CK MONSTERS WON 3 GAMES IN A ROW

CK Monsters is faced with a crisis

after three consecutive wins.

THEY'RE AGAINST A COLLEGE TEAM
FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE BEST COLLEGE BASEBALL TEAM
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

THEY'RE DIFFERENT
FROM THE PREVIOUS OPPONENTS

He bunts!

-Go!
-It worked.

-He caught it.
-That's it.

WE MUST WIN NO MATTER WHAT

WE MUST STOP THEM BY ALL MEANS



COMPETING FOR THE MAIN CATCHER POSITION
YOON JUN-HO

VERSUS LEE HONG-KU

A hit-by-pitch.

A GAME TOUGHER THAN EVER

IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT THE WINNER

It flies high!

Today's game begins now!

It's a war.

THE CRAZY GAME BEGINS NOW

Hello.

I used to play for Lotte.

Now I'm a manager at Dong-eui University.
I'm Jung Bo-myung.

-Hello.
-Hello.

The goal of this show
is to make the best baseball team.



You can take my team.

Is Dong-eui the best team?

We play solid baseball.

Our defense is good. Our offense is good.

We pitch well.

Play a game with us.

CONFIDENT

-You've heard of our members.
-Yes, I've heard.

Can you beat us?

You said we'd make a bet.

LET'S MAKE A BET

What do you want to bet on?

Do you want to bet on a scoreboard?

If we lose, we'll put it up.

If we win, you put one up for us.

That sounds good.

We're so confident that we won't lose.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

I feel the same.

LIKEWISE(?)

I believe the game you play with us

will be the biggest game.

That's what I think.

-I see.
-Yes.

SUWON WIZ PARK

MONSTERS VS DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

THEY'RE GETTING READY
TO GREET THE MONSTERS

WITH REAL GRASS FIELD

AND A LOCKER ROOM
ONLY FOR THE MONSTERS

HOME TEAM LOCKER ROOM

They decorated the room. Nice.

They put medals here too.

-MVP medals.
-Unbelievable.

Shouldn't we get rid of that?

YOON JUN-HO

-Take it off.
-Get rid of it.

Put it away for a moment.

LET'S PUT HIM WHERE HE BELONGS

-Why did they make one for Jun-ho?
-Exactly.

He's still on our team.

We'll decide today
whether he's still on our team or not.

CUTTING HIM OFF

YOON JUN-HO, WAIT RIGHT THERE!

-Hong-ku, you look determined.
-What?

Will you leave without a word today?

-What?
-Determined Hong-ku.

-You have to show them.
-What?

Show the difference between
the main and the backup catchers.

LAUGHING…

Hong-ku, you have a good batting average.

-You're as good as him.
-Jun-ho is much better.

-There isn't much difference.
-No, there's a big difference.

The difference is .300.

-The difference is .300?
-Yes.

It's Lee Hong-ku versus Yoon Jun-ho.

LEE HONG-KU VS YOON JUN-HO

Show them what a professional is.

The starting pitcher brought something.

-I brought an item.
-An item.

-Is it a zebra? He brought a zebra.
-A zebra?

USING AN ITEM

(RESOLUTE)

You're playing after a month of hiatus.

FACT ATTACK

HE WAS FORCED TO REST(?)
AFTER THE FIRST GAME

Because…

you pitched on April 25. Today is May 23.

It hasn't been a month yet.
Thank goodness.

Soo-chang,
how many innings will you pitch?

-I'll pitch five innings.
-Five innings?

-Six innings tops.
-How many lost points?

-What?
-How many lost points?

Five innings and two lost points?

-He'll lose points.
-Two lost points?

-He's thinking about losing points.
-Two lost points.

-Hello.
-Hello.

THE MANAGER WALKS IN

-Hello.
-Hello.

EVERYONE STANDS UP

Goodness.

There are some changes
in our lineup today.

Because our catcher is gone.

CATCHER DISAPPEARED(?)

-But he's here.
-He's here.

-No, the main catcher is gone.
-I see.

-Are you the main catcher?
-Pardon?

-Are you the main catcher?
-I'm first baseman.

NO, I'M 1ST BASEMAN(?)

He's upset.

You look different when you're a catcher

-and when you're the first baseman.
-Totally different.

You look different
when you're a starter and when you're not.

You two look pasty.

Today, number one

-is Jeong Keun-woo.
-Okay.

He frowned last time
when he was number two.

Because it keeps changing.

HE'S NUMBER 1 BATTER AGAIN

-Number two, Taek-keun.
-Yes.

Center.

-Number three, DH, Yong-taek.
-Yes.

Number four, left, Eui-yoon.

Yes.

-Eui-yoon.
-Yes.

-You trust… You really…
-Well…

JUNG EUI-YOON, NUMBER 4 BATTER
.200 BATTING AVERAGE, 0 HOME RUN

Don't you think you trust him too much?

It reminds me of the Beijing Olympics.

BASEBALL OF FAITH(?)

-He's like Beijing's fourth batter.
-He trusts him

-like Manager Kim Kyung-moon.
-It's his painful past.

He learned it from then.

He'll hit one day.
He'll hit within the eighth inning.

Today could be your last.

It really can be your last.

-We'll have to see.
-I want you to do well today.

Number five, first base, Dong-wook.

Yes.

-Number six, right, Moon-ho.
-Yes.

-Number seven, catcher, Hong-ku.
-Yes.

-Number eight, third, Hyun-in.
-Yes.

Number nine, shortstop, Kyeong-been.

Yes.

We have good news.

Last week, Han Kyeong-been

signed a contract with a pro team.

He signed a contract.

CONGRATULATIONS
HAN KYEONG-BEEN JOINED THE EAGLES

The best of the Monsters.

I learned a lot
from playing baseball with you.

I believe that's why I had a good result.

I'll work hard and be a good
professional baseball player like you.

TODAY IS HIS LAST GAME
WITH THE MONSTERS

Starting pitcher is Shim Soo-chang.

-Yes.
-Nice.

STARTING PITCHER SHIM SOO-CHANG

SUPER NERVOUS

Do we need to clap?

Number two, Dae-eun.

-Second?
-Yes.

-Number three, Hee-kwan.
-Yes.

-You have to end it there.
-Yes.

-There's nobody after you.
-No.

-Number four, Seung-jun.
-Yes.

-Seung-jun, are you okay?
-Yes, I am.

Today, it's Dong-eui University.

You'll play college students.

Even though Duksoo and Choongam

are the best high school teams,

I still think Dong-eui University
is better than them.

You'll have to play harder today.

After the last game,
after playing four games,

you might lose for the first time.
It's a really important game.

We want to make
something impossible possible.

That's why we're CK Monsters.

Please keep that in mind
when you play today.

CK MONSTERS VERSUS
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

CK Monsters is on a winning streak
and it's facing the biggest crisis.

Hello, the best college team Dong-eui

will be playing against CK Monsters.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with me.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Let's go,
-Let's go,

-CK Monsters!
-CK Monsters!

CK MONSTERS
3 GAMES, 3 WINS, 0 LOSSES

MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP

THE 3RD OPPONENT OF THE MONSTERS

One, two, three!

3-TIME WINNER
OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

As I said, it's the biggest crisis.

Finally, CK Monsters
will play a college team.

DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

MANAGER JUNG BO-MYUNG

COACH CHONG TAE-HYON
LEAD TEAM TO WIN GOLD MEDAL IN BEIJING

College students are powerful.

So I believe today will be a tough game.

That's right.

We'll play a winning game for sure.

Trust me.

They may have won three times.

But they're only at high school level.

We'll show what a college team can do.
It's time for them to be warned.

The Monsters won three games.

I'll prove that it was all thanks to me.

Catcher Yoon Jun-ho

has the best betting average
within the Monsters.

Now he'll play for Dong-eui University.

He'll play against
the starter Shim Soo-chang.

But, well,

I don't think he's much of a threat.

-What?
-I mean, Yoon Jun-ho.

He has the best batting average.

He was your favorite player.

-Was he? I liked Lee Hong-ku only.
-Come on.

I believe Catcher Lee Hong-ku
will be overwhelmingly good.

Just because he'll play against us…

Last week,

you said Yoon Jun-ho
was the main catcher of the Monsters.

-I never said that.
-Really?

Dong-eui University.
Kang Jun-seo, Park Jae-seong,

Yoo Tae-ung, Lee Jin-seok, An Hyeon-tae,

Son Si-hu, Yoon Jun-ho, Wi Jeong-hyeon,

and Jung Ung-chan
are included in the lineup.

Starting pitcher is Son Min-gyu.

As you can see, the match
between the main catchers

Lee Hong-ku and Yoon Jun-ho
will be the biggest point.

TOP OF THE 1ST INNING
DONG-EUI 0 : 0 MONSTERS

Starting pitcher
Shim Soo-chang is on the mound.

This is

his second time to play
as the starting pitcher.

RETURN OF THE STARTING PITCHER

The first batter Kang Jun-seo is at bat.

Let's go, Jun-seo!

-Yes!
-Go!

He's a good hitter.

-They say he is the fastest one.
-He's good.

I saw Dong-eui play last year

during scouting, they're good batters.

THE FIRST GAME WITH A COLLEGE TEAM

FAMOUS COLLEGE PLAYER JUN-SEO

I think he'll be more powerful
than high school students.

It's a fight against myself.

I believe I should do better
than in the first game.

Let's go.

SOO-CHANG'S FIRST PITCH

STRIKE

It was a fastball, a strike.

A GOOD FIRST PITCH

STRIKE

HIS PITCH IS CRAZY TODAY

Shim Soo-chang
throws a breaking ball, another strike.

A SHARP BREAKING BALL

WOW…

He's more relaxed
compared to the first game.

SOO-CHANG'S PITCHING IS STABLE

HE HITS!

He hits the dropping ball.
It flies to center-left.

Outfielders go after it. Left and center.

It falls right in front of the fence.

Run!

KANG JUN-SEO, RUN

DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY'S SUPER SONIC

THAT DUDE IS REALLY FAST

BEFORE THE BALL FALLS,

HE GOES PAST 1ST BASE ALREADY

The runner already goes past second base.
He goes to third base.

The ball is thrown to third base.

He slides in.

The first batter hit a third-base run.

KANG JUN-SEO SHOWED SUWON
WHAT HE'S MADE OF!

CK Monsters are faced with a crisis again.

DRINKING FROM THE CAN FROM THE START

College students are different.

TAKEN ABACK

He runs fast, and he's powerful.

As you said, high school students
couldn't handle

Shim Soo-chang's dropping breaking ball.

But college students
can hit extra-base hits.

I thought it skipped off the bat.

The outfielders moved up to play defense.

But it didn't work.

College students have power

and they're skillful.

So Shim Soo-chang
will feel a lot of pressure.

No outs.
Runner is on third base for Dong-eui.

THEY MIGHT LOSE POINTS
FROM THE FIRST INNING

The second batter
Park Jae-seong is at bat.

They need to watch out for him.

Last year,

he had a batting average of .400
in the college league.

He's really good.

Runner is on third base, so Shim Soo-chang

-has to strike out the batter first.
-Right.

KANG JUN-SEO IS QUICK ON HIS FEET

-Let's go.
-Good luck.

-You can do it.
-Let's go.

BALL

He's trying to pitch breaking balls.

