Sit here.

(AM I REALLY SITTING HERE?)

Three to zero?

-Sit.
-Yes. It was three to zero.

I SHOULD'VE ARRIVED LATER…

-They're already sitting there.
-Yes.

Dae-ho, come here.

-Come on, sit over here.
-I mean…

-Come.
-Seong-hoon and Yong-taek are coming.

They should sit there.

YONG-TAEK AND SEONG-HOON

THE HESITANT MAJOR LEAGUER

Yong-taek and Seong-hoon can sit there.

HE'S WATCHING EVERYTHING

You sit here.

Sun-woo, he's telling you to sit here.

Sun-woo, come here.

Yong-taek… Sun-woo, come here.

SUNG-KEUN'S TABLE IS FULL

-Sir, do you want a beer?
-What?

Do you want a beer, sir?

You're here.

You guys aren't drinking.

-Are you going to drink?
-We…

TAKEN ABACK

He should come here.

Keun-woo, will the players drink tonight?

-Pardon?
-Will we drink?

-He'll give it to us.
-I see.

I'm asking if you'll drink.
Why are you dragging me into this?

-See?
-Yes, we'll drink.

Then order it.

Order something different.

I'd like to welcome Manager Kim.

After 50 years of work,
he was going to take a break

and spend time with his cats at home.

After Producer Jang's
persistent persuasion, he joined us.

We'll do our best to win
the rest of the games.

For complete victory!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Cheers.

-Good work.
-Thank you, Manager Kim.

I have hits when I play after drinking.

-Throughout your school years?
-Yes, it's interesting.

USING UP THE PRODUCTION COST

He was really good at playing baseball.

MUNCH

Isn't it good?

EATING AND DRINKING

THE MONSTERS ARE ENJOYING DINNER

Yong-taek, as our captain,
please tell the manager.

-Tell him what?
-It's a TV show.

Tell him that every fielder has to play.

Every fielder.

Please make substitutions.

Today was so tiring.

Because it was the first day.

-In the seventh inning,
-Yes.

I called you in, but you didn't see.

Really?

IT WAS HIS FAULT

Kim Moon-ho
and Lee Hong-ku didn't play today.

NODDING

-Moon-ho.
-Yes?

-Make your case to the manager.
-Yes, my name is Kim Moon-ho.

NOW THE SON OF KIM SUNG-KEUN

SUCCESSFULLY MADE HIS CASE

Hey.

Hong-ku.

You're number 27.
He doesn't know your name.

He said Moon-ho was fast.

But he doesn't know your name.

-Hong-ku.
-No name for number 27.

You were supposed to bunt when it was
no out, runners on 1st and 2nd.

-Seong-hoon didn't see the sign.
-You should focus.

No, he didn't give me a sign.

It was a bunt. Seong-hoon missed it.

POINTING!

He missed it.

It was a bunt sign.

HERE IS THE PLAN

SEONG-HOON, BUNT!

HE'S BUSY

HE MISSED THE SIGN

-Really?
-Yes.

-I looked really hard.
-The manager

-didn't touch his nose.
-You didn't look.

-I touched here.
-He did.

Sir, your hand…

His hand…

He touched his nose hair.

WORLD'S FIRST NOSE HAIR SIGN

Nose hair.

SPEECHLESS

I didn't think this would be a sign.

I could tell you weren't sure.

LAUGHING

-I see.
-Watch for nose hair signs.

I didn't think of that.

I'll watch closely tomorrow, sir.

Jeez. This is amazing.

THEY ENJOY THE HAPPY DINNER
LOSING TRACK OF TIME

-Really?
-Tomorrow…

Didn't we always lose after a team dinner?

Yes.

I have a bad feeling.

SUDDENLY THEY'RE REMINDED OF THE JINX

Sir, have a good night.

-Okay. See you tomorrow.
-Yes, sir.

Okay.

-He's leaving.
-Good night, sir.

Good night.

-See you tomorrow.
-Good night, sir.

-Good night, sir.
-Good night, sir.

See you all tomorrow.

Good night, sir.

PATTING

So detailed.

He's so charismatic.

THEY'RE HAVING MORE FUN

I'm serious.

HAPPY

Drink up.

HAPPY TO THE MAX

THEIR HAPPIER DINNER COMES TO AN END
15 HOURS BEFORE THE MATCH

-All right.
-Hey.

-Hello.
-Gosh.

I feel so terrific.

Soo-chang, did you sleep well?

Yes, I feel great.

Soo-chang, you look good today.

-Let's see.
-Yesterday,

when the manager
told the pitchers to warm up,

he got nervous
and started to warm up like this.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hi, Ju-won.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Let's have another called game.

-Let's win quickly and go home.
-We can do it.

Who are we playing next week? Is it Hanil?

WHO ARE WE PLAYING NEXT WEEK?

They have all the tall players.

Yes.

We can just play if it's Hanil.

HIGH-SPIRITED

We should do it every Thursday.

Dong-wook is still drunk.

THINKING…

I think I know why we lose
after a team dinner.

We'll win today.

We can't win if our mood
and environment are like this.

NODDING

We should hurry and make it a called game.

Oh Ju-won. Seven innings.

You want me to give you a called game?

I'm serious.

-I'll look forward to it.
-He might finish quickly.

WILL THEY BREAK THE JINX?

STARING

Yong-taek, you got two.

Of course.

I do it when I need to.

BRAGGING IN FRONT OF A NEWBIE

-You got two even though your BA is .200.
-Sure.

When I think I'm needed…

So you can get one
if you play for a long time.

No, I mean…

-The newbie's being rude to everyone.
-Great job.

Soo-chang, this is what I thought
when I saw you on the show.

"Jeez, it's so easy to make money."

Are you kidding me?

Hey, I have vocal fold nodules.

If I can make money like you,
I'll be on the show forever.

I have vocal fold nodules.

Moon-ho, don't laugh.
You didn't do anything yesterday.

I didn't laugh.

-You played for only one day.
-He always drags others.

He never goes down alone.

-Hong-ku, did you play yesterday?
-No.

-Were you here though?
-Yes.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

-Hello.
-Hi.

SUDDENLY NERVOUS

WALKING ON EGGSHELLS

You all look fine.

You seem okay.

-I'm feeling great, sir.
-Okay.

EVERYONE SITS DOWN

What were you talking about?

We were talking about today's game.

We just need one more run
than the other team.

Today we need one more run
than the other team.

-Yes sir.
-Yes, sir.

I'll make the lineup
after I see you practice.

The lineup is after the practice.

We'll see if Lee Dae-ho will go or not.

Okay!

Okay. Done.

THE MEETING IS DONE?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

IS IT REALLY

OVER?

HE LEAVES NONCHALANTLY…

That was simple!

THEY'RE HAPPY
ABOUT THE SHORTEST OPENING EVER

HE HUMS AS HE WRITES THE LINEUP
WITHOUT HESITATION

-Hello, sir.

HE CALLED THE LINEUP OWL

I thought a lot about batter five.

HE'S THE 5TH BATTER

-I'll live up to your expectations.
-Okay.

You'll hit today.

Yes, sir.

Yes. I knew it.

Hong-ku and Moon-ho
had extra batting training.

Yes, we did.

Hong-ku and Moon-ho
can be busy standing by.

AGAIN, THEY CAN'T PLAY TODAY…

Moon-ho and Hong-ku,
you have to play hard.

You aren't up to his standard yet.

-We have to drink this before we play.
-What is that?

-Good.
-Shall I drink one too?

IT'S YUMMY!

-It's good.
-It's tasty.

There are different flavors.

You can choose the flavor you want.

Captain Park.

Captain Park.

Let's give him one.

It's a vitamin drink.

You can drink this every day.

-Really?
-Yes.

Is it good for a hangover?

You can have two hits if you drink this.

Two hits? That won't happen.

Three hits.

We drank this,

so let's win again.

-Two called games in a row.
-Good.

-Two called games.
-Let's do it.

The Monsters had a big win
with the new manager.

They're after another win.

Hello, everyone.

Today's game is the Monsters
versus Wonkwang University.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with me.

-Hello.
-Hello.

The last game was the first round
with Wonkwang University.

The Monsters and Manager Kim Sung-keun

-played almost a perfect game.
-Yes.

If we win today,
it'll be three consecutive wins.

And if we win one more game,

the Monsters will keep
their .700 winning percentage.

After yesterday's game,

the players want
to win the remaining games

to go to Okinawa.

Right.

You want to go too, right?

-I really want to go.
-Yes.

-That's a good sentiment to have.
-Yes.

BUT THEIR OPPONENT IS
WONKWANG UNIVERSITY

We'll have a called game

again today.

We'll play to win today no matter what.

IT'S A GAME OF PRIDE
WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH?

The manager is tired today.

So we'll end the game
after the seventh inning.

Will that be okay, sir?

Yes. We have to win.

-Don't lose.
-Okay, sir.

We'll win ten to nothing.

Don't lose.

-Don't lose.
-Gather around.

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

LET'S WIN WITH A CALLED GAME!

Fielders, check the signs.

Today we'll score from the beginning

and have an easy game, okay?

-Okay!
-Let's go!

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

-We're different!
-Yes!

WE'RE DIFFERENT! WE'RE WONKWANG!

CK Monsters versus Wonkwang University.

The game starts now.

Let's go. Let's kill them!

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

They're in high spirits!

-Pump up your energy!
-Okay.

Let's go!

Start in the first inning.

Wonkwang University's starting pitcher is

Seo Seong-il today.

He throws sidearms up to 140km/h.

He is able to throw
various types of pitches.

He's the ace of Wonkwang University.

He has a very good pitching form.

Isn't that Moon-ho's pitch?

No.

-He can't play.
-He has no chance.

-Call Park Tae-hun.
-Pardon me?

Is it Park Dae-eun?

Yesterday's pitcher. Is it Park Dae-eun?

-Their pitcher, sir?
-Is it Rhee Dae-eun?

Rhee Dae-eun.

-Our pitcher.
-Rhee Dae-eun?

-Yes.
-Yes.

-Call him over.
-Dae-eun.

-Yes, sir.
-The manager.

NERVOUS

-Yes, sir.
-How are you feeling today?

-Pardon?
-Are you okay?

-Yes, sir.
-Are you?

LAUGHING
STOP

Be ready to throw after the fifth.

-Pardon?
-After the fifth.

Yes, sir.

He's so different from earlier.

Game.

"I can't pitch today."

But to the manager he said,
"I'm okay, sir."

LYING

Jeez.

HE THINKS IT'S FUNNY TOO

A FAKE SMILE

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

From the first inning!

Yesterday, he had four hits
and a base on balls.

He got on base five times.

Now his batting average is .343.

He played really well yesterday.

So I have high hopes today.

Jeong Keun-woo's BA went up a lot.

He's batter one.

-Okay.
-Good.

-Good.
-All right.

It won't go in.

Keun-woo knows this clearly.

Yesterday's game is now in the past.

Even if Manager Kim praised you yesterday,
he could scold you today.

Right.

That's why Keun-woo won't lose focus.

-Right.
-It'll be in this time.

2 BALLS

3 BALLS

KEUN-WOO WATCHES THE PITCH CAREFULLY

He has really good eyes.

You can't throw four balls.

You have to get him!

The starting pitcher Seo Seong-il
isn't able to find the strike zone.

Wait.

It's a walk.

HIS 6TH TIME GETTING ON BASE!

It's another walk.

You get on base too often.

Let's kill them from the first inning.

-Four balls.
-It's too often.

Let's score seven runs
in the first inning.

IT'S A GOOD START

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo gets on base
from the beginning.

Hello.

Manager Kim placed Seo Dong-wook
as the second hitter.

SEO DONG-WOOK IS AT BAT

He had three hits yesterday.

Today, he's batter two.

Manager Kim is trying to have
a stronger batting order.

Yes.

I NEED TO PERFORM WELL…

Go long.

Nice.

MAKING A DASH

WHAT IS IT?

Nice.

-Nice.
-Out.

-Checking first base.
-Out. Instant replay.

He requests instant replay.

