THAT WE CAN BEAT ANY TEAM

THE INCONCEIVABLE HAPPENS

What is he doing?

I HAVE A BAD FEELING

He hits. Toward shortstop.



He catches it. From second to first.

CARELESSNESS BEGETS DEFEAT

He makes contact into the 5-6 hole!

HANIL UNIVERSITY ATTACKS
THE WEAK POINT

STOP FOOLING AROUND

LOSING IS EMBARRASSING

Only one out left.

It's two and two. Kim Moon-ho.

STRIKEOUT

The game is over.

IN THE END,

THE MONSTERS FACE DEFEAT

WE NEVER EXPECTED TO LOSE TODAY

OUR PRIDE IS HURT



THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

NOBODY IS IN A GOOD MOOD

WHEN THEY LOSE A GAME

TOMORROW IS THE MATCH

NO MATTER WHAT

WE MUST WIN

THE SHOWDOWN HAS ARRIVED
AFTER A SHOCKING DEFEAT

GUNSAN
WOLMYEONG BASEBALL STADIUM

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Can you do it today?

Yes, I have to.

Right.

THEY WARM UP AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE
TO GET REVENGE

Hee-kwan, you're getting ready
to pitch at last.

Getting ready to sally.

Two hundred and thirty lives
depend on you.

-I'll bite the bullet and pitch.
-Right.

-Today's the final.
-Right.

I took a herbal medicine pill for today.

I hope I can go home happy.

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO LEAVE WITH A SMILE?

MEANWHILE, AT THE MANAGER'S OFFICE

All right.

RUMMAGING

THE MANAGER IS CHANGING SHOES
AS SOON AS HE ARRIVES

WHY IS HE CHANGING SHOES ALREADY?

Do you have any jinx after a defeat?

I change shoes when I lose.

I won't wear these for a while.

EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DIFFERENT
FROM THE DAY OF DEFEAT

-Hey.
-Did you have a good sleep?

-Your jacket is different.
-Yes.

HEY, YOU TOO?

I threw it away.

SATISFIED

What do you think will happen?

-Today?
-Yes.

I kept calculating
how we'll have a .700 winning percentage.

Yes.

-I thought my calculator was broken.
-I see.

LAUGHING

Losing by one point
is a manager's mistake.

-Okay.
-Because it was by one point.

THE MONSTERS LOST
THE PREVIOUS GAME 4 TO 3

I thought we'd turn the tables around
in the ninth inning.

Everyone in the world
probably thought that.

It's 20 wins and 7 losses.
We had 27 games.

-Yes.
-If we win one game,

we can continue this show
with the same staff next year.

It's bad luck to talk about it
in the morning.

HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT JINXES

Everyone here knows that.

WHY BRING IT UP WHEN WE ALL KNOW IT?

We must win.

NO OTHER CHOICE

That's all.

Should they warm up?

I won't watch them today. It's bad luck.

EVERYTHING MUST BE
DIFFERENT FROM YESTERDAY

HIS FACE IS SMILING
BUT THE MANAGER HIMSELF IS THE JINX

Do you have anything to tell
the players in the locker room?

I won't because we lost yesterday.

STERN

Even if I don't say anything,

I can tell they're already determined.

FULL OF FAITH

Number 33.

-Yong-taek.
-Yong-taek.

I don't need a lot of balls. Why so many?

PICKING BALLS UP

This isn't enough. Give me that.

LAUGHING…

Sir, throw it here, please.

It's the pitcher's choice.
Batter has no say in this.

ONE HIGH

ONE LOW

AGAIN, ONE HIGH, ONE LOW

THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
OF EXTRA BATTING TRAINING IS INCREASED

That's it.

SIGH…

You're 45 years old.
Why are you out of breath?

THE 80-YEAR-OLD MAN IS CURIOUS

NEVER MIND
CONTROL YOUR BREATHING AND HIT!

What is he doing?

FUSS

HILARIOUS

Jeong Keun-woo!

COME HERE

STARING

Come quickly.

REFUSING TO BOARD

He won't come, sir.

I didn't call him.

ONLY YOU NEED TO DO WELL

Again.

Good.

HE CAN'T GET OUT
OF EXTRA BATTING TRAINING…

I got it.

Okay.

YOU MAY GO NOW!

PANTING…

LAUGHING…

LOOKING FOR THE NEXT TARGET

Hey.

Coach.

You bunted yesterday, didn't you?

Yes, sir.

THE BASEBALL GOD ORDERED A BUNT

BUT SEOK-HOON'S SMALL HIT WAS…

OUT

THE PLAN FAILED MISERABLY

Batting like this results in a fly ball.

-Yes, sir.
-Got it?

-Do you play billiards?
-No, sir.

-No?
-No.

What are you good at?

THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?

Hit like that.

LET'S MAKE YOU GOOD AT SOMETHING

Here.

NOT HAPPY

Again.

No.

Swing this way.

CREAKING

Do I hold it like this, sir?

Yes.

You can't be a coach at this rate.

THAT'S OKAY
I'LL MAKE YOU PRACTICE UNTIL YOU CAN

All right. With your right hand.

-Go.
-Yes, sir.

EXTRA BUNTING TRAINING IS FINALLY OVER…

Okay. Thanks.

Where did he go?

I'M STILL NOT DONE

How old are you?

I'm 33 years old, sir.

What have you been doing
during all that time?

-Pardon?
-Why did you gain so much weight?

So all you did was eat and sleep.

ATTACKING WITH FACTS

LET'S LOSE WEIGHT, HONG-KU
EXTRA BATTING TRAINING EXPRESS DEPARTS

AT BREAKNECK SPEED

Yes.

Here.

EXTRA BATTING TRAINING EXPRESS
DOESN'T STOP

Do I hit fast, sir?

YES, AS IT COMES

JUST HIT IT!

From here. In front of your leg.

That's it.

BECKONING

Yes, sir.

ANYONE IS A TARGET
FOR EXTRA BATTING TRAINING

Yes, this is it.

-Don't go like this.
-Yes, sir.

-Okay. Dismissed.
-Thank you, sir.

Seo Dong-wook.

ANYONE ELSE?

Show me

how you hammer a nail.

Show me.

Suppose there is a nail here.

Hit like this.

Do it like this.

Go like this.

Do it like this.

THE TRAINING ENDS WITH A MAGIC SPELL

Like this.

Move your wrist more softly.

Move it like that.

LOCKER ROOM AFTER WARM-UP

Today's the last game.

I really want to win today.

If we lose today…

WE MAY NOT HAVE
A .700 WINNING PERCENTAGE

I'm anxious.

It's nerve-wracking.

-We can't lose today.
-We can't.

THIS GAME IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN EVER

THE MANAGER IS HERE

HABITUAL NERVOUSNESS

This is the last game in Gunsan.

Let's go out on the field happily.

-Okay?
-Yes, sir.

You read it. I read it yesterday.
It was bad luck.

Jinx.

HE'S OBSESSED WITH JINXES

Jinx.

Yes, sir.

-Starting pitcher Oh Ju-won.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter one. Second base Jeong Keun-woo.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter two. Center fielder Lee Taek-keun.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter three. First base Lee Dae-ho.
-Yes, sir.

DAE-HO ISN'T THE 4TH HITTER
FOR THE 1ST TIME

Yes, sir.

BATTER 3?

LEE DAE-HO?

The manager makes the order.

He wants me to be the third hitter.

Batter four. DH.

WHO'S THE NEW 4TH HITTER?

Batter four. DH Jeong Seong-hoon.

Pardon?

Batter four. DH Jeong Seong-hoon.

EVERYONE IS SURPRISED

Yes, sir.

THEIR EYES MEET

YES, SIR!

Lee Dae-ho is
the Cleanup Hitter of Joseon.

I don't know why the manager
made me the fourth hitter.

It did put pressure on me.

-Batter five. Right fielder Seo Dong-wook.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter six. Left fielder Kim Moon-ho.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter seven. Third base Choi Soo-hyun.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter eight. Catcher Park Chan-hui.
-Yes, sir.

-Batter nine. Shortstop Chi Seok-hoon.
-Yes, sir.

That's all. Let's do well.

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

LET'S DO WELL!

That was really short.

CONCISE AS USUAL

Did you see him wearing different shoes?

-What?
-Yes.

He's wearing the shoes from the first day.

Yesterday, he wore those.

-The blue ones.
-Blue shoes.

Baseball players are all the same.

WILL HIS JINX LEAD TO WINNING?

The Monsters who are desperate to win
are getting ready

for their last game in Gunsan.

Hello, everyone.

You're watching A Clean Sweep,

with a match between CK Monsters
versus Hanil University.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with me.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Yesterday, CK Monsters
had their seventh loss.

It was more shocking
than any other games we lost.

Yes. Because of yesterday's game,

today will be difficult to get through.

Right.

For Manager Kim Sung-keun,
today's game will be much harder

than yesterday's game.

Because the number of pitchers
that can play is limited.

Yes, that's why

we need to watch the starting pitcher,
Oh Ju-won, very carefully.

-We have three games left.
-Yes.

We need to win at least one of them,
and the opponent teams are strong.

So we must win today's game.
We're feeling a lot of pressure.

-Right.
-Today's like the final match.

-Right.
-Yes.

We're here to win.

We'll win two games in a row

to make them come find us again next year.

We have to get back at them
for yesterday's game.

We'll win.

There's only one thing to do.

We have to win.

It's the second war.

If we win today, we can have Season Two.

I hope we'll win today.

Let's do this.

Make sure to check the signs.

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

Let's go.

-All right.
-Let's go.

-CK Monsters.
-Good energy.

Let's focus harder than yesterday
and win two games in a row.

-Okay?
-Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Let's win!

OUR VICTORY WILL CONTINUE

Hanil's defensive positions.

Outfielders.
Hong In-taek, Choi Yun-ho, Im Jae-min.

Infielders. Jeon Gwang-jin, Park Se-jong,
Park Ji-seong, Lee Tae-gyeong.

Today's starting catcher is Kim Bo-seong.

Starting pitcher is Lee Gang-min.

CK Monsters' batting order.

Batter one, Jeong Keun-woo.
Two, Lee Taek-keun.

Today Lee Dae-ho is batter three.

Four, Jeong Seong-hoon.
Five, Seo Dong-wook.

Six, Kim Moon-ho. Seven, Choi Soo-hyun.

Eight, Park Chan-hui. Nine, Chi Seok-hoon.

Hanil University's starting pitcher today

is Lee Gang-min.

He throws around 130km/h fastballs.

He throws splitters, changeups,
sliders, and curve balls.

He throws various pitches.

Who is this?

He's much better
than yesterday's pitchers.

-Really?
-He's the best.

-He's actually better for us.
-He's the ace.

I'll stand close to the batter's box.

I'll get on base,
even if through a hit-by-pitch.

Today's game is really important
to have a .700 winning percentage.

If we win today,

we can secure a .700 winning percentage.

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

TOP OF THE 1ST INNING
MONSTERS 0 : 0 HANIL

-Let's start from the first inning.
-Let's go!

Let's go!

This game is more nerve-wracking
than any other game.

Whoever pitches today, I'll crush him.

-Ball.
-The first pitch is far.

Jeong Keun-woo held back
on the outside ball.

The Monsters have to tire the pitchers out

by making them throw
as many balls as possible.

No need to be rushed.

It's high. Two balls.

Let's get on base!

-Thank you.
-Good eye!

SURPRISE BUNT?

He withdraws the bat.
Very close to the batter.

Three balls.

Gang-min, it's too far out. Bring it in.

Gang-min hasn't thrown

any strikes against Keun-woo.

Gang-min, take it slow.

All three pitches were balls.

One more.

It's high.

KEUN-WOO GETS ON BASE

-Good throw.
-Nice!

All of you are dead meat.

We need to score to lighten up the mood.

That's right.

Leadoff hitter got on base on balls.

No outs, a runner on first.