But the college students
easily discern his balls.

It's a high ball.

NO, YOU CAN'T FOOL ME

The breaking ball didn't work.
The fastball didn't work.

Neither slider nor forkball worked.

I couldn't throw anything.
I was just out of breath.

Shim Soo-chang's crisis.

FOUR BALLS

The ball slips. Four balls.

It's okay.

Give what you need to give.

WALKING TO 1ST BASE

Three-base hit and four balls.

College students are different.
They're focused.

Dae-eun, you should
get ready to pitch after 65.

Okay.

-Warm up after 50.
-Okay.

PITCHERS ARE IN A PANIC

If it suddenly gets worse,
get ready to move.

MANAGER LEE IS RAISING THE STAKES

-The starting atmosphere is the worst.
-Yes.

The third batter Yoo Tae-ung is at bat.

Kang Jun-seo is on third base,
and Park Jae-seong is on first.

The third batter Yoo Tae-ung is at bat.

YOO TAE-UNG: HE HIT IN EVERY GAME
IN THE COLLEGE LEAGUE

No outs. Runners
are on first and third bases.

Let them score one point.

They need to check the runners
and get the batter.

Yes.

Give it to them.

NO OUTS,
RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD BASES

HOW WILL SOO-CHANG GO THROUGH THIS?

He hits. It's high.

A HIT?

Up front.

He hits. It's high.

-Left. It's sharp.
-Up front.

HOME!

-Run!
-Go! Okay!

It's close!

RUNNING AT FULL SPEED

Home!

The ball is thrown to home plate.
It's a tag-up. He slides in.

DONG-EUI 1 : 0 MONSTERS

HE SCORED FIRST BY RUNNING FAST

-Nice.
-Let's go.

Dong-eui scores first.

It's one to zero. Dong-eui scores first.

They hit well.

UNEASY

They aren't like high school students.

COLLEGE BASEBALL IS DIFFERENT

If it goes like this…

DONG-EUI IS STONGER THAN EXPECTED

Seriously,
this will be their worst crisis.

1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

Number four batter Lee Jin-seok is at bat.

THE MAIN BATTERS CONTINUE
TO PLAY OFFENSE

HE NEEDS TO STOP
THEIR FLOW OF ATTACK

One by one!

BE CALM

SOO-CHANG IS IN CRISIS

Shim Soo-chang's crisis continues.

CAN SOO-CHANG STRIKE HIM OUT?

BALL

2 BALLS

GRUNTING

Jeez.

DON'T FALL APART…

He can't break down.

SOO-CHANG IS SHAKING

Take it easy.

CATCHER HONG-KU LEADS SOO-CHANG

Keep it up.

DONG-EUI 1 : 0 MONSTERS

GROANING

PARK JAE-SEONG TRIES TO STEAL BASE

HONG-KU!

THROW!

WHAT'S THE RESULT
OF JAE-SEONG'S SLIDING?

-He's running.
-He started to run.

-But he's out on second base.
-Out!

HONG-KU, NICE!

Hong-ku!

MONSTERS' MAIN CATCHER LEE HONG-KU

YOU'RE THE MAIN CATCHER

IT WAS A NICE START TO STEALING BASE

BUT HONG-KU THREW BETTER

Lee Hong-ku's shoulders
attacked the runner.

I told you.

This is Hong-ku.

It was a perfect throw by Lee Hong-ku.

I trusted him.

Until last week,
you praised Yoon Jun-ho only.

You said Hong-ku was first baseman.

He used to be a professional player.

He's better than Jun-ho.

-Good.
-All of a sudden.

Seriously.

The atmosphere was pretty bad.
He stopped the flow of the game.

Shim Soo-chang has to cheer up.

Yes.

He's faced with various crises,

but he has to pitch
more confidently and aggressively.

(SOO-CHANG, I BELIEVE IN YOU)

He can't throw four balls.

It goes far. Four balls.

GOODNESS…

HONG-KU'S HELP ISN'T ENOUGH

There is only one out left.

Shim Soo-chang threw four balls twice.

Let's go.

AN HYEON-TAE: SENIOR, LEFT FIELDER

OUTSTANDING QUALITY OF CONTACT

Slowly.

Two outs. Focus on the batter.

THERE'S ONLY 1 OUT LEFT

THE FIRST PITCH IS A FOUL

LET'S GET THEM ONE BY ONE!

WE CAN'T LOSE ANY MORE POINTS

HE HITS!

He hits.

Second baseman Jeong Keun-woo catches it.

It's thrown to first base.
Runner is out. Three outs.

Dong-eui scored a point
with Kang Jun-seo's three-base hit.

Starting pitcher Shim Soo-chang
let them score

only one point.

-Starting pitcher.
-Good job.

-Good job.
-Good job.

HAPPY

-Good job.
-Okay.

Good!

-Good defense.
-I'm sorry.

Don't be.

-Nice catch, Hong-ku.
-Good defense.

Good defense.

I was lucky.

CATCHER HONG-KU IS CHEERFUL

BUT SOO-CHANG IS DYING

Don't use too much strength.

-Don't strain yourself.
-Let's go!

Throw hard at one or two batters
and take it easy on the others.

-College players are certainly different.
-Yes.

-They rarely swing and miss.
-No.

They're different.

CK Monsters are one point behind.
It's the bottom of the first inning.

Today, Yoon Jun-ho is the catcher

and Son Min-gyu is the pitcher.

DONG-EUI'S MAIN CATCHER YOON JUN-HO

Jun-ho, no, don't do that.

I'm the youngest Monster.

But I'm the captain
of Dong-eui University.

Today, I'll show you
how strong Dong-eui is.

You'll see how I lead my players
by helping them not be nervous.

LAUGHING

Son Min-gyu pitched 27,2 innings.

Three wins
and the earned run average is zero.

You can say that
CK Monsters have Yoo Hee-kwan

and Dong-eui has Son Min-gyu.

Anyway, he didn't lose any points
over 27 innings.

He's probably good.

Except for Jeong Keun-woo,
everyone is slow.

Go slow and be precise. Okay?

Manager Jung wants to be on TV a lot.

DISTURBED

CK Monsters are behind by one point.

The first batter Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

STRIKE

The first pitch wasn't a fastball
that came straight.

It dropped a little.

So I thought there would be
a lot of infield ground balls.

SON MIN-GYU IS STRONGER
SEEN FROM THE BATTER'S BOX

BALL

-Yes!
-Nice ball.

It was a two-seam. It was very good.

That's Coach Chong Tae-hyon.

I'M A DESCENDANT OF CHONG TAE-HYON

HE'S PRETTY GOOD(?)

Jeong Keun-woo just nodded.

-It's like he's saying, "Okay. I checked."
-That's right.

I'LL SHOW YOU WHY I'M A PRO

But Starter Son Min-gyu
would have a bit of regret.

He's struck by a pitched ball.

OUCH!

I'M GOING TO FIRST BASE!

Hey!

I'M SORRY

Jeong Keun-woo gets hit
and he goes to first base.

HE'S JUST HAPPY
THAT THE FIRST BATTER GOT ON BASE

-Hello.
-Nice pitch.

KEUN-WOO GOES ON 1ST BASE
BY A DEAD BALL

He pitches well.

It sinks a little.

I see.

First batter was awarded first base
due to a hit-by-pitch.

-Hello.
-Hi.

WHEN YOU NEED A HIT

V! Let's go!

-Lee Taek-keun!
-Lee Taek-keun!

The second batter Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

-Another pitch close to the body.
-That was dangerous.

It's okay. Focus.

Be calm.

BAM!

HE HITS!

He hits.

-It falls behind shortstop.
-Right.

He successfully blocks it. Infield hit.

LUCKY INFIELD HIT

KEUN-WOO REACHES 2ND BASE

A hit-by-pitch and an infield hit.

No outs and runners
are on first and second bases.

THE MONSTERS HAVE A CHANCE TO SCORE

CAPTAIN TAEK SHOWS UP
WHEN THERE'S A CHANCE

I thought I needed
to turn the tables around.

CHANGE TO SCORE

Show them!

CAPTAIN, SHOW THEM!

Park Yong-taek's batting average
has gone up to .364.

-He hit a home run in the previous game.
-He hit a home run.

The third batter Park Yong-taek.

The third batter Park Yong-taek.

BAM!

He hits the ball toward the body.

It flies high, but it doesn't go far.

The right fielder catches it.

He's running!

Throw it!

No!

IT'S TOO SHORT TO TAG UP

He's running!

-Go!
-Good!

The ball is thrown to third base.
Jeong Keun-woo is safe.

NICE PLAY

That was an amazing run.

Jeong Keun-woo advances a base.

KEUN-WOO MOVING UP TO 3RD BASE
PUT PRESSURE ON THE PITCHER

As you said, now they can catch up

-with an outfield fly ball.
-Yes.

The fourth batter Jung Eui-yoon with
a batting average of .200 is at bat.

Live up to our expectations.

EUI-YOON, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT

Manager Lee keeps trusting him.

FOUL

Jeez. Seriously.

You'll get the timing.

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JUNG EUI-YOON

STOP THE .200 BATTING AVERAGE BATTER

Manager Lee is playing baseball of trust.

Will Jung Eui-yoon score
as the fourth batter today?

HE HITS!

FINALLY

REPAY THE FAITH?

It falls in front of the left fielder.
It's a timely hit.

HE DID IT!

-He did it!
-Yes!

FINALLY, HE SHOWED
THE FRUIT OF FAITH

KEUN-WOO CASUALLY TOUCHES HOME PLATE

DONG-EUI 1 : 1 MONSTERS

The fourth batter Jung Eui-yoon
made third base runner enter home.

CK Monsters' fourth batter

scored at his first bat.

PROUD

HOORAY, WE'RE TIED

Manager Lee's baseball of faith is showing

good results from the first inning.

They're tied at one to one.

MIN-GYU LET THEM CATCH UP

I'll request a timeout.

Look, Min-gyu.

You aren't yourself on the mound.

Be confident. It's okay to be hit.

Look what happened.

-It's okay to be hit.
-Yes.

-Pitch with confidence. Okay?
-Yes.

INSTRUCTING HIM
TO PITCH WITH CONFIDENCE

Let's have fun.

One out.
Runners are on first and second bases.

Taek-keun is in a scoring position.

TAEK-KEUN AND EUI-YOON

The Monsters have to score a lot
in the beginning.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE SCORING

Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

He is CK Monsters' batter
with .400 batting average.

His batting average is .444 this season.

THE MONSTERS' FIERCE BATTER

Dong-wook has a great batting average,

but when it comes to scoring,
it's zero hits in four at-bats.

He did score,
but that was a sacrifice hit.

DONG-WOOK IS WEAK AT SCORING

IT'S A SCORING MATCH WITH MIN-GYU

Min-gyu, you need to do this.

SIGHING

STRIKE

STRIKE HIM OUT

WILL THE HOME RUN BATTER
DONG-WOOK STEP DOWN?

One out.
Runners are on first and second bases.

THEY'RE READY TO RUN

WILL HE TURN THE TABLES AROUND?

OR WILL HE SAVE A RUN?

It bounces high.

GROUND BALL BOUNCES OVER THE PITCHER

It goes over the pitcher.
Shortstop sends it to first base.

-The batter is out on first base.
-Okay.

