOSE HIS COMPOSURE

It was a foul ball home run.

SHOCKED
A FOUL BALL HOME RUN…

Duksoo High School is facing a crisis.

YE-HAK HAS TO STOP THE FLOW

A STRIKE CLOSE TO THE BODY

A PERFECT PITCH

That was a strike. It's a strikeout.

GOOD! LET'S GO!

Good.

YE-HAK STOPPED THE ADDITIONAL POINTS

He allowed a home run,

but he's still very focused. That's great.

Ye-hak is continuing to throw great balls.

The Monsters is only one point ahead.
That's not safe.

The flow is going to change

depending on their hits.

-Now it's Han Kyeong-been.
-Let's get a point.

SUPER FOCUSED

A HIT!

It's a hit!

The left fielder misses the ball.

-He missed it.
-He missed the ball.

-Go! Run!
-Run!

-He runs to second base.
-Run!

No!

That was a technical hit.
Han Kyeong-been did it.

SIGH…

-It was a difficult hit.
-It was.

Left fielder Bae Eun-hwan
ran over aggressively

and dove in to catch the ball.
It was a good try.

Still, the ball fell short.
He couldn't catch it.

A runner is on second base,
in a scoring position.

IN A SCORING POSITION

Jeong Keun-woo is in the batter's box.

Keun-woo, let's go!

A GREAT CHANCE TO SCORE EXTRA POINTS

HE HITS! HE'S RUNNING!

Run!

He hits the ball. The shortstop moves.

He catches the ball. To first base.

-Safe!
-On first base. It's safe!

SAFE!

SIGH…

This is a result of a hustle play.

When a batter sprints,
the outfielders get pressed.

So the pass went too high. He was safe.

-He can run.
-He's good.

HE CAN STILL RUN

-You can run.
-You're good.

It's one out.
Runners are on third and first base.

They have a chance to score extra points.

A CHANCE TO SCORE POINTS

It's number three batter Park Yong-taek.

Right now,
he really needs to hit and score.

Of course.

It's about time he scores.

Ye-hak has been very calm.

It's one out.
Runners are on first and third bases.

He can't help but be shaken.

1 BALL

2 BALLS

The ball goes far outside.

The ball goes toward the batter.

With four balls, the bases are now full.

DUKSOO FACES THE WORST CRISIS

They made another chance to score.

The bases are loaded,
and Jung Eui-yoon has a chance to score.

NUMBER FOUR BATTER JUNG EUI-YOON

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL IN A CRISIS

VERSUS THE MONSTERS WITH A CHANCE

Eui-yoon, please.

ONE-ON-ONE BATTLE

STRIKE

Be calm.

NERVOUS

Eui-yoon was looking to hit a home run.

-Now, he has to do a push hit.
-Yes.

The pitcher is perfectly at an advantage.

THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE TO THE PITCHER

Manager Lee Seung-yuop put the most trust

in Eui-yoon.

HE HITS!

He hits the ball!

It flies to the outfield. It's a hit.

A SATISFYING HIT

He's getting on base.

-Go!
-Run!

-Go!
-Run!

The runners on third and second bases
get to the home plate.

They came in!

That hit was worth two points!

CAPTAIN TAEK RUNS TO 3RD BASE!

Good!

THEY CONQUER THE FIELD
WITH A TIMELY HIT WORTH 2 POINTS!

(SHUTTING HIS EYES)

Number four hitter Jung Eui-yoon did it!

WE'RE CK MONSTERS!

IT'S EXHILARATING

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

-Good job.
-Unbelievable.

IT'S A PARTY

That's what a number four hitter is.

The manager trusted Jung Eui-yoon fully

and picked him as the number four batter.

It was an unfavorable count.

But he focused on hitting the ball
and did a push hit.

Number four hitter Jung Eui-yoon.

He sure is a problem solver!

CK Monsters add two more points.

The score is six to three.
They're three points ahead.

There are runners
on third and first bases.

Lee Hong-ku is up next.

It's important to get another point.

Right.

-At least one more point.
-Hong-ku, let's get one more.

Duksoo is facing a crisis.

Will the closer

Lee Ye-hak put an end to this?

-He withdraws the bat.
-What's going on?

IT'S A RUNDOWN!

-He withdraws the bat. It's a rundown!
-It is!

WHAT?

-What?
-He can't see.

PARK YONG-TAEK RUNS
TOWARD HOME PLATE

HE THREW THE BALL

WHAT?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT? WHAT'S GOING ON?

What's wrong?

Go in!

HE TOUCHES THE HOME PLATE!

He withdraws the bat.

It's a rundown!

To the home plate! He's in!

HE RIPPED IT

The runner on third base scores.

IT'S INSANE!

He did it.

ANGRY

This isn't right.

THIS IS WRONG!

Jeez.

HE'S ABOUT TO LOSE IT

Go in!

JUNG EUI-YOON GOES TO SECOND BASE!

Park Yong-taek

slid head first and scored!

Park Yong-taek was in a pickle.

When the catcher quickly threw the ball,

-he saw that and ran.
-That's experience.

The third baseman was taken aback.

I WAS COOL!

He played over 2,000 games.

That experience helped him score.

He scored with his feet.

-Nice!
-Good job.

-That was a strategy.
-Well done.

A strategy.

They gained another point.

The score is seven to three.

3 BALLS

Ye-hak was close to perfect,
but now he's shaken.

NOW IS THE CHANCE

That was four balls straight.

Lee Hong-ku walks to first base.

MANAGER JUNG HAS A LOT ON HIS MIND

Another change?

(KEEPING EYES FORWARD)

Is he going to change pitchers?

Yes.

Lee Ye-hak, who worked hard,
is leaving the mound with regrets.

The pitcher is replaced.

Lee Ji-hwan is on the mound.

He throws fastballs,
sliders, and breaking balls.

THE MONSTERS STAY ALERT

Lee Taek-keun is ready to bat.

No!

TRYING TO STEAL 3RD BASE!

-Run!
-No!

THE CATCHER THROWS

-He runs.
-Stealing third base!

He goes on third base first.

Quickly!

EUI-YOON STOLE THE BASE PERFECTLY!

THE GAME BECOMES FAVORABLE
TO THE MONSTERS

Did anyone think that
Eui-yoon would steal the base?

I thought he was pushing it.

He could've been tagged out
if the ball went straight.

CK Monsters' great offense

and the clever base running.

That brought down four pitchers.

That's right.

The ball lands outside.

It's four balls. A base on balls.

Again, the bases are loaded.

ALL BASES ARE LOADED

WE CAN'T GO DOWN LIKE THIS

Throw it toward the body.

-Toward the body.
-Do it.

Just do it.

The bases are loaded. Jeong Seong-hoon.

HE HITS!

Run!

He hits.

The ball flies toward third base.

NO…

The runner on third base
runs to home plate.

Lee Hong-ku is running.

Run!

Also, the runner on second base

touches the home plate.

TOUCHING THE HOME BASE!

Good!

Jeong Seong-hoon's hit
was worth two points.

JEONG SEONG-HOON'S 2-POINT HIT!

That was an amazing hit.

-Let's go!
-Good job!

WE'RE THE BEST!

-Good work!
-Well done!

My legs didn't move.

Now, it's nine to three.

The Monsters are six points ahead.

MONSTERS 9 : 3 DUKSOO

If the Monsters score four points

in this inning, it'll be a called game.

That's right. Somebody has to

change the atmosphere for Duksoo.

How are we looking at a called game?

-I never imagined.
-We…

We were all so worried.

Every hit is affecting the Monsters.

Duksoo is facing a difficult situation.

HE HITS AGAIN!

The ball is flying high.

Shortstop!

Ju Jung-hwan catches the fly ball
in Gocheok Sky Dome.

RELIEVED

-Good.
-Okay.

NICE, NICE!

Only one out left.

Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

HE HITS!

Slowly.

The ball flies high.

The right fielder waits for it

and catches it. Three outs.