SCREAMING

Instant replay.

I MUST REQUEST IT!

He's definitely out.

STARTLED

THEY REQUESTED AN INSTANT REPLAY?

Am I out?

SENSING DOOM

-Am I out?
-I'm not sure.

-Right?
-Yes.

That was fast.

-He requests instant replay.
-It was very close.

Jeong Keun-woo didn't slide in the end.

The timing is a little ambiguous.

NO!

-I think he's dead.
-Is he?

I think he is.

Sliding!

WHY DIDN'T YOU SLIDE?

BASICALLY, HE DIDN'T EXPECT IT

A NERVE-WRACKING CALL

What's the call?

WHAT IS THE RESULT?

-He looks dead already.
-Yes, he does.

LOOKING DEAD

He threw really fast.

He did it this time.

What does that smile mean?

The call…

SMILING

…is overturned.

Okay!

Nice.

Okay. That's it.

-Okay!
-Oh, my god.

A SUDDEN CHILL

GLARING

AS GOOD AS DEAD

GLANCING
CLAPPING RELUCTANTLY

GLANCING

LOOKING AWAY

GLANCING

It's okay.

He was fast.

It's as if his shoulder went in and out.

-He throws fast.
-He does.

IF YOU LOOK TO THE SIDE, YOU'RE DEAD

You can't go to Incheon today.

You'll have to practice
base running tonight.

CREAKING

STEALING A GLANCE
WHILE PRETENDING TO WIPE OFF SWEAT

GLANCING

STEALING A GLANCE
OVER HIS SHOULDER

SILENT FEAR

TRYING TO PEEP AT THE BOOK

This out probably woke Jeong Keun-woo up.

-Let's keep going.
-Let's go.

Go!

He pushes.

-Left fielder goes after it.
-Go!

-Good!
-Left fielder near the line.

-Catch it.
-He waits and catches it. Two outs.

ANXIOUS…

THE MONSTERS QUICKLY
BECOME QUIET IN THE DUGOUT

Bring it on!

Hee-kwan.

-Why are they so energetic today?
-They're good.

It's always like this in the second round.

It hasn't been good from the first inning.

We shouldn't let Wonkwang gain momentum.

No. Seo Seong-il has only one out left.

Yes.

Batter three Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

His batting average is .297
in A Clean Sweep.

-Taek-keun!
-Let's go!

Let's go!

PLEASE SAVE US…

I'LL SAVE YOU

-Here we go.
-Let's go!

Hit the first pitch!

-Okay.
-It skips off the bat.

-Third!
-Third baseman goes to foul territory.

The catcher moves too.

He catches it in foul territory.

YES!

Good!

THE MANAGER IS SURPRISED

The inning is finished
after three batters.

That was the top of the first inning.

MOVING ABOUT BUSILY

Defense!

Defense.

FLEEING TO SURVIVE

-Jeez.
-Let's do this.

SIGHING…

Go for it.

Keun-woo threw a wet blanket
in the first inning.

JEONG THE WET BLANKET

Where is Jeong Keun-woo?

A CHILL RUNS DOWN THE SPINE

LOOKING FOR KEUN-WOO

It's so different
from yesterday's first inning.

It can completely change though.

SOMEONE WILL SAVE US, RIGHT?

It's the bottom of the first inning.
Wonkwang is at bat.

Today's starting pitcher is Oh Ju-won.

Manager Kim

notified Ju-won yesterday
that he would be the starting pitcher.

Yes.

Good pitching.

He's strong.

NODDING

Batter one Kwak Gi-hun is at bat.

-Gi-hun, let's go!
-Let's go!

-Let's go, batter one!
-Gi-hun!

Be aggressive!

I'LL CRUSH HIM!

Gi-hun!

-You can't hit Ju-won's pitch.
-Let's go!

-They can't.
-Let's go, Ju-won!

HE HITS!

He pushes the first pitch.

Left. It's a foul.

LOOK AT THAT POWER

Look at that!

He hit a foul. It's not good.

How can you say a foul is good?

STRIKE

Strike.

THE FASTEST PITCH OF THE SEASON!

-It's 136km/h.
-He's good.

-What?
-That was his velocity before he retired.

Right.

I can't hit that either.

Ju-won quickly threw two strikes.

The ball drops.

THE BALL GOES PAST THE PITCHER!

IT GOES TO KEUN-WOO!

Yes.

PLEASE CATCH IT!

RUNNING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT!

Jeong Keun-woo catches it.

To first base. He's out on first base.

-Safe!
-Safe!

SCREAMING

-I think he's out.
-No.

-No.
-I don't think so.

I think he's out.

FACING ANOTHER HARDSHIP

-It's safe.
-It is.

-Safe.
-It's safe.

-That was a very good defense.
-Yes.

-That breaking ball just dropped.
-It was perfect.

He lowered his body to catch it.

ACTUALLY, HE TOUCHED BASE FIRST!

If they requested instant replay…
I don't know.

We can't use them all like this.

-We already used one.
-Yes.

Gi-hun.

-Do you think it was out?
-I think so.

Okay.

THE MANAGER OF WONKWANG
DOESN'T REQUEST INSTANT REPLAY

THANK YOU

Batter two Lee Dong-gwan.

He has been selected
as a player for KT Wiz.

Today, Ryu Hyun-in has come
to watch the game

after joined KT Wiz officially
through the KBO draft.

Batter two Lee Dong-gwan
will be on Hyun-in's team.

-Lee Dong-gwan!
-Lee Dong-gwan!

It's close to the hitter. A ground ball.

Shortstop Chi Seok-hoon

throws it precisely to Lee Dae-ho.

-Two outs.
-Good.

-Okay.
-Seok-hoon.

A good one.

OVERREACTING

GLANCING

Nice!

That was smooth.

-One out left.
-Okay.

-Two outs.
-Two outs.

Batter three Kim Da-un is at bat.

All throughout high school,
his batting average was .300.

Kim Da-un is a good batter.

It's like 2004.

Rookie of the year.

HE HITS!

Another brushback. He bats sharply.

A hit to the left.

KIM DA-UN GETS ON BASE

Batter three Kim Da-un made the first hit

against Oh Ju-won today.

Please win it all!

This can become
a critical situation for the Monsters.

Yes.

This situation can bring the mood down.

Everyone is here.

PLEASE, STOP!
AT THIS RATE, WE'LL ALL DIE!

Two outs. A runner on first base.

Now, batter four

-Nam Gye-won is at bat.
-Nam Gye-won, let's go!

BATTER 4 NAM GYE-WON

Don't lose your pace.

You're good.

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch.

Toward first base. A foul.

You can relax. You can get him.

Oh Ju-won!

-Okay.
-Outside.

THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE TO JU-WON

-Okay.
-It's a strike. Two strikes.

It's hittable, but it's different.

It comes in like this.

A slider.

I think it's better to throw a curveball
than a four-seam.

Good.

JU-WON, GOOD JOB!

PLEASE SAVE US…

Then, it'd be
three different trajectories.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 WONKWANG

The ball drops.
He swings and misses. A strikeout.

A GRATEFUL STRIKEOUT!

With the curveball
Commentator Kim mentioned,

he got a strikeout.

Starting pitcher Oh Ju-won
didn't lose any points this inning.

A ROAR OF RELIEF

Yes, that curve.

-Nice.
-That's it.

ALL WALKING OVER

-Nice.
-Sorry.

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

-I threw too many.
-It's okay.

Don't throw too many.

I threw too many. I'm sorry, sir.

A GUILTY CONSCIENCE

It's the top of the second inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.

Wonkwang University is
clearly different today.

-Right.
-Yes.

Now, Lee Dae-ho steps up to bat.

-Let's go.
-Hello.

AWE-INSPIRING

Bo-gyeom.

I'm scared.

The batter's box is quite far away.

I felt like he'd hit a big one.

Let's go.

OVERWHELMING PRESENCE

It looks like
he's gotten bigger overnight.

Jeez.

He's definitely eye-catching.

JAW-DROPPING

What will he throw to Lee Dae-ho?

WHAT'S HIS 1ST PITCH
TO BATTER 4 LEE DAE-HO?

He watches the first pitch.

SEO SEONG-IL FACES HIM HEAD-ON

WHAT WAS THAT?

KEEPING DISTANCE AGAIN

WELL, ALL RIGHT

Get him, Seong-il!

HE HITS!

He pushes. It's a foul. Two strikes.

-Good.
-Good play!

Good pitching.

We have a chance today.

HE'S PRETTY GOOD!

UNEXPECTED GAMEPLAY

Let's go.

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

We have a long way to go.

Starting pitcher Seo Seong-il is fighting

Lee Dae-ho, the big name.

He hits!

THE BALL FLIES HIGH!

-It's high!
-It goes up high!

FLOCKING

-It's gone.
-It went over.

NO WAY

IS IT A HOME RUN?

Toward the fence!

-Go more!
-The fence!

-Okay!
-It stops at the warning track.

Wasn't it a home run?

How can it not go over?

It's the wind.

-Yes.
-Yes.

ASTONISHED

The wind saved us.

So this is how it feels.

LEE DAE-HO'S CLASS

-Good swing.
-Did it skip off the bat?

No, it was a curveball. I hit it well.

-"I hit it well."
-It should've gone over.

-You would've hit a fastball harder.
-Yes.

The ball came in well.

It can't go over with a slow ball.

The field is too big.

A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED

-Let's go.
-I thought it'd go over.

Captain Park Yong-taek is at bat.

Captain.

Park Yong-taek's batting average
dropped to .205.

If he has no hits today,

-the first digit could change.
-Yes.

IF YOU'RE A CAPTAIN, HIT ONE NOW!

Outside ball. It hits the pitcher's leg.

THE DIRECTION OF THE BALL CHANGED

Third baseman catches it. First base.

He's tagged out on first base.

NICE!

Thank you so much!

-What?
-He's unlucky.

UNLUCKY

HE'S AN INTERESTING BATTER

He's unlucky.

ONLY .002 LEFT UNTIL BA OF .100

-It's okay.
-So close.

-It was so close.
-Good swing.

GLANCING

GLANCING OVER AT THE DEATH

ETERNAL ADMISSION
TO EXTRA BATTING TRAINING

-One out left.
-Let's go. We can focus!

Batter six Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.

Let's go, Eui-yoon!

So far,

you can't say CK Monsters are doing badly,

but they aren't doing well either.

We need to score a point quickly.

-They do.
-Yes.

HE HITS!

Second pitch is a ground ball again.
Third baseman catches it.

Second pitch is a ground ball again.

AN YEONG-HWAN'S SWIFT CATCH!

To first base. He's out on first base.

-Great job!
-That's it!

THEY ARE UNSTOPPABLE

Nice.

EVERYONE SIGHS

Third baseman An Yeong-hwan makes
several great defensive plays today.

Wonkwang University makes it
a 1-2-3 inning.

We're good today!

I'm the third baseman.

I'm the third baseman!

I'M CUT OUT FOR THE 3RD BASEMAN!

THE DUGOUT IS IN COMPLETE SILENCE

WONKWANG GAINED TOTAL MOMENTUM

GLANCING

We need to focus.

We can't play like this.

-Defense.
-We have to focus.

WE CAN'T LOSE TO THEM LIKE THIS!

The bottom of the second.

Oh Ju-won allowed a hit after two outs.

But he didn't lose any points.

He endured the first inning
without a crisis.

Still, it doesn't seem like

the Monsters are gaining momentum.

It looks like Wonkwang is
gaining momentum today.

-Focus!
-Okay.

Let's score the first point.

Bae Seong-ryeol's
slugging percentage is .634.

He's the number one
home run hitter on his team.

Don't let him get on base.

-He hits hard.
-Yes, run.

-Okay.
-Oh Ju-won throws it to first base.

One out.

Good job, Ju-won.

You're doing well. Don't throw too many.

In the first inning,

the fielders didn't play good defense.

Ju-won has to stop
the batters perfectly here.

-Good.
-It's good.

Next, Seo Bo-gyeom is at bat.

He's at the bottom of the lineup,
but we need to focus.