Now it's two outs.
Lee Taek-keun goes on third base.

RUNNERS ON 2ND, 3RD BASE

Let's go, Moon-ho!

Raise it up.

The runners moved up a base.

Two runners are in scoring positions.

Now Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

Now that we have runners
in scoring positions,

he needs to focus.

HE DIDN'T TAKE AN ACTIVE PART
IN THE FIRST GAME

-I think he'll hit.
-I think so.

EUI-YOON IS SECOND BASE RUNNER

TAEK-KEUN IS THIRD BASE RUNNER

KIM MOON-HO CAN HAVE EVERYONE SCORE!

WHAT WILL BE MIN-GYU'S
DECIDING PITCH IN A CRISIS?

The sixth batter Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

He hits the first pitch!

HE HIT IT WELL!

Yes!

That's it!

NO, MOON-HO!

-He hits the first pitch!
-He did it!

The right fielder catches it.

Three outs.

CK Monsters caught up
in the bottom of the first inning.

The score is one to one.
CK Monsters' fourth game just started.

Moon-ho only shows possibility.

Don't make us startled.

LET'S PLAY 2ND INNING

It's the top of the second inning.
Dong-eui will bat.

WITH EUI-YOON'S TIMELY HIT,
THE SCORE IS TIED

WHICH TEAM WILL BREAK THE BALANCE?

This is important.

Let's go.

Shim Soo-chang is back on the mound.

SOO-CHANG BARELY DEFENDED
THE 1ST INNING

WILL HE BE ABLE
TO DEFEND THE 2ND INNING?

The sixth batter Son Si-hu is at bat.

STRIKE

-Nice ball!
-Good!

-Good.
-It's over 130km/h.

THANK GOODNESS

I think he's fine now.

SOO-CHANG LOOKS LIKE
HE'S GETTING SETTLED

FOUL

-Nice ball.
-Good.

Throw big.

FAVORABLE BALL COUNT

Shim Soo-chang pitched two strikes.
It's a favorable ball count.

-Let's go!
-Si-hu!

RESOLUTE

Son Si-hu, a designated hitter, is at bat.

He hits.

He hits.

-First baseman catches it.
-He did it.

-Catcher Shim Soo-chang covers the base.
-That's it.

That was the first out of the inning.
Seo Dong-wook's defense.

Good!

AWESOME DEFENSE

NICE PLAY

Shim Soo-chang caught it low
with Seo Dong-wook's wonderful defense.

DONG-WOOK'S GOOD DEFENSE
STOPPED A HIT

Shim Soo-chang covered the base too.

Finally, he got an out count
in the second inning.

PERFECT TEAMWORK

This is it.

Shim Soo-chang shouldn't
try to take care of it himself.

He has to trust the outfielders.

The Monsters are one team.
They're unified.

-That's right.
-They need to trust each other.

Jun-ho!

A FAMILIAR MAN WALKS
TO THE BATTER'S BOX

Who is this?

EX-CATCHER OF THE MONSTERS
YOON JUN-HO

Is he smiling?

You better do well.

JUN-HO, DO A GOOD JOB…

It's Yoon Jun-ho versus Shim Soo-chang.

Before they were the battery.
Now they're enemies.

-That's right. I'm nervous.
-Jun-ho!

STRIKE

-Strike!
-The first pitch is a strike.

OUT OF THE BLUE?

Sidearm?

SIDEARM ALL OF A SUDDEN?

Suddenly it's a sidearm.

He kept pitching overhand.
Suddenly he pitched sidearm.

That means he knew that
he had to pitch breaking balls

instead of fastballs.

I see.

HE WANTS TO STOP JUN-HO
FROM GETTING ON BASE

I'm confident I can hit Soo-chang's pitch.

SCREAMING!

HE'S HIT BY A PITCH
AND AWARDED FIRST BASE

He's hit by a pitch.

I DON'T THINK HE DID IT ON PURPOSE…

IT'S GOOD THAT
HE GOT ON BASE ANYWAY!

What was that?

-The ball was too slow.
-You expected it.

THE FATE(?) OF THE ACE

Where? Here?

PATTING

The other players love Yoon Jun-ho.

-Yes.
-I'm sure of that.

They pressured him, but he smiled back.

He did.

The first pitch hit the batter again.

Following the seventh batter,

the eighth batter
Wi Jeong-hyeon is at bat.

Get the right timing.

GET THE RIGHT TIMING AND PITCH!

Go!

EXHALING

STRIKE

HONG-KU'S ADVICE WORKED(?)

Nice ball.

One at a time.

ONE STRIKE AT A TIME!

FOUL

He swung at a high fastball.

-Okay.
-It's good.

Hit it.

JEONG-HYEON, HIT THE BALL!

JUN-HO, STEAL THE BASE!

The batter!

SOO-CHANG, FOCUS ON THE BATTER ONLY!

MOVING

He swings and misses.
Strikeout and second base.

JUN-HO TRIES TO STEAL 2ND BASE

Jun-ho!

IS JUN-HO STEALING A BASE?

He's running.
He throws the ball to second base.

-Second baseman misses the ball.
-Nice.

Good job!

Lee Hong-ku couldn't stop

Yoon Jun-ho from stealing a base.

The timing was too fast.
It isn't Hong-ku's fault.

I'd say Yoon Jun-ho was sensible.

HE SUCCESSFULLY STOLE BASE

What a bully.

WHAT A BULLY…

IT'S FUN TO WATCH

Today we saw
an interesting catchers' match.

It's two outs already.

YOON JUN-HO HAS
A CHANCE TO TURN THE TABLES

The ninth batter Jung Ung-chan is at bat.

JUNG UNG-CHAN: MANAGER JUNG
PICKED HIM AS THE NEXT RISING STAR

Let's move up close.

-Here?
-Let's move up really close.

OUTFIELDERS ARE MOVING IN

Move up really close.

PREVIOUS OUTFIELDERS' LINE

CURRENT OUTFIELDERS' LINE

IF IT'S A LONG HIT,
THEY'RE LIKELY TO LOSE POINTS

WILL HE MAKE A LONG HIT
AND TURN THE TABLES?

OR WILL HE STOP HIM BY ALL MEANS?

Be strong!

He hits. It goes up high, but not far.

-Okay.
-Right fielders crowd in.

Right fielder catches it as he runs down.

Kim Moon-ho catches the ball. Three outs.

MOVING UP THE OUTFIELDERS
WAS A GREAT STRATEGY

Shim Soo-chang finished
the second inning without any trouble.

They're still tied at one to one.
It's the bottom of the second inning.

I'm so tired.

-Good.
-Hey!

YOU DEFENDED WELL

Good job!

YOU DEFENDED WELL

-Soo-chang, how are you?
-I'm fine.

Are you? Pitch one more inning.

-I can keep going.
-No.

Think of every inning as your last
and pitch with all your might.

Pitch until the sixth inning.

BOTTOM OF THE 2ND INNING
DONG-EUI 1 : 1 MONSTERS

Bottom of the second inning.
Monsters will bat.

The seventh batter Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

Hong-ku, it's all two-seam.

But it drops slightly.

-Yes.
-Hit it from the bottom up.

YONG-TAEK GIVES HIM ADVICE

Hyun-in, it's two-seam.
It drops and it's far.

Okay.

-Kyeong-been. Two-seam.
-Yes.

-It drops and curls.
-Yes.

Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

He hits. It flies center-left.

Center fielder runs back.

He moves back and catches the ball.

1 OUT

Center fielder Wi Jeong-hyeon.

Did you see his feet?

He was really fast.

It was a powerful hit.

It looks like
Lee Hong-ku thought it was a hit.

Look how he spots the ball
and chases after it.

He ran about 30 to 40 meters.

He caught it
right before the warning track.

-Wi Jeong-hyeon. We have to remember him.
-Yes.

It was a good defense.

Lee Hong-ku's fly ball was caught.

Now it's Ryu Hyun-in.

The eighth batter Ryu Hyun-in.

Hyun-in!

TO BREAK THE 1-TO-1 BALANCE

HE MUST GET ON BASE

We're watching several players.

Ryu Hyun-in is sharp-witted
when playing baseball.

-He plays solid defense and hits well.
-Yes.

Hyun-in is a good troubleshooter.

He must get on base.

Show them!

Forward! Come on!

FIRST MATCH WITH MIN-GYU
WILL HE BE ABLE TO GET ON BASE?

-Go for it!
-Let's go!

He pushes.

-He pushes.
-That's it.

It falls inside the foul line. It's a hit.

Ryu Hyun-in makes a hit from one at-bat.

CK Monsters sent a runner on base
since one out.

HOW COULD I NOT APPOINT YOU?

He's good.

Here comes another young gun.
The ninth batter Han Kyeong-been

will play as a member
of CK Monsters for the last time.

Good!

MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP
GIVES SIGNS BUSILY

OKAY

GOT IT

WHAT WAS THAT SIGN?

Let's see. I gave a run-and-hit sign.
I'm not sure if he'll do well.

WHAT IS A RUN-AND-HIT STRATEGY?

-I'm nervous.
-I'm nervous too.

In a run-and-hit strategy,

runner starts to run first,

and the batter hits

to make a ground ball.

Shortstop…

and second baseman
will try to cover second base,

so Han Kyeong-been
has to hit the ball toward them.

Then, the strategy will be a success.

KYEONG-BEEN NEEDS A HIT

IT'S A STRATEGY TO SEND RUNNERS
TO SCORING POSITIONS

MOVING

HE RUNS!

HYUN-IN HAS A QUICK START

FOUL

-Foul!
-It's a foul. The runner started to run.

CLENCHED TEETH…

THE SENIOR PLAYERS
CLENCH THEIR TEETH TOO!

HYUN-IN REACHED 2ND BASE,
BUT HE MAKES A U-TURN

Hey! He's fast. Ung-chan as well.

I MUST MAKE UP
FOR THE FAILED ATTEMPT

He hits. It flies high

to the left.

Left fielder catches it. Two outs.

It's Han Kyeong-been's last game.

His first hit was a fly ball.

STILL 2 OUTS
AND RUNNER IS ON 1ST BASE

What were you thinking
when you hit the ball?

I tried to hit it that way.

-Where? There?
-Yes.

It doesn't matter.
You just need to hit hard.

-It doesn't matter if it's a fly ball.
-Okay.

You tried to hit it a certain way,
so your body moved forward.

Yes, sir.

SUDDENLY

HE'S RUNNING?

HYUN-IN SUDDENLY STEALS BASE

I WON'T LET YOU!

JUN-HO…

JUN-HO!

HE SLIDES HEAD FIRST.
WHAT'S THE RESULT?

Runner runs. He throws it to second base.

Second baseman catches it.
The runner is out.

Yoon Jun-ho catches Ryu Hyun-in.

Jun-ho proves how good he is once again.

Three outs. The inning is over.

Moving on to the third inning.

WITH A SCORE OF 1 TO 1,
2ND INNING IS OVER

TOO BAD

You had a great start.

I can't believe they got you.

THE OTHER PLAYERS FEEL SORRY

Jun-ho was good.

It's back to the first batter.

Dong-eui's Kang Jun-seo is at bat.

You said you wanted to do an interview!

Then you have to hit!

Today, Shim Soo-chang
let Kang Jun-seo hit a three-base hit.

BALL

Shim Soo-chang threw a slow breaking ball.