CK Monsters scored six points

in the sixth inning.

Now, CK Monsters is playing
the seventh inning.

Duksoo will play offense
at the top of the seventh inning.

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

Let's do it.

-Yoo Hee-kwan is still pitching.
-He's perfect.

Let's go, Hee-kwan!

STRIKE

GETTING A HEAD START

It's art.

Please!

-Get on base!
-Let's go!

2ND PITCH

STRIKE

THAT'S INSANE

It's 82km/h.

SUPER SLOW AND TRICKY PITCH

This… The bat…

The ball arrives after he swings the bat.

It's 82km/h.

You need a good touch.

-That's really difficult.
-Right.

He must've practiced a lot.

He swings and misses. A strikeout.

Hee-kwan got four strikeouts.

SIGH…

Now…

He's sending signs to the catcher.

-They changed catchers.
-They changed them.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Yoon Jun-ho is Lee Hong-ku's backup.

Hong-ku is…

-First baseman.
-He's sent to first base.

He's replacing Jeong Seong-hoon.

-I keep having a cramp.
-Seong-hoon.

-It's not serious, is it?
-No.

EVERY INJURY BRING THEM
CLOSER TO 10 LOSSES

It's because he hasn't played in a while.

-It's inevitable.
-Yes.

BAM(?)

I'LL PROTECT DUKSOO

-Okay.
-Yes.

-Okay.
-Yes.

-It's a hit.
-Nice play.

DUKSOO GOES ON 1ST BASE

Good.

-Let's go.
-Go for it.

Good hit.

It's a good hit.

After one out, Kim Tae-hyeong hit.

One out, runner on first base.

Park Sang-heon is the next batter.

FOUL

It slips off. It's a foul.

The batter will think
that the foul ball he hit earlier

is the same as the ball
that fell slightly outside.

But as soon as he touches the ball,

it'll be a ground ball,
and it'll lead to a double play.

He's serious about this.

WILL HIS STRATEGY WORK AGAIN?

Go!

THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD…

It's a ground ball.

Yoo Hee-kwan catches it.
To second base. And to first base.

-Okay!
-It's another double play.

He caught it again.

WHAT? HE CAUGHT IT AGAIN…

HELPLESS

Hee-kwan made two double plays.

He closes the inning.

-It's another double play.
-Nice!

AMAZING PERFORMANCE

BOTTOM OF 7TH INNING
THE MONSTERS' OFFENSE

-Han Kyeong-been hits.
-Run!

First base. The runner is out.

The catcher and first baseman run.

A foul fly. First baseman catches it.

He hits the breaking ball.
Right fielder catches it.

Three outs.

Yoo Hee-kwan will go back on the mound.

He threw only 36 pitches.

HEE-KWAN THREW 36 BALLS ONLY

Isn't he amazing?

Bae Eun-hwan is at bat.

BALL

What's wrong with his leg?

-What's wrong?
-What's wrong with him?

-Trainer.
-Se-hun!

What's wrong? What is it?

LEG INJURY?

What is it? What's wrong?

His calf.

-Jeez.
-What's wrong?

-I almost pulled my hamstring.
-Did you?

-Yes.
-I'm okay now.

-Take it slow.
-Okay.

I thought you pulled it.

WILL HE BE ABLE TO PITCH?

-I'll try pitching.
-Take it slow.

NODDING

Is he okay?

-He says he's okay.
-Yes.

-Once he has a cramp, he'll have it again.
-Okay.

The next pitcher should get ready.

Hey, warm up quickly.

ONLY 2 PITCHERS LEFT

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL HAS A GOOD CHANCE

HE HITS!

-Go back!
-Back.

It's a hit.

He hits a slow ball.

It slips. It's a fly ball.

-It's ambiguous. Center fielder.
-A fly ball!

Lee Taek-keun catches it.

The ruler of center field Taek-keun
helps Hee-kwan out.

NICE, TAEK-KEUN

When did Taek-keun get back in shape?

It looks like he ran about 30 to 40m.

Taek-keun covers
an extensive defense area.

Timeout.

-Good job, Hee-kwan.
-Yes.

-He did really well.
-He did.

On the mound,
he didn't allow any earned run.

-He showed a perfect pitch.
-Are you okay?

-This is it for him.
-I almost pulled it.

HEE-KWAN SHOWED
HOW HE WON 101 GAMES

-I almost pulled my hamstring.
-It's okay.

Don't overdo it. You did great.

-Ice it.
-Hee-kwan, ice it.

Now, the third pitcher of CK Monsters,

-Song Seung-jun takes the mound.
-Nice.

He threw three consecutive shutouts,

so he's called Song Sam-bong.
He was the best pitcher.

He has a record of 109 wins in KBO.

Song Seung-jun is on the mound.

Duksoo has to change the flow of the game.

They'll use a pinch hitter
in place of Kim Jae-hyeong.

They're determined to fight until the end.

This player has a batting average of .667

-this season.
-He's amazing.

FIRST PITCH, STRIKE

It's a fastball at 137km/h.

WHAT DID WE SEE?

WE TRUST YOU, SONG SAM-BONG

-Good!
-It sounded like a cannonball.

(SMILING)

2ND PITCH, STRIKE AS EXPECTED

The pitching speed is 138km/h.

A 43-year-old pitcher

is showing this kind of pitch
on the field for CK Monsters.

I'm in love.

Seung-yuop's pride isn't the batters,

but the pitchers.

FAVORABLE BALL COUNT

Let's go!

Go for it!

The ball goes downward. He hits.

Uncaught third strike.

He throws it to first base. He's out.

-Nice.
-The last pitch

was Song Seung-jun's splitter, his pride.

-Yes.
-It was perfect.

FINISHING WITH A PERFECT SPLITTER

It's back to the top batters.

It's number one batter Lee Jun-seo.

Today he had a hit.

-Strike.
-It's a strike.

-A pitching speed of 138km/h.
-Amazing.

Seung-jun's pitch is still alive.

2ND PITCH

FLY BALL

He hits. It slides off the bat
and flies high.

-It's an ambiguous course.
-Here.

-Teamwork is important.
-I got it!

Left fielder takes care of it.

Three outs.

The pitcher played perfect defense
in the top of the eighth inning.

That was Song Seung-jun.

HE'S LIKE AN IMPENETRABLE SHIELD

See how they communicate.

-Nice job.
-Good work.

You're still alive.

Jeez.

Why didn't you throw a curveball?

I can't throw curveballs.

If you throw after me,
your pitch looks faster.

I'll throw 145km/h in June.

Look at Seung-jun's pitch.

JEEZ

I'll go down and apologize.

I'll kneel down and apologize
as soon as the game is over.

I knew it'd be this way.

You said they couldn't win.

-When did I?
-When we were next door.

Was it recorded? No, right?

I said this would happen.

Was I wearing a microphone? No, I wasn't.

STUPEFIED

Duksoo versus CK Monsters.

This is the top of the ninth inning.

Good job.

Han-gyeol, you're good.

JEONG JI-HO, PITCHER
PARK HAN-GYEOL, CATCHER

Get in quickly.

It's our last offense.
Let's score at least one point.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Now, we have the last pitcher
of CK Monsters.

The fourth pitcher, Jang Won-sam.

CK Monsters have four pitchers.

There is no more pitcher
after Jang Won-sam.

Suddenly I'm scared.

Will he get three outs?

It's Jang Won-sam.

Pinch hitter Lee Tae-gyeong at bat.

Let's go, Won-sam.

Won-sam, go.

LET'S SCORE A POINT

-You can do it.
-Go for it.

SWING AND MISS, STRIKE

Good job.

ANOTHER FAST BALL, STRIKE

GOOD

-Lee Tae-gyeong, let's go!
-Let's go!

-You can do it!
-You can hit it!

-Do it.
-You can do it.

-Tae-gyeong, let's go.
-Go for it.

The bat broke.

THE BAT BROKE!

The ball broke the bat.

Because it's slightly curved.