Now Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

The good hitters are placed first

-to go hard on them from the start.
-Right.

It comes in very close to the hitter.

HE ALMOST GOT HIT

-Don't dodge!
-Get hit!

-Get hit.
-Sacrifice your shoulder.

GETTING ON BASE TAKES PRIORITY

It feels like
an international baseball match.

-Right.
-They're telling him to be hit by pitch

if the ball comes in close.

Don't dodge.

The dugout is determined
to get a runner on base.

A brushback.

Another far one.

-Yes!
-Okay!

Ball.

-Good!
-Come on!

He won't hit far.

Finish in the first inning.

It's a bunting game today.

This is to watch a pitch

and agitate the pitcher.

But he can't throw a strike.

What?

GOING MAD

Two consecutive base-on-balls.

Starter Lee Gang-min is agitated.

I should keep doing this today.

Hello.

Even though it's embarrassing.

After the first defeat,

the Monsters got a strong desire
to take revenge.

It's no outs,
runners on first and second bases.

Let's get on third base.

Today, Manager Kim placed

Lee Dae-ho as the third hitter.

We always thought of him
as the fourth hitter,

but he's batter three today.

Yes, let's go easy.
Dae-ho, hit a home run.

You're scared, aren't you?

CK Monsters have the first, second,
and third big hitters consecutively.

-Isn't it scary?
-Yes.

Batter four is the genius hitter,
Jeong Seong-hoon.

So this lineup is like
the national team's.

It really is.

Infielders.

The ball is fast, so catch and go slowly.

Infielders, slowly.

NO OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND

Let's go and score.

Dae-ho, hit it.

Everyone is expecting a home run.

So I want to help the team
by hitting a home run.

Okay.

-Lee Dae-ho, home run!
-Lee Dae-ho, home run!

The pitcher catches
the outside ground ball.

-Go!
-Two!

The pitcher catches
the outside ground ball.

-Two!
-Second base first.

Thrown to first base. Double play.

LEE DAE-HO'S DOUBLE PLAY

Nice.

NICE DOUBLE PLAY

GROAN…

THE DUGOUT BECOMES FRIGID IN AN INSTANT

It was a 1-4-3 double play.

One hit results in two outs.

A FRUITLESS OUT COUNT

The pitcher is good at playing defense.

Second baseman would've caught it too.

We didn't expect this from Lee Dae-ho.

The Monsters' batters are discouraged.

Today's game isn't playing out well.

Jeez.

We could've hoped to score
two or three points with this lineup.

But not anymore.

We'll have to pin our hopes
on Jeong Seong-hoon.

3RD BASE RUNNER MUST SCORE

This pitcher got the best hitter
with a double play.

It must've made him exhilarated.

Batter four Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.

Second pitch. It's a ground ball.
A weak hit.

-Shortstop catches it.
-Slowly.

He's out on first base.

Jeez.

THEY LOST THE CHANCE TO SCORE

The batter's box is slippery.

The first two hitters
got on base on balls.

But with a double play and a ground ball,

CK Monsters failed to score
in the first inning.

They keep tripping us up.

Yes, they do.

These batters shouldn't have
ended up like this.

The players are…

JEONG YONG-GEOM, 3 LIVES LEFT
ABOUT TO CRY

The Monsters' starting pitcher today

is Oh Ju-won.

He has an earned run average of 2,83.

He had four wins.

Ju-won's determination
must be different today.

Ju-won looks determined.

He'll throw like today is his last day.

But there is one variable.

In the first inning,
we had the best batting order.

We thought we'd score,

-but we didn't.
-Right.

We lost yesterday,
so Oh Ju-won has to pitch

with that heavy atmosphere
that carried over.

-Ju-won, let's go.
-Go for it.

Batter one Park Yeon-ung is at bat.

Oh Ju-won's first pitch.

It's a ball.

LET'S GET ON BASE!

Okay.

As soon as a runner gets on base,

-they'll start to steal a base.
-That's right.

-Get on base!
-Here we go.

Second pitch. It's high.

-It's a ball.
-It's a ball.

TAKEN ABACK

-It's a first.
-What?

I've never seen him throw two balls

from the beginning.

Third pitch is another ball.

Hanil University is confident.

-Yes.
-They aren't rushed.

Recently Park Yeon-ung
has been batting well.

It's high.

LET'S GO!

No strikes.
The batter gets on base on balls.

THINKING…

The first hitter getting on base on balls
will make it difficult.

Exactly.

Ju-won pitching balls…

They'll start running now.

CORRECT!

MANAGER LEE GIVES DIRECTIONS
RIGHT AWAY

Go.

1ST BASE RUNNER MOVES AWAY FROM BASE

Let's go for two.

Here's a thing.

Hanil leads off far as they did yesterday.

What is Ju-won good at?

-Picking off base runners.
-Yes.

Ju-won is a left-handed pitcher as well.

KEEPING THE RUNNER CLOSE!

-Okay.
-Stay alert.

STARTING WITH LIGHT PICKOFFS

Ju-won can play with the base runners.

I hope he shines when he picks them off.

-Get ready.
-Here we go.

-Here we go.
-Let's go!

He keeps the first base runner close!

No!

WHAT?

NO!

-He keeps the first base runner close!
-That's it!

-This is it!
-He's out!

SCREAMING

THIS IS IT!

He's different.

Ju-won can do this.

Nice.

Nice pitcher!

DEVASTATED

As Commentator Kim Sun-woo expected,
he is called out.

Manager Lee requests instant replay.

-I'm not sure.
-I think it's out.

The runner was caught in reverse action.

First base runner Park Yeon-ung.

He caught it.

Let's see it in slow motion.

He was tagged here,
and his hand didn't touch base yet.

Out.

CALL CONFIRMED
1 OUT

It was perfect.

Ju-won got an out.

Chan-hui, I'll check the runner
if he gets on base.

-So just focus.
-Yes, sir.

This totally discourages the opponent.

-Right.
-Now they can't lead off.

If runners get on base,

-they'll be scared.
-Yes.

RUN IF YOU CAN

Let's see what happens today.

A runner got on base on balls,
but he's gone.

Now, Lee Tae-gyeong is at bat.

Okay!

He hits the first pitch. Center-left.

Okay!

He hits the first pitch.

It falls center-left.

-Go to third.
-Run.

-Keep running!
-More!

-Third!
-Third!

Lee Tae-gyeong runs to second base.

-Third!
-Go!

-Go!
-And…

he stops.

After one out,
Tae-gyeong has a two-base hit.

Yes!

He's a good batter.

-You're good!
-I have a bad feeling today.

THE TABLES ARE TURNED AGAIN

-Was it a fastball?
-Yes, sir.

This is what I find impressive
about Hanil University players.

Ju-won gained confidence,
so he threw a low one,

but the Hanil batters didn't sit back.

They're relentless.

Hanil hit the first pitch
and made a two-base hit.

That was Lee Tae-gyeong.

1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

Batter three Kim Bo-seong is at bat.

2 HITS IN 3 AT-BATS
BA OF .600 IN THE 1ST MATCH

Kim Bo-seong, keep it up.

Swing that bat!

Jeez.

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch.

-It goes in front of the center fielder.
-Go!

THIS IS IT!

Go!

Go!

-Go!
-He's telling him to go home.

Go!

-He catches it.
-He has to throw it.

TAEK-KEUN THROWS IT TO HOME PLATE!

Go!

-Go!
-Go!

HANIL'S LEGS VS TAEK-KEUN'S SHOULDER

-Go!
-Tag him out!

-He has to throw it!
-To home plate!

-To home plate!
-That's it!

Yes!

-To home plate!
-That's it!

-Out.
-He's out!

-That's it!
-He's out on the home plate!

OUTSTANDING!

Okay.

Lee Taek-keun's shoulder
shot the runner on home plate.

-Taek-keun V.
-Why did he run?

He kept telling him to run.

Lee Taek-keun's perfect throw

got second base runner Lee Tae-gyeong.

The Monsters are playing perfect defense.

It was a hit from the beginning.

But second base runner didn't make
a quick enough decision and ran back.

So he couldn't reach home quicker.

Lee Taek-keun's perfect throw.

He sent it perfectly.

Yes.

That's Lee Tae-keun.

-Good job, Taek-keun!
-Taek-keun V!

Jeez, Lee Taek-keun's shoulder.

Did you see it? You should throw like him.

You have to throw like that.

That was crazy.

It was amazing.

The batter got on second base,
and there's only one out left.

Keun-woo, I have a bad feeling.

It's messy.

Let's go. Trust yourself, Ju-won.

Batter four Jeon Gwang-jin is at bat.

-Gwang-jin.
-Okay, let's go!

We were definitely charmed
by Jeon Gwang-jin yesterday.

-He's a scary batter.
-Yes.

Can Oh Ju-won stop him here?

I CAN'T LET THEM SCORE FIRST

HE HITS!

-Okay.
-A ground ball.

It's a weak ground ball.
Shortstop catches it. Chi Seok-hoon.

-Okay!
-He's out on first base!

Good job.

-Nice one.
-Well done.

I'LL BE A REGULAR THIS TIME!

The Monsters faced a great crisis.

-Okay!
-But the team overcomes the crisis as one.

-Today's game starts with zero to zero.
-Nice pitching.

Nice pitch.

-Good job, Taek-keun.
-Well done.

That was a perfect throw.

It's A Clean Sweep's first assist.

-Right.
-It's the first assist.

A good assist.

LAUGHING

It's so dramatic from the first inning.

What is this?

Opportunities come after crises.

Now it's the top of the second inning.

The Monsters' leadoff hitter
Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

Let's go, Dong-wook.

Let's gather the runners.

The first pitch is a ball.

Bo-seong, make the strike zone smaller.

You can't throw four balls.

-Okay.
-Nice.

Four balls!

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY…

Another base on balls.

They allowed three walks today.

It's the Monsters' chance.

Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

Third.

3RD BASE!

Pitcher, cover the base.

3RD BASEMAN MOVES UP

Let's go.

He's holding the bat long.

Go!

Third.

He pulls.

-He did it.
-He got it.

He pulls.

He pulls.

First baseman catches it.

Hey.

First baseman catches it.

To second base. And to first base.

He's safe on first base.

All right.

-Good job!
-Lee Tae-gyeong!

-Tae-gyeong, nice.
-Well done.

He caught that?

It was so good
that we all thought it was a hit.

But Lee Tae-gyeong had a perfect catch.

Hanil University is
truly a difficult team to beat.

It's one out. Runner on first base.

Now, Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

Don't rush. If you do, you lose.

Another base on balls.

He throws meaningless pitches
and throws four balls.

The bottom orders
are getting a lot of chances.

-So many.
-Take care of them.

Pitcher Lee Gang-min threw
four sets of four balls today.

The Monsters must have a hit here
to gain momentum.

It was like that yesterday.

They expected things would go well
after scoring two points,

-but things didn't go well.
-That's true.

Chan-hui, show them!

We need a hit at this moment.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 HANIL

-Let's go.
-Take care of it.

SCORING FIRST IS IMPORTANT

STRIKE

He got a strike with a breaking ball.

Please have one hit.

Center-right is open.

You have to do it.

It's the same. Cut him here.
One at a time!

It all depends on one pitch.

What will the pitcher throw?

He has to swing instead of waiting.

In baseball,
you don't win by getting on base.

-You have to score.
-Yes.

Runners have to reach home plate.

It depends on this one pitch.

HE HITS!

It was a sharp swing!

It goes over the third baseman!

THE HIT GOES OVER 3RD BASEMAN!

-Yes!
-Thank you!

Run!

-Run!
-He runs to third base,

and to home plate.

Go!

Come on!

He reaches

home plate!

CK Monsters score first.

Finally, the Monsters start to score.

NICE

-Nice.
-We did it.

-Okay.
-Nice.

That was great.

Thank you.

A batter in the lower half of the lineup.

It's more meaningful
because Catcher Park Chan-hui made a hit.