-Go!
-Good.

-Go for it.
-Nice.

The second pitch is another breaking ball.

TILTING HIS HEAD

Here he goes again.

Soo-chang shouldn't lose his focus.

It's another dropping breaking ball.

The first batter
Kang Jun-seo doesn't respond to it at all.

-Jeez.
-No, don't pitch like that.

SMILING

What does that smile mean?

I went out there thinking that
I'd finish them with breaking balls.

They fell really nicely, but he held back.

I realized then

that he figured me out already.

I could see his pitch a little.

He holds back again. Straight four balls.

Jeez.

Timeout.

-Manager Lee visits the mound.
-Yes.

It's only the third inning.

HE VISITS AFTER ONE BATTER

-Are you tired?
-No.

-Are you okay?
-My curveballs didn't work.

Throw one at a time.
You'll keep pitching this inning.

It's only the third inning,

but the next pitcher
is already warming up.

If Shim Soo-chang
can't stop the batter here,

he'll be faced with the best batters
in the lineup.

So Manager Lee went up there
to help Soo-chang focus.

VISITING TO HELP HIM MENTALLY

Focus on one batter at a time.
Think of each one as the last one.

Shim Soo-chang looks serious.

The ball goes far.

HIS PITCH IS SHAKIER THAN BEFORE

One at a time.

Let's go.

He's going to run.

-Hey!
-Runner starts to run.

Hong-ku throws it to second base.

THAT'S IT

PLEASE!

SAFE?

OR OUT?

He throws it to second base.

-He is tagged on second base. He's safe.
-Safe!

SAFE!

Dong-eui's Kang Jun-seo
is in a scoring position.

-He's a good baseball player.
-He's sensible.

Hong-ku's throw was a little short.

So he couldn't tag the runner.

If the ball didn't bounce,
they would've had a chance.

SAD

It's okay. I'll get them.

IT'S OKAY! I'LL GET THEM

No outs. Runner is on second base.

Shim Soo-chang
is faced with another crisis.

It's a bunt.

AND A BUNT?

Dong-eui is good
at squeezing that one point.

Manager Jung Bo-myung
stresses it to the players.

They know how to score an extra point
when the game is tight.

-That's why it's the best college team.
-Yes.

He switches to hitting it hard.
The ball flies high!

He switches to hitting it hard.
The ball flies high!

It flies fast
and goes over the left fielder.

NICE

What was that?

GROANING!

RUN

Second base runner touches third base
and reaches home.

-Third base!
-Okay!

STOP!

SCREECH TO A HALT

The batter reaches second base.

BATTER REACHES 2ND BASE SAFELY!

Dong-eui takes another point.

SHAKING

TWO

They're good at playing baseball.

He pitched to the center
because he thought it was a bunt.

Jae-seong made it into a long hit.

There was only one hit,
and that led straight to a point.

They're really good at playing baseball.
They make you focus.

Shim Soo-chang
hasn't made an out count yet.

It's okay!

Get an out count one at a time!

It's going to be hard.

Their batting is different
from the high school kids'.

They're stronger.

CK Monsters are faced
with the biggest crisis.

THE 14,000,605TH CRISIS…

Number three batter Yoo Tae-ung is at bat.

ANOTHER SWITCH

-He hits again.
-He switches.

-The third baseman catches it!
-That's it!

HYUN-IN'S SUPER CATCH

THAT'S IT!

JOY

He switches.

-Third baseman catches it!
-That's it!

He caught it. To first base!

-He is safe.
-It's too high!

OKAY!

HE'S SAFE

Hyun-in's ball was too high.

Shim Soo-chang
doesn't have an out count yet.

It was a nice catch.

It could've been a two-base hit.
He caught it well.

Second base runner couldn't run.

It was an amazing catch.

There hasn't been a catch like that.

It would've been a perfect defense
if that was an out count.

Yes, but that was a great play,
so it's okay.

Hyun-in.

HYUN-IN! GOOD JOB

-Nice play!
-Hyun-in, good job.

HYUN-IN IS OUR FUTURE!

WE AREN'T GETTING ANY OUT COUNTS…

Still no outs.
Runners are on first and second bases.

SIGNALLING!

GIVING A BUNT SIGN 3 TIMES IN A ROW

Number four batter is going to bunt.

NUMBER 4 BATTER WILL
EXECUTE THE STRATEGY

Hyun-in, it's another bunt.

MOVING

I WON'T BE FOOLED ANYMORE!

-He's hit.
-He's hit by a pitch.

He can't be injured.

It's Lee Jin-seok.

Is it his hand? His fingers?
That'd be terrible.

THE BALL HIT THE EDGE OF THE HAND

The edge of his hand was hit.
It was very dangerous.

As he was pulling away the bat
from the bunt position,

he was hit by a pitch.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

I'm sorry.

Trainer Oh, please check him.

The trainer is checking his condition.

This is good.
All the other players are worried.

-Are you okay?
-Yes, sir.

The batter was hit by a pitch.
So all the bases are full.

Timeout.

Manager Lee is visiting the mound.

He has made a decision.

-You did well.
-I'm sorry.

-No, it's okay.
-I can't control the pitch today.

I'm sorry.
You should've pitched three innings.

-I can't control the pitch.
-Can't you?

-I relieved you too late.
-It's too off.

You did well.

-Thank you.
-No outs. The bases are full.

Catcher Shim Soo-chang
steps off the mound leaving a crisis.

He pitched well.

Please give it up for Shim Soo-chang!

Shim Soo-chang, well done!

YOU DID WELL!

Rhee Dae-eun takes the mound
as the second pitcher of the day.

I'm sorry.

No outs and full bases.
Let's get an out count.

FEELING EXTREMELY PRESSURED

He'll be easy.

Did you just hear that?

-Pardon?
-He said you'd be easy.

(LAUGHING)

STARING SHARPLY

LET'S SEE WHO IS EASY

No outs and the bases are loaded.

NO OUTS AND FULL BASES

Rhee Dae-eun was nervous
in his first game.

He has to stop them
in the second game by all means.

Go!

-A bunt.
-It's a squeeze!

Go in.

3RD BASE RUNNER DASHES
WITH ALL HIS MIGHT

-A bunt.
-It's a squeeze!

The pitcher catches it.
Third base runner scored.

-Go.
-Batter is out at the first base.

THE BATTER GAVE UP AN OUT

Dong-eui scores another point.

They attacked CK Monsters' blind spot!

THEY GOT US…

It's three to one.

MANAGER JUNG MAKES THE TEAM
WIN BY 2 POINTS

This is amateur baseball.

I never thought
the squeeze play would work.

We only thought of the pro league.
But this is amateur baseball.

WILL THEY LOSE?
WILL THIS SHOW END?

What's going on?

THEY NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE THIS

I haven't seen the squeeze play
with no outs in 15 years.

That was executed perfectly.

They would've been in big trouble
if the bunt didn't work.

Dong-eui executed
their strategy perfectly.

CK Monsters have met their best match.

Will they bunt again?

-They might.
-Right.

MANAGER JUNG KEEPS GIVING SIGNS

Rhee Dae-eun has to focus.

It's okay to lose one point, but not two.

WE MUST FOCUS

STRIKE

-Okay!
-Good!

You must stop them.

DONG-EUI 3 : 1 MONSTERS

THE STRIKE COUNT GOES UP
FOR THE FIRST TIME

THIS GAME… BEGINS NOW!

HE HITS!

It flies high. Son Si-hu's hit.

GETTING READY TO TAG UP

Third base runner is tagging up.

3RD BASE RUNNER TAGS UP QUICKLY

Dong-eui scores another point.

Now the score is four to one.

They're three points apart.

Jeez, it flew up.

Rhee Dae-eun is increasing the out counts,

but Dong-eui changes
an out count to a point.

He made a sacrifice fly so easily.

I want to praise each player
for their skills.

Number seven batter Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.

He had the highest batting average
when he was with CK Monsters.

The first base is empty.

Personally, I think he needs
an intentional base on balls.

Yoon Jun-ho is a good batter.

YOON JUN-HO IS TOO GOOD

-It flies outward.
-See? He can hit.

I TOLD YOU SO!

Yoon Jun-ho can do it.

He's a good batter.

Rhee Dae-eun is throwing at 141km/h.

He needs to stop him.
Right now it's four to one.

-The gap is too big.
-Yes.

-The second pitch is a ball.
-Ball!

Good.

-It's good.
-Nice.

Three-point difference.

The runner Soo-chang
is responsible for is still on base.

Two outs. Runner is on second base.

Let's block one.

The outfielders are all nervous.

A MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO
WHO ARE 18,44M APART

He hits outward. It goes to second base.

Jeong Keun-woo catches it.
The runner is out.

Three outs.

Rhee Dae-eun gets three out counts.

Dong-eui was able to squeeze points.

It's four to one.
Dong-eui is three points ahead.

All right, let's hit some too!

-Okay!
-Let's hit!

The squeeze play was awesome.

I never thought of that.

They're really different.

It's not going to be easy today.

It's four to one.

CK Monsters are chasing after Dong-eui.

-Let's go. Let's hit.
-Go.

Let's score one by one.

The starter Son Min-gyu is still pitching.

Jeong Keun-woo was hit by a pitch.
He walked to first base.

He poses to bunt.

He's making the infielders nervous.

Jeong Keun-woo is
so good at playing baseball.

Okay, that's good.

GET ON BASE

2 BALLS

-Okay.
-All right.

KEUN-WOO REMAINS COOL
AND PICKS OUT THE PITCHES

TILTING HIS HEAD

He can't pitch.

IS IT BECAUSE OF THE BUNT?

BASE ON BALLS

Keun-woo receives four balls and walks.

The Monsters has to go.
Their batting lineup is good.

SAYING HIS CATCHPHRASE

Keun-woo has done his job
as number one batter.

He got on first base both times.

The game starts now.

DONG-EUI 4 : 1 MONSTERS

-Go.
-Hit.

He hits outward.

HE HITS!

-Shortstop catches it.
-That's it.

-To second base. He's safe!
-Safe!

THAT'S IT!

Lee Taek-keun's hit.

RUNNERS SHOULDN'T BE ON BASE…

CK Monsters' runners are going on base.

This is Jeong Keun-woo.

-My leg.
-I want to praise him.

He slid to reach second base.

It's hard to hit a slider.

But Taek-keun hit it somehow.

The defense was perfect.

I thought he'd be out.

Watch this.
He caught the ball and threw it.

Keun-woo's sliding was so good.

He's over 40 years old,
but he can run bases like this.

That's national second baseman
Jeong Keun-woo.

Lee Taek-keun's hit.

Runners are getting on bases.

The Monsters' captain has to do this.

Park Yong-taek must do it.

It's important for him
to do what he needs to do.

Yong-taek, you need to hit a home run.

SIGNALLING!

(TO THE LEFT!)

SIGNALLING!

(OKAY, THERE!)

Outward pitch.

Here's why Song Min-gyu threw that pitch.

The defense is shifted to the left.

The pitcher throws a sinker,
so the batter hits to the left.

The manager has all the data

and the batter information in his head.

Yes.

He keeps throwing outward.

Because he wants the ball to go left.

The batter needs the pitcher
to make a mistake

so he could pull a hit
and send the ball close to the right.

He hits!

