A Clean Sweep (2022–2023): Season 1, Episode 28 - Episode #1.28 - full transcript

THE 1ST MATCH WITH THE DINOS

HONESTLY, I THOUGHT
WE COULD WIN TODAY

HE HITS!

-Center-right!
-Good.

-Okay!
-It falls center-right.

He pushes the first pitch!
Third baseman misses the ball!

THIS ISN'T WHAT WE PLANNED…

THE MONSTERS SCORED FIRST
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME

THIS IS IT

THEY THOUGHT WE WERE TOO EASY

THE DINOS AREN'T EASY!



He's safe on first base.

DAE-EUN STARTED TO WAVER UNDER PRESSURE

SIGH…

THEY KEEP SWINGING THEIR BATS

Both runners on second and third
are coming home.

He hits!

THE DINOS BREAK
THE MONSTERS' WILL TO GO AFTER THEM

THEY'RE ON ANOTHER LEVEL

THE FIRST GAME
AGAINST A PRO TEAM ISN'T EASY

He hits.

And this one puts a period
on today's match.

THE 1ST MATCH SCORE 5:1
THE DINOS WIN

No baseball player wants to lose a game.

Everyone feels the same
because losing hurts your pride.



When I was pitching, I thought,

"I don't want to lose to you
or be beaten by you."

There's a certain pride
professional players have.

We can't lose both times.

We'll win today's game no matter what.

WE'LL WIN TODAY NO MATTER WHAT

THEY ARE SERIOUS ON THEIR WAY TO WORK

MORE THAN EVER

Let's win today.

We really need to win.

WE HAVE TO WIN TODAY…

We need four wins and three losses, right?

-And we need seven wins for Okinawa.
-Yes.

We have to be concerned
about the show, not Okinawa.

Don't even think about Okinawa.

THE SHOW WILL BE CANCELED
WITH 4 LOSSES

CANCELLATION IS CLOSE
TO BECOMING REALITY

THAT'S WHY THEY MUST WIN TODAY

-Hello.
-Hello.

Did you sleep well?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

We had 23 games.

The win percentage is .739.

If we lose again, it'll be .780.

IT'S NOT EASY…

It's post-season.
We're standing on the edge of a cliff.

JANG WON-SAM RETURNS AS STARTING PITCHER

How many times
did you win the Korean Series?

-Four times.
-We can trust him.

-You've been the winning pitcher, right?
-Yes.

-He has.
-Okay.

I'll play in the Korean Series mode.

WIN AT ANY COST

Okay. Then I'll trust Won-sam.

Please play like it's the last game.

WE MUST WIN TODAY

The pro team was tough.

But CK Monsters prepared for today
in hopes of winning.

Hello, everyone.

It's the second match
of CK Monsters versus the Dinos.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with me.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Yesterday, the Monsters lost five to one.

Still, CK Monsters

were hopeful of winning

the next game.

When you look at yesterday's game,
it was a big loss.

Despite that,
the players are determined to win.

They're saying they can win,
so I'm looking forward to today's game.

Right.

"Baseball is difficult."

I'll make the second-string players
of the Futures League feel that.

I expect the score to be 12 to 2.

We'll think that we'll win at all costs
and do our best.

Let's go. NC!

LET'S WIN AGAIN TODAY

We'll be serious today.
It's Jun-ho's last game.

Let's send him off happily.

-I want us to win my last game.
-Okay.

Here we go.

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

We'll win today!

Here's the batting order of the Dinos.

Batter one, Lee Han.
Two, Kim Jun-sang. Three, Kim Su-yun.

Four, Choi Bo-sung.
Five, Yi In-hyok. Six, Oh Sung-taek.

Seven, Suh Jun-kyo. Eight, Park Sung-jae.

CK Monsters' defense positions.

Outfielders Jung Eui-yoon,
Lee Taek-keun, Kim Moon-ho.

Infielders Jeong Keun-woo, Chi Seok-hoon,
Choi Soo-hyun, Seo Dong-wook.

Jang Won-sam is today's starting pitcher,

and today is the last game
for Catcher Yoon Jun-ho.

TOP OF THE 1ST INNING
DINOS 0 : 0 MONSTERS

Jeez.

It's nice to be the starter.

I'm nervous.

STARTING PITCHER JANG WON-SAM

-Just two.
-Jang Won-sam

was the starter
when we played Duksoo and Choongam.

Since then,
he hasn't been a starting pitcher.

FINALLY, HE'S BACK!

He's good today.

WON-SAM IS HERE

It's good.

Jang Won-sam always said he'd be back

in the fall.

Yes. That's why we kept him until now.

He needs to do his thing.

I'm back as the starting pitcher
after a five-month hiatus.

I'll throw like it's the Korean Series.

-Yes.
-This is it.

I'll do my best.
I don't care if my arm breaks.

Won-sam, make it to the third inning.

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

Let's go.

I'LL STOP THEM NO MATTER WHAT

He hasn't been a starter for a while.
I wonder how he'll pitch.

Today's game starts
with batter one Lee Han at bat.

-Go!
-Let's go.

LET'S GO FOR A CLEAN SWEEP

The first pitch is an outside strike.

-Good.
-It's good.

GOOD JOB, WON-SAM

-Today is the day.
-Good pitching.

It's the Korean Series.

A ground ball goes straight
to the pitcher.

Jang Won-sam
takes care of it comfortably. One out.

GOOD START

-It was a slider at 120km/h.
-Nice.

He was prepared to play defense
after pitching.

So he took care of it well.

Jang Won-sam turned into a fielder
that protects the center.

His contact woke me up.

Batter two Kim Jun-sang is at bat.

He's a batter that makes contacts.

Pitcher Jang Won-sam.

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

HE HITS!

Okay!

Okay!

It goes to center.
Center fielder spots it.

He takes care of it.

Lee Taek-keun
got the second out of the inning.

2 OUTS

IT'S EASY

-It's getting faster!
-Nice one!

-The bat got pushed back.
-It's easy!

Won-sam's movements seem
very light from the beginning.

-He throws very rhythmically.
-Yes.

Today he got two outs
with a ground ball and a fly ball.

Batter three Kim Su-yun is at bat.

Yesterday, he was batter seven.

Today, he's batter three, first baseman.

-Kim Su-yun!
-Hit it!

HE HITS!

Kim Su-yun!

It goes high and right.

It's gone.

NO WAY

-Can he get it? No?
-He can.

Right fielder runs back.

He catches it
in front of the warning track.

He got it! Okay!

That was clean!

Starting pitcher Jang Won-sam

ends the inning after three batters.

-Nice.
-Okay.

Seven innings, no points lost.
You have two innings left.

RETURNING IN GLORY

-Win!
-Okay.

-They're dead.
-Nice one!

You're 25km/h faster than me.

-He's confident.
-Slow down.

BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
DINOS 0 : 0 MONSTERS

The starting pitcher of the Dinos
is Lee Hyun-woo.

His fastest pitch is 145km/h.

The balls he throws have a high spin rate,

so his pitches are weighty.

Who is he? His RPM is 2,600.

The spin rate is high,
so I think his fastballs are powerful.

Go!

The Monsters' batting order
definitely changed.

Jeong Keun-woo is back as batter one.

Yes. Manager Park thinks

that we need to score
at least five points to win today.

So he's trusting the batting order
that starts with Keun-woo.

Right.

Under Acting Manager Park's system,
Keun-woo is back as batter one.

Let's have a hit from batter one.

Let's go!

STRIKE

It goes in far. It's a strike.

It was a fastball at 138km/h.

He's chosen as the starter
because he throws aggressively.

You can see that
his pitching form is stable.

Yes.

He has the most home runs
and second most RBIs on the team.

HE HITS!

The ball hits the edge of the bat.
Second base.

Lee Han throws it to first base.

It's the first out of the inning.

Okay!

WE'RE PROS

UPSET…

Yesterday, he was the fourth hitter.

Today, Kim Moon-ho is back as batter two.

Don't hit the high one.

SURPRISE BUNT

He bunts.

He bunts.

It's a foul.

Moon-ho went for a surprise bunt.

THE BALL WENT OUT OF THE LINE…

Third baseman is over there.

Do what you're good at.

-Third baseman is far away.
-Hit it!

Third base is empty!

A BUNT OR A HIT?

A low course. It's a strike.

LEE HYUN-WOO IS IMPECCABLE

NICE PITCH

Nice ball.

That was really good.

You can't react
when it drops slightly like that.

-You have to hit that.
-It was good.

The ball hit the low strike zone.

HE HITS!

He hits.

The ball flies high
and lands on the center fielder's glove.

Now it's two outs.

TOO BAD

Hey.

ONE OUT LEFT

Lee Hyun-woo will face
batter three Lee Taek-keun.

Shift to center-right slightly like this.

Left fielder, go more.

Okay.

Yesterday's batter one Lee Taek-keun
is now batter three.

-I'm looking forward to his play.
-Yes.

I'LL ERASE YESTERDAY'S SLUMP

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

Lee Taek-keun!

-Nice play!
-Nice play!

HE HITS!

He hits. It goes right.

Right fielder knows where it falls.

Three outs.

Okay.

Okay. Good job. Nice.

Both teams finished the inning
after three batters.

Today's game starts
with a score of zero to zero again.

BOTH TEAMS DIDN'T SCORE
IN THE 1ST INNING

Good job!

Nice.

Good.

Okay!

We'll make another chance.

It's the top of the second inning.

Both teams' starting pitchers

had 1-2-3 innings.

Top of the second inning.

Jang Won-sam
has to stop the Dinos' attack.

DH Choi Bo-sung is the first hitter.

Let's go, Bo-sung!

Get on base!

HE HITS!

He pulls. Shortstop Chi Seok-hoon.

First base. The ball bounces once.
It's one out.

JEEZ, CHI SEOK-HOON!

It was a low throw.

That wasn't a stable catch either.

Seo Dong-wook caught it well.

Because it was a normal hit,

I thought it'd be an easy out.

But the throw was short.

Dong-wook caught it really well.

Today, the Monsters
should never make an error.

Right.

Batter five Lee In-hyuk is at bat.

He graduated from Duksoo High School.

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

Outside.

It's 130km/h.

Good!

Why is the ball so fast?

He said he'd give his all.

He's a fireballer.

-Okay.
-Nice ball.

He's in good condition.

-He's good.
-Throw low!

-Lee In-hyuk, hit it!
-Lee In-hyuk, hit it!

Hit it hard!

Outside. A strike with a good course.

HE KEEPS LOSING THE TIMING

-Good! He can't hit it.
-Good height!

If his sliders keep going in
at that height like that,

I think he can throw many innings today.

He sure is the man of autumn.

You're right.

In-hyuk has to hit a low one.

He's throwing as low as possible
to get strikeouts.

-Lee In-hyuk, hit it!
-I think it'll be a slider.

STRIKEOUT

He misses. It's a strikeout!

-Strike!
-Nice!

Three!

THAT'S JANG WON-SAM!

Come on!

Okay.

DIZZY

Jang Won-sam starts to soar in autumn.

This really is autumn baseball.

-Of course.
-Won-sam is throwing perfect pitches

to make the hitters swing and miss,
and get strikeouts.

He's so reliable on the mound.

Yes.

Won-sam had all five batters out in a row.

Now Oh Sung-taek is at bat.

He was picked in the eighth round
of the second draft last time.

He graduated from Dong-a University.

Don't rush!

Let's go.

-Oh Sung-taek!
-Oh Sung-taek!

-The first pitch is a strike.
-Good!

Nice ball!

-A little faster!
-No.

-He'll get hurt.
-It's 135km/h!

STOP THROWING FAST ONES…

Catcher Yoon Jun-ho sits outward.

Outside course. It's another strike.

Let's go!

IT'S NOT EASY…

Jun-ho places his mitt low.

This time, it comes in high,
close to the hitter.

It's 132km/h.

Good.

-It's getting faster!
-It's 135km/h!

Another one close to the hitter.

CLOSE TO THE HITTER AGAIN!

It's time to throw a deciding pitch.

TIME FOR A DECIDING PITCH

-Strike!
-It goes in!

It goes in!

Strikeout looking.