-Run fast.
-You need to get on base.

Ju-won, get a shutout.

-Good!
-Get a shutout.

Go for a shutout.

HE HITS!

Right.

IT GOES TOWARD RIGHT FIELDER

It flies to the right
and falls in front of the right fielder.

-It's in!
-That's it!

-Go!
-Okay!

Go!

He throws it to second.

Seo Bo-gyeom's hit goes to second base.

He slides into second base.

SEO BO-GYEOM REACHES 2ND BASE

After one out, batter six Seo Bo-gyeom
has a two-base hit.

He's in a scoring position.

-Nice!
-Good job!

-Okay!
-Nice!

After one out, he allows another hit.

JU-WON LETS THEM HAVE ANOTHER HIT

THE MONSTERS HIDE
BEHIND THE PILLAR AGAIN

Oh Ju-won's outside four-seam
went in really well.

But the way he batted was very good.

A RUNNER IS IN A SCORING POSITION!

It's one out. A runner on second base.

There are two outs left.

The runner is in a scoring position.

Batter seven Choi Ji-min is at bat.

The flow of the game depends

on which team scores first.

That's right.

JU-WON MIGHT ALLOW A RUN

One at a time!

Don't give him a good ball.

-Right!
-It goes high.

A HIGH HIT!

-Retouch!
-Right fielder moves back.

Go!

Second base runner tags up.

-Retouch!
-Third!

-Go for it.
-He has to go.

-To third base.
-Here it goes.

The ball doesn't go to third base.

SEO BO-GYEOM REACHES 3RD BASE!

Okay!

THIS IS WONKWANG UNIVERSITY!

THE DUGOUT BECOMES STIFLING

Okay.

Okay.

-Okay.
-Two outs.

-Two outs.
-Two outs.

He's close to losing a point again.

STILL IN DANGER OF LOSING A POINT

Seo Bo-gyeom is now on third base.

Batter eight Choi Yeong-min is at bat.

Don't swing in vain, Yeong-min.

Don't get scared.

Choi Yeong-min had a hit yesterday.

Two outs.

You're good. You can get him.

It's the same.

Just cheer up. Two outs.

I thought today's game wouldn't be easy.

Depending on who scores first,

I thought the atmosphere would change.

STARTING PITCHER IN CRISIS

So I didn't want to let them score.

FULL-POWER PITCH

GRUNTING

HE HITS!

He hits a dropping ball.

GETTING MORE ANXIOUS

He has to throw a brushback.

The right-handed batters know

that Ju-won throws outside
for his first pitch.

He needs to change his pitch selection.

He did it.

-He did it.
-A brushback. Strike.

-All right.
-Nice ball.

-Good.
-Let's get one more.

Outside pitches are comfortable
for him to throw.

But the good ones are close to the hitter.

He places the mitt close to the hitter.

CHOOSES A BRUSHBACK

-Good. Go hard.
-Go hard.

THE LAST PITCH IS

Ju-won is facing a crisis
of allowing a run.

A FULL-POWER PITCH

It goes close to the hitter precisely.

THE PERFECT PITCH ENDS THE CRISIS

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

He did it.

-That's it.
-That's right.

-That's it.
-That's the spirit.

There was a crisis.

But Oh Ju-won on the mound

finishes the inning

without losing a point.

You still have a long way to go.

STAY ALERT, JU-WON

We just have to score two points.

They might end up playing
our team dinner video.

TEAM DINNER JINX COMES TO MIND

FOR LOSING

PARK DAE-EUN(?) DIDN'T KNOW
HE'D PLAY THE 2ND MATCH

THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

HOW PLAYERS ACT
WHEN THEY HAVE A GAME THE NEXT DAY

18 HOURS PRIOR TO
BEING KILLED BY A PICKOFF

If we lose without a fight today,

we should ban team dinners.

Are you nervous already?

LAUGHING

Well,

we're so different from yesterday.

We aren't putting any pressure on them.

HE CAN'T DENY THAT

THE COMMENTATORS LOOK LIKE
THEY'RE AT A FUNERAL

It's the top of the third inning.
CK Monsters are at bat.

TOP OF THE 3RD INNING
MONSTERS 0 : 0 WONKWANG

Let's go. We can focus!

Let's get it!

Good. Rookie Lee Dae-ho.

-Okay!
-You're so energetic.

We need to put pressure on them.

Okay, we need a hit.

-Let's go.
-Choi Soo-hyun.

We're being too careless!

We have five games left. We must focus!

If the bottom hitters

starting with Soo-hyun get on base
and make a chance…

-Keun-woo didn't do well today, right?
-Yes.

He'll do something big.

Let's make something before Keun-woo.

Do your thing, Soo-hyun.

If the junior players make a chance,

the Monsters can score points this inning.

Yes.

Choi Soo-hyun is at the forefront.

HE HITS!

Second!

He hits an outside pitch and runs.

Second baseman catches it.

-Safe!
-First baseman's foot comes off.

HERE WE GO!

Yes!

He's the god of the independent league.

Where are you throwing the ball to?

Second baseman threw the ball

and it went to the left of Seo Bo-gyeom.

So his foot came off.

This is like what happened yesterday.

He threw it to the side again.

Choi Soo-hyun got on base
because of Wonkwang's error.

Batter eight Chi Seok-hoon is at bat.

Seok-hoon, it's your chance.
Here's another chance.

THE MAN OF CHANCES, CHI SEOK-HOON

-Jeez.
-Seok-hoon!

-Do your thing!
-This is his sixth chance.

Seok-hoon, it's your last chance.

Seok-hoon, make an impact!

The coach position suits Jeong Seong-hoon.

He's giving signs very well.

Yesterday he missed
Manager Kim's sign once.

So he apologized with a bow.

-He'll bunt.
-He's posing to bunt.

The Monsters rarely go
for a sacrifice bunt.

This is the right time
for Chi Seok-hoon to bunt

considering his batting sense.

Yes.

LAUGHING

You're the best at bunting in KBO.

-Seok-hoon.
-Open your eyes wide.

Show your cheekbones.

Open your eyes wide!

Chi Seok-hoon has to bunt perfectly.

-He has to bunt toward first base.
-Yes.

Will he be able to carry
this strategy out?

-He bunts toward first base.
-Okay.

-He bunts toward first base.
-Okay.

-It is perfect.
-The pitcher catches it.

To first base. The batter is out.

Seok-hoon's sacrifice bunt
sends the runner to second base.

That's it.

Beautiful.

When you carry out
the manager's strategy perfectly,

-you get huge credit.
-Yes.

It's really important to send a runner
to a scoring position for the team.

-You're the best at bunting.
-Look at his face.

Good job.

-Are you sure you're happy?
-Nice bunt!

You're happy, right?

Sacrifice Bunt Chi.

-He's happy, right?
-He is.

He's really happy.

-Number one in KBO.
-Nice.

Great at carrying out a strategy.

Let's go.

Manager Kim praised the play.

One out. A runner on second base.

Batter nine Park Chan-hui is at bat.

Yesterday he hit a home run.

It's Park Chan-hui.

It was this scene.

He hit a home run at his ninth at-bat
in the Monsters' uniform.

It was the quickest home run
after Seo Dong-wook.

You must get him. Focus!

It's a college player
versus a college player.

So both of them would want to win.

The ball hits the inside of the bat

HE SWINGS WITHOUT HESITATION

A foul ball.

Chan-hui has the rhythm.

He can't control his power.

Every time he's at bat,
it's as if he's saying, "Bring it on."

We're in a scoring position.
So we must score a point.

HE HITS!

-It's a ground ball.
-He's in a pickle.

Third baseman catches it.

The batter is out on first base.

Two outs. Choi Soo-hyun can't advance.

UNLIKE THE 1ST MATCH,
THE GAME ISN'T PLAYING OUT WELL

The Monsters have
only one out left this inning.

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo is at bat again.

Keun-woo is ready.

A runner is in a scoring position.

-So Jeong Keun-woo has a lot to do.
-Of course.

He was awarded a walk on his first at-bat.

But he was out due to a pickoff.

RBI!

You're the only hope, Keun-woo.

CK Monsters have a chance to score
after two outs.

He watches the first curved pitch.

The devil will hit.

Jeong Keun-woo needs a hit.

-He was yesterday's MVP.
-Yes.

We're looking forward to Keun-woo's play.

He pulls.

He did it.

He pulls.

Third baseman catches it. To first base.

He's out on first base.

Third baseman An Yeong-hwan
plays good defense.

The Monsters couldn't score
any points this inning.

Nice.

WE GAINED MOMENTUM

Good.

It was a slow curve. Darn it.

I SEE, IT WAS SLOW…

It's the bottom of the third inning.

BOTTOM OF THE 3RD INNING
MONSTERS 0 : 0 WONKWANG

The Monsters are different from yesterday.

Yesterday we made a big second inning
and had an easy game.

But today, it's the third inning,
and we still haven't scored yet.

Oh Ju-won is on the mound

and he hasn't lost any points yet.

We have to watch out
for An Yeong-hwan though.

-He's a monstrous defender.
-Yes.

-He's the leadoff hitter.
-Yes.

You can do this!

-Get on base!
-Good defense!

Let's go.

The first pitch drops close to the hitter.

A changeup?

It looks like Ju-won is throwing
more balls.

Yes.

2 BALLS

-Okay.
-A low course.

It didn't go in.

Okay. Good eyes.

-Let's get on base.
-Great!

He's throwing difficult balls.

-But the batter doesn't swing.
-No.

He didn't swing at the ones
between ball and strike.

Right.

Oh Ju-won hasn't let
the first hitter get on base yet today.

Throwing four balls at the first hitter
is really bad.

He has to throw one in the center.

Yes.

But it doesn't go in.

Okay!

GOOD JOB GETTING ON BASE

A great opportunity!

Let's go!

He threw four balls at the leadoff hitter.

Oh Ju-won.

-No outs. A runner on first base.
-Wonkwang's batting order starts now.

Kwak Gi-hun who was out
due to a ground ball receives a sign.

It looks like they'll use a strategy.

IT'S OBVIOUS

BASEBALL GOD PULLS SOO-HYUN'S POSITION IN

He might do a surprise bunt.
We need to keep this in mind.

The pitcher has to focus
in a situation like this.

-He bunts.
-Leave it.

LEAVE IT!

Third baseman. It goes

out of the line.

It's a foul.

Choi Soo-hyun waited for it
to go outside the line.

Come back! It's a foul!

The ball was on the line.

He saw it curving.

He caught it right after
it went outside the line.

No outs. A runner on first.

NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

Okay, Gi-hun! Keep it going!

Do it!

Score the first point!

-It looks like something will happen.
-It does.

WE NEED TO PUT A STOP
TO THE SERIOUS ATMOSPHERE

HE HITS!

It's up. Shortstop. Third baseman.

Shortstop Chi Seok-hoon approaches.

-The balls drop fast.
-Left fielder comes down.

Jung Eui-yoon takes care of it.

If you call it, I'll move away.

It's because it fell in front of me.

Sorry, I didn't see you.

The two players showed
a perfect call play.

It's one out,
a runner is still on first base.

Batter two Lee Dong-gwan is at bat.

BABY WIZ LEE DONG-GWAN IS AT BAT

-Double!
-He can do it.

STRIKE

First pitch. Outside. One strike.

Dong-gwan, your timing was slow.

-Okay. Good.
-Okay.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 WONKWANG

Second pitch. A foul to the back.

Now it's two strikes.

THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE TO JU-WON

It's two nothing.

-He threw only two strikes.
-Yes.

He needs to throw two difficult ones.

I CAN'T THROW EASY ONES

He has to throw a ball.

The count is favorable to the pitcher.
Oh Ju-won sends it low.

He doesn't respond to a dropping ball.

It's difficult.

He's tenacious.

Oh Ju-won threw 45 pitches.

But there are still two outs left
in the third inning.

-He's signaling a strategy.
-He's giving signs.

Wonkwang University is different
from yesterday.

AN YEONG-HWAN STANDS AWAY FROM BASE

Let's go for a double.