It's an ambiguous course.
Right fielder follows it.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO GO THAT WAY…

It's going in.

-Right fielder follows it.
-It's a good trajectory.

-Run!
-Second basemen catches it!

AWESOME

He's running!

HE'S ON MY TEAM AND HE'S AWESOME

He catches it and takes care of the hit.

HE'S NOT ON MY TEAM,
BUT HE'S AWESOME

That was pretty far, but second baseman

Jung Ung-chan caught it.

These players play good defense.

He caught it well.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE CAUGHT IT…

Jeez.

HE CAUGHT THAT…

Because the defense
was positioned a little to the left,

it was hard to catch the ball.

Everyone was watching the right fielders,
but the second baseman showed up.

It was too far
for the right fielders to catch it.

But he ran that far.

Now it's one out.
Runners are on first and second bases.

This is it for starter Son Min-gyu.

WELL DONE, MIN-GYU

Shin Seung-yun takes the mound.

SECOND PITCHER SHIN SEUNG-YUN

You should pay attention to this player.

He is truly a rare and valuable pitcher.

It's incredibly rare to find
a left-handed sidearm pitcher.

Yes, I'm curious.

Left-handed sidearm pitchers
are very rare.

-That's right.
-Yes.

THIS IS A SIDEARM PITCHER

It goes outward.

It's perfect.

EUI-YOON, IT'S PERFECT FOR YOU!

Look at his pitching form.

VERY UNFAMILIAR PITCHING FORM

That's threatening.

Let's go!

(SNEAKING)

Let's go!

He's running. He's out on third base.

HE FAILED TO STEAL A BASE…

Jeong Keun-woo tried to steal a base.

Suddenly, CK Monsters are in a bad mood.

He's been playing baseball so well so far.

This is a very regrettable situation.

-Defense.
-Eui-yoon swore at you.

SLANDERING

YOU SHOULD'VE WAITED, KEUN-WOO…

BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO HIT!

The ball flies! He hits!
It's the right center.

It's a hit!

-There you go.
-Nice.

Keun-woo, so close.

HE'S DISAPPOINTED AT KEUN-WOO

The ball rolls to the fence.

The second base runner, Lee Taek-keun,
makes it into home base.

The fourth batter, Eui-yoon.

He manages to play his role in the game.

That was good.

Finally, Eui-yoon is back on his foot
as the fourth hitter.

This point is big for CK Monsters.

The score is four to two.

CK Monsters are starting to catch up.

-Let's go for one more point. One more!
-All right!

Let's go! Dong-wook.

Dong-wook's batting average is .400.

But he doesn't have a hit
in a scoring position.

That's right.

If he does hit, the timing is right now.

-Yes!
-It's far from his body.

LOOK AT THE PATH OF THE BALL

As a left-handed batter,
his pitch isn't easy to deal with.

Even though I was a pro for a long time,

I don't have much experience
with pitches that travel like that.

I had to admit he was a very good pitcher.

Two outs with a second base runner

And the unfamiliar
left-handed sidearm pitcher.

It's close to the body.

THE BALL WAS CLOSE TO THE BODY

Dong-wook was willing to get hit.

He really wants to win.

It's a hit-by-pitch
even if it skims his clothes.

THAT WAS SCARY…

One last out left.

DONG-EUI 4 : 2 CK MONSTERS

THE SECOND BASE RUNNER,
EUI-YOON, IN A SCORING POSITION

Can he make this happen?

You can do it!

He hits! He pushes the ball!

He hits! He pushes the ball!

Third baseman gets it. To first base!

He's out! The inning ends.

The score is four to two.
It's the fourth inning now.

LET'S GO STEP BY STEP LIKE THIS!

Okay! We can do it!

We caught up.

We also go step by step.

Let's go. Let's get ahead quickly.

One, two, three!

Rhee Dae-eun took the mound
in the last inning as the second pitcher

and has been defending very well.

Because Soo-chang couldn't pitch for long,

it's important Dae-eun takes it slow.

Let's see how many innings he can last.

BALL

TWO BALLS

A DIFFERENT START
FROM THE PREVIOUS INNING

What's wrong with him?

HE'S WORRIED

Fourth inning. We have five, six, seven…

HOW MANY INNINGS ARE LEFT?

Hee-kwan for the next inning.

MANAGER LEE IS GETTING
HEE-KWAN READY

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME
THIS INNING, DAE-EUN…

He hits. A ground ball.

Third base throws it to first base.

It's the first out.

Dae-eun's pitching
led to four poor battings.

You can do it.

Next up is Jung Ung-chan.

-Goodness.
-Gosh.

HE'S SURPRISED

What's wrong with him? Is he injured?

ANOTHER INJURY?

This is not good.

I don't think I was physically ready.

I've never pitched a ball like that
in my life.

I was so disappointed in myself.

-The fact that I pitched that ball.
-You can do this.

DAE-EUN IS DISAPPOINTED IN HIMSELF
AS HE'S NOT AT HIS PRIME

THANKS TO HIM, MANAGER LEE
IS HAVING A BAD HEADACHE

-Have you been practicing, Won-sam?
-Yes.

-Not ready yet?
-Maybe next week.

The fourth inning was a bit of a crisis.

The pitcher lineup became mixed up.

THERE'S ONLY ONE ANSWER TO THIS,
DAE-EUN HAS TO OVERCOME IT

It's a hit.

It goes through the five-six hole.

HE'S ANXIOUS

He allows a runner to get on a base
for the first time.

CHEERING

-Nice!
-Good!

It's not my best day.

Let's just defend this inning.

(WHO'S THE NEXT BATTER?)

Is it the first batter?
What a pain in the neck.

This is a crisis.

Kang Jun-seo played so well today.

When you look at the runs allowed,

Jun-seo was always there to contribute.

That's right. He's a really good player.

I wonder what
Manager Jung's strategy would be

when the runner gets on a base.

It's hard to predict.

After Kang Jun-seo is Park Jae-seong.

We just need one double play.

He needs to control his ball
to induce ground balls.

GO FOR A DOUBLE PLAY

-You can do this.
-Dae-eun must defend this.

Come on!

It's a ground ball!

Is it going to be a double play?

-Okay!
-There you go.

(YOU CAN'T BE SURE)

It's a ground ball!

Shortstop gets it! To second base!

And to first base!

He's out!

A PERFECT 6-4-3 DOUBLE PLAY

THAT'S THE PLAY!

A 6-4-3 double play!

HE'S RELIEVED

FEELING BITTER

Dae-eun manages to defend the inning

by going against only three batters.

THREE UP, THREE DOWN

Thank goodness for the GIDP.

HE'S THEIR BEST SUPPORTER

Dae-eun. Good work.

Am I done?

I can do one more.

(TEMPTED)

-You really can?
-Yes, sir.

-As expected.
-I knew it.

Good.

We can go step by step.

We might get two points. Just one chance.

We can do it!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT BASEBALL IS,
BY MANAGER LEE

A two-point difference.

The bottom of the inning
starts with CK Monsters on offense,

and they can still catch up.

TURN THE GAME AROUND!

First up is Kim Moon-ho.

Let's get on base!

MOON-HO, GET ON BASE!

Shin Seung-yun takes the mound.

Seung-yun used to be an overhand pitcher.

He changed into a sidearm
to get more speed.

He became a valuable player.

His style also matches the trend.

The first pitch is a strike.

STRIKE WITH A CRAZY PATH

Nice.

Chong Tae-hyon trained him well.

I think he made a good choice.

It's a foul near first base.

For left-handed batters,
it's hard to get the timing right.

DONG-EUI 4:2 MONSTERS

HARD FOR LEFT-HANDED BATTERS

BUT NOT FOR A BIG-TIME BATTER
LIKE ME!

A NICE HIT

It goes right in front of
the right fielder.

It's unfortunate that a good hit
went to the right fielder.

1 OUT

It's okay. That was good timing.

BUT THE NEXT BETTER, HONG-KU…

The center fielder catches it.

Two outs.

WHAT ABOUT CATCHING UP?

Hyun-in is up next.

DONG-EUI 4:2 MONSTERS

FOUL

Darn it. It was slow.

MY SWING WAS SLOW

The university students are
on par with us. The pitchers are good.

Nice!

THEY'RE CHEERING FOR SEUNG-YUN

BUT THINGS ARE DEPRESSING
IN CK MONSTER'S DUGOUT

We're behind two points,
but it feels like we're more behind.

WE'RE ONLY TWO POINTS BEHIND

It's only two points!

I asked Jun-ho,

and Dong-eui's strength is their defense.

After they get a point,
the pitcher defends so well.

And I get what he's talking about.

Darn it.

Nice.

-Good!
-There you go.

FINALLY GOT ON BASE!
NO THREE UP, THREE DOWN

A MISTAKE AFTER 2 OUTS?

Do the same. You can do it.

You're up next, Keun-woo.

KYEONG-BEEN, PLEASE

It's two outs, but there's a runner.

KYEONG-BEEN, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT!

-He misses.
-How am I supposed to hit this?

HOW DO I HIT THIS?

Change the pitcher.
I hate those kinds of pitches.

Strike far from the body.

For left-handed batters, they're surprised
as it's close to their body.

But when the ball is caught,
it's far from the body.

I know they're scared,
but the ball isn't fast.

There's nothing you can do.

HIT-BY-PITCH

-Nice.
-I think this is it.

Seriously?

HE'S FRUSTRATED

This sudden halt isn't good
when they're winning.

He has trouble zeroing
against a left-handed batter.

That's right.

LEFT-HANDED SIDEARM PITCHERS
ARE GOOD AGAINST LEFT-HANDED BATTERS

This is the biggest crisis for Dong-eui.

Two hit-by-pitches after two outs.

Two runners for CK Monsters

Two runners can make the score even.

Jeong Keun-woo, the first batter, is up.

KEUN-WOO COMES IN AT A GOOD CHANCE

One good hit from him will win the game.

Let's just go for one point.

Focus.

Seung-yun threw good pitches twice,
but ended up throwing a hit-by-pitch.

That will stress him out the most.

This is when you have to

keep an eye on the first pitch.

Let's see the match.

-Strike!
-First pitch is a strike.

Keun-woo watched the first ball.

Look at his expression. He's totally
into the game and focused.

Two points behind with two runners.

-Just one more out!
-Let's go!

JUST ONE HIT

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball!

-Darn!
-Gosh.

It's a ground ball. He misses it!

SECOND BASEMAN DROPS THE BALL!

-Darn it!
-Gosh.

A GROUND BALL? I GUESS IT'S NOT!

HE'S SHOUTING IN JOY

Nice job.

The second baseman drops the batted ball!

I can't believe what I just saw.

Jung Ung-chan's mistake.

Hyun-in on third base,
Kyeong-been on second,

and Keun-woo on first base.

-Now Taek-keun is up.
-This is it.

Hit the ball
towards the right center field.

PLEASE

-Darn it.
-First pitch is a strike.

-Darn it.
-First pitch is a strike.

NICE

What a fascinating player.

Having a unique player like him
in amateur baseball

is a very positive thing.

CK Monsters are facing a unique pitcher.

Taek-keun is moving very quickly.

This means he's ready for the pitcher,
and whatever he throws.

-Okay.
-It ball flies.

It's a foul.

NICE! 2 STRIKES!

Let's go for one point.