Like you said,

Chan-hui's hit bounced high

and went over third baseman.

The batters keep getting a chance.

They really do.
Chi Seok-hoon needs to have a hit.

When the bottom batters get a chance,
they need to do it.

They need to hit with confidence.

Seok-hoon, please have a hit.

-Seok-hoon.
-Let's go.

Please have a hit.

It's important to focus on the game.

FOCUS…

JEEZ…

A high one. Four balls straight.

-Good.
-He's agitated.

GOOD EYE!

Three sets of four balls this inning.
The bases are loaded.

Timeout.

SIGH…

It's okay to throw four balls.

But you're doing it without meaning.

Your hand is a little slow.

They swing after your hand comes up.

-Got it?
-Okay.

He trusts him.

MANAGER LEE TRUSTS THE PITCHER

It's one out and bases are loaded.

-Manager Lee trusts Lee Gang-min.
-Yes.

Now Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

Let's go, devil!

Bases are loaded.

First, second, and third hitters
have to swing and attack.

So they can make a big inning.
Jeong Keun-woo is in the box.

The first pitch is a brushback.

If he hits, it'll be over.

Gang-min, focus!

-Go.
-It's up high.

SO CLOSE

It's a foul. One and one.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 HANIL

The ball drops
It wasn't in the strike zone.

It's okay.
You can do that. Try throwing low.

Pitcher Lee Gang-min
has to throw close to the strike zone.

It's high. It didn't go in the zone.

He trusted Lee Gang-min,

but he needs to decide
when to make a substitution.

If we score one or two more points,
they'll be in big trouble.

Lee Gang-min and Jeong Keun-woo

must make a result.

It's far again. A base on balls.

THAT SCARED ME…

Nice!

GOOD

Four sets of four balls this inning.

Lee Gang-min is wavering on the mound.

Another point.

MONSTERS 2 : 0 HANIL

My head almost got cut off.

LAUGHING

Bases are loaded.

Batter two Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

TRUSTWORTHY TAEK-KEUN V

Tell them to lead off far.

Hong-ku, tell them to lead off further.

WAVING

RUNNERS MOVE AWAY FROM BASE

Infielders, focus!

Can Lee Taek-keun
crush Hanil's infielders?

It's in!

A breaking ball. Strike.
It's a strikeout. Two outs.

Wasn't it too high?

JEEZ

TREMBLING
OH, NO…

We'll get a chance if we stop him!

They'll face the best batter.

It's Lee Dae-ho.

Dae-ho, we believe in you.

We want Dae-ho to have a hit.

-Of course.
-A hit

can be a home run or a regular hit.
We can score two points.

Dae-ho!

-Dae-ho!
-Dae-ho!

EXPECTATIONS TO THE MAX

It's crazy.

Bases are loaded.

-Dae-ho!
-Dae-ho!

Dae-ho!

-Let's go!
-Dae-ho!

Infielders, it's coming!

NERVOUS

MONSTERS 2 : 0 HANIL

This is the second chance.

What will Lee Dae-ho do?

Let's go.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT!

Lee Dae-ho's BA is .331.

WHAT?

-Okay.
-What was that?

THE HIT PLUMMETS…

It's a slow hit. The pitcher catches it.

-Good.
-He throws it to first base.

Bases were loaded.

The Monsters are winning
with a score of two to zero.

Runners were left on base four times.

ALREADY 4 LOBS IN THE 2ND INNING

Hey, don't turn your pelvis.

No. I almost got it,

-but the ball came out more.
-Slider.

I was going to…

WHAT IS HE SAYING?

Seriously.

I haven't made a full swing in a while
since I joined CK Monsters.

-But I failed.
-All right.

That slider got me.

-I thought I had it.
-Try again.

I really had the timing for the slider.

It's my first time
seeing Dae-ho hit like that.

It happens sometimes.

SIDING WITH HIS FRIEND

I really was going to hit it.

THAT'S ENOUGH

RUNNING AWAY

FRUSTRATED!

They don't fall completely.

Oh Ju-won is our lucky charm.

Right.

Hanil will be at bat
in the bottom of the second inning.

We scored first.

-So we need to trust Ju-won.
-Right.

Focus, Ju-won.

No four balls. Just let them hit.

-Ju-won, let's go!
-Nice pitcher!

You have your good throws.

I need to focus today.

FEELING A LOT OF PRESSURE

Batter five Hong In-taek is at bat.

Since the first year, his BA, hits, RBIs

-have been in the top five.
-Let's go.

In-taek, let's get on base.

If they get on base,
we know that'll mean trouble.

-Right.
-He needs to pitch perfectly.

-Okay.
-Good.

That's good.

Take it easy, Ju-won.

It's a foul.

Batter Hong In-taek had
an OPS of 1,013 this season.

Relax.

Look up high.

Let's go. Let's get on base.

Ball control is very important.

MONSTERS 2 : 0 HANIL

It comes in!

STRIKE OH RETURNS!

Strikeout looking!

HE'S BACK!

That's it.

Ju-won showed his best pitch.

Yes.

He showed pinpoint control.

JU-WON INCREASES THE OUT COUNT

Batter six Im Jae-min is at bat.

Make contact. Get on base!

Ju-won is slowly becoming stable.

Yes. He's throwing more strikes.

Close to the hitter. It's a hit.

A HIGH INFIELD HIT

It's ambiguous.

Okay.

INFIELDERS GATHER IN AN INSTANT

-Pitcher, catch it.
-Pitcher!

Hey.

Close to the hitter. It's a hit.

It's ambiguous.

-Okay.
-Someone should call it.

-Catcher catches it.
-Park Chan-hui.

-Catcher catches it.
-Park Chan-hui.

Park Chan-hui catches the ball
that falls over his head.

GROWLING!

He went so far.

He's a good catcher.

-Nice catch, Chan-hui.
-Yes, sir.

-Ju-won is shocked too.
-He is.

He saw that Dae-ho was on first base.

"I'll have to go and catch it."
That's why he ran after it.

Oh Ju-won, catch it!

You should catch it.

HE'S LIVELY

Why didn't you catch it?

You should do that much.

You should.

I thought I'd crash into Dae-ho.

You should've caught it.

-He was far away.
-I didn't want to crash.

I'll get hurt if I do.

I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT…

Catch it when you can.

-I'm sorry.
-Cover base.

Two outs. Choi Yun-ho is at bat.

That ball is in.

YOU WERE SAYING?

Perfect command.

Oh Ju-won adds another strikeout.

He finishes the inning
with only three batters.

Nice judgment.

-All right.
-Good job.

-Nice ball, Oh Ju-won.
-Nice pitching.

Good job. This is you.

THE BASEBALL GOD IS LEFT HANGING

-Nice.
-All right.

Keep calm.

You kept pushing the ball in earlier.

Yes, I did.

Hanil University is strong.
They make you slip up.

I hope we crush them completely.

We gained momentum.
Ju-won is pitching well.

But if we don't score,
it'll be like yesterday.

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

We dreamed of a .700 winning percentage.

Having a winning percentage of .700
is a dream for KBO players.

None of the teams I played for
had a winning percentage of .700.

It's rare.

For the first time in my life,
I want to have .700.

Leadoff hitter is Jeong Seong-hoon.

In order to have that,
today has to be different from yesterday.

We need to score extra points.

We just need to score a point.

If we score a point,
we can play great offense.

Let's go!

From the first pitch! Get on base!

HE HITS!

He pulls. It goes left.

-It's gone!
-It's gone!

-Yes!
-It's gone!

IT'S A HOME RUN!

JEEZ…

NO…

He pulls. It goes left.

This hit goes over the left fielder.

IT DIDN'T GO OVER THE FENCE

-Run!
-He's going to second base.

-Good!
-Jeong Seong-hoon runs to second base.

He gets on second base.

Genius!

AS EXPECTED OF OUR GENIUS

He's a genius.

FORMER 4TH HITTER ADMIRES HIM

Seong-hoon's two-base hit goes
over the left fielder and hits the fence.

It's been a while so you've
forgotten about this, haven't you?

This genius batter
shouldn't be sitting on the bench.

It would've been a home run elsewhere.

-It's far.
-It's too far.

It would've been a home run in Songdo.

It'd still be flying if it was in Songdo.

The slider went in perfectly.

The timing was off, but he casually
swung the bat and made a hit.

What a good fourth hitter.

Second base runner must reach home plate.

-It's a bunt.
-He's ready to bunt.

He tells Seo Dong-wook to bunt.

Dong-wook bunts the best in Korea.

Seo Dong-wook bunts the best in Korea.

Play as if your life depended on it.

Bunt.

The ball goes in deep.

Don't pull back.

-Don't say that.
-Don't say that.

EVERYONE CRITICIZES HIM

-Don't say that.
-Yesterday,

I nagged at Seok-hoon
and he didn't do well.

CAPITAL OFFENSE

We keep failing to bunt for some reason.

I told you not to pull back.

GIVING SIGNS AGAIN

NERVOUS TO THE MAX

READY TO BUNT AGAIN

Seo Dong-wook gets ready to bunt again.

Like Commentator Kim said,
the Monsters are using

the bunt strategy to score that one point.

-Good eye.
-He pulls back. It comes in low.

He's relaxed.

He's good!

They're putting a lot of pressure on us.

HANIL MOVES UP TO PLAY DEFENSE

-He'll hit.
-Here comes a strong one.

He'll hit. It'll kill you.

Guard your balls.

IMMOVABLE BUNT STANCE

MOVING

It's a slash bunt.

FRIGHTENED

-Two balls, one strike.
-Okay.

IS IT A SLASH BUNT OR WHAT?

Jeez.

ARE YOU CONFUSED?

They're scared.

Good job, Dong-wook!

They're scared.

-Scaredy cats.
-They're scared.

GUESS WHAT THIS IS?

DONG-WOOK IS READY TO SWING

Now Dong-wook is ready to swing.
Two balls, one strike.

GOING FOR A SURPRISE BUNT

-He bunts.
-He bunts. It's a foul.

PLAN FAILED AGAIN

We aren't bunting well.

That was a ball.

JEEZ…

This is what we need to do now.

We failed to bunt,
but Dong-wook has to pull

and send second base runner to third base.

Dong-wook.

Dong-wook. Come on.

-Have a hit.
-Send him somehow.

-Do something.
-Do anything to send him to third base!

Batting for the team.

MONSTERS 2 : 0 HANIL

That's what the Monsters need now.

MUST SEND 2ND BASE RUNNER TO 3RD

It's two and two. Seo Dong-wook.

He holds back
on the outside dropping ball.

Nice.

DONG-WOOK HELD BACK ON A BALL

Let's go.

EVENTUALLY, IT BECAME A FULL COUNT

-You need to throw a strike.
-Go for it.

Gang-min, good ball.

Focus.

One out.

-Show them!
-Please.

If you don't hit,
I'll make you run to Seoul.

Dong-wook, you have to hit.

It's a full count.

Seo Dong-wook versus Lee Gang-min.

It's a ball. He walks.

DONG-WOOK NEVER HITS!

-This is actually better.
-It's not bad.

The Monsters take the empty first base.

No outs. Runners on first and second.

Timeout.

-Now Manager Lee visits the mound.
-Yes.

He substitutes the pitcher.

He threw seven sets of four balls.

-Good job.
-Yes, sir.

Starting pitcher
Lee Gang-min is done for today.

Manager Lee finally makes a decision.

Number 62.

First-year pitcher Kim Geon-ung

is the second pitcher.

Kim Geon-ung's
fastest pitching speed is 143km/h.

His specialty is splitters
that look like curve balls.

His slider is good.

We'll have to bunt.

Hey.

Yes, sir.

-Is he good at bunting?
-Pardon?

-Is he good at bunting?
-Yes, he is.

Is he better than you?

I'm better, but he's good too.

Moon-ho is excellent at bunting.

He complimented Moon-ho for his bunting.

He's good at bunting.
He has a good sense of bunting.