HE RIPPED IT

Hey! Yes!

Good!

I got goosebumps.

Unbelievable.

The stadium is covered with fall leaves.
Fall has begun.

Jang Won-sam has returned.

Won-sam!

CRYING

I forgot about Fall Man.

(PITCHING COACH IS PROUD)

-Amazing!
-One left.

-Nice.
-The last one was great.

-Five innings left.
-It's Masan.

-Five innings left.
-Five innings left.

I told you I'd rip it.

-Nice.
-I ripped it.

-You're back!
-I told you.

Jang Won-sam is back.

-I told you.
-You're so cool.

Won-sam, nice ball.

It's the bottom of the second inning.

LEE HYUN-WOO IS STILL ON THE MOUND

Lee Hong-ku is today's DH.

Yesterday,
the Monsters lost a lot of points

in the fourth inning.
He feels somewhat responsible.

HE WANTS TO LEAD THE TEAM TO VICTORY

He pulls. It goes beyond the foul line.

He made good contact.

He makes good contact.

Good swing!

Acting Manager Park made Hong-ku DH

because he made good contact
and good hits yesterday.

-Right.
-He trusts him.

Today, Hong-ku has to focus on batting

and hit a home run or a long hit.

-Right.
-Yes.

Jeez.

Jeez.

It goes high.

-Darn it.
-Lee Hong-ku's first at-bat

ended with a fly ball.

1 OUT

-Okay. Good.
-Okay!

LEE HYUN-WOO'S BALL IS HARD TO HIT

Eui-yoon, it spins a lot,
so the high ones float.

Okay.

Show them!

JUNG EUI-YOON MUST GET ON BASE

Get on base!

EUI-YOON, PLEASE MAKE A HIT…

Please hit one, Eui-yoon.

Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.

He watches the first pitch. One ball.

EUI-YOON WATCHED A HIGH BALL

Good. Good timing.

Jung Eui-yoon!

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

2 BALLS

Good.

-Okay.
-Good!

Clearly, he has a good eye for balls.

Good.

HE WASN'T FOOLED

Today, instead of showing a lot at once,

we need to lead the game

-by gaining momentum.
-Yes.

It's very important to get on base
for the Monsters.

DINOS 0 : 0 MONSTERS

It's low. Four balls.

-He gets on base on balls.
-Okay!

GETTING ON BASE IS GOOD

Good eye.

Jung Eui-yoon got on base
against a good pitcher.

One out. A runner on first base.

Batter six Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

If the Monsters
want to play the game easily,

-they need to have long hits.
-Of course.

We need home runs.

Seo Dong-wook's hit touched
the top of the fence yesterday.

DINOS 0 : 0 MONSTERS

Run!

-He makes contact.
-Run!

-The pitcher…
-It's a good course!

It's a good course!

One!

It's in!

-He makes contact.
-One!

-Pitcher, catcher…
-The catcher runs in!

-Good.
-He couldn't throw it to first base.

PARK SUNG-JAE
COULDN'T THROW IT TO 1ST BASE

-Seo Dong-wook got an infield hit.
-A hit.

-It's in! Okay!
-Okay!

Yes.

WE GAINED MOMENTUM!

We got it!

He didn't go for it
because he thought it was a foul.

It slightly skipped off the bat.

So the hit probably spun a lot.

They thought it could be a foul.

The catcher quickly caught it.
And it became an infield hit.

It's one out,
runners on first and second bases.

It's a good chance for us.

Lee Hyun-woo started with a 1-2-3 inning.

After four balls and a hit,
he faces a crisis.

Now, Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

CHOI SOO-HYUN IS IN SCORING POSITION

You need to pitch head-on!

Don't back off.

THE MONSTER CAN SCORE WITH A HIT

STRIKE

Okay.

Okay. Nice ball!

NICE HYUN-WOO

Okay! Don't hesitate.

We lost yesterday's game,
so we need to score early on.

Otherwise,
we'll be dragged psychologically.

We're expecting a lot
from this first chance.

That's right.

HE HITS!

He hits the third pitch.

Not a ground ball.

MAKING A DASH

He hits.

Second baseman catches it. To shortstop

and all the way to first base.

The Dinos' perfect defense shift
was successful.

-Okay!
-Nice.

-Nice.
-Good.

We had a chance,

but CK Monsters couldn't score.

THE NIGHTMARE
OF THE 1ST MATCH RETURNS

I think he's hurt.

-Where?
-Ankle.

Soo-hyun?

-Is it your ankle?
-What?

-The taped ankle?
-No.

It's the thigh.

Soo-hyun's leg is hurting.

He hurt his thigh.

THE MONSTERS HAVE
NO SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS

-Are you okay?
-Yes, sir.

Are you all right?

-Don't look like you're hurt then.
-Okay.

JOKING

-Soo-hyun.
-Yes, sir.

-You have to play. You can't be in pain.
-Okay.

CAN THEY OVERCOME THE CRISIS?

We got momentum!

WE GAINED MOMENTUM!

-Fielders.
-Yes, sir.

The zone is very big.
You need to be aggressive.

-Don't wait.
-Yes, sir!

-Come on!
-Let's go, Dinos!

We got one chance!

It's the top of the third inning.
The Dinos are at bat.

Let's go!

Suh Jun-kyo is in the starting lineup
as a shortstop today.

He's batter seven.

It's a ground ball.

Both Shortstop
and second baseman can't catch it.

-Nice.
-It was in the dead center.

-Good job.
-Suh Jun-kyo.

LET'S ATTACK!

-Nice!
-This is it.

-No.
-Too bad.

THE MONSTERS LET THEM ON BASE
FOR THE FIRST TIME

He had good control.

Jeez, I tripped on the mound.

No outs. A runner on first base.

NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

When a runner is on base, we get nervous.

Yes.

We need to pay attention to this player.

In the 2022 draft,
he was the Dinos' first pick.

He's amazing.

They picked Park Sung-jae
before they chose anyone else.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Okay.

-Nice ball!
-The first pitch is a strike.

It was a good one close to the hitter.

Keep it up!

STRIKE

It's a foul.

We need to play baseball
with the fielders.

Yes.

It'd be nice to induce ground balls

and get a double play.

-Double! Infield!
-Double!

Seok-hoon, here comes a ball. Double.

SEOK-HOON, GET READY!

It's two strikes.

HE HITS!

He pulls.

-Good. Double.
-We got it!

He pulls.

Third baseman can't catch it.

HE MISSES THE BALL!

THE DINOS ATTACK

-It's big!
-Let's go.

Third!

First base runner
goes all the way to third base.

-Third!
-To third base.

-He keeps running!
-He's going.

No.

Not home plate.

He reaches home plate.

-Okay.
-All right.

DINOS 1 : 0 MONSTERS

-Sung-jae!
-Good!

The Dinos scored first today.

SUDDENLY THE TABLES ARE TURNED

It was in?

When the Dinos get a chance,
they become powerful.

The runners are
really good at base running.

Third baseman, Jeong Keun-woo,
couldn't catch the ball.

Suh Jun-kyo who was on first base
reached home plate.

-Jun-kyo!
-Okay.

THIS IS ONLY A START!

The score is one to zero.

The Dinos scored first today.

He hit when it was two strikes, no balls.

DISTURBED

Timeout!

Acting Manager Park
visits the mound quickly.

Jang Won-sam is in good condition,

but let's see what he thinks.

The count was favorable to us.

Yes, it was.

-Compared to the second inning…
-I'm a little tired.

-Right? It's a little slower.
-Yes.

Let's call it a day, Won-sam.

-Now?
-Yes.

Too bad.

-They went around once.
-Yes.

-Let's stop here.
-Okay.

-I should've…
-Good work.

Okay.

I went too easy on them.

-He's substituting for him. That's fast.
-A quick substitution.

That's really quick.

I thought Won-sam was in good condition
in the first and second innings.

Acting Manager Park Yong-taek
made a tough decision.

ACTING MANAGER'S TOUGH DECISION

I learned a lesson
from the first round with the Dinos.

I might regret
making a pitcher substitution.

Still, it's better
to make a substitution quickly.

I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!

Then, the next pitcher is…

-It's Song Seung-jun.
-He picked Song Seung-jun.

That's a powerful strategy.

PITCHER SONG SEUNG-JUN

He thought he couldn't let them
score more at the beginning.

That's why he made a drastic substitution.

Take it slow.

Toward the hitter.

A lot of pitches went close to the hitter
yesterday and today.

The Dinos are all after the fastballs.

-You take care of it.
-Okay.

A runner on second base.

No outs with a runner on second base.

WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT
OF THE SUBSTITUTION?

He made this strategy
because we don't have many pitchers.

After Song Seung-jun, it'd be

Yoo Hee-kwan,
after him would be Oh Ju-won.

After him…

-Yes.
-After him?

It has to go like this.

That was a drastic decision.

NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

The pitcher substitution happened
quicker than expected.

Now Choi Seung-min is at bat.

CHOI SEUNG-MIN, A FAST RUNNER

I MUST STOP HIM NO MATTER WHAT

The first pitch is a strike.

-Okay.
-Nice ball.

NICE

Good catch.

We lost one point,

but if we stop this,
the Monsters will gain big momentum.

It all depends on Song Seung-jun.

The first one is a strike.

Batter nine Choi Seung-min.

-It goes in.
-Strike.

-Okay!
-Okay!

-Nice ball.
-Good.

Song Seung-jun chose
another dropping ball.

-It's a favorable count.
-It's two strikes.

Now we're expecting a strikeout
from Song Seung-jun.

He has a favorable count,
so he can't have a ground ball.

This is the most important pitch of today.

-This hit goes high.
-Okay.

The ball stays in the infield.

-Choi Soo-hyun.
-Second baseman Choi Soo-hyun

takes care of it.

-Okay.
-Nice.

Pitcher Song Seung-jun
gets an out without an extra runner

getting on base.

Yes. This is what
Acting Manager Park wanted.

It's a good thing
Seung-jun got an out like this.

Now, two outs left.

One out. A runner on second base.

It was a precious out.

The Dinos' strategy will have to change

if there is a runner on second base
with no outs versus one out.

Anyway,
now they can score only with a hit.

We made it that way.

Trying to bunt.

Hey.

A fastball enters the strike zone.

Okay!

Manager Kong Pill-sung
and Acting Manager Park Yong-taek

are having a fierce brain battle.

THE MANAGERS HAVE A FIERCE BATTLE

THE DEFENSE IS NERVOUS

-He swings and misses.
-Okay.

Very nice.

-Okay.
-Okay.

That was a great one.

JEALOUS

-It was Seung-jun's fastest pitch today.
-Yes.

Don't hit that.

You shouldn't hit that.

After a high fastball,

what will Seung-jun
and Jun-ho choose next?

THE BATTERY EXCHANGES SIGNS

WHAT WILL SEUNG-JUN THROW?

-He can't hit the dropping ball.
-Good.

He swings and misses.
Uncaught third strike.

Throwing to first base.
It's the second out of the inning.

-Uncaught third strike.
-Okay.

YES!

-Nice ball!
-Nice ball.

It's good!

This is very nerve-wracking.

If the Dinos fail to score
when it's no outs

with a runner on second base,

they would be in a situation
we were in yesterday.

Right.

Manager Kong Pill-sung knows
how important this is.

Scoring a point or not

became a very important point
in how the game will play out.

The first pro team on A Clean Sweep

is the Dinos.

-The ball bounces.
-Third!

-No!
-Stop!

The runner couldn't move.

Do you know what?

Yesterday, the runners ran
as soon as the ball bounced.

Yes.

THE DINOS STOLE THE BASE
AGGRESSIVELY

HONG-KU DROPPED THE BALL

AND FAILED TO STOP THE DINOS
FROM STEALING BASE

One variable has changed.

Yoon Jun-ho is good at blocking.

They know he'll catch the bounced ball.

-Right.
-That's the effect.

JUN-HO KEEPS RUNNERS ON BASE

Two outs. A runner on second base.

HE HITS!

Close to the hitter! Shortstop!

THE BALL GOES TOWARD SHORTSTOP

He catches it! And first base!

He's out on first base!

-Okay! Good!
-We got him.