IT'S NOT OVER YET

DONG-EUI 4 : 2 MONSTERS

Shin Seung-yun and Lee Taek-keun.

He misses his swing! Strikeout!

FINISHES UP THE INNING
WITH A STRIKEOUT

AS EXPECTED, SEUNG-YUN!

THEY SIGH IN DISAPPOINTMENT

INNING ENDS WITHOUT A SINGLE POINT

Lee Taek-keun doesn't make it happen.

All runners are left on base.

It's still four to two.
CK Monsters are behind by two points.

That last pitch was perfect.

Left-handed sidearm pitchers.

How come he's good
against right-handed batters?

ODDLY GOOD AGAINST
RIGHT-HANDED BATTERS

But how will they win?

It won't be easy today.

Bottom of the fifth inning.
CK Monsters on offense.

Seung-yun is still the pitcher.

Park Yong-taek is the batter.

He misses! Strikeout!

He misses! Strikeout!

He pitches two strikeouts in a row.

Pitcher Seung-yun.

There's something unusual
about his pitching.

It's very difficult to hit.

If he pitches like that,
usually the ball loses control.

-I know.
-But he does.

He has good sense.

It means his hand is sensitive.

THE NEXT HITTER IS EUI-YOON

Shortstop catches the fly ball.

2 OUTS

Can you describe the pitch for me?
What's different?

Sure. The ball goes around far.

I thought, "This would hit."
But it keeps curving out.

THAT'S THE REASON
BEHIND THE SWINGS AND MISSES

I don't think I've ever seen CK Monsters

miss their swings this much.

He misses! Strikeout!

SEUNG-YUN DEFENDS ANOTHER INNING

I don't understand that guy.

The inning ends without a run
from CK Monsters.

STILL 2 POINTS BEHIND

Remember Choongam's manager

begged us to kick Hee-kwan
out of the mound?

I want to beg the same thing
to Dong-eui's manager.

-Please take him back to the dugout.
-Yes.

-I understand how Choongam's manager felt.
-Totally.

It's now the sixth inning
with CK Monsters on offense.

Why is he still there?

WHY IS HE KEEP PITCHING?

Where's the pitching limitation rule?

He's throwing after 70 pitches.

AGAIN AFTER 70 PITCHES?

As long as Seung-yun takes the mound,

it'll be hard for CK Monsters
to get to home base.

That's right.

Shortstop fields the ground ball.
To first base.

He's out!

The pitch is close to the batter's body.

No one can hit this pitch.

They have an ultimate weapon.

Three strikes out with an ERA of .000.

He did not allow any runs.

-Left side.
-It goes to the left.

Left fielder follows.

He catches the ball.

They only have ten outs
before the game ends.

You can tell that they're anxious.

They have to wait
until he reaches his limit

or after he pitches too much.

-I agree with you.
-Yes.

The batters just can't
get the timing right.

They're just hoping
for Seung-yun to stop pitching.

-That's what's on their mind.
-I see.

He misses! Another strikeout!

He misses! Another strikeout!

He wasn't able to overcome
Seung-yun this time.

Three up, three down.
The pitcher is Shin Seung-yun.

Seung-yun. Your pitch is on point.

I feel like he's playing with us.

Totally playing with us. Darn it.

What will be today's outcome?

I seriously want to win.

They can't deal with him at all.

THE HITTERS CAN'T
DEAL WITH SEUNG-YUN AT ALL

The number of pitches is 84.

NUMBER OF PITCHES

I think he can pitch another inning.

With Seung-yun on the mound,
there's nothing we can do.

We can't lose already.
It's going to be trouble if we do.

This is pissing me off.

-He's playing with us.
-I'm so pissed off.

The game is heading to its end.
The score is four to two.

Hee-kwan takes the mound.

The inning before this.

-He allowed hits.
-That's true.

UNLIKE THE GAMES BEFORE,
HE ALLOWED HITS

THE .700 HITTER ALSO GOT A CLEAN HIT

EUI-YOON'S CATCH MANAGED
TO STOP THEM FROM SCORING

BUT THE LAST INNING WAS FULL OF HITS

It's important he pitches perfectly.

His team's batters aren't
getting hits anytime soon.

HE HITS!

It's a hit near the center field.

They're seeing through Hee-kwan.

And it was Jun-seo, the first hitter.

They're really good at baseball.

He's pretty good.

There was a reason why Manager Jung was

so confident against
CK Monsters, saying he can win.

-That's true.
-Yes.

STOP STRATEGIZING

Park Jae-seong, the second hitter.

He's keeping his eye on the runner.
He can't let him go any further.

He's trying to keep him on first base.

Hee-kwan keeping his eyes on him.

A SLOW GROUND BALL

It's a ground ball.

Keun-woo passes to second base.

-It's a force out!
-Okay.

-That was perfect decision-making.
-Nice play.

He gets the first runner out.

The batted ball was slow and bounced high.

It was difficult to throw it
to second base.

But Hee-kwan held the runner on his base,

so he couldn't move forward
in the beginning.

That's right.

An out with first base is different
from second base.

It's totally different.

Please elaborate.

With a runner in a scoring position,
there's a chance for the runner to score.

And if the runner is on second base,

that means no double play.

How do you know so much?

THE BALL HITS AGAIN

The batted ball got pushed out!
A hit on the right field.

The runner gets on second base.

It's one out with runners
on first and second.

If Keun-woo didn't get the runner out
before this,

they could've allowed a run.

Keun-woo's decision-making
stopped them from scoring.

Of course, and one point is worth a lot.

But Hee-kwan is allowing hits.

This is why they're different
from high school players.

That's right.

He hits a slow breaking pitch.

-Okay.
-It's an infield fly.

-This is an out.
-It's been called.

Before the ball was caught,
the umpire called it.

This is to stop the double play

as the infielder can drop
the ball on purpose.

So the umpire declares it's an out.

It's a type of defense.

Two outs with runners on first and second.

An Hyeon-tae is up next.

Let's go, Hyeon-tae!

BACK!

Let's go, Hyeon-tae!

HE SPINS

Second base pickoff.

SUDDEN SECOND BASE PICK OFF,
BUT IT'S SAFE

-It's safe.
-Oh, no.

-What do you think?
-Safe.

-Good job.
-Nice.

THEY'RE IMPRESSED

When did they signal each other?

It was more of an instinct.
I saw it in Keun-woo's eyes.

My body just moved.

That was good.
They're bringing back the momentum.

-That's right.
-Yes.

And CK Monsters are in a dire situation.

WE'LL LOSE IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING

It's a pickoff again!

WILL THEY

GET HIM OUT THIS TIME?

Darn it!

-It's a pickoff again!
-Again!

Is it out?

It's out this time!

A perfect pickoff!

What are you doing?

CK Monsters ends the inning
with this pickoff!

NICE JOB!

That's how you do it.

-Okay!
-Nice!

This is it. It's our turn now.

THE MOMENTUM IS OURS NOW

-The tables are turning now.
-This is our chance.

Out of three innings,
we'll get two chances for sure.

-One, two three!
-Go!

Let's go!

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY!

It's our turn to attack now.

Our turn!

NO WAY!

Another pickoff?

That pickoff was dope!

WHAT A NICE SECOND-BASE PICKOFF

WOW!

That was good.

BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH INNING
DONG-EUI 4 : 2 MONSTERS

First up is the third hitter
Park Yong-taek.

Get on base!

The lineup is good this inning!

Keun-woo and Hee-kwan stayed focused

and made this advantage for the team.

And then it's our captain,
Park Yong-taek is up.

That's right.

But the undefeated Seung-yun

is still on the mound.

Yong-taek is going against Seung-yun
for the third time today.

Infield fly and a strikeout.

Now it's the third match.

STRIKE

He misses his swing.

He misses his swing.

He pitches so darn well.

This is such a difficult pitch to hit.
You can't even see it in pro baseball.

UNPREDICTABLE PITCH

We know that this is a tough situation,

he has to do something.

The first hitter, Yong-taek.

He desperately needs to get on base.

-He hits it!
-To the right!

Wow. What a good hit.

AS EXPECTED FROM THE CAPTAIN

Nice.

-He hits it!
-To the right!

It's a hit on the right!

Yong-taek tries to bring back
the momentum.

THE CAPTAIN BRINGS BACK THE MOMENTUM

The team's captain manages
to get the first hit.

Against the undefeated Seung-yun,

Yong-taek is the first hitter
that gets on base.

-Hello, sir.
-Hey.

His pitches are good.

He knows how to play this game.

BUT I SAW THROUGH HIM

The .300 batter, Eui-yoon is up next.

Eui-yoon, there's no strategy.

The only strategy here
is to hit a home run.

HOME RUN IS OUR ONLY CHANCE

He needs a good hit here.

HE HITS!

It's a fly ball.

It's traveling at an awkward route.
Center and right fielder.

We don't know yet!

-Is it going to be a hit?
-I don't know yet.

Darn it.

Center and right fielders!

Center fielder! He catches it.

Center fielder, Jeong-hyeon
catches the ball.

He sighs as it was so close.

DONG-WOOK IS UP NEXT

He misses! Strikeout!

HE'S UNDEFEATED AGAIN
SINCE YONG-TAEK'S HIT

-How would you hit that?
-He's legit.

PRODUCER: PLEASE!

PRODUCER: DISAPPOINTED

First hitter got on base,
but two out counts.

WHAT KIND OF SITUATION IS THIS?

He pitched almost 100 times today.

NUMBER OF PITCHES: 98

Timeout.

Your pitch count is too high.
Let's change. Good job.

He's getting off the mound.

This will be it for Seung-yun.

Seung-yun, who defended perfectly
against CK Monsters,

is getting off the mound after 98 pitches.

Dong-eui changes pitchers.

HE'S SO SWEET IN THE DUGOUT

This is a chance for us.

We still have time.

The nightmare of CK Monsters,

Seung-yoon is finally off the mound.

Lee Jun-seon takes the mound.

Sliders are his main weapon.

Kim Moon-ho is up.

Let's get on base!

Let's just get one point.

DONG-EUI 4 : 2 MONSTERS

STRIKE

Strike!

He threw a breaking pitch
on his first pitch.

It seems like he has good control.

SOMETHING IS UNUSUAL ABOUT HIM

Goes through the zone near his body.

(IMPRESSED)

THEY'RE CHEERING

-Nice job!
-Get him out!

-It looks fast.
-Seriously.

They're in university,
so they must have faster spin.

-And they strategize.
-I know.

But CK Monsters have experience

against this kind of player
from professional baseball.

That's right. Above all else,
Moon-ho has to overcome this.

Zero balls, two strikes.

LET'S JUST HIT ONE PITCH

He misses!

An uncaught third strike.
He runs to first, but he's out.

It's another strikeout.

Three outs. First hitter got on a base,

but couldn't manage to get a point.

The score is still two points apart.

SHOULD I JUST PLAY INSTEAD OF THEM?

HE DROPS THE PEN

This can't be happening.

A loss after just four games?
That's unacceptable.

I mean…

they usually score
when the momentum is theirs.

HE SIGHS

It's the eighth inning.
Dong-eui is on offense.

First up is An Hyeon-tae.

Yoo Hee-kwan manages to stop them
from reaching home base.

That's right. He's pitching really well.

First pitch. A strike near the body.