If we get a double, it'll be over soon.

Double play!

Go for 6-4-3!

Don't die alone, Dong-gwan.

Die together!

Fielders have to move well.

There could be a ground ball.
They need to move.

ALL THE INFIELDERS ARE FOCUSED

-Go!
-Runner starts to run.

Runner starts to run. Batter hits.

NO WAY…

DID HE MAKE IT?

Runner starts to run. Batter hits.

He steps on the base. To first base.

He's out on first base!

Chi Seok-hoon's great double play!

Seok-hoon!

NICE SEOK-HOON

Seok-hoon.

He can't die alone.

Chi Seok-hoon threw himself
and saved this inning.

The inning is over.

The score is still zero to zero.

SEOK-HOON'S HUSTLE PLAY
STOPPED THE CRISIS

-Seok-hoon.
-Good job.

Look at that performance.

-He can't die alone.
-Good job.

Very good.

-Good.
-Nice.

I knew it.

-Well done.
-Good job, Seok-hoon.

-Good performance.
-Good defense.

-Strong MVP candidate.
-Okay.

-Nice.
-Well done.

You could've stepped aside.

Nice one.

I fell forward.

HE ALWAYS HAS EXCUSES

-Let's score.
-Let's score now.

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

-Let's score!
-We can do this.

Ju-won, you threw only 40 pitches.

Okay. About five left.

Three innings left.

It's hard to have a hit.

LAUGHING

-It could've been a hit, right?
-What?

-It could've been a hit.
-Yes.

THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A HIT

Do you understand me now?

Yes. It's really hard to have a hit.

GETTING EMOTIONAL

There will be a hit.

I really hope Yong-taek hits a big one
on a day like this.

Yes.

-Right?
-Yes. This inning.

I want Yong-taek to hit one
for his sake too.

It's the top of the fourth inning.

CK Monsters will be at bat.

Seo Seong-il is still on the mound.

The Monsters are definitely
different from yesterday.

The batters haven't made any hits yet.

Let's score this time.

Let's score!

Seo Seong-il is different.

So the flow of the game is tight.

Yes.

IT'S A TIGHT GAME

Neither team scored
for the past three innings.

HE HITS!

He sends it to the outfield.

-Okay!
-He did it.

-Did he do it?
-Yes.

He sends it to the outfield.
To the center.

Center fielder moves back.

He catches it
right in front of the running track.

One out.

Right-handed sidearm pitcher
Seo Seong-il is still standing strong.

It was a careless pitch.

THE GAME ISN'T GOING WELL

Batter three Lee Tae-keun is here.

Let's get on base.

PLEASE GET ON BASE!

There's the next batter.

What will he do prior to Lee Dae-ho?

The ball drops low. Four balls.

LET'S GO

Good eye.

-Good eye.
-Nice.

NOT LEE DAE-HO…

He gets on base on balls.

One out. A runner on first base.

There's a runner on base
before Lee Dae-ho.

This is just the beginning.

We praise Lee Dae-ho
for how he pushes the ball

-when there's a runner on base.
-Yes.

He lets the runner move.

He always has a hit,
not just a ground ball.

I have high hopes.

It goes far and out.

He's facing Lee Dae-ho
after a runner got on base.

The ball was way off.

He's just another hitter.

Don't think he's different.

Tell him to hit hard.

Dae-ho, hit hard!

NODDING

Don't lose to college students.

It goes outside.

Outside again. Three balls.

Dae-ho is waiting for his ball patiently.

Don't let the batters get on base.

If Lee Dae-ho gets on base on balls,

Park Yong-taek will have a huge chance.

I hope that happens.

EXHALE

It's better to let him hit.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 WONKWANG

It goes way off. Four balls straight.

We got it. Let's go.

We got it. Captain.

You run.

My legs are so heavy.

Two walks after one out.

-There are two runners.
-Line drive.

Let's go. We got it.

This is a real chance.

His batting average is .202 now.

If he doesn't have a hit here,

his BA will go below .200.

The Monsters need a problem solver.

And right now, Captain Park is at bat.

HIS BA COULD DROP TO .100

MONSTERS 0 : 0 WONKWANG

STRIKE

-The first pitch is a strike.
-It was far.

Guard your pride of 2,504 hits.

-Show them.
-Hit it high.

The most hits in KBO.

THE MOST IMPORTANT AT-BAT

He makes a big swing at the second pitch.

SWINGING

Two strikes.

THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A HIT…

He swings very fast and well.

You might think that
he just swung and missed.

But Manager Kim said something yesterday.

What was it?

"Yong-taek will hit well tomorrow."

"Why do you think that, sir?"

"His swing comes forward well."

"Let's see how he does tomorrow."

Park Yong-taek is at bat
at the most important moment.

This is the Monsters' first chance
in the fourth inning.

HE HITS!

He hits the outside pitch!

-That's it!
-A hit to the center-right!

THAT'S IT!

CAPTAIN SHOWED THEM

-Okay.
-Nice!

THE RUNNERS MAKE A MAD DASH

Second base runner reaches third base.
And he…

-Go!
-Go quickly!

Go!

And he reaches home base!

MONSTERS 1 : 0 WONKWANG

Captain Park's timely hit!

CAPTAIN PARK'S HIT
BREAKS THE SILENCE!

-Yes!
-Yes!

SURGE OF EXCITEMENT

Nice!

OH, MY CAPTAIN!

Manager Kim's prediction was right!

THAT WAS JAW-DROPPING

If someone sees this,

they might think it's scripted.

Manager Kim's prediction
was totally right.

Finally, Captain Park had a hit.

Yes. We desperately
needed Yong-taek's hit.

-I thought he only did it for LG fans.
-Right.

But he did it for the Monsters.

He did it.

Finally, Captain Park had a timely hit.

Park Yong-taek helped
the team score first.

-It was about time.
-You did it.

Good job.

-That's it.
-Yes!

IT'S LIKE A FESTIVAL

I had to do it eventually.

A MIND-BLOWING PLAY

I've had it coming since yesterday.

-Hello, sir.
-Hi.

SUDDENLY A GENTLEMAN

We got a breakthrough.

-Nine points left.
-We got it.

If we do a squeeze play,
can Dae-ho come in?

AN ABRUPT QUESTION

HE CAN'T

Well…

FROZEN

-Squeeze.
-I don't think so.

They won't expect it though.

-They won't.
-I don't think they will.

They might do a run-down
even if he gets a head start.

I'M SO LONELY…

Now, it's one out.
Runners on third and first.

Jung Eui-yoon had multiple hits yesterday.

Eui-yoon makes a really great hit

-Yes.
-when it's sent to center-right.

We have a chance to score

another point easily.

That's right.

Outside. The ball bounces!

A WILD PITCH!

The ball goes out.

DAE-HO, RUN!

-Run!
-Quickly!

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING…

MAKING A DASH

Lee Dae-ho reaches
the home base leisurely.

Another point.

MEANWHILE, YONG-TAEK REACHES 2ND BASE

All right!

-Okay!
-Okay!

-Yes!
-Nice!

Wonkwang gives away a point

while they are under pressure.

The score is two to zero.

MOVING SLOWLY

Good job.

You did what you wanted.

Nice.

-Hey.
-You're so fast.

-You're fast!
-You're fast!

-Jeez.
-You're fast!

-Okay.
-Nice.

Jeez.

I WANT TO GO HOME FAST

-He has quick feet.
-You did what you wanted.

Let's stop them here.

DIZZY

It's the same, Seong-il. Get him.

We need a short hit.

Two points are big,

but three points would be even bigger.

Make a hit.

There.

HE HITS!

He hits it up high.

Shortstop goes after it.

He waits and catches it.

2 OUTS

TERRIBLE

Soo-hyun, you have to do it.

Show them, Soo-hyun.

HE HITS!

He hits it to the center.

-Okay!
-That's it!

Fall. Quickly.

It goes to the center.
Center fielder moves.

He waits and catches it. Three outs.

But in this inning,

Captain Park had a timely hit
that led to the first point.

The Monsters scored first today as well.

You haven't had a hit in a while.

I almost got a cramp in my thigh.

A PAPER DOLL

-You look relaxed now.
-Well done.

TRIUMPHANT

Good job.

-Don't be too proud.
-Nice.

You're too proud.

You're our captain.
Our captain is the best.

Our problem solver.

Good eye. Nice.

Good job.

JUNG EUI-YOON, CHOI SOO-HYUN
EXTRA BATTING TRAINING

How did this happen?

-This inning was fun.
-Yes.

IT'S FUN WHEN WE SCORE

-Come.
-Gather around.

-Gather around.
-Come on.

All the pitchers have good control.

That means it's easy to make contact.

Before you make contact,

you need to think
about what you're going to hit.

That way you can hit confidently.

Then you can hit.

Let's score points.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-Let's go!
-Yes!

Let's score a point this time.

The score is two to zero.
Bottom of the fourth inning.

Ju-won will pitch to be a winning pitcher.

The batting order is really good
in this inning.

He needs to stop them quickly.

The first hitter is Kim Da-un.

KIM DA-UN HAD A HIT BEFORE

Oh Ju-won says he takes out a batter

who has a hit against him no matter what.

-Right.
-This is his chance.

Oh Ju-won let Kim Da-un have a hit today.

HE HITS!

A ground ball. Third baseman catches it.

Choi Soo-hyun sends it to first base.

He's out on first base.

Dae-ho. Get ready for a changeup.

RELIABLE

Good.

How did that get caught?

Batter four Nam Gye-won is at bat.

HE HITS!

He hits a high ball downward.
Second baseman catches it.

Jeong Keun-woo sends it to Lee Dae-ho.
Two outs.

Dae-ho is huge.

If there's a big first baseman,

the fielders feel comfortable
throwing the ball,

because the target has a big area.

Right.

-Dae-ho is very tall too.
-Yes.

-He makes Song Seung-jun look small.
-Good!

BEST 1ST BASEMAN LEE DAE-HO

I threw with all I got and it was 128km/h.

Nice ball.

I'm tired.

CRYING

Let's have a complete game.

How many does he usually throw?

He usually pitches in the middle.

How many did Ju-won throw
for five innings?

Over 80 pitches.

TWICE THE CURRENT AMOUNT

About 80 pitches, sir.

-He throws about 90.
-From 80 to 90.

About 80 to 90, sir.

SATISFIED

You're the youngest here.

You still have 43 pitches to go.

So 43 shots left?

DARN YOU…

Let's score!

Swing that bat!

Bae Seong-ryeol,
the fifth hitter, is up next.

MONSTERS 2 : 0 WONKWANG

It bounces off the mound.
Second base fields it.

To first base!

-First base!
-Lee Dae-ho!

My gosh.

Second base fields it.

To first base!

-First base!
-Lee Dae-ho!

-He got it!
-He manages to catch it!

DEFENSE FAIRY LEE DAE-HO

-He got it!
-He manages to catch it!

THIS GUY IS TOO OVERPOWERED

My goodness.

(CLENCHING HIS TEETH)

He's so good.

It was a shaky throw.
But he caught it with his bare hands.

He blocked the ball with his shoulders
and caught it.

THANKS TO HIS BIG PHYSIQUE
THE ROOKIE 1ST BASEMAN SAVES THE DAY

I'VE BEEN SAVED!

His belly caught it.

WHAT A FUNNY GUY

What was that throw?

How did you catch the ball?

-With my shoulders.
-Okay.

-Gosh, my shoulder.
-Nice.

-Good job.
-Nice defense.

Nice.

Throw more accurately next time.

-But that was sick.
-He sucked the ball in.

The ball glued onto me.

I caught it, and it glued on here.

It's like you're a magnet.

THE BALL WENT BETWEEN MY LEGS…

Ju-won forced three ground balls.

The first 1-2-3 inning today for Ju-won.

ALMOST LOST EVERYTHING IN THE PROCESS

Darn.

That really freaked me out.

HE IS STILL IN SHOCK

-You okay?
-Yes, sir.

You need more spin.

-Aim for outside.
-Yes, sir.

-The ball is too deep inside.
-Yes, sir.