When you bunt,
watch where the shortstop is.

When he's near second base,

-bunt toward third base.
-Yes, sir.

-Nobody is covering the base, okay?
-Yes, sir.

-Bunt toward third base.
-Yes, sir.

BUNT TOWARD 3RD BASE

No outs.
Runners on first and second bases.

Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

Will he bunt or swing?

Since Manager Kim joined the team,
this became an issue.

READY TO BUNT

-Bunt.
-Yes.

Timeout. Guys, look.

They asked for a timeout.
Catcher is giving signs.

Because we're trying to bunt,

he's giving signs to the infielders.

It's 100% a bunt.

They're all going to move up.

If they come in, hit it hard!

Kim Moon-ho is ready to bunt.

He bunts.

He bunts.

1ST AND 2ND RUNNERS MAKE A DASH

He bunts.

-Third baseman catches it.
-It's perfect.

They can't get the runners.

They only get the batter on first.

One out. Runners on third and second.

BUNT KING MOON-HO!

That was perfect.

SUPER PLEASED

Finally, CK Monsters
had a successful bunt.

-I should do what I should do.
-Great bunt.

That bunt felt great.

Yes.

Kim Moon-ho did it.

Finally, CK Monsters
had a successful bunt.

-Just bunt.
-If I swung,

I would've killed them all.

Manager Kim's plan
was carried out successfully.

We want to score two points,
but we only need one actually.

-Yes.
-So, it'd be nice

if Choi Soo-hyun has a three-base hit.

He had three two-base hits
and five three-base hits.

Then he should have six three-base hits.

-Soo-hyun, you have to hit it!
-Let's go.

Moon-ho sacrificed himself
to make them advance.

You're there to have a hit.

We can totally gain momentum.

WE CAN SCORE WITH ONE HIT!

Fielders are moved up
to prevent us from scoring a point.

Infielders, it's coming.

The pitcher is after a strikeout.

I'LL STOP HIM

Here it comes.

This is our time to hit.

HIT!

He hits! It goes past the infielders.

Okay.

-Yes!
-That's it!

I told you it was our time to hit!

-Nice!
-Go!

2ND, 3RD BASE RUNNERS SPRINT

-All right.
-Go!

Third base runner reaches home plate.

MONSTERS 3 : 0 HANIL

Choi Soo-hyun's one RBI.

The Monsters finally score
that one point they needed.

-I told you it was our time to hit.
-He's on base.

-From now on,
-Yes?

I can say this with confidence,

our batters will make hits.

Three points

will put our batters
and the whole dugout at ease.

-Chan-hui, please do one more.
-One more.

I haven't done much,
but please do it for me.

-Okay.
-Hit one for Dae-ho.

Yes.

Now batter eight Park Chan-hui is at bat.

Chan-hui was the one
who made the first RBI today.

He should bat with confidence.

Hit it far, Chan-hui.

Over the fence.

Two runners on the field.

The Hanil University pitcher
and catcher are now thinking

of a double play.

HANIL UNIVERSITY IS
AFTER A DOUBLE PLAY

Let's go.

Runner starts to run.

-Get him!
-Hey!

PLEASE…

-Runner starts to run.
-Hey!

A breaking ball.

Choi Soo-hyun watches
for a chance and gets it.

-Good job.
-Soo-hyun.

-Nice.
-Well done.

-Good start.
-You're good.

-Nice.
-Good play.

PANICKING

It's okay.

We don't have to worry about double play.

No, we don't. We can score two points.

Park Chan-hui shouldn't be greedy.
He has to push.

MUST BRING THE RUNNERS HOME

HE HITS!

-It's a slow ground ball.
-He can't run.

Okay. Wait!

Third base runner can't come home.

It's a high throw,
but batter is out on first base.

He's out.

He had to push.

I TOLD HIM TO PUSH

SO CLOSE

We have to score a point.

-Hanil University's infielders
-Good!

put up a tight defense.

The defense stopped us. Two outs.

Stop them.

Let's end it here.

One out left. It depends on Seok-hoon.

If Seok-hoon gets on base,

Keun-woo will be at bat next.

We can keep it going.

MOST HOME RUNS, 2ND BEST BA

Jeong Keun-woo will be at bat next.

Will the Monsters keep going or stop here?

Chi Seok-hoon holds back.

-Okay.
-Okay.

KING SEOK-HOON GETS ON BASE

Hanil University is facing a crisis.

BASES ARE LOADED

It's okay. Now they're full.

We'll start from here.

-It's a big chance.
-Yes.

Another big chance came
to the Monsters today.

MOVING

They go out, but don't come in.

Pardon?

They go out, but don't come in.

Too many LOBs.

LOB ON 1ST AND 2ND INNINGS

Now it's Jeong Keun-woo's turn.

Today, he held back on balls

and got on base on balls twice.

We need to score two points
no matter what.

We have to make it five to zero.

Hit one here. Take the respirator off.

It's about time.

Who is the home-run king of the Monsters?

It's Jeong Keun-woo.

I really wanted to hit.

If I do when the bases are loaded,

we'll totally have
the winning momentum for today.

If we have four points,

-Hanil will have a really hard time.
-Right.

That's why Kim Geon-ung is very focused.

Pitcher Kim Geon-ung.

He pulls!

He pulls! Third baseman catches it

and steps on base himself.

KEUN-WOO COULDN'T TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

We're getting caught up.

-We really are.
-We're getting caught up.

We scored only three points?

The Monsters end the inning
with three runners left on base.

Now the score is three to zero.

CK MONSTERS
HANIL UNIVERSITY

TOP OF THE 3RD INNING

Now it's the top of the fourth.
First hitter Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

Let's keep going.

Lee Taek-keun,
Lee Dae-ho, and Jeong Seong-hoon

will be at bat this inning.

-It's a good batting order.
-Yes.

-You know what?
-What?

During the warm-up,
I overheard Manager Kim

talking to Lee Taek-keun earlier.

"How do you feel?"

Lee Taek-keun answered,
"I'm all right. I'll play."

-"Then hit four home runs."
-Really?

He told him to hit a home run
and walk home slowly.

FOUND A TARGET

How are your legs?

They're okay, sir.

-Are they?
-Yes, sir.

Then hit four home runs.

-Home runs?
-Four of them.

-Then your legs won't hurt.
-Okay, sir.

You feel like
you have to do what Manager Kim says.

Taek-keun hasn't had a home run yet.

(27 GAMES, 0 HONE RUMS)

A GROUND BALL

-Nice shot.
-Slowly.

A ground ball heads to shortstop.

Jeez.

Shortstop catches it. First base.

He's out on first base.

DEVASTATED HERMIT CRAB

Jeez, I'm getting stressed.

CURSING WITH HIS EYES

Too slow.

THE WORLD TURNED ITS BACK ON HIM

It's the third hitter Lee Dae-ho.

You're doing well on a cold day.

-Hit it.
-Home run.

Usually, Lee Dae-ho pushes lightly.

Today he's trying to pull.

I think he wants to send it
over the fence.

He's the Cleanup Hitter of Joseon.

All right. A fast hit.

-Okay.
-Low. Four balls straight.

GETTING ON BASE WITHOUT HARD WORK!

Another runner gets on base after one out.

Jeez.

How many walks are you allowing?

The Monsters were never caught out

with a 1-2-3 inning today.

-We're doing well.
-Yes.

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

Genius, let's go!

Jeong Seong-hoon
had a two-base hit previously.

The score is three to zero.

The Monsters are focused more than ever.

A high ball. He holds back.

Four balls again.

THANKS FOR THE BASE ON BALLS!

Good eye!

Good eye!

-Seriously.
-Two sets of four balls in a row.

We allowed ten walks now.

Ten sets of four balls.

Ten of them. Jeez.

Lee Dae-ho is on second.
Jeong Seong-hoon on first.

Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

Runners have to be careful with the lead

because a ground ball
could result in a double play.

Let's keep going.

You have to go low.

-Seo Dong-wook hits the first pitch.
-Okay!

-Seo Dong-wook hits the first pitch.
-Okay!

-It's slow!
-Go!

-Okay.
-He did it.

Third.

A SLOW HIT!

-Okay!
-Run!

HE RUNS FOR HIS LIFE!

-Okay!
-Here!

The pitcher…

He misses it!

THE BALL GOES BACK!

-Yes!
-Nice!

Okay.

-We did it.
-This is it.

We did it.

Second base runner
reaches third, then home.

MAKING A DASH

Lee Dae-ho reaches home plate.

Yes! Okay!

I love it.

-Good. This is it.
-He still got it.

-That's it.
-This is how it's supposed to be.

HAPPY TO COME HOME

-Yes!
-This is how it should be. Dae-ho!

-You're fast.
-All right.

-Okay.
-Perfect.

-Dae-ho.
-Okay.

-That's their weakness.
-We need to keep going.

Seo Dong-wook's hit
was like a perfect bunt.

So Kim Geon-ung

had to catch and throw quickly.

That's why there was an error.

-Hey.
-The infielders were too tight.

Let's enjoy this.

Busan High School.

AS EXPECTED OF BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL

-What?
-What?

-What?
-Pardon?

Those from Busan High School do well.

KIDS FROM BUSAN DO WELL!

Timeout.

MANAGER LEE VISITS THE MOUND

Timeout.

SIGH…

-Good job.
-Yes, sir.

Hanil University substitutes the pitcher.

It's a new pitcher.

Hwang Gwi-hyeon
will be on the mound again.

-Didn't he pitch yesterday?
-Yes.

He threw a lot yesterday.

His pitching got me.

-His name had "Gwi" in it.
-Yes.

He throws loose sliders.

STRIKEOUT

ANOTHER STRIKEOUT

For four and a third innings,
he had four hits

and one earned run yesterday.

He was like the Grim Reaper.

HE'S STILL GOT IT!

What?

I have a good feeling.

If Kim Moon-ho has a hit
and we score two points,

we can hope for

-a called game. Yes.
-A called game.

This is baseball.

Moon-ho will hit this for sure.

-This is perfect for Moon-ho.
-A cool hit.

Just score one point.

Let's make it five to zero.

Two runners are in scoring position.

With a hit,
CK Monsters can have two points.

Let's go. Focus.

-He holds back on the outside ball.
-He's good.

-That was dangerous.
-All right.

Jeez.

We won't be fooled twice.

Not twice!

Bases loaded again.

No double.

Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

One out. Bases loaded.
He has to swing confidently.

Let me tell you again.
Six three-base hits.

Soo-hyun, you're today's hero.

THE TENSION IN THE FIELD IS PALPABLE

Gwi-hyeon, cover base.

MANAGER LEE

With a hit,
the Monsters can score ample points.

One out. Bases loaded. Choi Soo-hyun.

MONSTERS 4 : 0 HANIL

He holds back on the dropping ball.

WILD PITCH

-Third base runner is running!
-He's coming in!

Okay.

NOW IS THE CHANCE!

Okay!

Run! He's fast!

Jeong Seong-hoon comes home!

Jeong Seong-hoon comes home!

-Safe!
-He's safe on home base!

LOOK AT THAT BASE RUNNING!

-Fast funner.
-Nice.

You're cool. Genius.

MONSTERS 5 : 0 HANIL

That was cool.

Jeong Seong-hoon ran.
We score another point.

He's limping, but he did it.

-All right.
-Genius.

THE BEST COMPLIMENT

He's a genius at stealing bases!

SUPER EXCITED

What did I say was the thing
to watch for on A Clean Sweep?

It was Jeong Seong-hoon's stealing.

He's still the first place
in the number of stolen bases.

A perfect decision-making.

Look at him go.

You can't make that play
unless you are bold with good judgment.

Are you bleeding?

You are bleeding everywhere.

It's a bloodbath.

Runners on second and third with one out.

The score is five to zero now.

Choi Soo-hyun is in the box.

CONTINUOUS CHANCES TO SCORE!

Two runners in scoring position.

Infielders, come in closer!