A FASTBALL
STRIKE

Let's go for a hit!

Stop their winning streak!

THEY WANT TO SCORE MORE POINTS

Let's stop their winning streak!

WILL HE READ THROUGH HIS PITCH?

The score is four to two,
still two points apart.

-A breaking pitch.
-Strike!

STRIKE

Hee-kwan gets a strike.

AN ADVANTAGEOUS COUNT
FOR HEE-KWAN

It was 97km/h.

Nice pitch!

HE'S ANXIOUS

Hyeon-tae, the fifth hitter.

A BATTLEFIELD THAT DECIDES
HOW THE INNING WILL GO

He misses! Strikeout!

He misses! Strikeout!

Nice.

Hee-kwan adds another strikeout
to his record.

Three strikeouts today for Hee-kwan.

A beautiful breaking pitch
that led to a strikeout.

A BEAUTIFUL BREAKING PITCH

Lee Ju-yeong is up.
The count is one and one.

HEE-KWAN HAS THE CONTROL NOW

I MUST BRING HIM DOWN

He misses!

STRIKE

He misses!

He swung the bat with a lot of force.

Okay!

THIS IS MAKING ME THIRSTY

The count is one and two.

DONG-EUI 4 : 2 MONSTERS

He misses! Strikeout! Two outs.

A STRIKEOUT MACHINE

YOO TAE-SIK, YOU'RE BACK!

WHY IS HE SUDDENLY SO GOOD?

Two strikeouts in a row.

Yoon Jun-ho is up.

Jun-ho did have a pitch-by-hit
against Soo-chang today.

The hitter has a batting average
of .700 in CK Monsters,

but he has no hits today.

AN EMBARRASSING(?) RECORD

WELCOME, JUN-HO

DONG-EUI 4 : 2 MONSTERS

WITH FULL FORCE
BALL

A SCARY WELCOME

That was with full force.

-Watch out, Jun-ho.
-Full force.

That was the fastest speed.

I'LL CRUSH YOU NO MATTER WHAT

PERFECT CONTROL
STRIKE

It's outside.

HIT IT IF YOU CAN

JUN-HO CAN'T GET THE TIMING RIGHT

The count is one and one.

Hee-kwan cannot let his guard down
against Jun-ho.

The count is one and one.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MOMENT
FOR BOTH PLAYERS

The third pitch.

IT'S A HIT!

NO WAY

PLEASE

CALL!

The third pitch skipped off the bat.

-Call!
-It flies high.

Three!

-It flies high.
-Three!

WILL IT BE A HIT?

Third baseman.

WILL IT BE A LOSS?

Three!

Third baseman.

He catches. Three outs.

Man, come on.

MAN, RYU HYUN-IN…

DONG-EUI COULDN'T GET ON BASE

Hey, he didn't let anyone go.
He found his zone.

-Great job.
-He found his zone.

CK Monsters are on the field,

completely overwhelming Yoon Jun-ho.

All three batters retired quickly
by Yoo Hee-kwan.

Man, his pitches are amazing.

DISAPPOINTED

Come on, Jun-ho.

Jun-ho is adorable.

-He's good.
-You wanted to hit, didn't you?

He made so much effort.

JEONG YONG-GEOM,
DREAMING OF COMING FROM BEHIND

The difference is two points.

CK Monsters will be batting.

They only have two chances to bat,

the eighth and ninth innings.

The difference is still two.

Lee Jun-seon is up as the third pitcher

since the last inning.

Let's score one this time.

-Get ready.
-Go!

Eight and nine are good.
I need seven to go out.

DESPERATE FOR A BATTER TO GO OUT

Lee Hong-ku is first at bat.

IT'S A CHANCE TO START
TURNING THE GAME AROUND

Watch it.

HIT-BY-PITCH!

-We got it.
-Jun-ho!

A hit-by-pitch.

HONG-KU GETS STRUCK AND WALKS

Man.

JUN-SEON, WHY DID YOU…

Is Lee Hong-ku all right?

He walks to first base.

-What a relief.
-It hit his shoulder.

DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY
LETS A RUNNER GET ON BASE

THE GAME SLOWLY BEGINS TO TURN

This time, he gets on base
after getting hit by a pitch.

Once again, the first batter is on base
for CK Monsters.

Ryu Hyun-in is next at bat.

HYUN-IN MUST KEEP THIS FLOW GOING

I'm sure Hyun-in will hit
if the pitch is around 140km/h.

-I think he'll do well.
-Yes.

LET'S HIT, HYUN-IN!

Ryu Hyun-in kept his eyes on him.

TWO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE
UP AGAINST EACH OTHER

He hits a low pitch.

Run.

IS THIS

REALLY A HIT?

No!

He hits a low pitch.

-The ball is slow.
-Over here!

First baseman tags him out.

Oh, okay, good.

It's second base, kid.

CK Monsters are now close enough to score.

They got that chance.

As you can see,
the ball bounced, and Lee Hong-ku

couldn't find the right timing.

But the infielder was
going to throw to first base anyway.

If the runner is hit by the batted ball,
he's out.

That's why Lee Hong-ku
had to slow down and avoid it.

You're right.

Dong-eui made an unfortunate decision,

which helped CK Monsters seize

a good chance.

And Han Kyeong-been is at bat.

This is his last match as CK Monsters.

After today's match,

Han Kyeong-been will join Hanwha Eagles,

a member of the KBO League.

Will he create a great end?

This is his last time at bat
as CK Monsters.

-Yes.
-I hope he'll make a hit and score.

Please.

Make sure you bring us a great ending!

Please make one good hit.

THE TEAM AND KYEONG-BEEN
BOTH NEED A HIT

We have a runner on second.

HE MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN

FIRST PITCH, FASTBALL
BALL

Good. Get closer.

Don't dodge it.

HE MUST KEEP HIS EYES

ON EVERY SINGLE PITCH

He hits the breaking ball.
A foul near first base.

2ND PITCH, FOUL

This may be the last time he stands at bat

-in CK Monsters' uniform.
-Yes.

This is his last time with his team.

He desperately needs a hit.

Will this moment
become a photo he'll forget?

Or will it become an unforgettable memory?

Will it turn into a photo
of this hot summer?

It all depends on this bat.

The pitch is high.

Han Kyeong-been knows the pitcher will

pitch to win against him.

Because next batters are even better,

so he'll try to make him go out.

He must swing aggressively.

THE FIERCE FIGHT OVER THE BALL COUNT

WHAT KIND OF A PITCH WILL HE THROW?

It's high.

Han Kyeong-been calmly waits.

THE COUNT IS TO HIS ADVANTAGE

GOOD EYES!

Good!

-One more.
-Again.

Just make sure you walk out!
Get it together!

JUN-SEON DOESN'T HAVE
TOO MANY CHOICES LEFT

Personally speaking,

it would be nice to get four balls,

but I hope
Han Kyeong-been will get to swing.

It'll be a great memory

for him and his teammates.

Just do your thing!

Stand in front!

He'll throw soon! It's a short one!

Kyeong-been, make sure
you end this with a great note.

EVERYONE IS HOPEFUL

It wasn't just
how that was my last time at bat

or the last time on this show.

I just wanted to win.
That's all I thought about.

THERE'S NO ESCAPE

THIS MAY BE HIS LAST BATTLE

The last chance
as a member of CK Monsters.

What will Han Kyeong-been do?

IT'S A HIT!

A SINGLE HIT?

PLEASE…

It's a hit!

HIS BALL FLIES TO THE RIGHT

-It's a hit!
-Han Kyeong-been hits!

OH NO…

NICE, KYEONG-BEEN

-Yes!
-Run!

DASHING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT

Han Kyeong-been hits!

Han Kyeong-been hits!

Runner at second runs to third and home.

DONG-EUI 4 : 3 MONSTERS

-Third base!
-Keep going!

And Han Kyeong-been runs to the third.

HE THROWS TO THE THIRD BASE

WILL HE KEEP THE FLOW GOING?

OR WILL HE BE STOPPED HERE?

HOW WILL THIS BATTLE END?

And Han Kyeong-been runs to the third.

He runs to third base.

HAN KYEONG-BEEN, SAFE ON THE 3RD!

-Safe!
-Yes!

WE'RE SO PROUD, KYEONG-BEEN

He gave us one last present.

PROUD OF HIM

That was a good hit.

Man.

A GREAT FINAL HIT!

-Nice timing.
-I finally did it.

Han Kyeong-been creates a dramatic moment.

That was such a touching moment.

He waited to hit one pitch
and hits a triple.

He leaves a great memory to his teammates,

which also became
a beautiful memory for him.

He created this dramatic moment.

It's now four to three,
one point difference.

Han Kyeong-been is at the third.

1 OUT, RUNNER ON 3RD BASE

MANAGER JUNG BO-MYUNG GIVES AN ORDER

ONE STEP!

DONG-EUI'S INFIELDERS WALK IN

It's one step.

TO STOP THEM FROM SCORING

WE CAN'T LET IT BECOME A TIE!

Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

The infielders walk in.

It's up to Jeong Keun-woo
to finish this moment.

Everything is on Jeong Keun-woo now.

THEY MUST CATCH UP

SWING AND A MISS
STRIKE

THINGS ARE ABOUT TO EXPLODE

CLOUDS OF WAR SURROUND THE GROUND

Man, I hope he runs out.

-Hit it high.
-Just one.

Han Kyeong-been on third base.
It's a tie if he runs in.

-Jeong Keun-woo hits.
-Over there!

-Jeong Keun-woo hits.
-Over there!

The third baseman spins.

He's tagged out on the first.

NICE DEFENSE!

THINGS AREN'T GOING AS HE EXPECTED

Jeong looks disappointed.

Darn it.

The slider came in low,

so Jeong Keun-woo tried to hit it in play.

But the third baseman's defense was
very solid and calmly done.

Yoo Tae-ung forces Jeong out.
One out to go.

Han Kyeong-been is still on third base.

ONLY 4 OUTS TO GO
UNTIL THEIR FIRST DEFEAT

Lee Taek-keun is in
at four to three, one point difference.

TAEK-KEUN RETURNS AT A TIE

I'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS TIME

HE HAD A PERFECT CHANCE TO SCORE

WITH ALL BASES LOADED
AT THE END OF THE 4TH

AND IN THE INNING…

HE SWUNG AND MISSED, STRUCK OUT!

TAEK-KEUN COULDN'T DELIVER
WHEN HIS TEAM NEEDED HIM

IF I MISS, WE LOSE!

Make it happen.

-You have to do it.
-Make it happen.

-Let's do this.
-Go for a tie.

JUN-SEON MUST STOP HIM

It bounced.

It bounced.

-It bounced.
-Stay.

KYEONG-BEEN RETURNS

He didn't come in.

-Go!
-Go!

Jun-seon, focus.

JUN-SEON THROWS A WILD PITCH

Actually, that was

an impossible pitch to block.

How do you block that?

He blocked the ball
as it bounced off to the side.

It dropped in the batter's box.

COMPLETELY IMPREGNABLE

He saves one point.

Taek-keun V!

TAEK-KEUN CALMS DOWN AGAIN

2 OUTS, RUNNER STILL ON THE 3RD

PLEASE

Look low.

HE MUST HAVE HIS BREAKTHROUGH

It's a hit. It flies out.

-It's a hit. It flies out.
-Okay. Go.