HE CHUCKLES…

The game moves into the fifth
with the Monsters on offense.

Chi Seok-hoon is up next.

-Seokgu, let's do this.
-All right.

-Prove yourself.
-Yes, sir!

-Don't go as far as hitting a homer.
-What?

-Don't hit a home run.
-Yes, sir.

LET'S NOT HIT A HOME RUN!

I'm looking forward
to his performance today.

The bases are empty as he gets ready.

I MUST NOT HIT A HOME RUN

INFINITELY REPEATS HIMSELF
THAT HE MUST NOT HIT A HOME RUN

HE HITS IT?

He makes contact into the 5-6 hole.

YOU DID IT AGAIN, SEOKGU!

GLANCING

I'M GLAD HE UNDERSTOOD MY MESSAGE

Manager Kim's extra batting training

leads to Chi Seok-hoon's hit.

Nice batting.

Good work!

EXTRA BATTING TRAINING FOR THE WIN

There you go!

Good swing.

-He did well.
-A clean hit.

SUPER SATISFIED

-Hello.
-Hey, good work.

It's been a while.

LAUGHING

I don't know why,
but Seok-hoon makes me laugh.

I have no idea why.

CARRYING OUT THE PLAN
WITH A RUNNER ON FIRST

PROCESSING THE STRATEGY

A BUNT

He's in bunt posture.

When a hitter advances to a base,

Manager Kim tends to go
for a bunt without hesitating.

That's true.

Let him bunt the ball.

THE DEFENSE MOVES FORWARD FOR THE BUNT

I MUST BUNT WELL

Let him hit it!

He bunts the ball.

Run!

A PERFECT BUNT!

He covers first base!

Out on first base.

Seok-hoon advances to second.

A good sacrifice bunt by Park Chan-hui.

I knew you'd do well.

GOOD JOB, CHAN-HUI!

That was a perfect bunt.

It was a high brushback.

You can see here
Seo Seong-il slips because of the grass.

Park Chan-hui slowed down on purpose

in order to prevent first base
from tagging him sooner.

Good job.

A bunt hitter.

CHUCKLES

-Good work.
-Thank you.

A runner on second with an out.

The runner is in scoring position.

Keun-woo was picked off
after advancing with a walk,

and he didn't have a valid hit
right before this appearance.

Hey, it's about time you got a hit.

Bring out the devil in you!

The game is not going
as planned for Keun-woo today.

But he was the MVP yesterday.

PICK OFFS

GROUND BALLS

NO HITS

An outside pitch.

-Good eye!
-Nice job holding back.

DETERMINED TO WIN

GLANCING

A sharp swing!

A HIT TO THE LEFT!

This is what I'm talking about!

HE SPRINTS

Seok-hoon is going for home!

Come on, let's go.

And Seok-hoon comes home safely.

MONSTERS 3 : 0 WONKWANG

Keun-woo's first RBI of the game!

He easily scores a run.

KIM KEUN-WOO IS BACK

-All right!
-Nice.

-Great job!
-Great job, you devil!

SIGH…

Good work.

Nice.

Seven more runs.

-Nice.
-Bring it in.

Seok-hoon made this happen.

-Seok-hoon!
-Amazing job.

Seven more runs!

The score is three to zero
with a runner on first with one out.

I STILL WANT MORE

Next up is batter two, Seo Dong-wook.

Attempts to pick him off.

Can't repeat the same mistake.

-You can't die twice.
-Not twice.

Don't die twice!

TELL KEUN-WOO

TO PLEASE STAY STILL

CALLS KEUN-WOO

Keun-woo, don't lead off too much.

IF YOU DIE AGAIN,
HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!

INCHES OUT A BIT

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

Seo Dong-wook hits a fly ball.

Catch it!

Center!

Keun-woo retouches the base.

-Center fielder catches it.
-Second!

But Keun-woo is forced back.

-Go right away.
-Nice.

Nice movements there.

Keun-woo was looking
for a chance to advance

in case they fail
to throw the ball quickly.

Isn't Keun-woo in his forties?

And he still has his touch.

After getting picked off,

he's been making faithful
and passionate plays.

MONSTERS 3 : 0 WONKWANG

Lee Taek-keun, batter three, is up next.

It skips off the end of the bat.

A FLY BALL NEAR THE RIGHT FIELDER

Right fielder waits for the ball.

He catches it for the last out.

With Chi Seok-hoon advancing to a base

and Keun-woo's RBI,

they add another run to the score.

HE MAKES UP HIS MIND

HE TURNS AROUND

HE AUTOMATICALLY RESPONDS

Where does Kim Moon-ho play in defense?

Sorry, sir?

Which position does Moon-ho play?

-Right fielder.
-Right?

-Switch with him.
-Yes, sir.

-Moon-ho as the hitter.
-Okay.

PARK YONG TAEK, KIM MOON-HO

Dae-ho, I'm batting right after you.

CHUCKLES

NERVOUS, CONFIDENT

The game is now in the sixth inning.

Fight him from the start!

The catcher has been
switched to Seo U-jin.

Dae-ho doesn't have any hits so far today.

Let's go, Dae-ho!

Goes for the first pitch, but a foul.

FOUL

YES, A FOUL!

We're on a roll!

Dae-ho, don't lose to a college student.

This is your chance at your rookie award!

The rookie for the Monsters!

We have a rookie award ready for you.

Aren't you technically a rookie too?

PITCHED 17 INNINGS
OUT OF 217 INNINGS

That's true. I rarely pitch.

ALMOST A ROOKIE 1, ALMOST A ROOKIE 2

This is a one-on-one battle.
Show us your skills!

HE HITS!

The ball flies into the right.
A tricky one.

It drops right in front
of the center fielder.

I KNEW IT!

There's no need to hit far!

Nice swing!

The Monsters' fourth hitter, Dae-ho,

refuses to miss his swings today as well.

-Nice.
-Good job.

The super rookie!

From a technical perspective,
Dae-ho just amazes us.

Indeed.

I would call this a lucky hit
for most hitters,

but not for Lee Dae-ho.
He swung his bat perfectly

and pushed the ball out for the hit.

That's right.

The first hitter
manages to advance to first base.

Show us, you've hit a lot of balls today!

Show me your throwing
and your nimble feet.

You practiced batting all day before this.

We want to see some results.

KIM MOON-HO
EXTRA BATTING TRAINING VIP

EXCLUDED FROM THE LINEUP TWICE

I'LL PROVE MYSELF NO MATTER WHAT!

This was the first time
Manager Kim was watching me in the box,

so it was an opportunity for me.
A whole new chance for me.

I wanted to prove myself.

IF I CAN'T HIT NOW, IT'S OVER

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch
into the center-right!

IS MOON-HO MAKING A BIG PLAY?

PLEASE…

Center-right!

A clean hit!

MOON-HO IS NUTS

Run, Dae-ho!

The ball rolls near the wall
and Lee Dae-ho runs.

SPRINTING FOR HIS LIFE

Keep running!

Park Yong-taek tells him to keep going!

Keep running!

HE'S OUT OF BREATH

-To home!
-To home!

Home!

Run faster!

DOES HE MAKE IT HOME OR NOT?

-To home!
-To home!

-To home!
-To home!

He comes home safely!

MONSTERS 4 : 0 WONKWANG

GROANING

A triple by Kim Moon-ho!

The Baseball God's magic
works like a charm once again!

MOON-HO'S TRIPLE RBI

This is called skills.

COMPETITIVE SPIRIT

ROOKIE DAE-HO TRIED HIS HARDEST

THAT WAS SICK, DAE-HO!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS

-Nice.
-Come on in!

HE TRADED HIS BODY FAT FOR A RUN

Dae-ho

-All right.
-Come on in.

HE TURNS HIS FINGERS

MANAGER KIM, PLEASE SWITCH ME OUT!

I DON'T WANT TO

Dae-ho, you're quite fast.

So fast.

-Please switch me out, sir.
-No!

-Just this once.
-We have to win today. No!

-I'm tired to death.
-Then die running.

Kim Moon-ho has gone through
quite a rough patch lately.

But he showed his strength with a triple.

Look at Dae-ho running from first.

FASTER THAN HE LOOKS

Park Yong-taek told him to keep going
from the start.

Lee Dae-ho came home
from first base in a single play.

That is quite a rare sight.

MIRACULOUS MOMENT
OF LEE DAE-HO COMING HOME FROM 1ST

That is quite rare to see.

Most retired players
don't expect to run this fast anymore.

They usually don't even
think about running.

And he rolls his fingers around,
asking the manager to switch him.

He was so tired

that he asked Manager Kim to switch him.

Manager Kim, please switch me out.

No way.

ADAMANT

You're a rookie, you know.

-Manager Kim.
-I have no one else left to replace you.

CONFIRMED THAT HE CAN'T BE CHANGED

-Put up with it.
-He said, "no one else left."

-Manager.
-That's it.

Nice.

HE HITS!

Jung Eui-yoon's hit flies up.

The runner is on third.

WHAT?

-What?
-It's going far.

Don't run into each other!

-Mine!
-Mine!

A fly ball in the outfield.

-It bounces off the left fielder's glove!
-Another error!

WONKWANG'S ERROR IN DEFENSE

-Run!
-Run!

Go!

HITTER ADVANCES TO 2ND!

Third baserunner comes home safely.

You two ran into each other!

Jung Eui-yoon advances to second.

MONSTERS 5 : 0 WONKWANG

Batter six Jung Eui-yoon.

He somehow forces the pitcher
to throw a wild pitch,

and he advances to second base
when he only hit a fly ball

that could easily have been caught.

A shockingly mysterious hitter,
Jung Eui-yoon!

The Monsters have the potential
for another big inning here.

PROUDLY WALKS IN

You really proved yourself!

There's no end to learning.

You continue to learn.

-All right, five runs left.
-Nice.

Let's go home!

We only have five more runs left.

INITIATING THE PLAN

SENDING THE ORDER DOWN

-A bunt?
-He's going for a bunt.

SOO-HYUN WITH A FIRM BUNT

If Eui-yoon comes home, it's six to zero.

Wonkwang may end up losing
through a called game once again.

You're right.

SHOW THEM NO MERCY

MONSTERS 5 : 0 WONKWANG

A wild pitch!

-Run!
-They are in a mess.

SURPRISED!

A wild pitch! Runner advances to third.

He advances without a valid hit.

This is nuts!

Wonkwang is about
to fall apart completely.

My bad.

Keep a cool head.

He played well until the fifth.

But errors started coming up
from the sixth.

That's right.
The score is now five to zero.

A runner on third with no outs.

That's why they shifted
the defense forward.

NO MORE RUNS CAN BE ALLOWED

He's leading off!

WONKWANG MAKES A DEFENSIVE SHIFT

A runner on third with no outs.

That means I had to hit a ball
even if it meant my death.

I HAVE TO STOP THEM NO MATTER WHAT

HE HITS!

He makes contact!

He penetrates their defensive shift!

WE ARE THE BEST!

Nice.

All four batters
scored a hit consecutively.

The score is six to zero.

-All right!
-Nice.

Extra batting training is so effective.

You've improved!

I'm just amazed at the Monsters.

When the game was starting off today,

I thought today's game
would be difficult to win.

But after six innings,
they managed to stay ahead by six runs.

I'm substituting the pitcher.

Seong-il, you pitch well for a while,
but you break down too easily.

-Anyway, good work.
-Yes, sir.

Good work.

That was the end for Seong-il.
We now have a new pitcher.

WONKWANG UNIVERSITY'S PITCHER CHOI RYUN-GI

Ryun-gi, don't pitch balls.
Fight them head-on.

Yes, sir.

-Give them a good fight.
-Yes, sir.

On the mound
is the second pitcher of Wonkwang,

Choi Ryun-gi.

He's a southpaw
that can pitch a 140km fastball.

His strong suit is his slider.

Let's do this, Ryun-gi!

This is your time to shine!

Take back the momentum!

Chi Seok-hoon is in the box.

Chi Seok-hoon is quite influential today.

WITH THIS HIT,
I'LL BECOME A REGULAR ON THIS SHOW!