A defensive shift.

Infielders, be ready.

Just smoothly hit the slider
that's going to come in.

With one hit, the Monsters
may be able to score two runs!

MONSTERS 5 : 0 HANIL

-Watch out!
-Go!

A ground ball.

Defensive shift proves to be effective!

NO!
HE SPRINTS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

First base!

He's out!

SOO-HYUN TRIPS ON 1ST BASEMAN'S FOOT

-Oh, no!
-Hey!

Instant replay.

It's safe.

-Let's rewatch it.
-Ask them.

-But it's out.
-No, because he tripped.

Hong-ku, where were you looking?

Hong-ku, is he safe or not?

He's safe?

I DON'T KNOW EITHER

-What's this? Is this safe?
-How come you don't know?

You are the closest.

Watch the right foot.

When he was stepping on the base,
was the first baseman on the plate?

First baseman's left foot
was off when he was catching.

Look here.

It's this scene.

We'll have to see what the umpire calls.

He overturns his call!

HE'S SATISFIED

Hong-ku!

CELEBRATING
NICE!

-I told you he's safe.
-Hong-ku!

What are you doing, man?

You didn't even know!

What does this even mean?

It means safe.

MAKING EXCUSES TO SURVIVE

COLD AIR FILLS HANIL'S DUGOUT

The bases are loaded with an out.

This is another chance for the Monsters.

Park Chan-hui is in the box.

Yesterday, Park Chan-hui's batting
was very strong.

I hope to see
his offensive power again here.

He has to hit this one.

Chan-hui, we want more runs here.

I wasn't hoping for anything big,

but I wanted to avoid making a mistake.

Come on!

-Come on!
-You should've hit it harder.

A ground ball. Shortstop fields it.

Out on second and to first.

Out on first base.

WHAT A RELIEF!

DARN IT!

-That was so close.
-Gosh.

What a bummer.

LOSES THE CHANCE TO SCORE

Their offense ends with a double play.

Despite that, the Monsters managed
to score a run this inning.

The score is five to zero.

It isn't smooth sailing.

-It feels like…
-We're scoring runs bit by bit.

It feels like we're not there yet.

-Baseball is never easy.
-Never easy.

You try being a hitter.

Just score a run at a time.

All you need to do is pitch,

but we're on defense and offense.

So please understand.

I'll try my best. Let's go!

HE'S OVERZEALOUS

They are grouping up again.
That makes me feel uneasy.

SEUNG-JUN

You guys.

It's okay to lose the game.

But this is just humiliating.

STREAKS OF ERRORS

I don't care about the show.

LEAD TO DIFFERENCE IN RUNS

Why are you making this
a humiliating match?

Get it together.

The game's not over yet. Got it?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Let's focus from now on.
It's not over yet.

-One, two, three.
-Go!

All we need is one big inning.

This is now the bottom of the fourth.

Hanil is on the offense.

If Oh Ju-won manages to stop them
from scoring this inning as well,

the momentum will shift
to the Monsters completely.

The Monsters would feel uneasy
allowing even a single run against them.

Despite being ahead by five,
they need a good pitch.

In the box is Kim Bo-seong,
who made a hit today.

Let's get on base!

One run at a time!

HE HITS!

The ground ball rolls beside second base.

First hitter advances.

They begin their counterattack.

WE HAVE A GOOD FEELING

This is a tough game.

He swung well.
It dropped perfectly, but he still hit it.

-Was that a breaking ball?
-Yes, it was.

The hitter was the one
who hit the fastball earlier.

WELL…

GLANCING AT THE MANAGER

HE FLINCHES

I just want one hit.

GET READY

YES, SIR

Next up is Jeon Gwang-jin.

We need more runners out there!
We can go one base at a time!

Try to pick him off, Ju-won!

He pushes it out!

He fails to field it!

ANOTHER HIT

-He misses the ball!
-Darn it.

Choi Soo-hyun threw himself,
but it became a hit in the right.

-Back-to-back hits.
-Yes!

-Time to come home now!
-Come home!

What a weird hit.

What just happened?

Gosh, I didn't expect that.

Darn it.

All right.

HE STANDS UP

Timeout!

Kim Sung-keun visits the mound
for the first time today.

All infielders gather around.

NERVOUS

Just chuck the ball.

-Don't try to take control. Just chuck it.
-Yes, sir.

-Okay?
-Yes, sir.

Don't play so obviously after two strikes.

-Yes, sir.
-Okay?

-Take advantage of the balls.
-Yes, sir.

With a serious face, Kim Sung-keun

-talked to the battery and left.
-Yes.

-Stop them here.
-Yes, sir.

Let's go.

I think it's my first time

giving out such detailed instructions
in my manager career.

It felt like a win-or-lose situation.

I need to tighten my belt.

SIGH…

Time to focus.

Five to zero, leading by five.

But Hanil's counterattack has begun.

A HIT WILL RESULT IN A RUN

-Darn.
-Hey!

Third pitch bounces off the dirt!

-Goodness.
-Gosh, Chan-hui.

The runners advance a base each.

-All right!
-Nice!

This is such a bummer
as Park Chan-hui's forte

is his blocking.

Runners on second and third with no outs.

Two runners in scoring position.

So here…

We can force a ground ball.

-The runners stay on the bases…
-No.

Actually, we can just give them a run
and get more outs.

A runner can come in with a sacrifice fly.

HE HITS!

He pushes!

Center-left!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Center-left! It hits the ground.

YES!

-Keep running!
-Keep running!

Third base is heading for home.

And he safely comes home!

MONSTERS 5 : 1 HANIL

And the second base runner
advances to third.

An RBI.

With Kim Bo-seong coming home,

Hanil begins their counterattack!

HANIL UNIVERSITY STARTS THEIR PURSUIT

-Come here.
-This is just beginning!

-We're only getting started.
-This is our comeback.

Kim Bo-seong!

What's getting started? That's enough man.

Why does it feel like we're losing?

-Feels weird.
-I know.

It's fine. Take it slow.

Five to one. A four-run difference.

What is scarier than that
is that they don't have any outs.

RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD WITH NO OUTS

We'll do a double play here!

A double play!

You're right. We can do it.

All fielders come closer
to the plate for defense.

-They've given up on third base runner.
-I see.

Their plan is

to get the hitter out and prevent
first base runner from advancing.

Gosh.

It bounces off again!

Despite it bouncing,
the runner couldn't come home.

Only the first base runner
advances to second.

Runners on second and third with no outs.

A crisis for the Monsters.

This can't be happening.
Hurry up and get them out.

At least one out, please.

This is an even bigger crisis
because they can't do a double play now.

HE HITS IT!

He pulls! Shortstop fields it!

He makes the second base runner stay!

-Out on first base!
-Lee Dae-ho!

To first base!

My goodness.

-Out on first base!
-Lee Dae-ho!

NICE DEFENSE

Nice!

Gosh, Dae-ho!

-Lee Dae-ho!
-Nice catch.

Lee Dae-ho!

My gosh.

Chi Seok-hoon fakes the throw to second,

and Lee Dae-ho catches the risky throw!

They get an out without allowing a run.

-Did you see that?
-Unbelievable.

That was nuts.

-I can't believe it.
-Indeed.

Seriously. He's so good.

Lee Dae-ho is

a first baseman
that perfects Chi Seok-hoon's defense.

Right.

Thank you, sir!

WINKS BACK

REGULAR ON THE SHOW GAUGE

-That was a nice catch.
-That was big.

-On top of this, they didn't allow a run.
-That's right.

This gives us hope.

Runners on second and third with an out.

JAE-DU, COME HERE!

And they are playing Kim Jae-du,
the pinch hitter.

Hanil plays a pinch hitter early
in the fourth inning.

You can stop them, Ju-won.

Show us!

Prove to them you're on a different level.

-First pitch goes inside.
-Nice ball.

What a nice pitch.

Another inside pitch.

-A foul, two strikes.
-He swings too slow.

They all skip off the bat.

-Nice ball.
-Good job.

-He's warmed up now.
-Good!

The fielders are helping the pitcher,
preventing Hanil from scoring.

And now, Ju-won needs to show
his power to pitch a strikeout.

I think he'll swing for the breaking ball.

Strikeout on breaking ball?

MONSTERS 5 : 1 HANIL

He's going to get baited!

A favorable ball count with two strikes.

MONSTERS 5 : 1 HANIL

-An outside pitch!
-Swing!

-Swing!
-That was a swing!

It's not a swing.

Good eye!

He withdraws his bat
right before he swings.

The count is one and two.

A slow breaking ball.

That wasn't in the zone. Darn it.

-All right!
-Nice!

-Keep it up!
-Come on!

Ju-won now needs to play boldly
and throw an inside pitch.

-A fastball?
-Yes.

It's an inside pitch, but it's too low.

-No!
-Gosh.

SIGH…

Full count.

FULL COUNT SITUATION

The momentum will shift
if we allow another run.

Pressure him!

-Do it right!
-In today's match,

we invested everything into Oh Ju-won.

We entrusted him with everything.

I MUST GET HIM OUT HERE

Please hit the ball!

Keep pressuring him!

It's a ground ball.

It's a ground ball.

Third baseman and shortstop
fail to field it!

-Okay!
-Okay!

My goodness.

Third base runner comes home.

Hanil manages to score an additional run.

The score is five to two.

HANIL IS CHASING THEM DOWN

-Nice!
-Yes!

Come here!

-All right!
-Nice!

-Come on.
-High five!

All right!

Kim Jae-du!

We're coming back into the game!

In an unfavorable count for the hitter
with two strikes,

Kim Jae-du of Hanil manages

to hit an RBI.

Hanil, who beat the Monsters yesterday,

stays strong even today.

-Gosh.
-Goodness gracious.

OH, NO…

This is bad.

He's lost his touch.

Manager Kim Sung-keun

-decides to substitute pitchers here.
-Yoo Hee-kwan.

Yoo Hee-kwan.

-Okay, good work.
-Good job.

Oh Ju-won wanted to shine,

but he comes down from the mound
with disappointment.

Good job!

-Good work.
-Well done.

-Good job.
-Good work.

Let's leave Gunsan now.

All their hits were so tricky today.

I was sloppy today, that's why.

Isn't this game where you threw
the most balls in a game?

I can't throw strikes.

-I know.
-I was messy today.

I was disappointed.

I felt bad when I came down
from the mound,

burdening the next pitcher.

DISAPPOINTED AS A STARTING PITCHER
FOR NOT MAKING A FAVORABLE SITUATION

Now, it's the time
to meet our second pitcher.

-The second pitcher is Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Okay.

ACE YOO HEE-KWAN TO THE RESCUE

-Good luck, Hee-kwan.
-Let's do this.

Good luck, sir.

He's here. The pitcher
I said was the most difficult to face.

Don't watch his stance
and analyze what he's going to do.

Just stare at the ball and swing hard.

-Got it? Look for high pitches.
-Yes, sir.

PINCH HITTER JUNG SI-HYEOK
TO THE BOX

They play a pinch hitter here.

With one additional run,

the score will be five to three.

That's why he chose to play
the pinch hitter to come out strong.

Runners on first and third with an out.

It's a ground ball!

-This is it.
-This is ours.

Let's go.

It's a ground ball!

Shortstop dashes in. Out on second!

And he doesn't throw it to first.

And with that,
the third base runner comes home.

-It's fine!
-Good work!

You can do this!

This is a big inning for Hanil.

The score is five to three.

Darn it.

A pinch runner, please!

-They switched him out for a pinch runner.
-Hi.

RUNNER ON 1ST WITH 2 OUTS

A runner on first with two outs.

-Let's go, Ji-seong!
-Let's go!

Swing that bat!

Come on, Hee-kwan!

This is our last chance for an out.

He makes contact into the center.

Who the hell is this guy?

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Go to third!

-Go!
-Third!

1ST BASE RUNNER TO 2ND

He's going for second.

But he keeps going to third!

-Third!
-Third!