He stopped them.

THE DINOS COULDN'T USE THE CHANCE

Seung-jun, the substitute pitcher,

-didn't let them score any points.
-You blocked them.

-One point is okay.
-The score is one to zero.

There's only one point difference.

-He's reliable.
-Nice.

-Nice.
-Good job.

-Okay.
-Well done.

Nice hit.

We'll score now.

We have to score.

Let's go, batters.

We have to score to win.

Jun-ho, get the right timing and kill it.

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

You should hit a home run before you go.

The score is one to zero.

The Monsters will be at bat
in the bottom of the third inning.

-Hyun-woo, let's go!
-Let's go.

Leadoff hitter Yoon Ju-ho.

It's his last game with the Monsters.

I wanted to win today
more than I ever did.

I thought it would be nice
to get an MVP before I leave.

He pulls. It sounds like his bat split.

Third baseman catches it. To first base.

He's out on first base.

Okay.

NOT A CHANCE

Good.

SIGH…

I'LL GET ON BASE

-Seok-hoon, timing.
-Yes, sir.

"Chi Seok-hoon over Nichkhun."

LAUGHING

He looks like a nutcase.

-"Chi Seok-hoon over Nichkhun!"
-No Jin-hyuk.

What is No Jin-hyuk doing here?

"Chi Seok-hoon over Nichkhun?"

I think he's doing that

to ask General Manager Jang
for an FA contract.

-"How about buy one get one free?"
-Yes.

SIGN CHI SEOK-HOON
AND GET NO JIN-HYUK FOR FREE?

-He hits.
-To the center.

It's a hit.

HIRE CHI SEOK-HOON FULL-TIME!

-Come on!
-A hit.

Batter nine Chi Seok-hoon gets on base.

He had a hit yesterday and today.

Chi Seok-hoon!

CHI SEOK-HOON OVER NICHKHUN!

-Good job!
-He did it!

(SMACKING LIPS)

Seok-hoon had a hit on his first at-bat.

The players of the Dinos are…

Are they happy for him or laughing at him?

YES(?)

(THEY'RE MAKING FUN OF HIM FOR SURE)

Chi Seok-hoon is so popular.

SEOK-HOON IS THE HOTTIE

Now it's Jeong Keun-woo.

1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

We have to score here.

-We must score.
-We need to score a point.

-First pitch is a ball.
-Ball.

The last inning was a big crisis.

Anyway, we overcame the crisis
and lost only one point.

The Monsters
have to change the atmosphere quickly.

Yes.

He's running!

CHI SEOK-HOON STEALS BASE
BY SURPRISE

He's running!

The second pitch is close to the hitter.

-Chi Seok-hoon starts to run!
-He's stealing a base!

He stole a base!

What? Are they going easy on Seok-hoon?

-Why didn't they throw the ball?
-He stole a base?

Chi Seok-hoon stole a base.

NOBODY EXPECTED HIM TO STEAL BASE

He read the pitching form
because he was on the same team

-with the young players.
-I see.

Seok-hoon read the sign wrong.

I didn't give a sign nor did Seong-hoon.

He ran like crazy on his own.

-Did he?
-Yes.

I see.

I know he isn't a fast runner.

I was taken aback.

The runner is in scoring position.

1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

He has the most home runs
and RBIs on the team.

PERFECT CHANCE FOR KEUN-WOO

The runner is in scoring position
for Keun-woo.

Bring the outfielders in a little.

Prepare for a runner heading home.

Let's go! Let's do it!

DINOS 1 : 0 MONSTERS

It's high. Three balls.

Lee Hyun-woo is feeling the pressure.

-Okay. Good.
-Good.

SAD VERSUS HAPPY

Keun-woo is a good batter,

-so he must hit even if it's three balls.
-Yes.

Instead of waiting for the next batter,
he should do it himself.

I don't know.
I wanted to make something happen.

I have to do this for my team now.

HE HITS!

He pulls. Third baseman catches it
in foul territory. It's a foul.

-Good. Good job!
-Nice.

So close!

Why did I swing like this?

Jeez.

If the ball falls in the infield,
I think the Dinos will

-turn it into an out.
-Right.

So I'm nervous.

It looks like there are a lot of fielders

-because the Dinos are good at defense.
-Right.

Let's try it! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's get him!

DINOS 1 : 0 MONSTERS

HE HITS!

-He hits. Center.
-He did it! He has to come home!

-That's it!
-It's a hit!

-Home!
-He did it!

-Go!
-Come in!

MAKING A DASH

Center fielder moved down.

-Stop.
-A fast throw.

Chi Seok-hoon couldn't reach home plate.

-No.
-Stop.

The defense came in.

Choi Seung-min caught it very quickly.

The Dinos play really good defense.

So it's very hard for us to score a point.

But Chi Seok-hoon stole the base.

Jeong Keun-woo had a hit.

Those two batters did a great job.

He's going to run.
Always keep that in mind.

Don't rush!

-Hyun-woo, let's stop them.
-Okay.

Hyun-woo, nice ball! You're good!

I'LL STOP THEM NO MATTER WHAT!

Batter two Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

Moon-ho, you're our only hope!

You have to make a result!

Show some impact.

Third base runner will make a tie.
First base runner will turn the tables.

Kim Moon-ho's role is important.

This is the second chance
for the Monsters today.

-Outside.
-He's feeling the pressure.

-He lost a lot of energy.
-He's tired.

If we hit a home run,
we can gain huge momentum.

-That's why everyone loves a home run.
-Right.

A home run is the best thing
to turn the tables around.

Exactly.

In this situation,
we're sure to score one point.

But we're expecting Kim Moon-ho to do

more than that.

HE HITS!

He pushes. It goes left.

-Nice.
-Okay.

-Okay.
-It's good.

-It's done. Run.
-Back!

A THREE-RUN HOMER?

NO…

IT'S GOING OVER…

He pushes. It goes left.

-It goes over!
-He goes after it!

He's after it!

He catches it right in front of the fence.

3RD BASE RUNNER TAGS UP

Third base runner tags up.

-Slowly.
-He reaches home base.

-CK Monsters
-Nice.

-make it a tie.
-Good job!

They make us expect today
to be different from yesterday.

Nice.

We hoped for a long hit.

But it was difficult to score a point.

The hit reached the warning track.

But left fielder Oh Sung-taek caught it.

Chi Seok-hoon tagged up and scored.

-Jeez!
-Well done.

I can't believe it didn't go over.

Moon-ho always falls short.

No, he's reliable.

The score is one to one.

Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

He hit the second most number
of two-base hits.

Taek-keun, the pitch became really slow.
It's your ball.

He holds back!

Lee Taek-keun gets on base on balls.

JEEZ…

-Yes!
-Okay.

Hong-ku, let's go!

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-His battery is almost done.
-You can't miss it.

The fourth hitter is up next.

I'll go hard.

-Take it easy.
-Okay.

I CAN'T LOSE ANY MORE POINTS

Outfielders have to stop two-base hits.

It's okay to let them hit.

EXTREMELY NERVOUS

A crisis for the Dinos.
A chance for the Monsters.

BOTH TEAMS' FATE DEPENDS ON IT

Fourth hitter Lee Hong-ku
is faced with the situation.

One good hit can finish the game.

How will Hong-ku end this?

Lee Hong-ku!

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

It's a foul that goes back.

JEEZ…

It should've been something.

It was a bad pitch.

-He should've hit it hard.
-Timing!

What it means

to be the fourth hitter of the Monsters.

His recent batting record proves it.

The ball grazes the bat.

JEEZ!

-Okay. Good swing.
-Good. You fought it.

I heard the ball brush past the bat.

IT BECAME A STRIKE

That was dangerous.

THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE
TO LEE HYUN-WOO

Because it's two outs,

if Hong-ku is out,
there will be no more batters.

The inning will be over.

PLEASE HONG-KU…

-He pulls!
-That's it!

-A hit to the left!
-That's it!

He did it!

-Go!
-Run!

He did it.

-Go!
-Go in!

-Go.
-Second base runner reaches third base.

He throws it to home plate.

The runner reaches home plate first!

DINOS 1 : 2 MONSTERS

-Okay.
-A timely hit.

Fourth hitter Lee Hong-ku
turns the tables around.

-What?
-What happened?

What happened to his shoulder?

Lee Taek-keun crashed with a fielder

on second base, and he's in a lot of pain.

GROANING…

The ball wasn't thrown to home base,

but to second base.

Lee Taek-keun had a crash.

TAEK-KEUN CRASHED WITH 2ND BASEMAN

I think his ears are ringing.

I think so.

Also, there was a request
for instant replay.

Go!

-Instant replay.
-Instant replay.

URGENTLY

Instant replay, please.

REQUEST FOR INSTANT REPLAY

-Is it out?
-I think so.

Did he reach home base first?

We aren't sure.

IF TAEK-KEUN WAS OUT
BEFORE KEUN-WOO REACHED HOME PLATE,

THEN THE SCORE IS VOID

If he's out, the situation will be
similar to yesterday.

This is when he turned to tag.

His face

-and ear.
-It was his face and ear.

Here.

HIS HAND TOUCHED BASE FIRST

Safe.

YES!

-Safe!
-Yes!

THANK GOODNESS

Play safe!

Lee Taek-keun!

Taek-keun!

-I'm sorry, sir.
-It's okay.

-Hong-ku!
-Taek-keun!

HONG-KU TURNED THE TABLES AROUND

Since the last inning,
everything fell into place,

and now we turned the tables around.

The score is two to one.

Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.

You have to make a hit now.
This is your chance.

Two outs. Runners on first and second.

Please send it over the fence.

-Nice ball. Good!
-He watches the first pitch.

It's close to the hitter again.

SIGHING…

Hey.

Eui-yoon, hit one.

PRAYING

You can do it easily.

Okay. You watched one. You got it.

We shouldn't stop. We have to continue.

Two outs.

The Monsters can't look back.

We have one chance. We want to continue.

ANOTHER HIT, ANOTHER POINT

If you hit here, we can win.

-Eui-yoon.
-Two strikes.

-He hits the breaking ball.
-Okay.

To the center.

Center fielder takes care of this hit.

Three outs. The inning is over.

GROANING…

Eui-yoon gets caught too many times.

CK Monsters.
With Kim Moon-ho's sacrifice hit

and Lee Hong-ku's timely hit,
we turned the tables around.

Taek-keun. Good job.

Don't exaggerate. You're okay, right?

-Nice.
-Jeez.

-Did you get tagged in the face?
-I got a blow.

-In the mouth.
-He tagged his mouth.

He's all right with it.

We did really great this inning.
Thank you.

How did Chi Seok-hoon do that?

-It was unexpected.
-It was a lucky break.

LAUGHING OUT LOUD

We need to make an opportunity.

First hitter will get on base!

Okay! One chance!

-Okay.
-All right.

-One chance!
-Go!

It's the top of the fourth inning.

The Dinos allowed the tables to be turned.

Thank goodness. Lee Taek-keun is back.

I got hit in the face.

SEUNG-JUN IS STILL PITCHING

Acting Manager Park stopped

the crisis by substituting
Seung-jun quickly and turned the tables.

So far, it was perfect.

But we need to consider

-this one problem.
-What is it?

He used all his energy
when we pitched a mid-inning.

He'll feel totally different
when he comes out of the dugout.

Let's trust him until the end.

ACTING MANAGER PARK TRUSTS SEUNG-JUN

HOW WILL SEUNG-JUN PITCH?

Kim Su-yun is at bat.

BATTER 3 KIM SU-YUN IS AT BAT

Do your thing.

Let's get on base!

It's really important for the Monsters
to stop the hitters.

HE HITS!

He pulls.
Shortstop Chi Seok-hoon catches it.

How will he throw?

It goes to first base perfectly.

-Okay!
-Nice.

I'll drill them until I throw four balls.

That was very important.

He got an out. It was very clean.

Song Seung-jun and Shortstop Chi Seok-hoon

turned a ground ball into an out.

Now batter four Choi Bo-sung is at bat.

Don't think too much.

It's okay to be struck out.
Swing all you want.

Hit it!

Do it!

He hits the first pitch, a breaking ball.