STRIKE

-Nice.
-This is it!

-Was that a fastball?
-Yes, sir.

HE SEEMS DOUBTFUL…

He throws the ball with his arms lower,
so his movement is…

RYUN-GI'S PITCHERS ARE HARD TO TIME

FOUL

He makes contact, but it's a foul.

In Ryun-gi's mind,

he's thinking he should give his all
to prevent another called game.

-But not many outs just yet.
-Right.

He should slowly begin to pitch outs,
starting with Seok-hoon.

But Chi Seok-hoon is on a roll today.

Seok-hoon, let's go!

An outside pitch. A strike.

He's struck out looking.

-Nice.
-An outside pitch. A strike.

He's struck out looking.

Chi Seok-hoon gets struck out.

That's right.

REGULAR ON THE SHOW GAUGE

Okay!

LET'S KEEP THE MOMENTUM!

This is great.

From Wonkwang's standpoint,

this is a valuable out for them.

Come here.

-Seok-hoon.
-Yes, sir!

-The batting just now.
-Yes, sir.

It's like you weren't even trying.

At least go for a swing.

-At least.
-Yes, sir.

-Got it?
-Yes, sir.

-Don't let him strike you out that easily.
-Yes, sir.

IF YOU ARE STRUCK OUT EASILY,
YOU'LL BE CAST OUT EASILY

Next up is Park Chan-hui.

He's at one for nothing today.

-Show us a home run.
-Another homer!

A brushback. It's a base on balls.

-Nice.
-Look at him throwing the bat.

The Monsters never had two-consecutive
wins through a called game.

I can see a called game today.

It's Keun-woo,
so we'll win in the seventh.

Next up is Jeong Keun-woo.

Wonkwang must feel pressured right now.

Keun-woo, finish this game up!

A double, please.

Come on, let's go home early today.

My house is far, you know.

A chance to crush his enemies.

MONSTERS 6 : 0 WONKWANG

He swings for the first pitch.

THIS IS BAD…

GLANCING

-That was a changeup.
-Your pelvis!

He did a full swing,
but that was a cutter.

AN AIR-HOME-RUN SWING

I needed to do better.

I was so scared
that Manager Kim would call me again.

He pushes it out!

A clean hit into the center-right.

-Yes!
-Good swing.

That's how you do it!

Keep going!

2ND BASERUNNER SPRINTS

Run!

KEEP RUNNING

The ball lands in the center-right.

The second baserunner comes home
without any resistance!

Go!

HE SPRINTS LIKE HE'S ON FIRE

Another score with this hit.
The score is seven to zero.

KEUN-WOO'S RBI DOUBLE

What a hit, Keun-woo.

Three more runs.

-I have a good feeling.
-Three hits left.

"Three hits left."

The score is seven to zero.

And two runners in scoring position.

Next up is Seo Dong-wook.

A hit can result in two more runs.

Yes, and if you look
at the current lineup,

we can see they are quite confident
they'll score two runs.

Darn it.

It's my turn already?

You can end this, Dae-ho.
Your final hit for a called game.

Although Choi Ryun-gi managed
to pitch one out,

he's having trouble
escaping this situation.

Right.

He's on the verge of losing.

A match against Seo Dong-wook.

It's about time you hit one!

Make them come home.

HE GROANS

Swings and misses, strikeout!

STRIKEOUT

Stop their rampage!

He sends him back to the dugout
with a high pitch.

Two outs.

SHAKING HIS HEAD

Next up is Lee Taek-keun.

Because they have two outs,

the runners will sprint as soon
as the hitter makes contact.

If that happens,

two runners may end up coming home
with a hit.

Lee Taek-keun plays a crucial role here.

Taek-keun V, let them come home.

-You had no hits today.
-No hits today.

You should improve yourself!

HE CHUCKLES…

What about you guys?

CRUSHES THEM WITH FACTS

LAUGHING

He's the one who said it.

EMBARRASSED 99%
IMPROVED 1%

Let them come home.

Let me see you pitch.

IMPROVE YOURSELF, SOO-CHANG

-Pitch, Soo-chang.
-Yes, sir.

DAMN IT 99%
IMPROVED 1%

Warm up with me, Won-sam.

Take off your sunglasses and get a grip.

-Not warming up?
-No.

PROTECTOR OF THE DUGOUT

I was cheering them on and…

I knew you had it coming.

You have to pitch
even if your shoulders dislocate.

The Monsters are going
for a back-to-back called game.

HE HITS!

-This is it!
-Nice!

Run!

It's a fly ball.

Left fielder goes for the catch.

He catches it for the final out.

I couldn't get the timing right.

I just couldn't.

Another big inning for the Monsters.

They scored four runs this inning,
making the score seven to zero.

Hold on.

Where is he?

Hong-ku, you go out to first.

-Hong-ku, first base.
-Okay.

-Are you done, Dae-ho?
-Yes.

Nice, Dae-ho. Good work today.

You should've played one more inning.

I really wanted to,
but Manager Kim insisted!

Then go out there.

WAIT…

Hong-ku, I wish you luck!

Go out there.

The Monsters won yesterday 12 to 2.

If Wonkwang loses today's match
without scoring any runs in a called game,

it will be an absolute humiliation.

You're right.

The game continues onto the sixth.

Oh Ju-won still takes the mound.

Oh Ju-won is a definite winning pitcher,

and he's going for a quality start.
He will be pitching to achieve that.

HE GROANS

He only threw 62 pitches.

I honestly wanted to stop pitching.

But in case Manager Kim thinks badly of me

and doesn't play me next game,

I gave it my all.

OH JU-WON IS EXHAUSTED

And the first baseman.

Lee Dae-ho's sincere request was heard.

Looking good, Hong-ku!

Lee Hong-ku didn't have a chance to play

since Manager Kim took over,

so he wants to be his best today.

HE MUST PROVE HIMSELF

First up is Kwak Gi-hun.

LEADOFF HITTER KWAK GI-HUN

He makes contact, but it's a foul.

JU-WON IS STARTING TO LOSE POWER

Nice ball!

Don't be such a baby!

Every pitch does seem like a toil for him.

-Let's advance!
-Let's do it!

Think after you advance!

MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

HE MUSTERS
ALL HIS REMAINING STRENGTH

He hits the breaking ball.

-This is definitely a hit.
-A hit.

-This is definitely a hit.
-In the front.

He hits the breaking ball.
Center and left fielder chase.

Left fielder goes for the catch
but drops the ball.

The hitter advances onto second
without a hitch.

-Leadoff hitter gets a double.
-Nice!

THIS WILL BEGIN OUR COMEBACK!

The outfielders are tired.
Their legs won't move.

Should I have played safely?

Darn it.

WHAT A BUMMER

DAE-EUN AND SOO-CHANG WARM UP

You go warm up too
around the eighth inning.

Around the eighth inning? Yes, sir.

THE BASEBALL GOD GETS THE BULLPEN GOING

I have to pitch with full force
until the end.

Next up is Lee Dong-gwan.

This is a chance for Wonkwang.

They don't want to let the Monsters
take another called game.

Right.

Soo-hyun, I'm near second.

-So you should cut him off.
-Yes, sir.

Let's continue this!

He hits the first pitch!

That's a hit!

He hits the first pitch!
Shortstop catches it.

A MARVELOUS DEFENSIVE POSITION

-One out.
-Okay.

Chi Seok-hoon gets the out.

Nice.

THANK YOU, SEOK-HOON

-Good positioning.
-Nice.

Gosh, that went too straight.

The runner is still on second.

Next up is the third hitter, Kim Da-un.

Kim Da-un is the pride of Wonkwang.

He's got good batting skills.

He needs to make sure
that the second baserunner comes home.

Da-un! This is your chance!

A runner on second with an out.

The ball bounced off!

To third!

The ball bounced off!

The runner advances to third.

-Okay.
-Nice.

Look how quick you are!

WHEN WILL THE BASEBALL GOD
SUBSTITUTE THE PITCHER?

I'm sorry.

Kwak Gi-hun occupies third base.

A sacrifice fly may be the play here.

A SACRIFICE FLY WOULD LEAD TO A RUN

Let's go, Kim Da-un!

ON THE OTHER HAND,
JU-WON IS REACHING HIS LIMIT

Ju-won risks losing a point.

THIS IS MY LAST BIT OF POWER

An outside pitch with a strike call.

Ju-won, nice ball!

Nice ball!

PITCH A CURVEBALL

READS THE SIGN

SIGNALS A CURVE

All right!

MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

A breaking ball. It comes in.

-Nice.
-Good ball.

Look at that control!

Although Ju-won lost much of his power,
he's a tactful player.

His control is great.

He precisely throws it
into each end of the zone.

This is why the hitter misses.

MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

Oh Ju-won didn't allow any runs
to be scored so far today.

Swings and misses, strikeout!

Swings and misses, strikeout!

I WON'T ALLOW A SINGLE RUN!

DARN…

GOOD JOB!

I knew it! One more hitter left!

You take care of everything by yourself!

You got this, Ju-won.

Just one more hitter!

I can't throw anymore, sir.

But you're pitching so well.

This game isn't going well for Wonkwang.

A runner on third with two outs.

Next up is Nam Gye-won.

Let's make something happen, please.

Wonkwang needs to score a run
so that the other players

can gain momentum.

If they keep failing to score in a chance,

the team spirit diminishes.

Try your best until the end!

Ju-won, focus! He's the last one.

The final hitter!

WILL HE BE ABLE
TO ANSWER TO THEIR EXPECTATIONS?

He hits the outside pitch.
It pops up very high.

But the center fielder, Lee Taek-keun,

is ready for the catch.

-Nice.
-Good job.

-Nice pitching!
-Nice pitching!

The starting pitcher, Oh Ju-won,

didn't allow a single run
against Wonkwang.

So reliable!

Reliable, indeed!

HIGH-FIVE FROM THE BASEBALL GOD

-Nice pitching, man.
-Good work.

I really can't take it anymore.

Ju-won, you are way too young to say that.

You can say that when you're at least 40.

Hong-ku!

OH JU-WON
DEJECTED 39-YEAR-OLD

Let's go out, Hong-ku.

TOP OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

Seong-hoon!

Tell Dae-ho to come to the coach.

Dae-ho, you're the first base coach.

I don't even have the stamina to stand,
but you want me to go?

WORK, ROOKIE, WORK!

Dae-ho is the new first base coach.

You can tell he's born to be one.

I didn't expect him to blend in
so well with the Monsters.

NOT THE MONSTERS,
BUT A REAL MONSTER ON 1ST BASE

Choi Ryun-gi takes the mound.

This is the seventh!

We can't give them more runs!

Three more runs would mean ten runs.

The first up is Lee Hong-ku.

LEE HONG-KU STARTS OFF THE INNING

This is his first time appearing
as a batter under Manager Kim.

He was waiting for this opportunity.

I was desperate.

I was desperate to prove myself
and show him my best.

He holds back his swing
for the high pitch.

DARN IT!

Good eye!

LET'S GO FOR A CALLED GAME!

Let's get a called game!

HONG-KU'S CHANCE TO BE
IN THE STARTING LINEUP WENT UP

A runner on first with no outs.

-No outs right now.
-Yes, sir.

-Don't let a line driver force you out.
-Okay.

Next up is Moon-ho,
who hit a triple last appearance.

Let's go for three more runs!

-Moon-ho.
-We want a called game!

Get on base.

WHAT WILL HE SHOW US THIS TIME?

Relax and throw!

MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

He pushes it out, but it's a foul.

He's quite disappointed.

SO CLOSE

SWING IT UPWARD…

Lee Hong-ku is on first with a walk.

How will Kim Moon-ho do here?

A PLAYER STILL IN THE BOX

MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

Kim Moon-ho makes contact!

Kim Moon-ho makes contact!

It's a hit into the left field.

NO EXTRA BATTING TRAINING NEEDED

A beautifully hit ball.

Today, Kim Moon-ho goes

-two for two!
-Nice batting!

I have to keep proving myself.

ENDLESS COMPETITION

You're the best!