He hit the slider that slightly curved.

Tae-gyeong, let's go.

STILL AT AN ADVANTAGE

-You can do it.
-Tae-gyeong, let's go.

STRIKEOUT

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

Jang Won-sam's first pitch
with CK Monsters was a strikeout.

GOOD BALL

With Song Seung-jun,

he won the gold medal
at the Beijing Olympics

-as a national athlete.
-Right.

He won 121 games in total.

TWO OUTS LEFT
UNTIL CK MONSTER'S FIRST WIN

-Bring it on.
-Let's go.

THE NEXT PINCH HITTER IS PARK JUN-SUN

Go!

It's a ground ball. Second baseman.

Jeong Keun-woo throws it to first base.

He's out.

CK Monsters

-has one out left until their first win.
-It's okay.

It's the first game as a manager.

Also, today's the opening game
of A Clean Sweep.

Yes, it's an honor
to be watching this game.

Of course.

THERE IS ONLY 1 OUT LEFT

He's against pinch hitter Kim Dong-uk.

It's the last out of the day.

Dong-uk, let's go!

-Let's go!
-Good luck!

STRIKE

-Okay!
-Be confident.

-Dong-uk!
-Kim Dong-uk!

Good luck.

-Strike.
-It's a strike.

It's another strike.

He's after the last out count of the day.

WITH ONE MORE STRIKE,
THE GAME WILL BE OVER

There is only one strike left.
Jang Won-sam.

Good luck!

-The bat!
-Swing.

IS IT A STRIKEOUT

OR A BALL?

WHAT'S THE RESULT?

-Strike.
-It's a swing. It's over.

The game ended with a strikeout.

CK Monsters' first game
is decorated with a victory.

-Nice!
-Good job!

-Good work!
-Well done!

-Good job.
-Good job.

I looked down on the legend players.

They prepared a lot.

Especially the base running.
They ran like when they were players.

They could do that
because they worked out.

They couldn't just do it. I was surprised.

They did their best
as if they were still playing.

I was inspired by that.

I wasn't just happy.

MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP

I became emotional.

I felt like I didn't do anything.

The players worked so hard.

Today, I felt emotions that I haven't felt

when I played in KBO.

I'm going to have a lot of thoughts
when I go home.

Really,

it made me realize a lot of things.

Do you know
who CK Monsters will play next?

It's Duksoo High School again.

-Duksoo, again?
-Yes.

Duksoo lost today.

But the next match is with Duksoo again.

You never know what'll happen then.

A MORE EXCITING GAME 2 WITH DUKSOO

AFTER THE FIERCE GAME WITH DUKSOO

PROUD SQUARE SHOULDERS

-Jeez.
-My back.

You exceeded everyone's expectations.

Let's give a big round of applause.

ROUND OF APPLAUSE
BRAVO

I was touched.

Really? Were you touched?

You haven't even seen half of it.

There you go again.

Captain Park Yong-taek

and everyone else isn't fully ready yet.

If we're all back in shape,

-it'll be crazy.
-It won't be easy.

It's over.

I'll give you your first victory gift.

ANTICIPATING

Thank you.

-It's pretty.
-Thank you.

It's pretty.

Since you've won the game,

we will pick an MVP.

What?

-It's a medal.
-A medal.

-Is it gold?
-It's pure gold.

Really?

HE'S SURPRISED

And on the MVP's uniform,

this patch will be attached.

MVP'S PATCH

This indicates
you're on a different level.

The coach can grant the reward.
I'll announce the winner.

Okay. sure.

They're trying to motivate us
to try harder and stay focused.

-Indeed.
-Yes.

There's a player who hit a home run today.

-Dong-wook.
-Wow.

MVP CANDIDATE NUMBER 1
HOME RUN HITTER SEO DONG-WOOK

A HOME RUN THAT NO ONE EXPECTED

You didn't hit home runs before, right?

He didn't hit many even when he was a pro.

I guess that's why no one expected this.

And the starting pitcher
for this important game.

Shim Soo-chang.

MVP CANDIDATE NUMBER 2
STARTING PITCHER SHIM SOO-CHANG

HE SHOWS HIS GRATITUDE

And Yoo Hee-kwan as the third candidate.

-Thank you.
-Wow.

We're reassured to have you.

You really played with the batters.

Not at all. Soo-chang actually

pitched so well, which I didn't expect.

So I was quite pressured.

I thought Soo-chang would fail,

and we'll be less pressured.

But he pitched well, so I was nervous,

but thanks to him,
the game turned out well.

The MVP of the opening game
of the CK monsters is…

WHO WILL BECOME
THE GLORIOUS FIRST MVP?

SEO DONG-WOOK,
WHO TURNED FLOW OF THE GAME AROUND

YOO HEE-KWAN,
WHO SAVED THE TEAM IN THE CRISIS

SHIM SOO-CHANG,
WHO OVERCAME THE PRESSURE

The MVP is…

the one who hit the walk-off home run!

THE ONE WHO HIT
THE WALK-OFF HOME RUN!

SEO DONG-WOOK

THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED

-Great, Dong-wook!
-You did it.

-You really did it.
-Nice job.

The MVP of the first game.

Have you ever been an MVP before?

You truly did well.

THE FIRST MVP OF CK MONSTERS

He's the first MVP of our team.

-Please attach this patch right here.
-On the right.

-That's something that lasts forever.
-Congratulations.

Even I didn't expect to hit a home run.

I just tried my best based on my routine.

And I got lucky too. Thank you.

SUDDENLY WRAPS UP

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations!

It's gold!

CONGRATULATIONS, SEO DONG-WOOK

It would've been nice
if you teared up a bit.

There's only one MVP in a game.

But I'm in such a good mood today.

We'll choose one more player as an MVP.

Who is it? Hee-kwan or Soo-chang?

-How many innings did you pitch?
-This is hard!

-Was it 3,2 innings?
-It was supposed to be one MVP.

The second MVP of the opening game is…

Is it Hee-kwan?

Or is it Soo-chang?

He's the one who pitched well
beyond everyone's expectations.

Shim Soo-Chang!

THE ONE WHO SURPRISED EVERYONE,
SHIM SOO-CHANG

He's really disappointed now.

-Oh, no.
-Shim Soo-chang!

Shim Soo-chang!

I mean…

I should've known
when he talked nicely to me.

I'm the winning pitcher today!

-That's true.
-I'm the winning pitcher.

Hee-kwan. We're on the same team.

-The same team shouldn't…
-It's because of the gold.

Soo-chang, please make your remark.

HE SIGHS

HE CHUCKLES

I haven't been an MVP in a long time.

-You've been one before?
-In a long time?

And I prepared a lot for this game,

but I was still worried
before coming into the game.

Because I knew my teammates were
relying on me

and expecting me to do well.

Even on my way here,
my heart was pounding.

The day before, it was pounding.

I felt like a starter
in a professional game.

Thank you so much for bringing out
my passion for baseball.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

YOU DID WELL, SHIM SOO-CHANG

"Have we ever focused this much
and put effort into every ball like this?"

This is what we all thought about.

This was a meaningful day

when baseball came
into our hearts once again.

All of you did well.

We said this show will cancel
if we lose ten games.

But we have no losses yet.

Please prepare well,

and we'll see you next time
at Gocheok Sky Dome again!

-Yes!
-Yes!

THE SECOND GAME AGAINST DUKSOO
WILL START SOON

THE CK MONSTERS

1 GAME 1 WIN 0 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE A THOUSAND

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL

It hurt our pride and angered us.

We won't get nervous this time.

We'll win no matter what.

We prepared a lot.

So there's no chance of us losing.

We got an idea of their capacity,

so the second game
will be more interesting.

We lost the first game,

but we will definitely win the second.

We will win this game without a doubt.

We can easily win.

It's do or die.

On our school's pride and honor,

we will give our fullest.

We'll tear them apart.

You just wait, CK Monsters.