WILL IT BE

A HIT?

It's a hit. It flies out.

The shortstop misses!

It's a hit. It flies out.

THE BALL BOUNCES
BEHIND THE SHORTSTOP

-Okay.
-He did it.

NICE, TAEK-KEUN

-Man.
-That's a crazy hit.

They all make weird hits.

Han Kyeong-been returns home!

Four to four.

IT'S A TIE

Lee Taek-keun's tying hit!

THE GAME IS BACK TO GROUND ZERO
WITH LEE TAEK-KEUN'S TYING HIT

-Victory, Lee Taek-keun!
-Victory, Lee Taek-keun!

TODAY'S GAME IS SO MUCH FUN!

HEY! GOOD SWING!

-You did it.
-Okay!

KYEONG-BEEN'S BIG GIFT

Good one.

End of the eighth, two outs.

Today's game begins now!

Han Kyeong-been gave

CK Monsters

an unforgettable memory.

That was just amazing.

Lee Taek-keun.

He came fully ready for this game today.

But he couldn't do his bit
when he got a chance.

But at the last moment,
he made this tying hit.

Lee Taek-keun's timely hit
makes four to four, a tie.

Han Kyeong-been hits and scores

and finishes this chase.

That HBP was critical.

No out, HBP.

IT BEGAN WITH THE HBP

SIGH…

Lee Taek-keun on first base is
a runner to turn this around.

Batter three, Park Yong-taek is at bat.

CAPTAIN PARK IS AT BAT

THEY'LL NOW TURN THE GAME AROUND

-We turned it into a tie.
-Man.

-That's just…
-We have to win now.

WILL THEY CONTINUE TO PLAY WELL?

First pitch is way out.

This won't be easy

because Captain Park bats rather well now.

Hey, Captain! Hit it!

HEY, CAPTAIN, I TRUST YOU!

He must do something as the captain.

Just as Han Kyeong-been
turn this game into a tie,

Captain Park Yong-taek would also want

-to give a gift to Han Kyeong-been.
-Sure.

NO, YOU CAN'T GIVE ONE
STRIKE

Oh, man.

Good!

NICE, JUN-SEON!

CAPTAIN TAEK, PLEASE…

It'll be great if he hits a home run.

The best situation is

for us to score here,
then strike them out in ninth.

WILL THINGS GO AS THEY WISH?

He hits. It flies to the right center.

THE BALL FLIES TO THE RIGHT CENTER

-No!
-No!

-Let's go.
-Go!

LET'S TURN THE TABLES!

It flies to the right center.

It drops!

Lee Taek-keun
runs through the second to third.

TAEK-KEUN RUNS TO THE 3RD

He makes it on the third base!

THAT'S OUR CAPTAIN

-Let's go!
-Good!

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU MAKE A HIT BEFORE OUR EYES

Captain Park Yong-taek.

The eighth inning
for CK Monsters isn't over yet!

WE TRUSTED YOU, CAPTAIN

Lava Taek, Park Yong-taek

makes the ballpark fiery again.

SETS THE PARK ON FIRE

He didn't miss the pitcher's mistake.

It skipped off the bat a little,
but Captain Park

managed to make a hit.

And Taek-keun also ran aggressively.

-Yes.
-Runners are at first and third.

The Monsters are all amazing today.

And Park Yong-taek's hit

leaves the batter's box
to the clean-up batter,

Jung Eui-yoon.

If he hits in this situation,

-it's over.
-It's over. Yes.

They're lucky with the order.

Jung Eui-yoon was the one
who helped the team score

-until this inning.
-Yes.

Jung Eui-yoon watches the first pitch.

NICE CHOICE

Hit it over!

Great job!

The slider was a difficult one,

-but he held himself back.
-Yes.

EUI-YOON HOLDS BACK NICELY

If Lee Taek-keun of third comes in,

CK Monsters can turn today's game around.

He pitches deep into his body.

HE ALMOST WENT OUT
AFTER GETTING HIT BY A PITCH

Lee Jun-seon must have
a tough time on the mound,

but he made two sharp pitches
against Jung Eui-yoon.

Although they were balls,
his pitches are sharp.

He needs a strike.

A PERFECT ROUTE
STRIKE

SIGH…

NICE PITCH!

THAT WAS GOOD…

Let's go!

-He couldn't hit this one.
-Okay!

He can throw balls and strikes,

and they're all sharp.

Pinpoint pitching.

I can see how Lee Jun-seon

also doesn't want to lose this game.

And Yoon Jun-ho's framing.

Jung looks disappointed.

HE BECOMES MORE AND MORE SPITEFUL

-I think Eui-yoon will hit one.
-Really.

-He'll hit a big one.
-I think so.

Just one, Eui-yoon.

PLEASE REWARD MY FAITH

DONG-EUI 4 : 4 MONSTERS

Two balls, one strike.

IT'S A HIT!

IS IT REALLY

A VALID HIT?

It's a hit! Second baseman

catches, misses, then steps on the base.

Three outs. The inning is over.

But in the end,

CK Monster is now in a tie

thanks to Han Kyeong-been.

The game begins now.

THE INNING STILL LINGERS

I mean…

Did they stage this?

How can Han Kyeong-been do that

during his final game?

-How is this possible?
-Isn't it fun?

This can't be done
unless it was staged beforehand.

How was my line?

That photo talk.

I loved it.

I was annoyed. I wanted to stand out,

but you ruined it.

-There's a difference…
-Okay, fine.

It was cool. It was really cool.

It's now the ninth inning.

The real game begins now.

TOP OF THE 9TH INNING
DONG-EUI 4 : 4 : MONSTERS

DONG-EUI
MONSTERS

THEY CANNOT LOSE A SINGLE POINT
IN THIS INNING

-Hee-kwan, you have to pitch.
-Okay.

You have to pitch.

-Sounds good, Yoo Hope.
-Good!

HE CHOOSES HEE-KWAN AGAIN

Let's win.

THE RESULT DEPENDS ON THIS

We've done well.
It'll be a shame to lose now.

Right?

Okay, look.

Let's go.

Let's do this.

-Let's go!
-We got this!

-Let's play well.
-Let's go.

-If we score, we win.
-Let's go.

-One, two, three!
-Go!

Today's game is very close.

The ninth inning begins.

Yoo Hee-kwan is still on the mound.

-One point will decide this game.
-Yes.

It was a battle of losing
or earning one point first.

I thought we could win
if I stop them here.

Defense.

First up is batter eight, Wi Jeong-hyeon.

FIRST BATTER, WI JEONG-HYEON

Let's go out!

You have to run.

I always trusted Hee-kwan to deliver,

but these college students are
all good at batting.

Foul. It's a strike.

JEONG-HYEON SWINGS AGGRESSIVELY

It's not easy to pitch

because Yoo Hee-kwan must stop them here.

THE BATTLE OVER THE FIRST PITCH
ISN'T EASY

HE MUST STOP THEM

Manager Lee Seung-yuop
still put Yoo Hee-kwan out.

CATCHES

It flies toward the pitcher.

Yoo Hee-kwan calmly throws.

1 OUT

Let's go!

SIGH…

Nice pitch. Good job.

-The game is ours.
-That's amazing.

The game is ours!

I wonder how Dong-eui feels

as they play with a pitcher with 100 wins.

HE'S JUST PROUD

Jung Ung-chan is in the box.

9TH BATTER, JUNG UNG-CHAN

Let's do this, Ung-chan!

I WON'T LET YOU HIT EVEN ONCE

DETERMINED

A breaking ball. Strike.

It was a slow curveball,
although he wanted to hit quickly.

IT'S TOUGH TO FIND THE TIMING
WITH HEE-KWAN'S PITCH

If Hee-kwan can't do this…

He has that energy.
He has the winning energy.

It's as if this is the 30th win.

MR. ZERO, YOO HEE-KWAN,
A MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOSE

-Hey.
-Look out for a bunt or a sudden move.

-Okay.
-Watch out for a bunt.

THE PLAYERS DO NOT LET GO
OF THE TENSION

To three.

-Okay!
-Yes!

THIS TIME,

WILL HE RUN OUT?

He catches. The third baseman throws.

-Ryu Hyun-in's perfect defense.
-Nice.

2 OUTS

There's nowhere to escape
in the Monsters' infield.

He should be commended.
That was excellent.

HYUN-IN THROWS TO 1ST

WE COMMEND YOU, HYUN-IN

-He's really good.
-He's good.

He's really good at defense.

-Come on!
-He caught it.

COME ON

Two outs.

RYU HYUN-IN'S PERFECT DEFENSE

We're on a roll right now,

-so we can't have a mistake.
-Right.

We need to see great plays,

something like what Ryu Hyun-in just did.

Kang Jun-seo is at bat.

Yoo Hee-kwan must be careful now.

Kang Jun-seo went on base
every single time

-except for once.
-You're right.

HIS TRIPLE TURNED THE GAME
TO DONG-EUI'S ADVANTAGE

CK MONSTERS WERE STRUCK
WITH HIS ENERGY

KANG JUN-SEO IS EVEN MORE DETERMINED

AND THERE'S ONLY ONE OUT LEFT

First pitch, strike.

He's giving it his all.

He still has energy left.

Go, Hee-kwan.

I'LL STRIKE YOU OUT

-Ball.
-Toward his body.

That was a ball.

It wasn't a strike.

It was decided as too deep.

NARROWLY A BALL

HEE-KWAN SHARES A SIGN

(MESSAGE RECEIVED)

A breaking ball. Swing and a miss.

HIS BREAKING BALL
COMPLETELY FOOLED THE BATTER

The Yoo Hee-kwan we know is
someone who plays like this.

That was crazy.

Two strikes, one ball.

THE COUNT IS ADVANTAGEOUS
FOR THE PITCHER

-Hey!
-Strike!

-Hey!
-Strike!

Swing and a miss, strikeout.

But he's running.

NO WAY

IS IT SAFE?

HE DASHES IN HIS LAST CHANCE

-He's running.
-Hey.

Uncaught third strike.

Three were struck out and the inning ends.

The inning ends like this.

I'm sweating.

-Hong-ku.
-Are you ready?

Hong-ku! Hurry up and come in!

I must pray now.

He's here.

YOU DID WELL

Hee-kwan. Just one more.

-Good.
-Good job.

-He goes out as always.
-That's crazy.

The game continues
to the bottom of the ninth.

BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING
DONG-EUI 4 : 4 : MONSTERS

Dong-eui sends out
Cho Hyo-jun on the mound.

NO. 4 SEO DONG-WOOK

CK Monsters now need

only one point.

-One point will end this game.
-Yes.

However, if we play an extra inning,
we need a tie-breaker.

We begin with runners
at first and second bases.

Stop them. Let's play an extra inning.

It'll be fun to play.

MANAGER JUNG BO-MYUNG'S HIDDEN CARD,
CHO HYO-JUN

-Even if it's a hit, throw as you like.
-Okay.

CHO HYO-JUN: 190CM, 90KG
PITCHES AT MID-130KM/H

Batter five, Seo Dong-wook.

BATTER 5, SEO DONG-WOOK

The bottom of the ninth.

Will CK Monsters end this game

in the ninth inning?

Let's end it in the ninth.

-End it.
-Man.

DESPERATE

I kept telling myself that we won't lose.

I had complete confidence.