You've changed! So much improvement!

Nice!

Everyone is competing with each other.

Let's keep going!

No outs, runners on first and second.

And Jung Eui-yoon is next at bat.

NEXT UP
UNCERTAIN KEY PLAYER, EUI-YOON

Please, just hit a home run.

Yes, hit one, Eui-yoon. Please.

Let's increase the out count!

One at a time!

Choi Ryun-gi must
strike Jung Eui-yoon out.

If he doesn't, he's in danger
of losing a lot of points.

Eui-yoon, you have to show something.

You've been too nice so far.

HE HITS!

He pulls it in.
It flies into the 5-6 hole.

WHAT'S WITH THOSE GUYS?

Stop.

The runner on second stops on third
after the sharp hit.

All three batters make it out in a row.

They only hit it
to areas without our fielders.

THIS IS CRAZY…

I'M GETTING THIRSTY…

SPIT

-What are you doing?
-I locked eyes with the camera.

How can you laugh at seven to zero,

no outs, and all bases loaded?

In the end,

the Monsters fight persistently
in the batter's box

and loaded all bases, no outs.

One big hit will
turn the difference into ten.

Batter seven, Choi Soo-hyun is next.

Bring them all in.

There will be a lot of traffic.
Let's leave early.

We no longer hear much support
from Wonkwang's dugout.

-They are feeling down.
-Yes.

There's a possibility
of having the game called twice in a row

against their loss.

There is high tension
among Wonkwang's fielders.

MONSTERS 7 : 0 WONKWANG

On the other hand, the Monsters made clear
that they are the best team.

That is why they must
seize a chance like this.

HE HITS!

He pushes it out.
The third baseman can't catch it.

THE BALL FLIES OUT
THROUGH THE 3RD BASE

GOOD JOB!

The runner on third scores.

-Third!
-Third!

Go.

The runner on second
runs through third, returns home.

Don't go.

The runner on third scores.

The runner on second
runs through third and returns home.

YES! THAT WAS INSANE!

It's now nine to zero.

Only one point left to go
until the Monsters win

when the game is called.

Nice batting.

Okay, one more point to go.

One more point to go!

That was insane!

My gosh. Hong-ku, nice.

Did I make the right move?

Okay.

Hey, Kim Moon-ho.

-Hong-ku.
-Nice.

WE ARE STRONG!
EVEN SUBSTITUTED PLAYERS DO IT

After the team was put in a crisis,

the general manager recruited
two more people,

then the team became perfect.

No outs, runners on first and second.

And batter eight, Chi Seok-hoon.

I just need to cross over one more crisis.

I needed to hit one more and stay focused.

Seok-hoon, you need to end this.

I'm feeling anxious too.

WHAT IF HE DOES WELL?

Seok-hoon, it's your chance!

TWO GOALS, ONE HIT

WILL HIS DREAM OF BECOMING
A REGULAR MEMBER COME TRUE?

Darn it.

Hey. Seok-hoon.

-Darn it.
-Chi Seok-hoon's hit. A ground ball.

From the second base, to the first.

Out from first base.

We had one point to go.
What are you doing?

HIS DREAM IS SHATTERED
ALONG WITH HIS BAT

THE BASEBALL GOD'S GAZE WAVERS

THEY ARE MADE SPEECHLESS

You're awesome, Seok-hoon.

FEELING AT EASE

We just need one more point.

TRUDGING

UNEMPLOYED

Hey.

YOU'VE DONE WELL

Seok-hoon hits into a double play,
two outs.

But the runner is on third.

There's one out to go,
and Park Chan-hui is at bat.

Chan-hui, let's end it.

When the runner on third comes in,
the difference is ten.

Yes, and Park Chan-hui hit
his first home run yesterday.

He's a different kind of batter.

That is why the pitcher must remain calm.

Choi Ryun-gi.

HE HITS!

He pulls it in. The third baseman catches.

He throws to the first.

And the third out on first base.

We earned two extra points in this inning.
The score is nine to zero.

The Monsters need one more point
until the game is called to victory.

If only Seok-hoon hit one for the team…

I'm sorry.

COME HERE

-Keep the hand straight.
-Okay.

Keep it straight
until the moment you throw it.

THIS IS FRUSTRATING

Here.

Keep it there.

Then it must leave like this.

But your pitch drops here.

It drops. That's why it doesn't spin.

I see.

Good.

SHIM SOO-CHANG, A SLOW STUDENT
PRO PLAYER FOR 16 YEARS

Grab someone and play catch.

-Sorry?
-Grab someone and play catch.

Go and practice.

THE BASEBALL GOD IS
WORRIED ABOUT SOO-CHANG'S SLUMP

BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

The Monsters send Rhee Dae-eun out

to make sure they don't lose
a single point to Wonkwang.

You might end up pitching
in every single game, right?

My shoulders are stiff
from pitching yesterday,

but I didn't want to betray his faith.

I wanted to pitch well.

Rhee Dae-eun is back?

THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS…

The Monsters show no mercy.

Two games called in a row.

The bottom of the seventh is important
if they do not wish

to become the first sacrifice.

The leadoff batter is Bae Seong-ryeol.

Let's go out there!

-They must feel a bit anxious.
-Right.

They should stay strong
and make short advancements.

Wonkwang University plays
against the merciless CK Monsters.

He hits the first pitch. A foul.

It's not easy to hit
Rhee Dae-eun's pitches in the center.

That was 136km/h.

TREMBLING…

It flies up high.

It's a high fly.

The right fielder moves and catches.

Good!

GOOD WORK

Rhee Dae-eun can pitch at ease

when he's out here without runners.

-One out!
-Nice ball.

Next up, Seo Bo-gyeom.

This is Rhee Dae-eun, who has
the best stuff on the team right now.

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

One runner gets on base.

-He's been hitting well.
-Yes, he keeps making hits.

I won't have to play, right?

-Who knows?
-Why?

No one knows who'll go out.

-I was told to move too.
-I was told to practice.

-Pitching? Yes, you said that.
-Yes.

One out, a runner on first.

Timeout. Pinch hitter.

He's bringing out a pinch hitter.

The pinch hitter is Jung Sang-won.

Let's make it out there, Sang-won!

He makes strong swings,

and he plays often as a pinch hitter.

I'm sure the manager wants
to use this chance to score.

Wonkwang needs to make use of this chance

when they have a runner out.

HE HITS!

He hits with the tip of the bat.

It doesn't fly far.
Left fielder, Jung Eui-yoon.

He catches. Two outs.

Only one out left.

THUD!

NEXT AT BAT, SEO U-JIN

It flies high on the left.

The left fielder runs and catches.

THEY COULD NOT SCORE A POINT

Seo U-jin goes out after one pitch.

Wonkwang is shot down
despite their wish to score.

One more point!

-Let's score one more!
-One more point!

-Okay.
-Great work.

WILL THE MONSTERS WIN 2 TIMES
IN A ROW THROUGH A CALLED GAME?

I'm starting to feel bad for Wonkwang.

-You feel bad?
-Yes.

-Keep it up!
-One more point!

Let's get one more point.

-Let's go.
-Keun-woo, let's go.

TOP OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

Yeom U-hyeon is on the mound.

This is their third pitcher

after the starting pitcher,
Seo Seong-il, and Choi Ryun-gi.

This is Yeom U-hyeon.

CK Monsters will
begin batting from Jeong Keun-woo.

This is an important inning.

If Yeom U-hyeon loses a point now,

the game may end in the eighth,

losing two in a row as a called game.

Yes, Wonkwang isn't doing well
two games in a row,

so it must be stressful.

But they can show what they can do now.

They can't lose a point
to make sure the game isn't called.

-Make no regrets.
-Okay.

Let's keep it going until the end.

-Okay.
-Let's go!

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

No matter what happens,
we cannot have the game called.

HE HITS!

-He hits the first pitch.
-It bounced.

The shortstop steps back. First.

Out on first base.

THAT WAS EASY, 1 OUT

THAT WAS NEAT

THINKING…

IT LOOKS LIKE KEUN-WOO IS IN PAIN

-What's wrong?
-The middle.

-The prostate.
-The prostate?

You can take some medicine.

DOESN'T CARE

HE KNOWS THE EXCUSE IS ABSURD

Onto batter two, Seo Dong-wook.

He has no hits after four at-bats.

Dong-wook only has one day to live.

As soon as I hit,
I looked at the bench too.

-I should've hit a bunt.
-You hit the first pitch again?

(NODS)

He had three hits yesterday,
but his bat is frozen today.

-Here it goes again.
-First pitch!

He hits the high pitch.

Right!

The right fielder.

He waits and catches. Two outs.

DONG-WOOK HAS 0 HITS, 5 AT-BATS

YOU BETTER SWING RIGHT

Yes, sir.

I closed my eyes.

We can't call the game
because of one point.

THE BATTERS FROZE UP

We'll have to play to the ninth.

MOVING AWAY FROM A CALLED GAME

Yeom U-hyeon only has one out left.

Lee Taek-keun is next at bat.

He has four balls, no hits.

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

What will Lee Taek-keun hit
after two outs?

Swing.

Come on.

-Good!
-Nice ball.

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

No runners, two outs.

Lee Taek-keun swings hard.

-He got caught up.
-Yes.

TAEK-KEUN CONTINUOUSLY SWINGS AND MISSES

Did he drink a lot last night?

He keeps missing.

He didn't drink.

He keeps missing all day.

I wasn't in good condition
when I got in the batter's box.

Lee Taek-keun hasn't hit a home run yet.

In times like these,
he must remain calm and go out.

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

The count is against Lee.

Far on the outside. One ball, two strikes.

He stood without budging.

NODS

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

It drops. Two balls, two strikes.

It doesn't come into the zone.

This persistent battle continues.

You have sharp eyes!

The count is full.
Three balls, two strikes.

Don't get anxious. Let's stop him.

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

He hits it with the inside. Foul.

The pain in his hand must be intense.

Good! You're persistent!

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

Another full count battle continues.

He cuts off.

Lee Taek-keun won't lose this easily.

Yeom U-hyeon knows
why he must strike him out.

Lee Taek-keun doesn't want to lose either.

Of course not.

Call the game!

-Nice ball!
-Strikeout looking!

Get it in the zone!

HOW WILL THIS PERSISTENT BATTLE END?

In the end, he goes out with four balls.

Nice! Nice catch!

Good job!

That was close.

Nice catch!

Good! You're very persistent!

IN THE END, HE WALKS

The pain is insane.

Stop hitting it in the back.

You keep hitting in the back.

Two outs!

Four balls after a favorable count
against Lee Taek-keun.

The problem is this.

-The next batter is Lee Hong-ku.
-You're right.

This is Lee Hong-ku,
who wants to prove himself as a batter.

Yes.

Lee Hong-ku is
also a player who makes long hits.

HE MUST PROVE HIMSELF

Let's hit one and end it here.

-Hong-ku, hit it.
-Let's end this.

I was desperate too.

I thought it was hit it or die.

Two outs, a runner on first.

Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

The ball goes low, outside.

Nice!

Good!

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

A low pitch, two balls.

DON'T BE LIKE THIS

It's tough to fight for the count.

HE SUDDENLY CAN'T THROW STRIKES

He must get Lee Hong-ku.

No matter what the pitcher throws,

it has to be a high pitch into the zone.

Yes.

THE TIMING IS NOW

Lee Hong-ku waits for that pitch.

CK Monsters have one point to go.

ONE POINT UNTIL A CALLED GAME

Hong-ku.

-Throw it!
-Let's stop them here!

MONSTERS 9 : 0 WONKWANG

HE HITS WITH A BIG SWING!

It's flying out.

He pushes it out.

To the left. Left fielder runs.

It drops within the left line.

-Run!
-Run home!

Run!

TAEK-KEUN SPRINTS

Run!

Home!

-Run!
-Go!

He just left third base!

He continues to run!

And Lee Taek-keun returns home!

-Okay!
-Ten to zero!

Again, CK Monsters create
a difference of two digits today.

THAT'S THE REQUIREMENT
TO CALL THE GAME

-That was a nice hit.
-Sorry?