There won't be another loss.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

THEY'RE SO SICK AFTER ONE GAME

Duksoo high schoolers probably have
their teeth clenched today.

That's why I brought my personal trainer.

Nice to meet you.

DETERMINED TO WIN NO MATTER WHAT

He's my personal trainer.

If you end up with no hits today with him…

NO HITS?

If I end up with no hits today,
I'm retiring.

Lying down already as a designated hitter?

What will you do when you're on defense?

I'll just rest for two hours
in the infirmary.

My goodness.

Just wait until you're my age.

MONSTERS ARE FIGHTING WITH INJURIES
EVEN BEFORE THE GAME

SERIES OF INJURED PLAYERS

-Hello.
-Hello.

MANAGER LEE COMES IN

Hello. Nice to see you.

-Hello.
-Hello.

EVERYONE IS SEATED

First of all,

you guys did well last time.

Try your best until your body
can't take it anymore like last time.

But be careful of injuries.

Words say Duksoo High School
prepared and practiced hard

to take this match to the third game.

They won't stop at anything.

I heard they recruited players.

They even have "secret weapons" prepared.

But that doesn't matter at all.
We just need to do our job right.

Then we'll be able to win.

We won last time
by playing more passionately

and by moving around more than them.

Please do the same for this today's game.

This will be today's lineup.

LINEUP IS ESSENTIAL IN A GAME

HE WANTS TO BE
AT THE TOP OF THE LINEUP

THE ONE AND ONLY CATCHER

WHO WILL IT BE?

I changed it up a little bit.

CHANGE IN LINE UP

HE GLANCES AT HIS TEAM

-It changed.
-Why are you looking at me?

PARK YONG-TAEK
THIRD BATTER WITH NO HITS

Hong-ku, smile.

Hong-ku, smile.

-Hey.
-Why are you doing that?

-Are you nervous?
-No, sir.

DON'T BE NERVOUS

Today, Keun-woo.

WOW

Keun-woo.

(HE IS SURPRISED)

-Second base.
-Yes, sir!

You're at the top today.

-Dong-wook, right fielder.
-Yes.

-Yong-taek, designated hitter.
-Yes.

Eui-yoon, left fielder.

-Taek-keun, center fielder.
-Yes.

-Hong-ku.
-Yes.

THE MOMENT OF CALLING THE CATCHER

-You're first base.
-Yes.

-Jun-ho.
-Yes.

-Catcher.
-Okay.

I should've been the catcher…

I guess I just have to try my best.

-Hyun-in, third base.
-Yes.

-Kyeong-been, shortstop.
-Yes.

In the previous game, I guess
the younger players felt pressured

about playing at the top
of the lineup. It was a mistake.

So you guys are at the bottom
of the lineup, so don't feel pressured.

-Just play comfortably.
-Yes.

-Just play however you want.
-Yes, sir.

I'll call the pitchers now.

Won-sam is up first.
Second up is Seung-jun.

Third is Hee-kwan,
and the last is Soo-chang.

-Ready?
-Okay. Let's go.

Let's go.

LET'S DO A SERIES SWEEP

CAN THEY TASTE
THE JOY OF VICTORY ONCE AGAIN?

30 MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME STARTS

PLAYERS' DETERMINATION TO WIN
CAN BE FELT FROM THE BANNER

THE CROWD IS JOINING THE GAME

THEY EVEN HAVE A CHEERING SQUAD TODAY

LET'S GO, DUKSOO!

-Let's go, Duksoo!
-Let's go, Duksoo!

You can do it!

WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THEM

CHEERING PASSIONATELY

THE MASCOT IS CHEERING AS WELL

Salute!

SHE SALUTES BACK

-Why isn't your name on there?
-Salute!

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS
ARE ENTERING THE STADIUM

FIERCE WARMING UP

I want them to win today.

DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL
CK MONSTERS

HOW WILL THE SCOREBOARD
LOOK LIKE IN THIS GAME?

BOTH TEAMS LINE UP

We practiced tirelessly
so we can go to the third round.

We'll do our best to make passionate
and ambitious plays

in today's game.

Let's try our best to win no matter what
to go to the third game.

Keep your game face on.

WE SHOULD KEEP OUR GAME FACES ON

THE AIR IS FILLED
WITH COMPETITIVE TENSION

We don't have backup players,

so playing all innings is not easy.

So we'll end it in the seventh inning.

The players are gathered
and getting ready.

Don't forget our celebration.

Also sign the hit.

If you don't, the penalty is 200,000 won.

PENALTY 200,000 WON EACH!

Playing all innings isn't easy.

Finish the game in seven innings.

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

LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!

Let's go! Duksoo!

DUKSOO HYPES THEIR SPIRIT TOO

THEIR CHANT IS ALL AROUND THE STADIUM

THEY'RE BURNING WITH PASSION

That was cool.

Rather than putting on a nervous face
like last time,

it seems like they are more intense today.

THEIR FIERCE AURA IS
MAKING THE MONSTERS NERVOUS

This is the batting order
for the CK Monsters.

First is Keun-woo, second is Dong-wook,
third is Yong-taek,

fourth is Eui-yoon, fifth is Taek-keun,
sixth is Hong-ku,

seventh is Hyun-in, eighth is Jun-ho,
and the last is Kyeong-been.

And the starter is Won-sam.

I don't understand this.

Yong-taek as the third hitter?
What's the meaning of this?

Well… Yong-taek did get on a base

although it was a base on balls.

Maybe after losing nine matches,
and on the final match,

he'll hopefully hit the ball?

That's making me anxious.

AN APPREHENSIVE START

There are Seong-hyeon, Gye-ryeol,

and Hyeon-tae in the outfield from Duksoo.

There are Sang-heon, Jung-hwan, Seung-won,
and Sun-woo in the infield.

Kim Seung-jun is the starting pitcher.

Kim Jae-hyeong is the catcher.

Let's do well from the start!

THEY MUST LEAD FROM THE START

-Go!
-You guys can do it!

The game between Duksoo
and CK Monsters will now begin.

TOP OF THE 1ST INNING

This is Kim Seung-jun.

In the high school baseball competition,
he was chosen as the best player.

Okay.

Okay.

THEY ARE IMPRESSED

-He's good.
-Wow.

The pitch looks fast.

THEY'RE SUDDENLY NERVOUS

He's not only good at pitching fastballs,

but he's also good at
pitching splitters and sliders.

He was chosen as the best player.

Seung-jun is a player
we must keep an eye on.

That's right.

Let's go!

WE SHALL WIN NO MATTER WHAT

WE WILL GO TO GAME 3

The legendary second baseman,

Jeong Keun-woo is up first.

The game begins now.

FIRST PITCH, STRIKE

His sliders are quite sharp.

There aren't many high school athletes

who can pitch a strike
by throwing a slider.

First pitch was a strike.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 DUKSOO

He hits a fastball. A groundball.
Second baseman gets the ball.

Throws it to first baseman perfectly.

1 OUT

THAT WAS A GOOD FIRST BLOW

Lee Seung-won's defense was immaculate.

The starting pitcher gets
his first out easily

thanks to the defense.

Nice job. Good defense.

THEY FEEL CONFIDENT

-Yes!
-Good! Go in!

It's early into the game,
but the players' movements look good.

They look different.

You can see them smiling today.

HE'S SMILING

The pitcher showed good command.

Next up is Seo Dong-wook.

He's the one
who hit the Monsters' first home run.

Dong-wook with a .400 BA.

THE MVP OF GAME 1

STRIKE

He's pitching a strike
with a breaking ball.

That's right.

He knows how to play this game.

-He pitches the ball with so much energy.
-That's right.

The ball was pitched
differently this time. It's strike two.

THE COUNT FAVORS SEUNG-JUN

CK Monsters are in a tight situation.

0 BALL 2 STRIKES

HE'S OUT WITH ONE MORE STRIKE

Timeout!

DONG-WOOK ASKS FOR A TIMEOUT

Dong-wook just requested a timeout.