He hits the first pitch, a breaking ball.

Chi Seok-hoon couldn't get to it.

NICE BO-SUNG!

Nice batting.

-A hit in front of center fielder.
-Good batting.

A DARING HIT AGAINST THE FIRST PITCH

I almost had it.

SEOK-HOON MISSED THE BALL

It went over because he has power.

The ball went slightly over the height.

Now it's Yi In-hyok.

IN-HYOK HAS TO CONTINUE THE FLOW

Let's go, In-hyok.

One out. A runner on first base.

Yi In-hyok!

Three!

Stop.

1ST BASE RUNNER CAN'T GO TO 2ND BASE

-Good job, Jun-ho.
-Good blocking.

JUN-HO'S BLOCKING STOPPED THEM
FROM RUNNING

All breaking balls.

CAREFULLY THIS TIME!

DINOS 1 : 2 MONSTERS

A dropping ball. He pulls his bat back.

NICE EYE

Okay. Good eye.

-Jeez.
-He didn't swing?

It dropped really well.

IN-HYOK IS BEING VERY CAREFUL

The count is unfavorable
to Song Seung-jun.

3 BALLS

Good job!

Let's get on base!

Seung-jun is different
from the previous inning.

He was perfect in the previous inning.

When is the right time?

Substitution is
the most difficult decision to make.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Right-handed batters.

Acting Manager Park
is thinking if he should

make a substitution.

Yoo Hee-kwan is ready.

HEE-KWAN IS READY TO PITCH

The team's second pitcher Song Seung-jun

is facing a crisis
with a runner on first base.

It goes in low. Four balls.

WE GAINED MOMENTUM!

-Good!
-Okay!

Jeez, he didn't swing?

THIS IS NOT RIGHT

A hit and a walk. Two runners got on base.

Acting Manager Park is visiting the mound.

What's his decision?

-I think Hee-kwan will pitch.
-Yes.

He doesn't swing.

You have to get rid of all the runners.

-He keeps him.
-He trusts Seung-jun.

They changed the strategy a little.

-Yes.
-Right.

Keep that in mind.

Here's the thing.

Hee-kwan is better
against right-handed batters.

Still, Manager Park
counts on Seung-jun and keeps him.

I TRUST YOU, SEUNG-JUN…

Please.

CAN SEUNG-JUN
LIVE UP TO THE MANAGER'S TRUST?

Oh Sung-taek is at bat.

There are two outs left.

Runners are on first and second bases.

Let's go, Sung-taek.

BATTER OH SUNG-TAEK IS
GOOD AT TRICKS

Let's go for a double!

You can do this!

You can stop him.

DINOS 1 : 2 MONSTERS

A foul toward third base.

It's okay. Nice batting. Good job.

Hit it in!

DINOS 1 : 2 MONSTERS

A breaking ball goes in.

He should've hit this one.

-Come on!
-That's it.

With two pitches, he made strikes

and stole the batter's timing.

The batter is feeling the pressure.

THE COUNT IS UNFAVORABLE
TO OH SUNG-TAEK

Second base runner can make a tie,
and first can turn the tables.

WITH ONE STRIKE,
HE CAN MAKE A STRIKEOUT

-The third pitch bounces.
-Third.

The runners can't move though.

-Good.
-Good blocking.

Just trust him and throw.

The runners know that they can't advance
if the ball is blocked,

so they don't even start to run.

Again,
Yoon Jun-ho keeps the runners on base.

When a pitcher throws splitters,
you need a good catcher.

He needs to block perfectly.

What I'm thinking is
Song Seung-jun throwing a splitter.

Chi Seok-hoon, Choi Soo-hyun,
and Jeong Keun-woo

should all work together
to make a double play.

They exchanged one sign.

Throw a splitter.

This is going to be a ground ball.

He has to hit a high breaking ball.

HIT A HIGH BREAKING BALL

THROW A BREAKING BALL!

Let's go, Oh Sung-taek.

The atmosphere is becoming tense.

One ball, two strikes.

Strikeout looking!

Outside. Strikeout looking!

THAT'S CRAZY!

HE THREW A FASTBALL…

The batter thought

he would throw a breaking ball.

But he threw a four-seam.

He didn't expect it at all,
so he was struck out.

-Why didn't he hit it?
-Because it went in the center.

-Right?
-Yes.

Nice ball.

He's been playing baseball for years.

It's two outs. There's one out left.

Suh Jun-kyo is at bat.

SUH JUN-KYO HAD A HIT PREVIOUSLY

Let's go!

We're good. We can keep going
if we take this one out.

But the inning isn't over yet.

RUNNERS ARE STILL
IN SCORING POSITION

DRY MOUTH

Seung-jun, just one! With all your might!

DINOS 1 : 2 MONSTERS

HE HITS!

Okay.

It's a ground ball.

-He got it!
-Third baseman catches it.

-Tag!
-He waits and tags him! He's out!

Acting Manager Park trusted him.

Song Seung-jun guarded
the top of the fourth inning.

UPSET…

This is annoying.

-Nice ball.
-Nice.

I TRUSTED HIM!

The score is still two to one.

-Good job!
-The Monsters are ahead.

Playing to guard the lead.

Acting Manager, experience it.

Are you supporting him

-or not?
-I am.

It's the top of the fifth inning.

Acting Manager Park
puts Yoo Hee-kwan on the mound.

Yes. They're winning two to one.

Acting Manager Park expects Hee-kwan
to throw until the ninth inning.

ACTING MANAGER PARK'S
AGGRESSIVE MOVE

-This is it for us.
-Yes.

I felt more pressure today
than when I was a starting pitcher.

Because I have to guard the lead
and throw for more innings.

I felt like I must stop them.

I MUST STOP THEM

Only 2 bases on balls in 65 innings.

I had four bases on balls yesterday.

Hee-kwan.

RESTLESS…

Park Sung-jae is at bat.

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

WHAT WILL HEE-KWAN THROW FIRST?

HE HITS!

It skips off the bat. It's high.

-Okay.
-Shortstop is after it.

-Go!
-Easy!

-Seok-hoon.
-Chi Seok-hoon catches it.

-One pitch. One out.
-Yes.

-Is it already one out?
-Yes.

Hee-kwan is the best.

There are the 5th, 6th,
7th, 8th, and 9th innings.

There are five innings left.

Surely, Yoo Hee-kwan can do it.

He didn't get an MVP even when he threw
for six innings and lost one point.

The Monsters expect a lot from him.

Now, Choi Seung-min is at bat.

STRIKE

-Nice ball.
-A slow ball goes into the strike zone.

SURPRISED!

-It's 95km/h.
-Yoo Hee-kwan, let's go.

I'm sure the second-string players
have heard Hee-kwan a lot.

-Legendary Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Of course.

Why is his slow ball so hard to hit?

He's a first-string.

-Good!
-Nice!

A fastball at 121km/h.

He's a first-string pitcher.

HELPLESS

Hit it!

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

-The count is unfavorable to the batter.
-Go.

No!

HE HITS!

IT HEADS CENTER-RIGHT

The ball hits the end of the bat.
It's ambiguous.

Go.

Jeez.

He got on base.

It fell on the outfield. It's a hit.

Okay.

GOOD JOB ON GETTING ON BASE!

This happened several times already.

After one out,
a batter got on base with a hit.

Let's go for a double.

It's batter one Lee Han.

He got the manager's signal.

GIVING AN ORDER

What's their strategy?

1ST BASE RUNNER GETS READY TO RUN

Let's go for a double! Double play.

-He bunts.
-It's a bunt.

A SURPRISE BUNT BY THE DINOS!

It's a foul.

FURIOUS…

You see the ball, but it's hard to hit.

They're using
a surprise bunt strategy to get on base.

Just hit it.
When it comes in, just hit it.

-He's nervous.
-Let's see if you can run.

-Hey!
-He's running!

-Okay.
-What?

-Run.
-He's in a pickle.

-Third baseman catches it.
-Third!

The batter is out on first base.

First base!

-Third!
-Third!

Third base is empty.

1ST BASE RUNNER GETS ON 3RD BASE!

PLEASED

Nice.

-What?
-What?

When third baseman Keun-woo
threw the ball, third became empty.

Chi Seok-hoon
was too slow to cover third base.

The runner reached second base,
then went all the way to third.

The Dinos are amazing
at snatching the chance when they see one.

Actually, this is how professionals play.

Even though they're second-string,
there are so many great players.

It's two outs. A runner on third base.

A runner on third is no different
from one on second.

Batter two Kim Jun-sang is at bat.

-Okay.
-Let's go, Jun-sang.

Be confident!

Let's go.

You have to do it. Piss them off.

-Okay. Two outs!
-Stop him here.

Hee-kwan has a serious battle face on.

-Okay.
-Strike!

That's it.

Good!

It goes in close to the batter.

Was it too deep? One ball, one strike.

With one hit, the score will be tied.

So I have to

watch Hee-kwan pitch nervously.

He can't hit.

-One more.
-Throw it low.

It doesn't matter. Hit it.

THE BATTERY EXCHANGES SIGNS

He exchanged signs with the catcher.

Yoon Jun-ho sits outside.

Yes.

It's a ground ball. But this hit…

Yes.

It's a ground ball.

But this hit goes to the center.

THRILLING!

Yes.

-Nice batting!
-He got it.

Third base runner reaches home plate.

Third base runner scores.

Kim Jun-sang's timely hit.

-Nice.
-The Dinos make a tie.

Nice.

ROARING LIKE DINOSAURS(?)

Nice.

When my team was winning,

I made the score a tie.

That was really tough.

THE MONSTERS' CRISIS

If Hee-kwan falls, we're doomed.

WE'RE DOOMED IF HEE-KWAN FALLS…

Do I need to substitute him or not?

Substitute him or not?

Substitute him or not?

It was very difficult to decide.

HE THOUGHT A LOT
ABOUT PITCHER SUBSTITUTION

I had a lot on my mind.

For a second, I thought,
"Should I have kept pitching?"

THE MONSTERS GOT QUIET IN THE DUGOUT

The Dinos' batters are really scary.

Two outs, a runner on first base.

2 OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

Batter three Kim Su-yun is at bat.

Two outs!

Okay. Two outs. End it!

-One!
-One!

-Hit it!
-Let's go!

There's one out left,
and the inning isn't over yet.

-Right!
-Okay.

HE HITS!

-In front!
-The first pitch goes up high.

-It's okay.
-Kim Su-yun's hit

-is caught by right fielder. Three outs.
-Let's go.

-Okay.
-Okay!

It's okay!

-Let's score extra points!
-It's okay.

-We can score.
-We need extra points anyway.

Let's score!

One ball was a miss.

CK Monsters let the Dinos catch up.

Jeez.

-He was too good.
-No.

-It went in high and nicely.
-Hang in there.

FEELING VERY SORRY

Runner.

CAN HE DEFEND THE REMAINING INNINGS?

PRAYING(?)

(HEADACHE)

Let's go. Start with batter one.

LET'S START WITH BATTER 1!

Let's go!

The score was tied in the last inning.

The Monsters will be at bat starting
with batter one in the fifth inning.

Choi Si-hyuk is on the mound.

He was picked by the Dinos
in the 2nd draft, round 3 in 2019.

He was picked quite early in the round.

This season,
his fastest pitch was 148km/h.

Fast pitch is his strength,

but the aim is shaky, so there's
a big gap between strikes and balls.

Good.

HIS PRACTICE PITCH IS 142 KM/H!

No, he isn't good. This is good for us.

What? Why does it look so fast?

It's perfect for us.

It's perfect for us.

Sung-jae.

Not the sides.
In the center no matter what.

I told him. Always in the center.

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

Let's start with batter one!

WHAT WILL FIREBALLER
CHOI SI-HYUK THROW FIRST?

-Ball.
-He watches the first pitch.

SPEED 145KM/H

Nice ball.

Throwing over 140km/h is cheating.

We hit Shim Jun-seok's pitches.

Nice ball! Good.

2 BALLS

-It falls nicely.
-It's good.

Chance.

It's okay! Si-hyuk, you're okay!

-All right!
-Three balls.

The ball shouldn't go high.

-Choi Si-hyuk's pitch looks good.
-Yes.