-It was a good hit.
-You run so well!

-You run so well, Taek-keun.
-Nice!

PANTING…

-It's the least I can do.
-Good run!

SMILE

-Good.
-Nice run.

Nice running.

You all became much faster.

Yes, you need to run faster.

IT WAS AUTOMATIC…

Then Wonkwang University will suffer

from two consecutive losses
as called games.

And the Monsters made this possible.

It's even more meaningful
because Lee Hong-ku made this.

-You're right.
-What did Lee Taek-keun do?

He got four balls and ran home.

This team is quite frightening.

The team went through changes
with just a few more matches left,

so we needed to show what we can do
to the opposing team.

We did that through this score.

We had only one hit after two outs
in this inning.

Once again, we have a runner
in a scoring position.

Two outs, a runner on second.

Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

Hit a double for three hits!

Moon-ho, don't let your guard down!
One more!

ON HIS GUARD, HE HITS!

It flies in front of the shortstop.

Three outs.

Kim Moon-ho goes out after a short drive.
Ten to zero.

Will the Monsters call the game and win
two times in a row?

The bottom of the eighth.

CHUCKLING

We ended up making it happen.

So this is real?

Calling two games in a row and winning?

We only have one new player, right?

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME,

THE DUGOUT WAS DISPIRITED

EYES SHAKING
EVEN THE DIRECTOR FELT AWKWARD

That's the energy
Manager Kim and I brought!

Who cares about the team dinner?

The director said we always lose
after we have a team dinner.

That's nonsense.

-That's not important.
-It doesn't matter to me.

THE BASEBALL GOD DESTROYS JINXES

Let's go, Shim Soo-chang!

Who? Not Soo-chang, right?

It'll be Dae-eun, right?

Yes.

Manager Kim is merciless.

Go out.

Dae-eun, go!

BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 10 : 0 WONKWANG

Rhee Dae-eun pitched in the last inning.

Once again, Manager Kim Sung-keun
wants him on the mound.

If you look at the bullpen,

Song Seung-jun is warming up too.

Manager Kim Sung-keun
won't show mercy for Wonkwang.

He's determined to make the Monsters
call the game twice in a row.

He wants to play a perfect game
and win against the opponent.

-Yes.
-The manager wants to show that

and change the team quickly.

That's what he wants.

WE ALWAYS PLAY
WITH EVERYTHING WE GOT!

Let's do our best until the last batter.

Let's go!

Until the last batter.

-Focus! One, two, three!
-Hey!

Pinch hitter, Kwon Sang-hyeok is
preparing to be the leadoff hitter.

-Focus!
-Yes, 45.

Dae-eun, stop them here.
We got no pitchers.

The tip of the bat. Foul.

How did he pitch like that?

-It went like this.
-Yes, like this.

As Wonkwang University noticed,

Rhee Dae-eun is a perfect pitcher.

So instead of waiting,

they need to swing aggressively.

Rhee Dae-eun throws good sinkers,

so I wonder how it'll turn out.

Wonkwang's sophomore, Kwon Sang-hyeok.

Another foul.

Nice ball.

Forkball?

He holds it lightly,

but the tip went in as a sinker,
so the timing is off.

DAE-EUN TAKES HIS TIMING
WITH A SINKER

This is why Rhee Dae-eun is

showing a high-quality performance.

As I play the game,
I sometimes become lax.

But Manager Kim came
and helped me keep my eyes peeled.

WITH HIS EYES PEELED, HE HITS!

He hits the dropping pitch.

Second baseman catches.

Jeong Keun-woo to first.

-Out on the first. One out.
-Okay!

NICE TENSION!

Another called game?

THIS ISN'T GOOD…

His groins are swollen.

His prostate.

NERVOUS PROSTATE
I'M NERVOUS TOO

We can win three times in a row

and could call the game
twice in a row for the first time.

Two outs to go.

NEXT AT BAT
KWAK GI-HUN, WHO HAS HIT A DOUBLE

-Get out there, Gi-hun!
-Come on!

Good, Dae-eun!

Two more to go!

MONSTERS 10 : 0 WONKWANG

HE HITS!

It's a grounder.

Kwak Gi-hun is put out on the base.
Two outs.

ONLY ONE LEFT UNTIL IT'S CALLED

-That was fast.
-Rhee Dae-eun has one out left.

-He's fast.
-Seung-jun.

And Captain Park Yong-taek

walks out on the field.

Pitcher Song Seung-jun.

SUBSTITUTE TO PITCHER SONG SEUNG-JUN!

Song Seung-jun will get
the last out count.

The Monsters send Song Seung-jun
on the mound to seal their victory.

Manager Kim Sung-keun plays a tough move.

The Monsters puts in everything
as they play against Wonkwang.

They do not go easy
or let their guard down.

The Monster wishes to turn this game

into a merciless one.

-Yes.
-Good job.

Good job, Rhee Dae-eun!

Dae-eun.

Let's do our best until the end.

-Min!
-Min, you got this!

Min, hit the first pitch!

Play without any regrets!

Kang Min, the pinch hitter.

Song Seung-jun,
make this a perfect inning!

Let's go!

Min, hit it with confidence!

-Kang Min!
-Let's go!

Ten to zero.

Only one out left until the Monsters take
their complete victory.

-Kang Min, let's go!
-Kang Min, let's go!

Let's do this, Min!

STRIKE

WAS THAT THE NIAGARA FALLS?

Let's get ready to go out. Yes.

MONSTERS 10 : 0 WONKWANG

One out left.
It's all up to Song Seung-jun.

First pitch, strike.

HE HITS!

The ball flies up.

The shortstop runs.

And he spots the dropping area.

Three outs.

-Nice!
-Great job!

ANOTHER CALLED GAME!

Yesterday, perfection.
And today, again, perfection.

This is unbelievable.

For the first time,

CK Monsters win with called games
twice in a row.

After two victories,

I believe Manager Kim Sung-keun's
message is clear.

"This is what you can do,

so you must play perfectly
in the remaining few games too."

This is his silent message.

I believe we will win
every single remaining game

and show perfection.

Whenever I'm at a ballpark,

it doesn't matter if it's 10 or 20 hours.

It's fun for me.

We're playing ball.

This was a documentary-like variety show,
but it's no longer a variety show.

Manager Kim Sung-keun's CK Monsters
are the real deal.

Although we lost,

I believe we have gained a lot
for the year to come through this game,

so it was great.

-Wonkwang University.
-CK Monsters.

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

CK MONSTERS, WONKWANG UNIVERSITY

THE TEAM WAS PERFECT

An amazing balance
of pitchers and batters.

Gunsan is great.

Our second home park after Songdo?

I prayed that we'll win.

CALLED THE GAMES IN A ROW
WALKING IN WITH LIGHT STEPS

We don't have any jinxes.

One more team dinner!

-Great game, sir.
-Good game.

I could truly see how strong this team is
through this game.

CK Monsters, you played against
the champion team of the college league

and called two games in a row to victory!

This is perfection.

That's awesome.

IT WAS SO AWESOME

The players who underwent
extra batting training before the match

began to hit everything
as if this was staged.

The commentators were in shock too.

Manager Kim, you're amazing.

NODS

SMILES

HE'S WAY TOO CALM

He agrees.

-Are you his spokesperson?
-Yes.

-I knew they could do it.
-Right.

But I'm starting to see
how their talents are brought out.

That was the most fun part.

EVERYONE'S TALENT SHOWED

We must win all four remaining games.

Even if we win just one,
you'll do this next year.

WE WON'T BE CANCELED

-Yes.
-He knows the system very well.

That's the biggest goal.

EXTRA BATTING TRAINING WILL GO ON

Taek-keun, what do you reckon has changed?

Everything has changed for the fielders.

They're all competitive.

WE MUST SURVIVE
SIMPLY PLAYING FOR SURVIVAL

The two pinch hitters,
Hong-ku and Moon-ho, are sitting together.

My attitude changed today.

I had forgotten about this desperation,
but it all came back.

1 ADMISSION FOR EXTRA BATTING TRAINING

I thought I may not get to play
if I do not hit well,

so I stayed focused

in every at-bat,
and it turned into a great result.

-I see. Chi Seok-hoon?
-Yes?

What has changed?

Are you…

VERY FLUSTERED

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?

LOOK AT HIS FACE

-Your number changed.
-Your number.

Seok-hoon is the same, isn't he?

WELL…

GOODBYE, DREAMS OF BECOMING
A REGULAR MEMBER…

All right. Let me announce the MVP.

ANNOUNCING THE MVP

WILL IT BE JU-WON,
WHO MADE A QUALITY START?

OR YONG-TAEK, WHO SCORED
AND MADE A TIMELY HIT?

OR WITH 2 HITS AND 2 ERAS,
HIS FAVORITE PUPIL, KEUN-WOO?

It was a unanimous decision.

IT WAS DECIDED UNANIMOUSLY

-I knew it.
-He deserves it.

TODAY'S MVP DESERVES IT

The manager said it like this.

"It's hands down Oh Ju-won!"

TODAY'S MVP, OH JU-WON!

Thank you!

GREAT, STARTING PITCHER

-Oh Ju-won!
-Oh Ju-won!

Nice pitching.

Will he lose one doll?

Will he? Who will it go to?

Will you take one today?

How did you know?

RESPONDING TO SURVIVE

Thank you.

-I couldn't take it even if I wanted to.
-Thank you.

Two stars.

GETS THE MVP NECKLACE

Thank you.

Okay. Good job.

Now, Manager Kim wants to give

the flowers he got
for his appointment ceremony

to the MVP.

WAIT, MANAGER KIM,
WHAT ABOUT ME, YESTERDAY'S MVP?

This is only for today.

-You didn't give it to me yesterday.
-Congrats.

SO JEALOUS

Gosh, I'm jealous.

After pitching badly
against Inha University,

I was rather distressed.

I wanted to pitch well after that day.

That's why I keep showing such results.

After we called two games in a row,

I realized how amazing Manager Kim is

as I studied other team members.

Lastly, we finally broke
the team dinner jinx.

I'm glad we did that.

Hey, nice. Nice speech.

-Thank you.
-Nice.

After six innings?

I'm not as good as you are.

Let me tell you the schedule
for our next game.

Next week, we'll play here
against Hanil University,

another two games in a row.

If you win just one of the two games,

the rest of the games don't matter.

You would have reached
a win percentage of .700.

SO WE'LL PLAY NEXT YEAR TOO?

Yong-geom is the happiest.

YES, I SURVIVED

I haven't saved much up.

WHAT A RELIEF

Manager Kim, tell us
a resolution for the next game.

-I haven't thought about it.
-Not yet?

I'm still thinking.

Then Dae-ho, please do it.

CONFUSED DAE-HO

IT'S FUN TO SEE
WHERE THE BOMB ENDS UP

Well, I came yesterday
and played two games.

We were all good players,
so it was easy to play.

I hear Hanil University had
a called game against Dong-eui.

But that's Dong-eui.

We're CK Monsters,

so I know we'll win easily.

REASSURING

His confidence is admirable.

Okay, let's gather around and wrap up.

Things became simpler.

SHORTER WITH THE NEW MANAGER

-I love it.
-It's great.

This is a good closing.

THIS IS GOOD

We used to do it for an hour.

-An hour?
-Yes.

Manager Kim, let me ask you this.

THINGS DON'T SEEM RIGHT TODAY…

Man, what are you doing?

Darn it.

The ball pulls the fielders in.

HANIL UNIVERSITY VICIOUSLY CORNERS THEM

I knew it. It didn't feel right.

THE STRONGEST OPPONENT YET

-Go!
-He throws to the second baseman.

He slides into the second.

It's cut off once again.

He gets on the base first.

FULL OF VIGOR

THEY GOT THE BEST OF US

It hit the helmet.

THE MONSTERS CONTINUOUSLY MAKE MISTAKES

AS MANAGER KIM SAID,
THINK OF A MISS AS DEATH

HOW WILL THIS FIERCE BATTLE END?

Right here in Gunsan Baseball Stadium,