He's causing a distraction.

The pitcher's pace is fast,
so he stopped him.

He's taking the game at his pace.

Good job, Dong-wook!

ONE STRIKE LEFT BEFORE HE'S OUT

It's low.

It comes in low again.

That's a good pitch!

HE'S BAITING HIM TO SWING

He knows the timing.

He knows how and when the ball breaks.

The count is two and two.

Towards the batter. Doesn't swing again.

His timing is good. It's very good.

What caught Seung-jun off guard is that…

-He just threw two good pitches.
-Yes.

But Dong-wook saw through him.

Seung-jun probably thinks

that at an amateur level,
the hitter would swing and miss.

Because the sliders are perfect.

BUT THE HITTER IS THE MVP,
SEO DONG-WOOK

It's full count.
Three balls and two strikes.

FULL COUNT

I MUST PITCH A STRIKE

The ball is high up.

-Nice.
-Dong-wook gets a base on balls.

HE GETS A BASE ON BALLS

I did so well, right?

You did.

After getting two strikes,

he managed not to swing.

After he saw two balls,

Seung-jun had to pitch a strike.

But he couldn't because of the pressure.

That was a good play.

NICE EYE

HE'S GLANCING WITH HIS BAD EYE

Now Park Yong-taek is up.

He did steal two bases and have two walks.

It doesn't reflect what he was known as,
the hitting machine.

SWING AND MISS

SWING AND MISS AGAIN

RUSTY AND OLD HITTING MACHINE

Maybe a bold move is needed.
Switch him out.

A SIGN TO KICK HIM OUT?

Just wait and see.

But baseball is about…

We need to cut some slack for the batters.
Maybe about 20 to 30 plate appearances.

Those good at baseball
are the ones who are good.

I'M THE ONE WHO IS GOOD

HE REALLY HITS THE BALL!

HIS EYES GET BIGGER

He hits the ball!

The ball goes to the left-center.
A clean hit!

-Yes!
-Nice!

Run!

It's safe. Go.

The ball goes near the fence.

First base runner goes through third base.

And he keeps going!

He's running to home base!

WILL HE GET TO HOME BASE?

He manages to run to home base.

SEO DONG-WOOK RAN HOME

PARK YONG-TAEK, YOU'RE BACK!

Yong-taek's hit results in a point!

The hitting machine is back!

WE LOVE YOU YONG-TAEK

His first at-bat results in a hit.

He's an impressive player.

People believed in him,

like I believed in him.
I said he's going to do well.

VIDEO CAPTURE OF HIS LIES

The first point of the game
thanks to a hit.

CK Monsters are ahead by a point.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 DUKSOO

Now Jung Eui-yoon is up.

I'LL CRUSH YOU

The ball is low. He doesn't swing.

EUI-YOON GETS A BASE ON BALLS

-This is good!
-Good job.

Nice job!

Seung-jun is starting to falter.

Seung-jun. It's fine.
Just pitch with full force.

Yes, sir!

Taek-keun is in the batter's box.

A HIT CAN RESULT IN ONE MORE POINT

THEY ARE READY TO RUN

Look how intense it is.

He has to pitch a strike
on his first pitch.

I MUST NOT ALLOW A RUN

HE HITS!

The ball skips off the bat.

It's flying. Get it!

He hit it.

The ball skips off the bat.

It's flying. Pitcher moves.

He catches it!

FLYOUT

This means that Park Yong-taek is…

-Yong-taek!
-What is he doing?

What did he just do?

WHY IS PARK YONG-TAEK ON 3RD BASE?

I thought it was two outs.

This means that Park Yong-taek is…

-He didn't check the ball.
-He had the wrong idea.

If there is a fly ball in the infield,
we generally

-stay on the base.
-Right.

But he started running.

So if the ball goes to second base,
Yong-taek is out.

As soon as the ball made contact,
he ran without checking the ball.

HE JUST RAN THINKING IT WAS TWO OUTS

DUKSOO DOESN'T LOSE THIS CHANCE
AND YONG-TAEK IS OUT

What is that old man doing?

TWO OUTS

HE ALSO FEELS BAD

He was excited after his hit.

Make him pay the penalty.

I guess I'm not the MVP today.

WHAT DID I JUST DO?

No MVP for me today.

I was distracted.

I thought, "My batting is good today."

"Thank god. I did well."

I was thinking of random things.

So I thought it was two outs,
and I just ran.

HIS NICKNAME IS REVOKED

-I'm so sorry!
-Captain.

Sorry.

Keep track of your outs.

I'm definitely not the MVP today.

Thanks to this mistake,

the control of the game went over
to Duksoo now.

A CHANCE FOR DUKSOO

Good job guys. Gather around.

-Good job, Seung-jun.
-Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THE MISTAKE

Our hitters generally swing well.

Stay calm and hit Won-sam's pitches.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

-Okay.
-Let's go!

The bottom of the first inning
will begin now.

Won-sam is the starting pitcher.

In the first game,

he managed to defend one inning perfectly.

When he pitched two strikeouts,

he made it look so easy.

JANG WON-SAM WITH 121 WINS
IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

Lee Seung-won
had one hit in three at-bats last game.

-Come on!
-You can do it!

Let's go!

Come on!

HE SHAKES HIS HEAD

-Good!
-Nice pitch.

THEY ARE IMPRESSED

-His command is good.
-That was nice.

That low pitch was spot on.

WON-SAM SHOWS PERFECT COMMAND
FROM THE FIRST PITCH

SEUNG-WON MUST HIT THAT PERFECT PITCH

OH NO!

PLEASE!

The ball goes along the foul line.

It bounces into foul territory.

THE BALL LANDS IN THE FOUL TERRITORY

It rolled to the fence.

First hitter runs to second base.

-Quickly!
-Third base!

He's going for third base!

Third base!

WILL HE MAKE IT TO 3RD BASE LIKE THIS?

He manages to get on third base safely!

A FEARLESS TRIPLE

THE CHANCE TO EVEN OUT TO SCORE
WAS MADE IN A BLINK OF AN EYE

THEY'RE PROUD OF DUKSOO HIGH SCHOOL

A triple by the first hitter.

The first hitter goes
to third base in a flash.

THEY ARE DEVASTATED

The way he hit the ball was very good.

This game is very intense.

He didn't throw a bad pitch.

But the batting was perfect.

It was superb how he hit the ball.

That was a great swing.

CK MONSTERS MAY ALLOW A RUN

THE MOMENTUM SHIFTED IN A FLASH

Hong-ku!

MOVE BACK

Let's give them a sure out.

MANAGER LEE INTENDS TO END THE INNING
EVEN IF THEY ALLOW A RUN

The runner is on third base safely
with no outs.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE A POINT

HE MUST STOP THE RUN NO MATTER WHAT

Duksoo!

Lee Sun-woo hits the first pitch.

THE BALL IS HIT AGAIN!

It's a fly ball.

-In the front!
-Go forward!

OKAY

Lee Sun-woo hits the first pitch.

It's a fly ball.

The right fielder fields the ball well.

-Fields the ball well.
-He's running!

HE'S SURPRISED AT HIS RUNNING

3RD BASE RUNNER TRIES
TO TAG UP ON A FLY BALL

He fields the ball well.

Runner tags up! He throws to home base.

Go, Seung-won. Run, run!

THROW VERSUS SPRINT

Run!

-He's running!
-Runner tags up!

He throws to home base. To home base!

HE MAKES IT TO HOME PLATE

He evens out the score.

THEY ARE CHEERING FOR DUKSOO

Sun-woo's sacrifice fly.

They make the score even in no time.

MONSTERS 1 : 1 DUKSOO

Manager Lee's team allows
a point from the start

of the bottom of the first inning.

Duksoo is in a good spot.

They make a chance to run
by hitting a triple.

The next hitter bats aggressively
and hits a sacrifice fly.

Indeed.

The ball didn't travel far.

The third base runner can run
when the ball is caught.