He throws it to third!

-Third!
-Third!

He throws it to third! And…

the runner is safe.

Amidst the chaos,
the hitter advances to second.

-Okay!
-Yes!

WELL PLAYED

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

GIGGLING

What is fascinating about this team is

-that the hitter advanced to second base.
-Right.

Now, a hit can result
in evening out the game.

He's good.

Gosh.

-They are great hitters.
-Indeed.

-What are they doing?
-This is a huge accident.

JU-WON

The five-point lead
that made them feel safe is now gone.

Today's game
will start from zero with a hit.

Right.

Come home, guys!

Please!

Let's even it out.

Hee-kwan, one more!

-Just one more!
-One more!

It's a chopper!

-This is it.
-Please.

Please.

It's a chopper!

Chi Seok-hoon dashes in. He fields it!

Out on first base!

THIS IS IT!

Yes, Chi Seok-hoon!

Nice.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, CHI SEOK-HOON

Good job.

He fielded the ball like this
and threw it.

-Nice.
-Nice.

REGULAR ON THE SHOW GAUGE

Chi Seok-hoon, the defense fairy!

THE DEFENSE FAIRY SHOWS UP
WHENEVER THE TEAM IS IN TROUBLE

Their defense is just unbelievable.

Without allowing them to score more,

Hee-kwan, Chi Seok-hoon, and the Monsters

wrap up the inning.

GOSH…

HE CHUCKLES

Seok-hoon is doing so well today.

My head hurts.

SIDE EFFECT
OF BEING TOO ENGROSSED

Gosh, my head.

It's now the bottom of the fifth.

Hanil is on the offense.

The inning begins with their cleanup trio.

Yoo Hee-kwan is on the mound

when the team is facing
their greatest challenge in today's game.

The Monsters' defensive aspect
was strong this season,

but things were different
yesterday and today.

We didn't see
any confident pitches so far.

First up is Lee Tae-gyeong,
the second hitter.

One at a time!

An inside pitch. It's a ground ball.

Chi Seok-hoon fields it and to first.

And he's out.

Any hits that go to Chi Seok-hoon

will be taken care of easily today.

-All right!
-Let's go!

How many more outs
do they need in this game?

FLUSTERED
HOW MANY OUTS?

-Today's game?
-Yes.

I just want all those balls
to go to Chi Seok-hoon.

-That's just my honest feeling.
-We have 14 left.

I think Chi Seok-hoon
will take care of everything.

Next up is Kim Bo-seong.

A breaking ball. He hits it.

-Lee Dae-ho!
-He fields it!

HE'S SUPER FAST

He passes to the pitcher.

Yoo Hee-kwan steps on the base.

HE'S SO FAST

-Yes!
-Nice!

-Keep defending!
-Good job!

There is another
defense fairy in first base.

I'M THE ORIGINAL

We should choose an MVP
from the defense for the first time.

-We should.
-Lee Dae-ho and Chi Seok-hoon.

Let's go!

They now have two outs.

Next up is Jeon Gwang-jin,
the fourth hitter.

It grazes off the end of the bat.

-It grazes off the end of the bat.
-In the front!

Center fielder comes down!

And Lee Taek-keun catches it
for the final out.

Yoo Hee-kwan with a 1-2-3 inning!

The game goes into the sixth.

Listen. His pitches are slow,
but they are all bait.

What does that mean?

He's trying to tempt you to swing.

For those kinds of pitches,

you have to swing harder and faster
than you think.

You need to think differently.

Don't start swinging slowly
because it's slow.

Just wait.

Wait for it to come as close as possible
and then swing.

Think differently, got it?

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

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

-Bring it in.
-Bring it in.

Hey!

-One, two, three!
-Let's go!

This is now the bottom of the sixth.

Right before Hanil's offense in the sixth,
Manager Lee called the players over

and emphasized how the hitters
can hit Yoo Hee-kwan's balls.

First up is Hong In-taek.

WILL THEY BREAK THROUGH HEE-KWAN?

BALL

An outside pitch, but a ball.

TWO BALLS

He holds back on the outside pitch.

HONG IN-TAEK CHOOSES THE BALLS WELL

-Nice!
-Nice!

Let's advance!

The outside pitch is high,
and it's a walk.

THAT WORKED

-Nice!
-Nice!

We don't see
Hee-kwan pitch a walk that often.

We'll have a pinch runner!

Man, you guys have so many fast runners.

With Hong In-taek going in,

they bring a pinch runner in.

I feel like everything Manager Lee does
works in this game.

-Tell me about it.
-Yes.

He needs to force a ground ball.

And we must utilize Chi Seok-hoon
as much as possible.

Time to pitch
with a runner on first with no outs.

It's a hit-and-run!

HE HITS IT!

It's a hit-and-run!

It goes over to Chi Seok-hoon.
He fields it and to first!

And out on first base.

-Good.
-But Kwak Dong-hyo,

-who began running with a hit advances.
-Okay.

Manager Lee doesn't hesitate to play
very bold moves here.

A runner on second with an out.

Next up is Kim Jae-du, the seventh hitter.

Kim Jae-du, playing as a substitute.

An outside pitch. The pitcher fields it!

PITCHER CATCHES IT!

SPRINTING AS FAST AS HE CAN

To third base!

He's out.

-To third base!
-Third!

-He's out! He's out on third!
-Out!

HE'S OUT! HE'S OUT ON 3RD!

Yoo Hee-kwan's perfect decision-making!

His judgment was not wrong!

-Nice play.
-Nice play!

That was just…

AMAZED…

-You know I was once a Major Leaguer.
-Right.

Even I can tell
that the defense was amazing.

With Hee-kwan's perfect throw

and Jeong Keun-woo's immaculate tagging,

the Monsters managed to get him out.

A runner on first with two outs.

Next up is Moon Jong-yun.

BATTER 8, MOON JONG-YUN

-Nice.
-It goes up high.

-Third.
-It doesn't travel far.

Third baseman.

It's Jeong Keun-woo.

With Jeong Keun-woo's catch,

-Well done.
-they wrap up the inning.

-Okay!
-All right!

THAT WAS EASY

We all thought this inning
was a crisis for the Monsters,

but with Yoo Hee-kwan's great defense,
they deleted the inning.

Yoo Hee-kwan has not allowed any runs.

That was a great defense earlier.

We only have a few more left!

Let's go for one more run.

We now have three innings left,
the seventh, eighth, and ninth.

Runners on first and second with no outs.

The Monsters are on offense.

WHAT BROUGHT
ON THIS SITUATION FOR HANIL?

Choi Soo-hyun's on-base percentage
is 1,000 today.

SOO-HYUN AS LEADOFF HITTER

This is his 12th pitch.

It's an outside pitch, but it's a walk!

And with another walk,
Hanil lets another runner advance.

Hanil tried to chase them down,

but the Monsters finally
get their chance once again.

This is where we need a bunt.

So they must defend well.

But it's Chi Seok-hoon and his bunt.

It may turn out like yesterday.

A ROCKET BUNT
SHOOT!

HE SENT THEIR HOPES, DREAMS,
AND CHANCE FLYING SKY-HIGH

AND THE TEAM'S FAITH IN HIM
TOOK A DEEP DIVE

Let's go, Seok-hoon.

I MUST NOT FAIL THIS TIME

Just don't be too greedy.

THIS IS HIS LAST CHANCE…

We really want to forget yesterday's bunt.

It's a slash bunt!

The ball is too high.

HIS REFLEXES WERE TOO GOOD FOR NOTHING

That was too fast.

HE LOOKS AWAY

DID YOU SERIOUSLY DODGE THAT?

Hey! What the hell
is wrong with your waist?

Come on, it's just your body.

Don't play recklessly
because you have a stable job!

Can't you read the room?

-We're desperate.
-Indeed.

We have everything on the line.

I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN HIT…

He's not trying because he has a job.

They are now making plays.

We are very curious
as to what Manager Kim is thinking

and what signals Park Yong-taek,
the third base coach, is sending.

-That sign.
-Yes.

He showed me in the morning.

-He has like thirty signs.
-That's a lot.

He had to memorize that.

I hope Chi Seok-hoon's efforts
will come to fruition.

I hope so too.

THE STRATEGY DEPENDS ON SEOK-HOON

He needs to bunt
if he doesn't see any movements.

When the outfielders of each corner
are pressuring him,

we'll see how well he fakes his bunt.

The fielders are moving.

A fake bunt slash! It's a ground ball.

A slash bunt! It's a ground ball.

-What?
-Shortstop fields it!

LEE TAE-GYEONG'S DIVING CATCH!

-Really?
-It's fine.

A slash bunt! It's a ground ball.

-What?
-Shortstop fields it!

But he misses the throw to second!

-Go!
-Run!

He passes through third and goes for home!

Go!

The runner comes home!

The Monsters squeeze a run out like this!

The score is six to three.

DARN, THAT WAS A GOOD CATCH…

An impenetrable defense.

But their defense falters here once again.

Chi Seok-hoon brings
about a different result from yesterday.

Because the fake bunt slash
led their defense to make an error,

I'm confident that
the Monsters will now score more runs.

They are three runs ahead
without any outs.

I see that they are tense.

Let's keep trying to score!

Jeong Keun-woo is up again.

KEUN-WOO GOES FOR A BUNT AS WELL

LET'S STOP THEM

We can do this!

I WON'T ALLOW ANY MORE RUNS

When we get one out,
everything will work out.

HANIL'S DEFENSIVE SHIFT

-A slash bunt!
-He's in!

-There you go!
-It goes over third base!

-A slash bunt!
-He's in!

-There you go!
-It goes over third base!

-Yes!
-It's higher than his height!

HE'S IN! THERE YOU GO!

GO!

KEEP GOING!

All right.

GOOD!

Second base runner goes through third.
He's going for home.

HE ALMOST DROPS IT

He comes home safely!

A perfectly executed strategy!

The Monster manage to score a run
with a solid strategy.

KEUN-WOO EXECUTES IT PERFECTLY!

-My gosh.
-All right!

-Come here.
-Nice.

Come in here.

All right.

THEY ARE NOW 4 RUNS AHEAD!

-This is it.
-You did it.

Good batting.
Your slash bunt is so much better.

It's okay, just get one out!

It's fine. One at a time!

They are four runs behind.

The Monsters' attack is still ongoing.

RATTLE THEM MORE!

Lee Taek-keun also goes for a bunt.

We have to defend this time.

First baseman, come closer.
Others, stay in your positions.

A streak of bunts.

WILL IT BE A BUNT OR A FAKE BUNT?

The Monsters are driving
Hanil into the corner relentlessly!

MONSTERS 7 : 3 HANIL

WHAT IS THE BASEBALL GOD'S STRATEGY?

It's a real bunt this time!

CHAOTIC

-It works again.
-It's a real bunt this time!

And to first base!

He's out on first,
but the two runners advance a base.

Nice!

-Nice!
-Nice bunt!

-Let's go!
-Nice bunt!

It was a bunt this time.

You've been commentating on baseball
over ten years, right?

Yes.

Have you ever seen two fake bunt slashes
and a bunt back-to-back like this?

-Rarely.
-This is my first.

THIS IS CALLED STRATEGIC BASEBALL

FIRST AT-BAT, A DOUBLE PLAY

THIS TIME!

I WILL HIT IT!

LEE DAE-HO WHEN THEY'RE
IN SCORING POSITION?

Let him advance to first.

Sir.

INTENTIONAL BASE ON BALLS
MAYBE NEXT TIME

Gosh, they don't want you near the box.

Gosh.

Seong-hoon is better in this setup.

This is scary.

You didn't even go to the plate.

BASES LOADED WITH AN OUT

They skipped over Lee Dae-ho
with an intentional walk.

That means the bases are loaded
with one out.

But up next is our fourth hitter,
Jeong Seong-hoon.

-You're right.
-Yes.

Guys, we'll go for a double play.

Let's defend!