He must throw low balls.

Of course, you're nervous.

-Because we're the big boys.
-We're watching you!

You can just close your eyes!

It goes far!

THE MONSTERS GET ON BASE!

-A base on balls.
-Okay! Good!

It's okay, Si-hyuk!

The Monsters got a huge chance.

The atmosphere was down
because they let the Dinos catch up.

But batter one got on base.

No outs, a runner on first.

Batter two Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

It'll be a hit if he makes contact.

JUST MAKE CONTACT!

We need to score!

Let's go, Si-hyuk!

He better hit this.

-All right!
-Run!

It's a wild pitch!

-All right!
-Run!

It's far off the zone.
He advances to second.

Nice.

THE RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION!

Si-hyuk's pitch is a strong weapon,

but his precision is becoming shaky!

Without any pre-planned strategy,
the runner advanced to second base.

It was a situation
where an error like this shouldn't happen.

But things seem to be
looking good for the Monsters.

THINGS ARE LOOKING GREAT!

Nice.

It's our time to shine.

TIME TO TURN THE TABLES!

Let's go!

LET'S SCORE!

A runner on second with no outs.

I wonder what Manager Kong
has in mind right now.

-Nice!
-Yes!

The second pitch also is out of the zone.

-Don't swing for that.
-Nice ball!

Don't swing for that!

All right!

-Another ball far out of the zone.
-That's right.

He fails to pitch
all his fastballs into the zone.

Si-hyuk, it's all right. Chin up!

Don't lose, Moon-ho.

-Kim Moon-ho, getting ready.
-Come on!

Just close your eyes.

This might be his last pitch
against Moon-ho.

CHOI SI-HYUK HAS
AN UNFAVORABLE COUNT

Another ball far out of the zone.
It's a walk!

TWO BASES ON BALLS IN A ROW!

Two walks in a row!

NICE!

-See? I told you that you can't beat us.
-This is it!

What are you going to do now?

He can't seem to control his pitches
on the mound.

This is driving me crazy.

Runners on first and second with no outs.

We should let him pitch
for at least one inning.

When should he stop?

-Around 50 to 60 pitches.
-Okay. So Jin-woo…

The Dinos' pitchers are warming up
just in case.

It's hard to bunt his pitches, right?

I'll do whatever.

Then do you want to bunt?

That's risky though.

I know, right? This is a tricky one.

Let's just steal a base then.

STEAL A BASE!

Make it happen somehow.

You want me to steal?

-Then at first,
-Steal a base?

act like you're going to bunt.

Go for a slash bunt.

PLAN TO GO FOR A SLASH BUNT!

He's going to fake a bunt,
so tell the runner to steal a base.

He's a slow runner,
but should he go for it still?

Oh, I see.

-Well…
-So slash bunt?

Lee Taek-keun is going for a bunt.

Lee Taek-keun with a bunt

with runners of first and second
with no outs.

THE CATCHER SENDS THE FIELDERS SIGNS

The catcher informs
the fielders of the bunt.

WAITING FOR A BUNT

1ST AND 3RD SHIFT
THEIR DEFENSE FORWARD

I think he will bunt.

I'LL STEAL NO MATTER WHAT!

WILL ACTING MANAGER PARK'S PLAN
BE SUCCESSFUL?

Lee Taek-keun is pressuring the pitcher
with his bunt.

-Hey!
-He's running!

CATCHER THROWS IT TO 3RD!

-Damn it.
-What's happening?

That's right. There you go!

WE'RE SCREWED…

He's running!

The bunt misses.

-The runners are running.
-Oh! What was that?

The bunt misses.

The runners are running.

Oh! What was that?

NICE!

THEY CRY OUT IN EXCITEMENT!

What was that?

THAT WAS INSANE!

What just happened?

There you go!

DARN…

The umpire didn't call out!

That should've been an out.

Lee Taek-keun missed his bunt on purpose.

The runners began running
when the catcher threw the ball.

The throw was perfect,
so that should've been an out.

But the third baseman
lost his balance and fell down.

THAT WAS A GREAT PLAN!

Good, Jeong Keun-woo!

THAT WORKED?

-We'll beat you here!
-That should've been an out though.

May have become Wet Taek.

The runners were so late.

We had no choice. Good job.

A MIRACULOUS STEAL!

The runners on second and third
with no outs.

A hit could give the Monsters two runs.

This is where we'll beat them!

FLIP THE GAME WITH A HIT

Let's go!

LET'S GO!

A two-RBI hit!

Lee Taek-keun!

I was much more focused
than my usual at-bats.

We had runners,
and it was our chance to flip the game.

I desperately wanted to win.

I HAVE TO HIT IT

WILL MONSTERS BE ABLE TO
TURN THE GAME AROUND?

-It's a hit!
-He makes contact!

-It's a hit!
-He makes contact!

Lee Taek-keun's hit!

RUN!

Third base runner comes home.

-All right.
-Nice!

The score is three to two
in favor of the Monsters!

An RBI from Lee Taek-keun!

They are now in the lead.

What was that?

Yes!

Nice!

THEY ARE NOW BACK IN THE LEAD

So many things happened
in such a short time.

Acting Manager Park wanted Taek-keun
to fake his bunt,

so that Keun-woo can steal a base.

On top of that, the Monsters
got their lead back with Taek-keun's hit.

All right!

It's fine, Si-hyuk! You're doing great.

I'M (NOT) OKAY

The score is three to two.

The runners are on first and third
with no outs.

Lee Taek-keun with a hit to the right.

1ST BASERUNNER LEE TAEK-KEUN

Jeong Keun-woo came home from third.

Now, Lee Hong-ku, the fourth hitter,
has the chance to score.

No pressure. Just make contact.

Hong-ku, don't push yourself!

Hong-ku, don't go too aggressive!

What we need from Hong-ku is

a sacrifice fly for an easy run.

The pitcher lost his control.

A hit by pitch!

THE BALL HITS HIS ABDOMEN

His abdomen is fine.

It's a safe place to get hit.

Say "thank you" before you advance!

Express your gratitude and run!

A hit to his stomach.

Look how his tummy is bulging out.

CHOI SI-HYUK SENDS
ANOTHER RUNNER OUT

THE AIR IN THE DINOS' DUGOUT IS COLD

Bases are full with no outs.
Choi Si-hyuk lost control completely.

This is great. Let's keep scoring!

Let's switch pitchers now.

At last, the Dinos decide
to change their pitcher.

Choi Si-hyuk fails
to overcome this situation.

It's all right. You did a good job.

-It's fine. Chin up!
-Yes, sir.

Right. I mean it. You did good.

They hit your pitch, right?

But that's an experience
that'll help you grow.

That's how you can understand
what kind of pitcher you are.

-Yes, sir.
-Got it?

Good job.

HE CONSOLES HIM

It's fine. You got this.

HE'S WARM-HEARTED

In a dangerous moment,

Manager Kong decides to play
Kim Jin-woo as the pitcher.

He's a young player at the age of 21.

He's 176cm tall,
so he's not a tall player.

His maximum spin rate is at 2,500 RPM.

Right. That's impressive.

It's at 2,545.

-Did you just say 2,545?
-Yes.

I'll crush them.

Go crush them.

Go for the first pitch
against a new pitcher.

The new pitcher has good control

and throws pretty.

I'll make a pretty hit then.

Just don't hit an infield fly ball, okay?

-Got it?
-Okay.

The least you can do is
hit a 4-6-3 double play.

You get what I'm saying?

Yes. Even if it becomes a double play,

-you want me to hit one.
-Yes.

I'll go for the first pitch.

Go ahead.

BASES FULL

This is perfect.

What a perfect day for a home run.

Hit a good one and show us your ceremony!

Hit a home run to ensure our win!

WILL HE BE ABLE TO HIT
KIM JIN-WOO'S FIRST PITCH?

Show us a hit and your ceremony!

He hits the first pitch.

A GROUND BALL TOWARDS 3RD, NOT 1ST

Third baseman fields it.

That's the wrong way, man!

-Hey, darn it!
-Hey.

That's right.

Third baseman fields it.

The ball is too high!

Third baseman fields it.

HE MISTHROWS THE BALL

-Yes!
-Oh, yes!

There you go.

Nice!

HE CRIES OUT IN SURPRISE!

DUMBFOUNDED

The ball was too high.

Another run!

They finally breach
the impenetrable defense of the Dinos!

What an eventful match.

I never thought
the Dinos would crumble like this.

That was an ordinary ground ball,

-so I was expecting a double play.
-I know.

If third baseman threw the ball properly,

that would've been a 5-2-3 double play.

Luck is on the Monsters' side right now.

I didn't expect
a knight to save him there.

-He's the joker.
-He's the black knight.

Jun-sang, thank you!

This is it!

-Third baseman made two mistakes today.
-Thanks!

Stop smirking.

CHAN-HUI CHUCKLES

Eui-yoon, you laughing?

That wasn't funny, you know.

-Anyway, it's great.
-Eui-yoon!

What are you doing?

The bases are full with no outs again.

Hit a line drive!

Because the Monsters have
no outs currently,

all they need to do is force situations
where they can come home.

Next up is Seo Dong-wook.

We're on a roll now.

Let's continue this to seventh
and make it a called game.

Let's go. This will be your nightmare.

-This is it.
-It is.

Go for a big inning here.

At least score five runs here.

Jin-woo, you're doing good.

DINOS 2 : 4 MONSTERS

HE HITS!

A FLY BALL TO THE LEFT

It flies up to the left.

The left fielder catches it.

3RD BASE RUNNER TAGS UP!

Third base runner attempts a tag-up.

-Quickly, Hong-ku.
-Hurry!

Third base runner attempts a tag-up.

And he…

And he comes home.

-Nice.
-Nice.

DINOS 2 : 5 MONSTERS

THIS IS IT!

-Nice play.
-Good job.

THEY CHEER!

WE ARE CK MONSTERS!

The chance of the Monsters winning
is becoming greater.

Thanks to the Dinos' two errors,

they were able to score three runs.

The tables have turned for the Monsters.

A game against the pros.

It would've been hard for anybody
to expect that the Monsters could win.

But there's so much more hope now
for the Monsters to win.

The score is five to two.

Runners on first and second with an out.

Next up is Choi Soo-hyun.

Soo-hyun!

You can't go home if you miss.

Independent leaguer!

Swing it like you're playing there.

Try your best to the end!

-You need to hit it!
-Golden glove.

Hey, what was that?

Soo-hyun's hit is up high.

And…

he catches the ball.

Hey, we can win this!

WHAT A BUMMER

We could've gotten five runs.

-The inning isn't over yet.
-Crush them!

Jin-woo, you're doing great.

A fly ball infield
doesn't connect to a run.

One out left.

Next up is Yoon Jun-ho.

The Monsters need to score more runs.

Right.

You'll be facing
these guys at pros, Jun-ho.

Teach them a lesson.

A ground ball!

A GROUND BALL NEAR SHORTSTOP

Shorstop fields it and throws to second.

He's out on second. Three outs.

HE'S A BIT DISAPPOINTED

Come on!

-Still, this is good. It's five to two.
-It's enough.

All right.

The Monsters couldn't score more,
but they penetrated

The Dinos' defense.

-All right, time for defense.
-That was a good inning.

-You did well enough.
-Time for a defense.

DINOS 2 : 5 MONSTERS

You got this!

We need runs now!

-This is our time to score now.
-Okay.

Let's do this!

We can catch up!

The game is now in the sixth inning,
over the halfway mark.

Yoo Hee-kwan takes the mound once again

with his team leading three runs.

I'm sure Hee-kwan regrets
his previous inning.

-Right.
-But since he's in the lead now,

he should try his best
to pitch a shutout inning until the end.

Right.

-Winning pitcher! Get your fifth MVP star.
-We're on a roll here.

He's definitely on a roll.

Choi Bo-sung is at bat.

Let's go!

LET'S CATCH UP WITH THEM

All right.

The first pitch is a strike.

Good ball!

He's feisty because he allowed a run.

We need to make contact like them.

STRIKE

This is the second strike.

All right.

He's gritting his teeth and pitching.