He sprints right away
and slides head first.

How he did his sliding was also marvelous.

It was magnificent.

A perfect run by Duksoo

and Lee Seung-won.

Jang Won-sam starts the inning
with a run allowed.

PITCHER WITH 100 WINS,
WON-SAM ALLOWS A RUN

CK MONSTERS IS IN DANGER

It's fine. One point is fine!

They suddenly became good.

MONSTERS 1 : 1 DUKSOO

-Ju Jung-hwan, the third hitter.
-One more point!

Come on!

The first pitch hits.

Hong-ku fields the ball on first base.

He steps on the base. Two outs.

WON-SAM IS LOOKING GRIM

-Nice defense!
-Good!

-Yes!
-Okay!

ONE LAST OUT BEFORE THE INNING ENDS

Baek Jun-seo, the fourth hitter is up.

Jun-seo's batting is commendable.

We must keep an eye on him.

He's against an experienced pitcher.

Let's go!

He aims close to his body.

-Strike!
-It goes in near his body!

-Strike!
-Yes!

Strikeout! It's three outs now.

But Won-sam allowed a run and a triple.

The score is even. Onto the second inning.

MONSTERS 1 : 1 DUKSOO

I expect to see a good game today.

I was surprised at the triple.

The top of the second inning starts
with CK Monsters on offense.

In the beginning,
CK Monster had the momentum,

but the score is back to even now.

We can't say the situation is bad,
but it's definitely not good.

First batter is Lee Hong-ku.

In the first game,

-he got struck out three times.
-Right.

AT BATS 3, HITS 0

I was honestly furious.

I wanted to show them what I'm made of.

Will he do well in this game?

-Strike!
-It was almost out of the zone.

That was a strike?

THAT'S A STRIKE?

Swing and miss.

Damn it.

HAVE FAITH…

That was a slider.

He'll throw a ball now.

I think that's what Kim Seung-jun will do.

WILL IT BE A BALL?

THE CATCHER TELLS HIM TO THROW DOWN

Hong-ku, let's see what you got.

CHOOSE WISELY…

WILL HE BE ABLE TO TELL
WHAT HE'LL THROW?

HE HIT IT INSTEAD?

IT'S A HIT!

-It's a hit!
-Go!

A HOME RUN?

-Go!
-Behind the center fielder.

It goes behind the center fielder.
First base.

It's a direct hit.

-Yes!
-Hong-ku.

It won't go over the wall.

-Okay!
-Lee Hong-ku!

Lee Hong-ku successfully
lands on second base.

Lee Hong-ku's first hit is a double.

LEE HONG-KU HITS A DOUBLE

HONG-KU, WE HAD FAITH IN YOU

BASEBALL OF FAITH IS ALWAYS RIGHT
BY LEE SEUNG-YUOP

The air could've become heavy,
but Lee Hong-ku

manages to break through.

That was a good hit.

-Okay.
-Good job.

Okay.

And now, Ryu Hyun-in,
Yoon Jun-ho, and Han Kyeong-been.

The three young guns.

He's holding the bat short.

THE BUNT POSITION?

I signed him for a bunt.

Let's see their strategy

and score a little.

I'LL SCORE AT LEAST ONE POINT

Come closer.

DUKSOO HIGH PULLS IN
THE INFIELDERS FOR THE BUNT

A MAN WHO'LL CARRY OUT AN OPERATION

A MAN WHO'S PERFECTLY READY

He hits a bunt.

A GOOD HIT

OKAY!

The catcher catches.

-First base.
-Safe.

He runs in first. Safe.

YES, SAFE!

OPERATION SUCCESS

TOTAL SATISFACTION

Good. Safe.

Duksoo High is shaken once again.

The mistake of the defense
allows the first base runner.

THANKS TO THEIR OPERATION,
THERE ARE RUNNERS ON THE 1ST AND 3RD

The hit went in nicely.

The bunt was a bit short,

so Kim Seung-jun tried to throw
a little too fast.

PERFECT BUNT AND FULL SPRINT

No outs, runners on bases one and three.

NO OUTS, BASES 1 AND 3

THE FATE OF TWO TEAMS
IS ON THIS INNING

CK MONSTERS IS DESPERATE FOR A HIT

DUKSOO HIGH MUST STOP THEM

That's Yoon Jun-ho.
He was at bat only once last time,

but his swings are very smooth.

He's the hope of CK Monsters.

I CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER POINT

The ball goes high.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Throw lower.

HMM…

Kim Seung-jun, the starting pitcher,
throws higher

with a batter in the box.

-He comes in right away.
-He comes up.

DUKSOO HIGH'S TIMEOUT

Why are you so nervous?

Why did you get so nervous?

Good work. Do better later.

-Yes, sir.
-Good job.

He's switched out.

-He switches out his starting pitcher.
-Yes.

Duksoo High plays a bold move.

This is it. Manager Jung Yoon-jin will

sub his players when they face danger.

Already?

Why? Why is he switched out?

Wait, who's that on the left?

-Is he that transfer student?
-Yes. He's in his first year.

The new pitcher is Jung Hyeon-u.

He's a secret weapon in his first year.

He won awards as the Best Pitcher,
for Outstanding Performance, and RBI

in the national championship.

Also, he pitched 15,2 innings this year,

and do you know how many points he lost?

-How many?
-Zero.

MR. ZERO

Hey, he looks good.

Come on out.

I'LL MAKE SURE WE WIN TODAY

On third base, Lee Hong-ku.
On first, Ryu Hyun-in.

He was in middle school until recently,

so how will he perform in this huge game?

Holding the runner.

He must hold
Ryu Hyun-in down on first base

and lose as few points as possible.

He's a first-year in high school,

but he's bold enough
to hold him down that calmly.

I'LL MAKE SURE I MAKE A TIMELY HIT

THIS TIME, IT'S A STRIKE

NO WAY, I'M AN EXPERIENCED
COLLEGE PLAYER

It's a hit.
The ball flies over the shortstop.

NICE PLAY

WOW…

The third-base runner returns home.

CK Monsters takes lead again.

THAT'S JUN-HO,
A TIMELY HIT FROM THE FIRST HIT

He's really good.

That was a great hit.

Yes, Yoon Jun-ho's hit,

and the score is two to one.
CK Monsters takes the lead again.

-Hey, welcome home!
-I'm home!

-Nice.
-Running home!

You look much happier.

-Great job.
-You did it.

-Good job.
-We got this.

You look much better.

RELIEVED

High school students must be nervous.

It's a lot of pressure.

Hyeon-u, four balls are fine,
so pitch as hard as you can.

Yes.

Batter nine, Han Kyeong-been.

BATTER 9, HAN KYEONG-BEEN

The ball flies high.

It flies for a while. Fielders run.

An uncertain position.

Second baseman moves and catches.

LEE SEUNG-WON'S SMOOTH CATCH

1 OUT

They did a round,
and Jeong Keun-woo is at bat again.

They couldn't score more
during the first inning,

so it's now a tie.

The same goes for this.
They only scored one.

It can be disappointing.

It bounced on his hand.

RUN

Both runners begin to run quickly.

THEY SUCCESSFULLY RUN OUT

Third base, Ryu Hyun-in.
Second base, Yoon Jun-ho.

2 CAN SCORE NOW

Keun-woo, you'll get a chance.

CK Monsters started nicely.

-Right.
-Yes.

They can win two points with one hit.

IT'S A HIT!

He hits. And this ball…

He couldn't catch it.
It goes out of the center.

THAT'S IT!

Come in.

LET'S GO

Come in! Come home!

Third-base runner. Second-base.

Second-base runner returns home too.

A timely hit scores two points.
Korea's second baseman,

Jeong Keun-woo's great hit.

Another point!

Four to one.

CK Monsters' attack doesn't seem to end.

MONSTERS 4 : 1 DUKSOO

It would've been a double play
without the wild throw.

-You're right.
-This is baseball.

When runners were at first and second,

the shortstop would've caught it
in his spot for a double play.