Infielders, let's get a double play!

The Monster's attack continues.

HE HITS!

Come on!

Jeong Seong-hoon's ball
rolls over to the second baseman.

-This is a double!
-A double!

OH, NO!

Hurry up and run!

To the second baseman.

From the second to the first.

First base, safe!

The runner on third returns,
and it counts as a point.

-Okay!
-Okay!

-Okay!
-Good!

Great job!

NICE HUSTLE

CK Monsters create a big inning!

The score is eight to three.

Instead of a grand move,
we made small plays

which landed us three points.

It was excellent.

On top of that, his hustle play
prevented a double play

and brought in another point
thanks to his dash.

That was quite meaningful.

I ran so hard to survive.

Two outs, runners on first and third.

Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

-Just one more.
-One more.

It's not in the zone. Four balls in a row.

HANIL UNIVERSITY ALLOWED THEM
TO LOAD ALL BASES AGAIN

A BASE ON BALLS, EXCELLENT

Seo Dong-wook walks on four balls.

Once again, bases loaded.

Kim Moon-ho is up.

If Kim Moon-ho hits a single,

our revenge will be complete.

WE'LL PAY BACK IN DOUBLE

Moon-ho, let's hit one right here.

Let's go!

HE HITS!

He pushes it out. Third baseman…

THE 3RD BASEMAN DROPS THE BALL!

Yes, run!

He pushes it out. Third baseman…

-Go!
-He drops the ball!

Safe on third!

We get one more point!

YES, THIS IS IT

-Okay!
-Nice!

Hanil University's fielders
who played perfectly

begin to waver
with the Monsters' strategy.

HANIL IS RUTHLESSLY SHAKEN

THE DIFFERENCE IS 6 POINTS!

We're finally warmed up!

-Witty play. Nice.
-It's over!

-All right!
-Nice!

I can finally smile.

They began to rush
because we had lots of runners.

I can smile now.

Yes, goodness.

Why are there always errors
when I'm around?

Everyone else ran with ease.

Two outs, bases loaded.
Three runners are on the field.

We're six points ahead,
but we should continue to push ahead.

As we play to the end,

the Monsters are running out
of pitchers we can use.

No, we don't have enough.

That's why Choi Soo-hyun
needs to make a hit.

He pulls it in!

Okay.

NO…

He pulls it in! It drops on the right.

This is it! Yes, this is it!

-This is it!
-Come in!

The runner on third is in.
The one on second runs too.

BUT THE RUNNER ON 2ND
CONTINUES TO RUN?

He stops before he's caught out.

DONG-WOOK THANKFULLY DECIDES TO STOP

-That's good. Good call.
-Good one!

Yet another point, ten to three.
Seven points difference.

-Good!
-That one's the problem.

THAT ONE = PARK YONG-TAEK

Yong-taek, stop making them run!

This isn't a marathon!

Why didn't you listen?

You'll be fined five million won.

IT'S HIS FAULT,
BUT HE'S SCOLDING DONG-WOOK

Both Seo Dong-wook and Choi Soo-hyun

get on base five times in a game.

Yes. The bottom of the lineup
shows a great performance today,

and Choi Soo-hyun shows
his best game yet today.

Yes, Choi Soo-hyun records
three hits, two walks, and five on-bases.

It's now Park Chan-hui's turn.

Let's stop them here!

Park Chan-hui has made
many strong hits today.

If he brings in all runners,
it'll be ten points difference.

Sorry about this, but please hit one more.

If you bring them all in,
we can end the game early.

Once again, the bases are loaded.

Swings and misses, strikeout.

AFTER LOSING 5 POINTS
JONG-HWAN FINALLY ENDS THE INNING

The inning ends.
CK Monsters scored five points

and made a successful inning.

Ten to three.
The difference is seven points.

Our 21st victory.

The victory to finalize
our .700 win percentage is

coming right before our eyes.

BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

The pitcher who'll keep
this difference is Yoo Hee-kwan.

If we win, it'll be his ninth victory.

That's crazy.

HE'S TRULY THE ACE

Hee-kwan, if we win,
it's your ninth victory.

HE MUST SECURE
HIS TEAM'S 21ST VICTORY

Leadoff batter is Park Ji-seong.

He also has made two hits today.

Let's walk out! Don't lose your heart!

Let's make it out!

-Strike!
-First pitch, strike.

Good!

Don't be sad about it.
You can't hit it anyway.

MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

A brushback. Foul.

NODS

ANOTHER FOUL

-Good!
-It's good! We can do this!

The more you watch him,
the slower you'll hit.

Yoo Hee-kwan fights
against Hanil University

with his experience and timing.

On the tip of the bat.

They never give up.

-They cut off a lot too.
-Yes.

Their spirit and persistence

make them really cool.

He makes good calls.

BUT I, YOO HEE-KWAN,
WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO GIVE UP

THE FIERY STRIKEOUT

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

-Okay, nice pitch.
-Good!

Hee-kwan, nice pitches!

Yoo Hee-kwan wins this fight.

Nice pitch!

He pitches slowly,
then suddenly comes in quickly.

It seemed like 140km/h.

He knows how to pitch
even when he isn't in good condition.

-He does.
-Yes.

Park Ju-seong is at bat now.

-Park Ju-seong hits. It skips off the bat.
-Okay!

-It flies up high.
-Okay!

The shortstop, Chi Seok-hoon,
easily catches. Two outs.

-Nice!
-Good one!

-So reliable!
-You're so reliable!

Only one out left,
and next up, batter two.

First-year, Kim Ho-beom.

GOODBYE
TWO STRIKEOUTS

Swings and misses, strikeout.

That's the ace of the Monsters,
Yoo Hee-kwan.

-Nice pitch!
-Great job!

Yoo Hee-kwan solidly paves
the Monsters' way

to our 21st victory.

A STEP CLOSER TO .700

Good work, Hee-kwan.

CLAPPING AUTOMATICALLY

-Keep it up.
-One sauna will fix that.

Just until the eighth.

-The eighth?
-Yes.

Manager Kim, Seung-jun is good to go.

Yes, until the eighth.

Come after three straight pitches.

Three straight pitches?

-Strike out each one.
-Each one?

EASY, ISN'T IT?

LAUGHING

Yoo Hee-kwan is back on the mound.

BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

He had pain in his shoulder,
so he couldn't pitch yesterday.

Yet today, he came out in a crisis
and pitched so well.

Thanks to him,
we can take our show to the next season

after just six more outs.

-That's right.
-It's an important match.

The game is starting to go our way.

Let's see how it ends.

WILL HE ALSO STOP
THE 8TH INNING CLEANLY?

The first batter is Kim Bo-seong.

HE MADE 4 HITS, 2 RBIS

First pitch!

First pitch, ball.

Was that a slider?

-A fastball, I think.
-A fastball?

COMPARED TO BEFORE,
HEE-KWAN'S PITCH SEEMS WEAKER

Yoo Hee-kwan has thrown 65 pitches now.

A low pitch.

3 BALLS

His arm isn't in good condition today.

But he's pitching for this one game.

I think it's correct to say that
the mind governs the body.

I thought we had to win this one.

Hang in there!

Three balls. It's out of the zone.

But it's too early to relax.

After three balls, another ball.
The first batter walks out.

No outs, a runner on first.

Find out

-about Song Seung-jun.
-Song Seung-jun?

MANAGER KIM GETS SONG SEUNG-JUN READY

-Seung-jun, are you okay?
-What?

-I should pitch. I'll pitch.
-Okay.

We need to get our revenge.

HE GOT SUBSTITUTED AFTER LOSING 3 POINTS

Kim Geon-ho is at bat.

-Gather more runners!
-Gather more runners!

Geon-ho, don't go out alone.

GROANING!

HE HITS!

It flies up high. Second baseman runs.

The right fielder comes down too.

-It's an odd position.
-Second base!

-What?
-A long hit!

-Go right!
-The ball!

The ball!

Okay.

-Come on!
-Man.

-What was that?
-What are you doing? Grab it!

THE RUNNERS EACH TAKE A BASE

No outs, runners on first and second.

THEIR CRISIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY!

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

What's wrong?

THE FIELDERS COULDN'T HELP HEE-KWAN

Soo-hyun, in this situation,

-you either follow quickly
-Yes.

-or call it out to let them know.
-Okay.

Hanil University has made
a big inning today too.

It was back in the fourth inning

when Oh Ju-won was out of energy.

Yes, you're right.

The timing
of our substitution is important.

When I looked at the dugout,
I hoped no one would come out.

I wanted to pitch.

Goodness.

-Just one more batter.
-Yes.

Kwak Dong-hyo is next at bat.

You can't go out, runners.

Stay in your spot.

Guys, let's focus!

Let's go! Focus!

The Monsters still have
two more innings to block.

I'LL STOP THEM HERE

This is an important moment.

IT'S THE FINAL CRISIS

Yoo Hee-kwan must stop them here.

MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

Kwak Dong-hyo.

HE HITS!

-Okay!
-Okay!

-Chi Seok-hoon!
-Shortstop catches, to second.

-And out on second!
-Yes, Chi Seok-hoon!

SEOK-HOON, THAT WAS INSANE

-Nice.
-What was that?

WHAT HAPPENED?

What just happened?

Chi Seok-hoon comes to save us
from this crisis!

Today's best fielder is
definitely Chi Seok-hoon.

That was a line drive.

When the fielder catches the ball,
if the runner isn't on base,

the runner is forced out.

Two outs.

Look. Both his knees are in the air.

He throws with his body in the air.

HE FLEW UP IN THE AIR
BUT THREW WITH ACCURACY

Nice. Hey, nice!

-Masan's Nichkhun.
-Chi Khun!

CONGRATS ON BECOMING A REGULAR

Timeout!

AND MANAGER KIM SUNG-GEUN
COMES ON THE MOUND

Good job, Hee-kwan.
Stop pretending like you're tired.

Cut it out.

Yes, cut it out.
That's an ace player's job.

He didn't say he'll sub you.

You're only assuming.

-He's just coming out.
-Yes.

Did you want to pitch?

I told you to pitch three, not a lot.

I'm sorry, sir!

-Good job.
-Yes, sir!

Good work!

-Good job.
-Yes, sir!

Good work!

-Thank you.
-Today's guardian angel, Yoo Hee-kwan,

-saves the day despite his condition.
-Go and rest.

He's done pitching here.

-Don't aim for their head.
-Yes.

-Don't aim for their head.
-Yes.

-The leader among pitchers,
-Are you okay?

Song Seung-Jun is next.

THE CLOSER, SONG SEUNG-JUN

Get your revenge, Seung-jun!

I was utterly destroyed yesterday.

I was so furious and feeling crazy.

So I was going to kill them all
if I got a chance,

and I surely did get one.

I WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT

Chu Jun-hyeok is at bat.

Chu Jun-hyeok, stay nervous.

MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

STRIKE

WHOA!

That was powerful!

His power is on the rise.

He didn't even eat
the lunch box yesterday.

He couldn't even eat yesterday
out of anger.

After I got destroyed yesterday,
I couldn't eat.

So I didn't turn down the fight.

"Go ahead and try. I'll pitch."
That's all I could think of.

STRIKE

-Hey!
-Good job!

That was a nice pitch.

You've improved after fasting yesterday!

New and improved Jun!

He throws well on an empty stomach.

Yes.

Two outs, a runner on first.

Song Seung-jun got two strikes so far.

STRIKEOUT

Swings and misses, strike out!

Song Seung-jun puts an end
to the bottom of the eighth.

MOUTHS SHUT…
I'M SORRY…

-You'll go up to 145km/h.
-No.

You got your revenge.

-Hey, I knew it.
-You can eat today.

RETURNING IN GLORY

TWO THUMBS UP

Nice job, Mount Seorak Song Sam-bong.

THE GREAT PEAKS CHEONWANGBONG,
DAECHEONGBONG, AND SONG SAM-BONG

Only three outs left

until the 21st victory
and the dream win percentage.