DINOS 2 : 5 MONSTERS

Swings and misses, strikeout!

-Yes!
-Yes!

-Good ball.
-Nice ball.

Yoo Hee-kwan's first strikeout
finally happens in the sixth.

He's pitching with all his might today.

Jeez.

Yi In-hyok, batter five, is up next.

HE HITS!

It skips off the bat and flies up.

The left fielder catches it.

-All right!
-Yes!

-Nice!
-Let's go!

We said we'd take it slow.

-But we didn't.
-No.

-We were too slow.
-No, we took it too fast.

Way too fast.

YOU MUST TAKE IT SLOW
AND MAKE CONTACT

Oh Sung-taek is up next.

-It's a slow curve!
-He makes contact!

He makes contact! It's near the center.
Lee Taek-keun chases.

That's a hit!

Come forward a bit more.

Dive for it.

Lee Taek-keun chases.

It drops in front of him.

-Oh, no.
-Second base!

The hitter is going for second.

He runs back to first.

Oh Sung-taek successfully
hits the slow curve.

All right, Sung-taek!

-All right!
-Nice!

THIS IS OUR CUE TO CATCH UP

How did he hit that?

-Did he just hit that?
-Yes, he did.

A runner on first with two outs.

It's two outs, so let's focus.

Jun-kyo, you can advance too.

In the box is
the seventh hitter, Suh Jun-kyo.

He needs to pitch carefully.

Yoo Hee-kwan's forte is his control.

Perfect control is necessary.

An outside pitch.

He just groaned!

Isn't that velocity his fastest?

That was his average back
when he was a pro.

One more of that.

-Strike!
-All right!

Another strike. Two strikes now.

It's all right.

We don't want the game to be too easy.

Hee-kwan turned on his pro mode right now.

-Look at this velocity.
-Tell me about it.

He's a bit worked up
because he allowed a run.

His level of aggression is at max.

Swings and misses, strikeout!

HE EXCLAIMS IN JOY!

-Come on in!
-Yes!

This is what I'm talking about.

Another three-pitch strikeout.

Hee-kwan shuts out the six innings!

Man, you shouldn't swing
for the breaking ones.

Let's take this to the end!

-We still have three innings left.
-We need at least one chance.

Think of this as our last chance

-and try your best!
-Yes, sir.

The first hitter must advance!

Concentrate!

I like this bold pace from Yoo Hee-kwan.

But he needs to calm down a bit.

Let's defend and score this time!

-Defend well.
-Okay.

First up is Park Sung-jae.

An inside pitch. It goes up high.

All right, a fly ball.

Seok-hoon, stop that. Where are you going?

It goes up high.

SOO-HYUN POSITIONS HIMSELF

I got it.

(HE STEPS BACK)

I got it.

Shortstop, Seok-hoon, comes over
to second to catch the ball.

1 OUT

Seok-hoon called for the ball
near second from shortstop.

Seok-hoon is an ambitious player
who cares about screen time.

LIKE A CELEBRITY?

Why would you steal his thunder?

-I was being thoughtful there.
-What?

I thought you had trouble moving, so…

I saw you walking earlier,
and it seemed like you were in pain.

We need to score some runs this inning.

DARN IT

-Next up is Choi Seung-min.
-Cover the base.

The Dinos cannot afford
to lose today's game.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.

Soo-hyun fields the ball.

To first. Two outs.

I don't think
the ball is going to travel forward.

-Don't think too much into this, Han.
-Yes, sir.

It's the same ball.

-Even the velocity is only 130km/h.
-Okay.

Just think of this as your usual swings.

Lee Han, the leadoff hitter.

IT'S JUST THE SAME BALL…
IT'S AS USUAL…

HE HITS!

He hits the outside pitch.
Soo-hyun fields it.

An accurate throw to first.

Three outs.

3 OUTS

HOW RELIABLE, HEE-KWAN

That was so easy!

-Nice, so easy.
-All right!

This is the first 1-2-3 inning he pitched

since he took the mound.

He managed to make it happen
in the seventh.

-Acting Manager Park got his smile back.
-Right.

Everything he planned out
is becoming true today.

-Even the pitcher switch was good.
-Yes.

HE SMILES

If we don't score any runs in the eighth,

the ninth is our last offense.

What will you do then?

THE AIR IS SERIOUS

-We'll use the pinch hitters.
-Have them ready.

Make sure you include
Young-soo and Woo-jae along with others.

MANAGER KONG PLANS TO PLAY
HIS PINCH HITTERS

Tell all of them to get ready.

-Warm up properly, got it?
-Yes, sir.

WE MUST WIN THIS MATCH

-The pitcher changed!
-Let's do this!

-Take the mound. Be aggressive.
-Yes, sir.

This is now the bottom of the seventh.

The Dinos changed the pitcher once again.

Kim Jae-kyun takes the mound.

When he was a senior in high school,
he pitched two complete games

at Cheongnyonggi and had a shutout game
at Bonghwangdaegi's Distinguished Award.

Hong-ku, just one more run.

Make that two.

Because Hee-kwan defended
the inning so well,

Manager Kong will feel pressured

when the Monsters manage
to score one more run.

Right.

Let's go, Hong-ku!

Swings and misses.

STRIKE

His fastballs are darn good.

This reminds us of someone.

He's from Choongam High School.

-Remember Yoon Young-cheol?
-Right.

Our show doesn't like him.

And Kim Jae-kyun was the ace player
from Choongam before Young-cheol.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

That was a hit-by-pitch.

All right!

NICE JOB ADVANCING!

DARN…

Two dead balls today for you.

Thank you!

A runner on first with no outs.

Next up is the fifth hitter,
Jung Eui-yoon.

We need an additional run!

Jae-kyun, play hardball!

Focus here! Don't let them advance.

HE HITS!

It pops up very high!

It pops up very high!

-That's a goner.
-Fly away!

-Go!
-Go!

IS IT REALLY A HOME RUN?

Above you!

Is it gone?

Left fielder moves back!

Will this ball go over
the wall of NC Park?

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

The left fielder catches the ball
leaning against the wall.

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN

That was so close.

-Work out more.
-I can't believe that didn't go over.

WHAT A BUMMER

So close.

Nice.

Eui-yoon is out with a fly ball.

Nice!

NICE DEFENSE!

A runner on first with one out.

Seo Dong-wook is up next.

The Monsters know that
if they score another run,

they'll be turning the tides for sure.

Look how wide that area is.

HE HITS!

He pushes the ball out into the left.

All right, this one is it!

-This is definitely a hit.
-Right.

The left fielder chases it.

Will he catch it?

He catches it!

A SUPER CATCH, 2 OUTS

He catches it! Unbelievable!

-This one is it!
-He caught it?

Who the hell is he?

Oh Sung-taek, the left fielder
who sprinted for the catch,

catches Seo Dong-wook's hit for the out.

It hit the end of the bat with a spin
that was swaying it out of the field.

It was a tricky one to chase.

Although they're the opponent team,

that defense was praiseworthy.

I love the plays these players are making.

-Did he just catch that?
-That was really good.

-He's getting on my nerves.
-That's a hard one to catch.

He's definitely a pro player.

The Dinos don't want to let
the Monsters win without a fight.

-Nice!
-Good job!

ONE OUT LEFT UNTIL THE INNING ENDS

Next up is Choi Soo-hyun.

This might be his last time
facing pro players

in his life.

This at-bat is so precious to him.

He makes contact!

HE HITS!

There you go!

OH, NO!

He makes contact!

It goes between the first and second!

A SHARP HIT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND!

See? I told you
you can do well against them.

Choi Soo-hyun with a multi-hit.

Choi Soo-hyun swings for a hit.

A MULTI-HIT
AGAINST PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS

Nice!

GOOD JOB, SOO-HYUN

This is meaningful because he hit a ball

against left-handed pitchers.

I really would like to congratulate him.

Jun-ho, this might be
your last appearance.

-This may be your last!
-Let's go.

Focus. Make sure you stay focused.

Hyun-in gave us a hit before he went.

If you miss this, you can't join pro.

I'm going to call Manager Lee
and say that you lack practice.

This is my last appearance, gosh.

The young players

-of the Monsters.
-Yes.

Right before they left,
they all showed us great hits.

I'm sure Jun-ho is aware of that.

-Of course.
-We need a big hit.

SHOW US, JUN-HO

To say that his end is successful,

he must bring about good results
in today's game.

HE HITS!

He makes contact into the left!

He makes contact into the left!

-There you go!
-That's a hit!

A HIT!

Yes!

The left fielder!

-He gets it again.
-He catches the ball once again!

You punk!

OH SUNG-TAEK!

He's seriously getting on my nerves.

He caught all three balls.

Who does he think he is?

My gosh.

Goodness.

HE CRIES OUT IN DISAPPOINTMENT

Yoon Jun-ho desperately hoped
for a good hit.

THE LAST HIT HAS FAILED

However, the left fielder, Oh Sung-taek,
prevents that from happening.

-Nice!
-All right!

He's catching everything!

-He caught three today.
-Well done.

Good job, Sung-taek.

Three outs.

The Monsters couldn't score a run
on the seventh.

Good swing.

GREAT WORK, JUN-HO

-Nice job!
-It's okay.

Jun-ho!

-Jun-ho, we have two innings left.
-Good.

HE'S MORE DISAPPOINTED
BECAUSE IT WAS HIS LAST AT-BAT

-That was so close.
-That went so far.

-That would've been a hit.
-So close.

HE SIGHS…

That was my last, man.

It's fine.

Gosh.

HE SIGHS IN DISAPPOINTMENT…

Great defense.

(HE ACTS ALOOF)

But they're pro players.

I KNEW THEY'D BE GOOD…

This is the top of the eighth inning.

Hee-kwan managed to beat the Dinos
until the seventh.

But there are nine innings.

WILL HE BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE LEAD?

Just throw gently.

Let's catch up with them.

You have to hit that lousy pitch.

First up is Kim Jun-sang.

You can do it, Hee-kwan.

The first pitch is a ball.

All right, nice eye.

HE CALMLY HOLDS BACK HIS SWING

He's going to groan again.

Another outside pitch.

Darn it.

You can see that Hee-kwan used
a lot of his energy. He's losing control.

Hee-kwan pitched a lot today!

This can't be happening.

No walk, please.

Hey! This is bad.

Oh, no.

-Base on balls.
-This is not looking great.

Let's keep going!

Go!

Good eye.

This is the first time Hee-kwan
allowed a first hitter to advance.

A runner on first with no outs.

Next up is Kim Su-yun, the first baseman.

You have to hit it!

We need runners!

A clean double play is coming.

Hee-kwan rarely pitches a base on balls.

But he allows
the first hitter to advance with a walk.

It's a ground ball!

-This is it!
-Go!

It's a ground ball!

However, the ball goes into the 5-6 hole.

What's happening?

THE MOMENTUM IS STARTING TO SHIFT

Bo-sung, don't go for big swings.

You have to look at the ball
and swing your bat at the perfect time.

-No big swings early.
-Yes, sir.

Timeout.

ASKS FOR A TIMEOUT

I thought that was a double play.

Are you beginning to feel tired?

-I'll focus, sir.
-All right.

We need six more outs,

and we are three runs ahead.

Allow the runners to advance
and go for more outs.

Yes, sir.

With good infield defense,
this game will be over.

Dong-wook, make sure you help him.

Manager Park spoke with

the pitcher and all the infielders.

I guess this one crisis was inevitable.

-No more timeouts.
-Right.

A dangerous situation for Hee-kwan.

Runners on first and second with no outs.

Choi Bo-sung is in the box.

Bo-sung, don't mind the signs.

You have to make it happen.

What I'm truly afraid of is

Manager Kong playing all the pinch hitters
from yesterday.

That's what I'm afraid of. Truly.

Please Hee-kwan. Defend them.

HEE-KWAN MUST DEFEND

We can win if we concentrate.

He must pitch as carefully as possible
while defending.

(HE GULPS)

FULL SWING, HE HITS IT!

The first pitch skips off the bat
into the right.

Kim Moon-ho, right fielder.

It's a foul, but he missed the catch.

THAT WAS CLOSE

We saw how passionate Moon-ho was.