-It would've been easy.
-Yes.

This is what baseball is like.

One inning can end everything.

Ju Jung-hwan looks disappointed.

For Manager Jung,
the game isn't going well

-from the start.
-No.

Back to Seo Dong-wook.

CK Monsters took the lead

after he ran out with four balls.

That was quick. Strike.

WHOA

His pitches are good.

One will be an infield fly.
A groundball for the shortstop.

-His pitch is excellent.
-Yes.

IT'S A HIT!

It's going far.

Toward third base.
It stays inside the line.

NICE

(RESPECT)

-He's so good.
-I know.

HE'S A REALLY GOOD BATTER…

Jeong Keun-woo runs toward third base.

The batter, Seo Dong-wook,
runs to second base too.

THE MVP OF THE 1ST GAME
HITS A PASSIONATE ONE

-What was that?
-He's really good.

-He hit it like this.
-Like this.

-Dong-wook.
-My gosh.

Seo Dong-wook is playing like…

Was he like this while he played?

That's how I want to remember him.

-He played like that.
-Yes.

That was a nice hit.

HIS HEYDAY CAME A LITTLE LATE

There are two runners
in second base and up.

He hit a single during his first bat,

Park Yong-taek.

ADJUSTING THE OUTFIELDERS
IN CASE OF A SINGLE

He made a mistake with CK Monsters,

so I'm sure he wanted to play
even more aggressively.

STRIKE

That was an excellent pitch.

SMACKS LIPS

You can see it.

MAKE UP, YONG-TAEK

THIS TIME, IT'S A HOME RUN!

HE REALLY HITS IT!

IS IT REALLY A HOME RUN?

He hits it far.

Down the center right. The center right.

It bounces off the wall once.

SCREAMING FOR YONG-TAEK

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

LAVA TAEK RETURNS

Even the second runner has
enough time to run home.

Park Yong-taek… He's going for third base.

Third base.

-Captain, what's with you? Captain!
-Why?

That again?

He's going for third base.
He throws to third.

CATCH HIM

He throws to third.

He's tagged out on third base!

-He did that again.
-Come on!

MAN… THAT'S…

Captain! That's 400,000 won!

SHAKES HEAD

After hitting for two points,

he's out.

2 POINTS WITH A HIT AND OUT

Park Yong-taek was tagged out twice

while running the base today.

Goodness. How can he throw
a wet blanket on the team's spirit?

What an odd man.

He gets another nickname. Wet Taek.

Wet Taek. Ice Taek.
He can take everything.

If it wasn't six to one,
he would've had hands behind his back.

WHERE'S THE OLD LAVA TAEK?

The difference is five. Six to one.

The next batter is
a home-run hitter, Jung Eui-yoon.

But the runner is gone.

It's like a gas can.

I'LL DO SOMETHING TODAY

OKAY, BYE

He swings and gets struck out.

INNING ENDS WITH A BREAKING BALL

But CK Monsters
scored five points in this inning.

They lead by six to one.

It's not just for this game.
It's for every game you play.

Why won't you focus?

HE TELLS THEM TO FOCUS

Why won't you do what you can?

Wake up, okay?

-Yes, sir!
-Let's do this! One point at a time.

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

Jang Won-sam will now throw

while his team is winning.

JANG WON-SAM MUST KEEP
THIS FLOW GOING

HE'S AGAINST PARK SANG-HEON,
WHO TURNED GAME 1 AROUND

NERVOUS

STRIKE

Good! A nice, gentle pitch.

He pitches lightly
thanks to the score difference.

Yes.

He hits toward third base.

It's a foul.

NICE FOCUS

That's it!

Look at how Ryu Hyun-in follows.

-It's great.
-Yes.

-He runs to keep the line.
-It's great.

He runs in instead of reaching out.

REASSURED

And now, strike two.

MONSTERS 5 : DUKSOO 1

Swing and miss, strikeout.

THE PITCHER WITH 121 WINS,
JANG WON-SAM'S RETURN

NICE PITCH

-That's awesome!
-Nice ball!

That was a fast pitch.

And his pitch is still spinning.

Strikeout with three misses,

the second strikeout by Jang Won-sam.

Moon Seong-hyeon is at bat.

IT'S A HIT!

A groundball.

Third base catches. Ryu Hyun-in.

To first base. An accurate throw.

Two outs.

THIS IS GREAT

That's good.

THIS IS GREAT

His foundation is very solid.

After he let the first batter
run to the third,

he ends everything with an easy fly.

BATTER 7, KIM HYEON-TAE

He hits the first pitch.
The shortstop catches.

In first base, Han Kyeong-been.

Three outs.

THAT WAS CLEAN

That was clean.

HABITUAL ENGLISH

That's Jang Won-sam,

the starting pitcher who struck out
all six batters so far.

-Jang Won-sam returns!
-Hey!

My arm hurts so much.

The pitch combination is different.

-That's why he won over 100 times.
-Exactly.

Shim Soo-chang is the only one
without 100 wins.

ATTACKING

It's now the third inning.

CK Monsters versus Duksoo High School.

If there's ten points difference
in the seventh inning, it's a cold game.

They cannot lose any more points.

DUKSOO MUST NOT LOSE ANY POINTS

Jung Hyeon-u cannot be shaken anymore.

How will he pitch against Lee Taek-keun?

A MAN WHO WANTS TO SHAKE HIS CORES

Swing and miss.

STRIKE

He swings his bat with power.

GOSH… THIS WASN'T A HIT?

HIS PITCH BECAME SHARP
AFTER LOSING A LOAD OF POINTS

Hyeon-u, let's go!

LET'S GO, SECRET WEAPON!

HE'S STARTING TO GET CONSCIOUS

The count is two and two.

THE FLOW OF THE INNING IS AT STAKE

I'LL MAKE SURE I STRIKE HIM OUT

I'LL MAKE SURE I HIT IT
FOCUSED

Two balls, two strikes. Lee Taek-keun.

Swing and miss. Strikeout.

THE SECRET WEAPON'S
GRANDEUR RESURRECTION

HUH…

YOU'RE BACK, JUNG TAE-SIK!

(NODS)

Pitcher Jung Hyeon-u
strikes out Lee Taek-keun. One out.

Jung Hyeon-u struck out batters like

Jung Eui-yoon and Lee Taek-keun.

I mean, think about who Lee Taek-keun is.

He didn't get caught in the first game.

Of course.

He just struck out two batters
who are known to be good.

Jung Hyeon-u strikes out
the first out count.

The man of two-base hit,
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

THE GAME IS OURS NOW

OR IS IT?

It goes far toward the left fielder.

LEFT!

HONG-KU DID IT AGAIN?

It goes far toward the left fielder.
It drops right in front.

Lee Hong-ku records two hits, two at-bat.

SUDDENLY BECOMES THE ACE

-Okay!
-Hey!

HONG-KU, WE BELIEVED IN YOU!

Hong-ku!

CK MONSTERS LEADS AGAIN

Lee's hit makes the competition
between starting catchers fiercer.

CK Monsters move on
to the three young guns.

Third baseman, Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

A foul. Jung Hyeon-u's strike.

It's a hit.

It's a hit. It flies to the left.

My gosh.

THE BATTER AND THE RUNNER
BOTH MOVE UP

Ryu Hyun-in's hit.

-Ryu Hyun-in's second hit.
-Great job.

-Good job, Hyun-in!
-Hey!

Lee Hong-ku and Ryu Hyun-in both hit.

Runners at second and first.

Hey, Jun-seo.

Go out.

Center to the left.

He was a bit disappointed
by the outfield defense.

That was his decision,

so he subs out
the outfielder in the third inning.

IT'S TO PREVENT A CALLED GAME

YOON JUN-HO,
THE MAN WITH A TIMELY HIT

Duksoo's pitcher, Jung Hyeon-u is

pitching curve balls
against Yoon Jun-ho at bat.