I'm starting to feel my heart swell
at the bottom of the 9th.

A little, right? Me too.

I just realized this.

Look at Song Seung-jun's number

on the mound.

SURPRISED

-He was number 21!
-Yes.

Our 21st victory,
and the 21st closing pitcher

is number 21, Song Seung-jun.

NUMBER 21
SONG SEUNG-JUN

The pinch hitter, Park Jin-hyeong.

The leading pitcher,
Song Seung-jun pitches.

And this pitch is

another step he takes
toward their 21st victory.

STRIKE

-First pitch, strike.
-Strike! Nice.

BOLD FASTBALL
DROPS THE FIRST PITCH

That was 140km/h!

NICE FASTBALL

STRIKE

WHAT WAS THAT?
CAN'T EVEN FLINCH

Seung-jun, you're back!

It went from twelve o'clock
to six o'clock.

IS HE A BOAR?
HE JUST CHARGES HEAD-ON…

I needed to put an end to them
to let our team win.

I pitched like an angry boar.

THE BOAR'S FASTBALL
TWO STRIKEOUTS

Swings and misses, strikeout.

Two batters were struck out.

-That's it!
-Great job!

We're almost there!

We only have two outs left

until we reach our goal and our dream.

Next up, Moon Jong-yun.

NEXT, BATTER 8, MOON JONG-YUN

MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

-Strike.
-Strike.

NICE PITCH

Nice pitch!

MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

STRIKE

Two strikes.

It's a chance to end this game.

He pitches with everything he has.

ONLY 18,44M BETWEEN EACH OTHER

This is it, Song Sam-bong!

Give him two lunch boxes today.

Moon Jong-yun swings and misses.
Strikeout!

THE CRAZY FIGHTER
STRUCK OUT THREE BATTERS!

AMAZED

He struck out two batters in a row
in this inning.

And from the last inning,
that's three batters in a row.

IS THIS REAL?

We really got a .700 win percentage?

Every single player put in
everything they had.

Every player was
willing to sacrifice themselves.

The dream that they all made together,
our 21st victory

is right before our eyes.

Kang Eun-ho is next at bat.

READY FOR .700 WIN PERCENTAGE

So how are we going to get
our 21st victory?

One out left.

THE ONLY WAY

TO GET THROUGH THAT TINY DOOR

IS BECOMING SMALLER

BY CUTTING AND SHARPENING ME

I DO NOT EVEN HAVE

ANYTHING MORE TO THROW OUT

THEN I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR

AND FOUND WHAT'S LEFT, MY PRIDE

THE HOMETOWN I LEFT BEHIND

THE FACES I MISS

WARM DINNER AND LAUGHTER

I SHAKE MY HEAD
AND FORGET EVERYTHING

AS I LISTEN TO THE SOUND

THAT CALLS ME

THAT TELLS ME TO GO WITHOUT CEASING

THAT PLACE WHERE RIVERS FLOW IN

THAT DEEP PLACE
UNDER THE RAGING WAVES

IF I CAN REACH THERE

JUST ONCE

Two strikes!

ONE DAY UNTIL MY HEART BURSTS

-He'll get another strikeout
-It'll be four strikeouts.

Let's end it with a strikeout!

I WILL CRY AND SMILE

AND END THIS LONG JOURNEY

Strike!

NO REGRETS
FOUR STRIKEOUTS

-He takes our 21st victory!
-Strikeout!

The game ends!

MONSTERS 10 : 3 HANIL

The dream win percentage
no one could ever imagine!

-Yes!
-But we made it happen!

CK Monsters take

their 21st victory!

They've done so well.

It's emotional to see

our team cheer and shout.

You did it!

We created this dream victory,
this dream win percentage!

-You did it.
-Yes, we did it!

-Good job.
-Okay!

Many people in their forties
and fifties watch them play

and feel encouraged to get back up.

THAT PLACE WHERE RIVERS FLOW IN

THAT DEEP PLACE
UNDER THE RAGING WAVES

IF I CAN REACH THERE JUST ONCE

ONE DAY UNTIL MY HEART BURSTS

I WILL CRY AND SMILE

AND END THIS LONG JOURNEY

WITHOUT REGRETS

Goodness, we did it. It's 21 victories.

TO FIND OUT WHAT NO ONE TELLS ME

This is amazing.

TO KNOW

WHO I REALLY AM

Let's do the closing right away.

CK Monsters.

-Great job.
-We reach our goal in our 28th game.

That's all for today.

That was commentator Kim Sun-woo
and caster Jeong Yong-geom.

-We did it.
-Thank you for watching.

We made this thing happen.

A CLEAN SWEEP

Over my time with A Clean Sweep,
I feel touched quite often.

Man, I'm choking up.

One second.

Yes.

Anyhow, it wasn't a matter of getting
season two of A Clean Sweep.

It's just very moving for me.

We did it.

We did it!

You look different from yesterday.

CONFIDENCE TO THE MAX

I couldn't breathe yesterday.

I couldn't breathe.

I think I'm seriously moody.

Is it worse than professional baseball?

Yes, it felt like
I lost seven games in a row.

Let me just tell you a few facts.

CK Monsters was

founded in a theater back on April 18th.

And today, it has been
211 days since that day.

-That's a while.
-That's almost…

We have played 28 games so far,

and we won 21 and lost 7.

We're a team
with the impossible .700 win percentage.

IT'S ACTUALLY .750
WE'RE A TEAM WITH .700 WIN PERCENTAGE?

I set out a seemingly impossible goal,

but this team made
that impossibility possible.

I'd like to thank every single player.

BOWS

It's all thanks to you.

-Looking cool!
-It was you.

Our first manager, Manager Lee Seung-yuop,

played a big role in 21 victories,
so let's give him a hand.

Yes, right.

HE DID PLAY A BIG PART

Looking great!

Dae-ho, make a speech.

BIG SMILE

I watched this show on TV often,

then came here wanting to help.

And we lost one of the games, right?

We were more depressed
than a professional team.

I realized that the team

and the production crew were
all serious about baseball.

That helped me play even harder.

Anyhow, we all did this together,
so I hope we all continue as a team.

It's only been four days for me,

but it felt like an entire year.

Yes, really.

I woke up at three, four in the morning.
I was very serious.

BASEBALL GOD OPENS UP

I thought, "What do we do if we lose?"

Anyway, I'm even happier to know

all 200 of us can stay together.

The man who took our 21st victory
with three strikeouts,

player number 21, a speech?

When we were first founded
and began working out in Toegyewon,

the pitchers kept saying,
"We can't win 21 games."

We thought it was impossible.

I'm so glad I got to play
with such great teammates,

and I want to tell them
that it had been an honor.

Lastly, let's hear from our captain,
who led the team.

When you mentioned 21 victories,

I knew baseball variety shows
were difficult

and I thought, "He has no intention
of keeping the show long-running."

That's all I had on my mind,

but we did it in the end.

I believe each and every person
was serious about winning.

Let's all clap for us.

WE'VE DONE WELL

And here's an announcement.

We have one new player
who'll join us as a member.

-What?
-Our semi-regular player,

Chi Seok-hoon is officially on our team!

CHI SEOK-HOON IS OFFICIALLY IN!

MASAN'S NICHKHUN IS
APPROVED AS A MEMBER AT LAST

WELCOME,
IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME AS A REGULAR

First off, this feels great.

And I'm glad we won today

and got to keep this going
until next year.

It feels significant to join you
on this meaningful day.

Thank you.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M A REGULAR NOW!

And I have good news.

He also became a coach for NC Dinos!

DUMBFOUNDED
LEAVING AS SOON AS HE BECAME A MEMBER

This is quite brutal.

Many are joining professional teams.

Do bad players get kicked out?

SMILEY

FLINCHES

-Who is it?
-He asked if bad ones are out.

We were going to kick people out
if we drop below .700.

He's the most likely.

But you can't do without me.

CAPTAIN AND THE MOST LIKELY
TO GET KICKED OUT

Let me announce today's MVP.

-Right away?
-Right away.

-Now.
-No candidates.

WHO'S THE MVP OF THIS SPECIAL DAY?

It was tough to choose the MVP,

so Manager Kim will make the choice!

Yoo Hee-kwan.

WHY CAN'T YOU CHOOSE?

TODAY'S MVP, YOO HEE-KWAN!

SURPRISED

Head of the team.

-Yoo Hee-kwan!
-Yoo Hee-kwan!

-He's the president.
-That's so cool.

-He has five!
-The President.

-He's the president.
-Gosh, five.

-Five stars.
-The president.

Manager Kim only likes pitchers!

He gets five stars!

HE HAS FIVE STARS!

-He deserves it.
-He does.

He likes pitchers.

Soo-hyun was good too.

-He went out five times today.
-Yes, he did well.

ALWAYS DELIVERS
ALREADY THE FIFTH MVP

-Thank you.
-Okay.

Missing hair.

GRINS

A PITCHER WITHOUT HAIR

You lost a lot.

Let's not mess with hair.

Here.

HERE, THE DOLLS

-Thank you.
-Good.

Thank you!

I'M NOT JEALOUS…
CLAPPING WITHOUT HEART

He's the first five-star general
in A Clean Sweep!

OUR FIRST 5-STAR GENERAL!

First off, I'm happy. I am.

I was lucky enough
to play with a good team

and won the Korean Series three times.

When we all ran out after today's game,

I was as happy as winning the series.

That's how happy I was,

and I'm glad we'll stay together
for the next season.

I'll always do my best
and pitch on the mound.

Thank you.

SOULLESS
CONGRATULATIONS

He's eloquent too.

-Five stars.
-I'm jealous.

Let me tell you about our next match.

It'll be held in five days
in Jamsil Baseball Stadium,

a game with spectators against the Bears,

led by Manager Lee Seung-yuop.

Both infield
and outfield stands are sold out.

It's a big game.

THE MONSTERS' BIGGEST GAME YET

The pressure is too much.

EVEN DAE-HO'S SCARED

So much pressure.

Manager Kim, tell us
how we're going to play.

A game is a game.
No matter who the opponent is,

-we must fight and win.
-Yes.

That's all.

THERE'S NO LOSING FOR THE BASEBALL GOD!

Manager Kim said it.
We have to win no matter what.

Since we can put down
a little bit of pressure,

we'll make sure we destroy them.

He always wanted to make sure
he destroys Doosan.

I somehow feel even more so.

I see.

Dae-ho, I want to see you hit a home run.

Please, no pressure.

Baseball isn't that easy.

But I do feel different.

Because Manager Lee Seung-yuop
told me to join the team,

then ran off.

So to be honest,
I'm feeling quite competitive.

-I'll do my best.
-All right.

Please keep your condition up,
and I'll see you in Jamsil in five days.

Let's wrap it up.

WE FINALLY GET TO GO HOME!

EXHAUSTED

I'm too tired to walk.

We can put the pressure down,

so let's have fun on Sunday
and destroy them.

Let's go.

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

See you in Jamsil!

28 GAMES 21 WINS 7 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE .750

I'm Lee Seung-yuop,

the new manager of Doosan Bears.
Nice to meet you.

The teacher and his student
play against each other.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

First batter, Heo Kyoung-min.

He's the third baseman
of the national team.

The national team's third baseman
is here to get Yoo Hee-kwan.

Get on base!

He pulls it in.
It flies over the shortstop.

FROM THE START,
THE BEARS ARE ON FIRE

He slides on second base.

THE BEARS ARE UNSTOPPABLE

WE WON'T LOSE EITHER

THE CLEAN-UP MAN
OF THE MONSTERS IS HERE

-Dae-ho!
-Dae-ho!

POWER UP
HE HITS!

THE MONSTERS BECAME STRONGER

-He's the fourth batter of the Monsters!
-Okay.

THE STRONGEST BEARS

CK MONSTERS

The final game of A Clean Sweep.

WHO WILL BECOME
THE STRONGEST TEAM OF ALL?