Although there was a fence,

Moon-ho chased the ball to the end.

That's how desperate the Monsters are.

THE MONSTERS ARE DESPERATE FOR A WIN

Focus when the opportunity comes.

DINOS 2 : 5 MONSTERS

We can see their willpower
to beat a professional team.

An outside pitch. Strike.

-Nice.
-Good job.

A FAVORABLE COUNT FOR THE PITCHER

Come on!

MANAGER KONG SENDS SIGNALS
OF HIS PLAN

THEY NOD

The Monsters are against a pro team.

WHAT WILL BE THEIR PLAN?

HE GLANCES

A favorable count for Hee-kwan.

The battery goes for an inside pitch
for the first time.

HE NODS IN AGREEMENT

The pitch is high! He misses. Strikeout!

JUN-HO THROWS THE BALL TO 3RD?

DINOS GOES FOR A DOUBLE STEAL

He misses. Strikeout! And he tags him!

The runner is tagged out!

HEE-KWAN ROARS IN JOY

MONSTERS ARE HAPPY ALONG WITH HIM

Nice!

ACTING MANAGER PARK IS FINALLY AT EASE

DARN…

A bold play with an inside pitch!
Near the torso.

This is who Yoon Jun-ho is!

He couldn't show this in the batter's box!

This is who Yoon Jun-ho is as a catcher!

That was Yoon Jun-ho
on his last day as our catcher.

-That was nice.
-The first pitch?

Yes, I was shocked.
It came near the torso.

We turned a tough corner.

A double play.

Two outs, a runner on the second.

Batter five, Yi In-hyok.

Don't get tense. Just stay focused.

Just give another groan.

-Strike.
-A strike on the edge.

-Nice pitch.
-Nice pitch.

GREAT JOB

Yoo Hee-kwan just needs to groan.

After he got two outs,
he gained more energy.

HEE-KWAN'S PITCHES
ARE MORE POWERFUL

He managed to get two outs
through the crisis.

Yoo Hee-kwan stands on the mound
without losing a point.

HE HITS!

It flies up high and bends.

The center fielder runs!

THE RUNNER ON 2ND RUNS BACK HOME

-Yes!
-It's easy.

And bends.

The center fielder runs!

But he couldn't catch it.

TAEK-KEUN COULDN'T CATCH THE BALL

NO!

What's going on right now?

The runner returns home.

-Let's do this!
-Okay!

Okay!

The trusted Lee Taek-keun
couldn't catch this ball,

and lost a point.

TAEK-KEUN'S GRAVE MISTAKE

-We'll get stopped.
-That's huge. One point is a big deal.

Let's stop them here!

Okay, let's stop them here!

And now, five to three,
a runner is on the second.

The batter is Oh Sung-taek.

THE CRAZY DEFENDER

Goodness.

-It's a close fight.
-He's a good defender.

We're still leading by two,

but the runner is in scoring position.

Stop them here!

I CAN'T LOSE MORE POINTS

Okay, nice pitch.

-He's pitching at full power now.
-Yes.

Yoo Hee-kwan sometimes does that.

He goes full power
when he sometimes loses it.

That's probably around 128km/h.

He clenched his teeth too.

I know him very well.
He does that sometimes.

Okay, Sung-taek. Good one. Good swing.

There is a high possibility
that a good defender shows

a good hit soon after.

-It goes to the left. Strike.
-Strike.

Good!

Here's why Yoon Jun-ho
and Yoo Hee-kwan are excellent players.

Oh Sung-taek makes big swings,
so he throws toward his torso.

Oh Sung-taek, the left fielder
who caught Seo Dong-wook

and Yoon Jun-ho's hits.

Yoo Hee-kwan needs a strike.

Yoo Hee-kwan needs
a perfect pitch right now.

JUN-HO SITS NEAR HIS TORSO AGAIN

A strikeout. Let's go!

Near his torso, strikeout looking!

Strike!

ROARING!

Three pitches, strikeout.

Yoo Hee-kwan closes the inning himself.

HE SAVED US!

ACTING MANAGER TAEK
RUNS TO GREET HEE-KWAN

-Good work.
-Good job.

-Great job.
-Good one!

Nice pitching.

DISAPPOINTED

Strikeout.

-His fastball won't drop.
-No, he's different.

It's slow, but it keeps coming.

Keep it up to the end!

WE GOT THE 9TH INNING LEFT!

Gosh, great job, Hee-kwan.

Don't be shaken.

It'll be a big deal
if we win against the Dinos.

-Nice job.
-Nice, Hee-kwan!

(READS HIS FACE)

-Should we call it over?
-As you wish.

I'm fine, though. What should I do?

They're pushing quite a lot,

so I think we can let
Ju-won block one inning.

-Okay.
-Yes.

-As you wish.
-Great job.

Where's Hee-kwan?

Hee-kwan, I'm sorry.

PANTING

The bottom of the eighth.

The pitcher for the Dinos is Seo Eui-tae.

He played for Wiz, Heroes,

and he's now with the Dinos.

He's been a professional player
for quite a while.

Who is that guy?

Let's score just one more point,
and it'll be easy for us.

The first batter is Chi Seok-hoon.

Breaking ball.

Let's stop them and win!

He's hit by the pitch.

Your thigh is fine.

-Chi Seok-hoon gets hit and goes out.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Because we lost a point
in the previous inning,

we must take that back.

Batter one, Jeong Keun-woo.

KEUN-WOO IS NEXT UP

Get out there.

No outs, Chi Seok-hoon is on the first.

SEIZE THE CHANCE

All right, let's focus!

IT FLIES UP!

The ball flies up high.

It doesn't fly out too far.

The left fielder runs down and catches.

Good.

GOOD

Let's score just one more point.

Moon-ho, make a reassuring hit.

Next up is batter two, Kim Moon-ho.

A REASSURING HIT?

Jun-sang, watch out for a bunt.

The bottom of the eighth.

Two points of difference.

He hits a bunt and runs.

MOON-HO HITS AN UNEXPECTED BUNT

He hits a bunt and runs.

The third baseman to the first.

Safe on first base! The sign is made!

-Yes!
-Hey!

-That's a great bunt.
-Good one.

I told Jun-sang to be prepared
because he does bunts often.

But he was somewhere else again.

Kim Moon-ho's sudden bunt was a success.

This is it.

That was an awesome bunt.

It's now one out,
runners on the first and second.

The Monsters need another point.

Batter three, Lee Taek-keun is next.

Eui-tae.

Don't mind the runner.
Fight with the batter!

It's the timing.

We have runners out there.

-Near the torso, strike.
-Strike.

THAT'S IT!

Good grief.

Something flashed by.

We lost one, so let's take one.

First pitch, strike.

He's hit.

ANOTHER HIT-BY-PITCH

-It's a hit-by-pitch.
-Good grief, that was close.

GOODNESS…

It's okay. Your thigh's fine.

Hong-ku, it'll be all over
if we take just one more point.

-Yes.
-Okay.

A hit-by-pitch, one out, all bases loaded.

Lee Hong-ku is next at bat.

The Monsters have all bases loaded.

-Hong-ku is here.
-Hong-ku.

I know it's tough, but we're almost there.

We're almost done.
I hope we pull it together.

If we don't score more,

I really thought
they might catch up again.

When you catch it, go this way.

Don't throw it back home.

Lee Hong-ku must show what he has now.

The Monsters are getting chased.

Their chance can't get better than this.

Just one.

All bases loaded.
Lee Hong-ku hits the first pitch.

Darn it.

All bases loaded.
Lee Hong-ku hits the first pitch.

The third baseman to the second.

Then to first base.

Lee Hong-ku's hit
turns into a double play.

THIS IS BAD NEWS…

BASEBALL PROBLEMS:
A CRISIS ALWAYS COMES AFTER A CHANCE

Let's focus on defense, Eui-yoon.

-Okay!
-Okay!

Nice! Okay.

Good play.

Let's go!

-Okay!
-Okay!

THE DOUBLE PLAY
TAKES THE LEAD FROM THE MONSTERS

Man, what was that?

The game goes into the ninth inning
with two points of difference.

DINOS 3 : 5 MONSTERS

One chance is enough to make two points.

-Where's Jun-kyo?
-Yes.

-Do you feel confident?
-I do.

You do? Then go out and play.

-Sung-jae.
-Me too.

No, you don't look confident enough.

I am.

Then hit it. Let's go.

TOP OF THE 9TH INNING
DINOS 3 : 5 MONSTERS

Acting Manager Park Yong-taek

switched Yoo Hee-kwan out.

He chose Oh Ju-won.

You haven't saved like this in a while.

It can be a disaster.

Yes, it can be. Whatever, okay?

I just trust you enough to do this.

We're winning by five to three,

but he boldly switched Yoo Hee-kwan out.

-Yes.
-His choice was Oh Ju-won.

And yesterday's starting pitcher,

Rhee Dae-eun, is warming up too.

Acting Manager Park Yong-taek is
also improving

as the leader of the team.

-Ju-won, I trust you.
-Yes.

Do you have the data on Ju-won's pitches?

Don't hit it as you like.
You must stay focused.

We need to let the runners go out.

You got this, Jun-kyo.

The first batter, Suh Jun-kyo.

Let's go, Jun-kyo.

Ju-won won't fall down, right?

He's the romantic pitcher.

We lost the game yesterday,

so I wanted to win today.

I'll stop them, period.

So I wanted to throw my pitches.

Mind the first pitch.

A strike near the torso.

-That's it, Ju-won!
-Yes!

-That was 135km/h.
-That was 135km/h.

I love the romance.

Make it out on the field.

There are two points of difference

and three outs left in today's game.

DINOS 3 : 5 MONSTERS

Near the torso again.

HE HITS!

He pulls it in. The third baseman catches.

He throws to the first.

-That's it!
-Tagged out.

THIS IS WHAT I CALL ROMANCE!

-Okay!
-Yes!

That was a fly.

He pitches so hard.

What's wrong?

You all seem nervous.

-Are you nervous?
-No, everyone else is.

(HE'S THE MOST NERVOUS ONE HERE)

Until the moment the Monsters
take victory from the Dinos,

-there are two outs left.
-Yes.

What we felt
through our loss yesterday was

that we could lose at times,
but we were also sure

we could win today's game.

You're right.

One out. Park Sung-jae is next at bat.

First pitch, strike.

-Nice!
-Good one.

We just put in all of our arms.

-Yes.
-We're in good condition.

He's determined.

We're putting our souls into this.

If I may wish for something,
I wish he would throw a ball.

That's all I want. Just one ball.

Oh Ju-won, an aggressive pitcher.

-Near the torso again.
-Another strike.

ROMANCE ITSELF!

Live through this.

Park Sung-jae, who hit a double today.

What's his next pitch?

DINOS 3 : 5 MONSTERS

It's a grounder.

The shortstop, Chi Seok-hoon,
to the first.

Out on the first.

Two outs.

-Okay!
-Okay!

-Come on!
-Hey!

WELL…

Only one out to go
against a professional team.

A pinch hitter.

Next at bat is

-Cheon Jae-hwan.
-Cheon Jae-hwan!

-Cheon Jae-hwan is next at bat.
-Yes.

An unbelievable batter.

Manager Kong Pil-sung uses a batter
who hit all four at-bats

as his pinch hitter at this time.

Come on, Manager Kong.

Let's do this.

Keep it up to the end!

Keep it going!

He's about to wrap up,

so he must pitch very cautiously.

WHO'LL WIN THIS BATTLE?

THIS IS ROMANCE! STRIKE

Oh Ju-won is a pitcher
for the ninth inning,

so I hope he wins this battle.

Just one.

Just one more.

SMILES (?)

Cheon Jae-hwan is at bat.

HE HITS!

THE BALL FLIES TO THE LEFT FIELDER

Hey.

Is that a home run? Did it go over?

He pushes it out. It flies to the left.

It hits the fence and falls.

Darn it.

Cheon Jae-hwan makes it
to the second base. He stops.

Five hits, five at-bats over two days.

RECORDING 5 HITS, 5 AT-BATS

LET'S WIN FROM BEHIND

Manager Kong Pil-sung shows
his ambition for victory

in the ninth inning.