The first time Yoon Jun-ho was at bat,
he made a huge swing

-and hit the ball very quickly.
-Yes.

Runners at first and second.

JUST ONE BIG ONE!

Yoon Jun-ho has made a timely hit.

COLLEGE STUDENT
VERSUS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

One ball, two strikes.

Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.

A BOLD, FASTBALL, STRIKEOUT

That's it. It came in. Two strikeouts.

JOY AND SORROW

His four-seam into the body
of the right batter was excellent.

His four-seam is basically excellent.

I think Jung Hyeon-u should

continue to throw four-seam fastballs
instead of curve balls.

His speed will increase even more.

I see.

He's up against Han Kyeong-been.
Only one out count left.

ONLY ONE OUT COUNT LEFT!

IT'S A HIT!

He hits the first pitch. A groundball.

He catches,
then right to the first baseman.

Jung Hyeon-u did not lose

even one point during his inning.

The score is still six to one.
Bottom of the third.

THE TOP OF THE 3RD ENDS

Won-sam must be exhausted.

He said he could throw 70.

-He's tired.
-Won-sam threw only 22.

But think about it. He took two years off.

-Right.
-This is impossible.

Won-sam isn't well.

Won-sam isn't well,
so we need to switch now.

Won-sam isn't well? How?

He has bad shoulders,
so he was concerned about it.

It suddenly began to hurt.

WON-SAM TRIES TO PRACTICE FIRST

Man. I can't do this.

YOU CAN SEE HOW PAINFUL IT IS
FROM HIS FACE

It must really…

Yes? No?

IT LOOKS MORE SERIOUS
THAN THEY THOUGHT

Timeout.

HE REQUESTS A TIMEOUT

-Manager Lee is coming up.
-Will he be switched?

These legendary players
haven't played for a while,

so we were worried about this.

-Yes.
-Right.

His elbow isn't doing well.

Can we have some time?
He needs to be substituted.

Song Seung-jun is
warming up his shoulders.

SEUNG-JUN WARMS UP URGENTLY

SIGH…

BUT HE CAN'T LEAVE NOW

-Come up and…
-You have to throw one.

-Yes.
-If he's injured, can the trainer come?

-Yes, please.
-Yes.

Mr. Oh.

All of a sudden?

Usually… What usually happens?

Once he comes in, he has to throw.

-He must throw one?
-Yes.

You're up, so you have to throw one.

THAT'S A GIVEN

Jae-hyeong, you'll get on base!

WON-SAM'S CRISIS IS
DUKSOO HIGH'S OPPORTUNITY

He came over, so he has to throw one.

So?

-I'll just throw lightly.
-Throw lightly.

Okay. Let's just practice once more.

ONE MORE PRACTICE PITCH

-I'll throw like this.
-Don't overdo it. Okay.

DON'T OVERDO IT, OKAY!

He's going to pitch. Manager Lee leaves.

He has to throw for the first batter

-before he's subbed.
-Yes.

WON-SAM IS ON THE MOUND
WITH A BIT OF PRESSURE

Jang Won-sam has thrown 22 pitches

until the second inning.

He's up against batter eight,
Kim Jae-hyeong.

The first pitch. It's a ball.

IT'S MUCH WEAKER
BECAUSE OF HIS INJURY

I pitched for him to hit.

I wanted to throw as little as possible.

Gosh, this isn't good.

TROUBLED…

EVERY PITCH IS TROUBLESOME

BALL 2

-Second pitch.
-He can't pitch hard.

Darn it. Come on.

HE'S MORE FRUSTRATED THAN ANYONE

Why does it suddenly hurt?

CHOKING UP

I hope it's not too much pressure for him.

HE MUSTERS HIS STRENGTH

Jang Won-sam is covered in sweat.

JUST ONCE MORE…

IT'S A HIT!

Hey!

It's a hit. A sharp hit.

The left fielder moves and catches.

Jang Won-sam pitches and makes
seven batters hit an easy fly in a row

including Kim Jae-hyeong.

I wanted to throw well
and show what I got.

A LEGENDARY LEFT-HANDED PITCHER
WITH 121 WINS, JANG WON-SAM

HIS DAZZLING HEYDAY

30 YEARS OLD AT THIS TIME

HIS NAME SHINED THE MOST BRIGHTLY
WHEN HE WAS ON THE MOUND

AND AT AGE FORTY,
HE STRIVES TO SHINE ONCE AGAIN

HE DAZZLED HUNDREDS
AND THOUSANDS OF DAYS

I had to come down in the middle,

so I was furious at myself.

-Good work.
-Good work. Are you okay?

I hope it gets better. I'm sorry.

-You got two innings.
-Yes, I'm sorry.

I'M SORRY…

I became irritated on the mound
when it started to hurt.

We didn't even have enough pitchers.

I had to throw many innings for them.

I felt bad for the other pitchers

who had to throw after me.

I was irritated at myself.

-Great job.
-Why does it suddenly hurt?

Why is it like this?

HE FEELS ENDLESSLY SORRY AND GUILTY

This is frustrating.

HE BEGINS TO BLAME HIMSELF

-This is irritating.
-Good work.

-It didn't hurt that much, right?
-No, it didn't.

I've never been in so much pain.

GOOD JOB WON-SAM,
TAKE SOME TIME OFF…

(SNIFFLE…)

-Seung-jun, don't overstrain yourself.
-Okay.

You'll throw for a while,
so maintain your condition.

What's the signal?

HE TAKES THE BALL AND HIS APOLOGY

The second pitcher,
Song Seung-jun is on the mound.

If I had to choose two pitchers
in their best condition,

-it's Song Seung-jun and Yoo Hee-kwan.
-I agree.

Instead of strong pitches,
Song Seung-jun should make light ones

and pitch for a long time.

In Manager Lee's shoes,
he only has four pitchers

in CK Monsters.

He can't help but be anxious
when his players feel such pain.

Yes, they'll have to play for a season,

-so he must have a lot on his mind.
-Of course.

Song Seung-jun is equipped
with a heavy burden.

HE SUDDENLY HAD TO STEP UP
AT THE THIRD INNING

Song Seung-jun is up against
batter nine, Baek Gye-ryeol.

THIS INNING WILL BECOME
A TURNING POINT IN THIS GAME

THE PITCH WAVERED, BALL

SEUNG-JUN'S PITCH SUDDENLY WAVERED

ANXIOUS, NERVOUS

THIS IS OUR CHANCE!

He suddenly had to throw,
so the first pitch was a ball.

DUKSOO HIGH SAW
THEIR CHANCE AMID THEIR CRISIS

It missed the strike zone by a lot.

-You got it!
-It was a slider.

HIS MIND IS SHAKEN
ALONG WITH HIS PITCH

It's tough to go up so suddenly.

I felt really bad.

Song Seung-jun
suddenly had to come up and play,

so he should throw at ease
and try to work his way out.

I'LL GET YOU HERE

I'LL MAKE SURE I RUN OUT

SEUNG-JUN'S CRUCIAL PITCH IS
FINALLY THROWN

A CLEAN SWEEP

CK MONSTERS FACE THEIR FIRST CRISIS

A SUDDEN INJURY

AND THERE ARE NO MORE PITCHERS TO SUB

WHEN THE WORST SITUATION COMES,

PITCHERS MAY HAVE TO BAT

I THOUGHT, "WHAT IS THIS SITUATION?"

AN UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS
AFTER JUST 2 INNINGS

IF CK MONSTERS IS IN TROUBLE,

THEN IT'S OUR CHANCE!

DUKSOO HIGH BEGINS TO COUNTERATTACK

AND THE MONSTROUS PITCHER
RETURNS IN DETERMINATION

HE PUTS THEM DOWN WITH HIS SPEED

(SHOCKED)

DUKSOO HIGH'S
FRIGHTENING COUNTERATTACK

It ends with three strikes. Strikeout.

He trips.

TAGGED OUT

WILL THE MONSTERS BE
BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES?

WHAT? IT'S MANAGER LEE!