This is what's annoying about baseball.

Yes, you think it'll be over,
but something happens.

What's wrong?

ANXIOUS

Man.

Ninth inning, two outs.

The runner is in scoring position.

A pinch hitter, Oh Tae-yang.

IT'S ANOTHER PINCH HITTER

The guys from yesterday are
all swarming out.

Oh Tae-yang?

If he gets out,
who knows what will happen?

Oh Young-soo is next.

NEXT, OH YOUNG-SOO,
WHO GOT 2 POINTS WITH A TRIPLE

I'm sure CK Monsters is very nervous.

HE MUST STOP HIM HERE

This is why that point was a big deal.

Please.

PLEASE, WIN FROM BEHIND

We'll surely win.

There's one out left,
but only two points ahead.

One hit means it's a tie.

On the edge, strike.

Ju-won, please. Throw just one ball.

Just one ball. That's all we need.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo's earnest wish.

WHAT WILL JU-WON DO
IN THIS CROSSROADS?

We'll surely win.

Victory is right before their eyes,
but it's not easy for the Monsters.

Outside of the zone.
The umpire's hand doesn't go up.

-It was a ball.
-Thank you.

And now it's your turn to fight.
You can do that now.

The batter's eyes are
on the ball at the edge

and on the pitch that turned into a ball.

Near the torso.
The ball flies into the foul zone.

-Yes!
-Okay!

-Let's go!
-We got this.

The ball flies into the foul zone.

The first baseman couldn't catch it.

SCREAMING!

He would've caught it away from the net.

Who put the net there?

I could've caught that.

BAD NET

We survived that!

Tae-yang, you need to make it happen!

One and two.
The count is favorable for the pitcher.

Don't lose, Tae-yang!

Tae-yang, save us.

-Tae-yang, do it!
-Tae-yang!

Think of him as the last batter.

One ball, two strikes. Oh Tae-yang.

THE TWO DESPERATE HEARTS

CLASH INTO ANOTHER AT THIS TIME

Swings and misses, strikeout!

OH JU-WON BRINGS VICTORY

Nice!

Swings and misses, strikeout!

Nobody believed it could be done,
but we won against a professional team!

CK Monsters turns this game

into victory!

WE WIN!

-Nice!
-Yes!

-Yes!
-Okay!

-Hey!
-We got this!

-Great job.
-Good game.

It seemed impossible.

Nobody expected us to win

two months ago!

But CK Monsters turn the impossible

into victory!

THEY TOOK VICTORY
THANKS TO THEIR SINCERITY

Nice game!

WE WERE PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TOO

-Nice game!
-Nice game!

-Nice game!
-Nice game!

-Great job.
-Good game today.

That was great. I'm happy.

I'm grateful and thankful

for every single player today.

-Good game.
-Each person did their best.

A PRECIOUS VICTORY

I believe even luck took
the side of the Monsters.

I saw the desperation to win

in every player of CK Monsters.

To other baseball players and fans,

I'm sure they touched them
and helped them learn something.

It was a wonderful match.

-Dinos!
-Monsters!

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

CK MONSTERS VS DINOS

Today's MVP is Team CK Monsters.

Yes, we all deserve a star.

The long away games are over.

I'm tired now.

COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED

-Goodness.
-I'm so tired.

THEY DON'T NEED TO SPEAK TO FEEL
THE LINGERING VICTORY

Manager Jang, did you cry?

Gosh, don't do that. You're making me sad.

ONE MAN IS AS SILENT AS THE PLAYERS

Thank you.

THANK YOU

(ALSO CHOKING UP)

That game took a toll on everyone.

We had too many injured players,

so I kept choking up
as I watched the game.

As every inning passed,
I kept asking myself,

"We're going to win this game?"

It felt like the production crew
also played with you on the field.

Everyone said this game was impossible.

In a game against a professional team,

CK Monsters, you have won!

THE 2ND MATCH AGAINST DINOS
CK MONSTERS WIN

TOUCHED TO THE MAX

Today's game was
worth our general manager's tears.

Their pitches were almost as speedy
as the season before their retirement.

The batters, the fielders running around,

and looking at the pitch
in the batter's box.

I believe today's game
was 150% a professional game.

First off, I'm glad we won.

My final mound was right here, the Dinos.

Those memories came back to me.

That's why I wanted to throw…

That's why I wanted to throw well today.

I'm glad we won.

I think the production crew
and we became one to win.

I believe today is the victory
of Team CK Monsters.

TODAY'S VICTORY IS
FOR TEAM CK MONSTERS

I'm 43 this year,

and I got slapped by a 20-year-old.

I'm very glad that we won,

but I also feel sad at the same time.

So can you make me the MVP?

BEGGING

HOW DESPERATE IS HE?

Just this once.

-I'll be sadder if I don't get it.
-You reek of your slyness.

-The first MVP begged for.
-Begged MVP.

Let me announce the MVP.

No candidates?

No candidates.

JUST THE ANNOUNCEMENT

The begged MVP?

SMILES

I would love to give this
to every member of the Monsters.

Then do it.

-Then do it.
-Yes.

-Give it to us.
-Give it up.

ME TOO

-I really want to give it to you all,
-Do it.

but it's just for one person.

He's given his all for the team.

Yoo Hee-kwan!

TODAY'S MVP, YOO HEE-KWAN

A BIT FLUSTERED (?)

-Are you crying?
-Why?

BITTER
SO IT'S NOT ME, AGAIN…

Yes, he deserves it today.

Yoo Hee-kwan has four stars!

THE ONLY 4-STAR OF THE MONSTERS

-Manager Park.
-Yes.

STILL GETTING USED TO HIS ROLE
AS AN ACTING MANAGER…

Take my star. You can keep mine too.

Congratulations.

-You were great today.
-Thank you.

And stop crying.

(CHOKING UP)

Taek-keun, don't cry.

First off, I don't think
I played too well today,

so I didn't expect to win.

But we became one

and took the victory, so that feels nice.

It was 99% impossible,
but I took faith in the 1%.

Our team came together
and made that 1% miracle happen.

I'll continue to do my best. Thank you.

NOTHING WAS IMPOSSIBLE
FOR THE MONSTERS

-You were cool.
-That's so cool.

I want to be cool too.

I'm feeling great.

One more MVP.

ANNOUNCING THE SECOND MVP

ALREADY TOUCHED (?)

-Just give it to him.
-He's crying.

Let him have it.

Why am I making this face?

It may not be you.

-No?
-Of course not.

He's already happy.

Just let me have one.

He wants it.

LAUGHING

Without this person,

CK Monsters couldn't have come this far.

He was never an MVP,

but he played like one
in every single game.

Lee Taek-keun!

TOUCHED
HE FINALLY BECOMES THE MVP

Lee Taek-keun!

SUNNY AND GEOMY (?) ARE HAPPY

Finally!

CONGRATULATIONS

HE WAS SO HAPPY
THAT HE CAME IN A FORWARD ROLL

I finally got it!

TRUE HAPPINESS

He deserves one.

TOTALLY APPROVED

You only have one star?

-It's my first time.
-One star.

-Goodness.
-This is great.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

Good work.

How do we do this?

I'VE NEVER BEEN AN MVP BEFORE…

It's my first time.

Take your time to say what you want.

Is today a crying day?

-Is it?
-Did he win the Golden Glove Award?

DID HE WIN THE GOLDEN GLOVE AWARD?

I really didn't want to cry.

ALL KINDS OF THOUGHTS
GO THROUGH HIS HEAD

I couldn't…

I couldn't say goodbye to my fans.

It always bothered me in my heart.

But I got to put on another uniform
through A Clean Sweep,

and you gave me a chance
to meet my fans once again.

I'd like to thank
the production crew once again.

My son finally knows
that I'm a baseball player.

HIS FIRST, MEANINGFUL WIN
AS AN MVP

Thank you very much.

THANK YOU

Congratulations!

Gosh, this is great.

GOSH, THIS IS GREAT

Great work.

There is one more person

who's leaving CK Monsters
after today's game.

It's Yoon Jun-ho.

We spent almost 10 months together,

and this was our last game.

So the production crew prepared a gift.

Please look behind.

-Gosh.
-That's cool.

It's his last time.

IT'S FINALLY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

The gift will be handed to him

by the leader of the pitchers,
Song Seung-jun.

Please come on out.

You two are alumni.

THE LAST PRESENT
FROM HIS DIRECT SENIOR

We wouldn't be here without Jun-ho.

-No.
-You're right.

Instead of good wishes, I'm quite worried.

You'll face many tough days first

instead of happy days.

If you do not win,
you'll end up falling behind.

Do not be conceited.

I hope you always stay positive
and win through everything.

Here.

A PRESENT FROM EVERYONE

KEEP IT UP, JUN-HO

Jun-ho, a word, please.

Well.

Time truly flies.

Many different things
happened to me this year.

Among them, A Clean Sweep gave me

the most things in my life.

As I spent time with my seniors,

I went through the process

of realizing that we're a team.

I was happy at every moment.

I believe this is just the beginning.

So I'll take the advice from my seniors

and remember everything
that happened with us

deep inside my heart.

I'll strive to be a good player
like my seniors.

I'll brace myself and march on.

HE WAS AMAZED AND EXCITED
TO MEET HIS SENIORS FOR THE FIRST TIME

I'm a senior at Dong-eui University.

I'm Yoon Jun-ho, a catcher.

A catcher.

FROM THE FIRST GAME
HE PLAYED AS THE MONSTERS

It drops clean on the left center.

HE DID HIS BEST

IN EVERY SINGLE MOMENT

It's a slow grounder.

JUN-HO BECAME THE MOST
REASSURING SUPPORT OF THE TEAM

He swings and misses, strikeout.

And he's tagged out!

HE'S NOW LEAVING
FOR A BIGGER FIELD

Thank you.

A CLEAN SWEEP ROOTS FOR YOUR FUTURE

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

BYE, JUN-HO

It feels empty to see him go.

Are you happy? Or what?

THE BIGGEST BENEFICIARY (?)

What?

Well, he's leaving, so he'll go.

IT'S HIS CHANCE TO RECLAIM
HIS SPOT AS THE MAIN CATCHER

FORCING A SMILE

Chan-hui and I will have to work hard

to fill in the gap Jun-ho leaves behind.

Now, we have six games left.

Currently, you won 18 times
and lost 6 times.

-It's so cruel.
-Your win percentage is 0,750.

If you win all six remaining games,

you'll go on
an off-season training to Okinawa.

Now, it's a rough way to rise to the best.

Let's cheer together and wrap up.

GREAT JOB TODAY, EVERYONE

-Good job.
-Yes, great job.

-Shouldn't we throw Jun-ho up in the air?
-He's too heavy.

I'm very glad to end my time

on this team with a victory.

I hope you all play well to the end
and go to Okinawa.

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

Goodbye, Jun-ho!

-Bye-bye.
-You got this!

A CLEAN SWEEP ROOTS FOR YOON JUN-HO

24 GAMES 18 WINS 6 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE .750

WHAT? HE'S COMING!

CONFUSED

-Why is he so big?
-Who is it?

-He's big.
-Is that who I think it is?

WE MUST KEEP
THE WIN PERCENTAGE OF 0,700

Who is that?

IS THAT LEE DAE-HO?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

REALLY?

ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME

CLEANUP HITTER OF JOSEON
LEE DAE-HO

TROUBLED

TAKE A REST
GREAT JOB THUS FAR

HAPPY
GIVE ME THE SHEET AGAIN

HOWEVER

WE TAKE DAE-HO AND ONE MORE

THEY WON'T FEEL SPECIAL
AFTER LEE DAE-HO

YOU SHOULD'VE LET OUT
THE INSIGNIFICANT ONE FIRST

HE MUST BE BUTT-UGLY

Someone's here.

HE LOOKS QUITE FAMILIAR…

HE'S COMING TO A CLEAN SWEEP

WHO IS IT?

That gait looks familiar!

-Who is it?
-Really?

What?

Oh, my gosh.

THE GOD OF BASEBALL

No way.

It's not fun and games anymore.

HELLO
I'M THE 2ND MANAGER, KIM SUNG-KEUN
