THE TWO CATCHERS FIGHT FOR PRIDE

He started to run.
But he's out on second base.

THIS IS THE KEY PLAYER

YOON JUN-HO SHOWS THEM
WHAT HE'S MADE OF

JUN-HO, DON'T DO THAT

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

It flies fast
and goes over the left fielder.

DONG-EUI SCORES FIRST EASILY



DONG-EUI PUSHES AHEAD
WITH A STRONG SQUEEZE PLAY

DONG-EUI 4 : 1 MONSTERS

I FEEL LIKE HE'S MESSING WITH ME…

THE MONSTERS ARE BEING PLAYED

THEY'RE HELPLESS
BEFORE A LEFT-HANDED PITCHER

THE MONSTERS HAVE MET
THE STRONGEST ENEMY

-Again!

THIS IS PRO BASEBALL

It's a historical moment.

THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGES SUDDENLY

THE MONSTERS LOOK FOR A CHANCE

A 2-BASE HIT AT LAST

DONG-EUI 4 : 1 MONSTERS

DONG-EUI 4 : 2 MONSTERS



THE MONSTERS BEGIN TO CATCH UP

They're CK Monsters.

ONE MORE

THEY'RE DESPERATE
FOR KYEONG-BEEN'S HIT

MAKE SURE YOU END THIS

HE HITS!

HONG-KU REACHES HOME

MIRACULOUS 3-BASE HIT

THE MONSTERS ALMOST CATCH UP
WITH DONG-EUI

He did it!

HE MISSED IT!

Han Kyeong-been reaches home!

DONG-EUI 4 : 4 MONSTERS

THE DETERMINED MONSTERS MADE A TIE

Han Kyeong-been hits and scores
and finishes this chase.

AN UNFORGETTABLE GAME

WE CAN'T LOSE TODAY

It's the bottom of the ninth inning.

Will CK Monsters end this game…

THE GAME WILL BE OVER WITH ONE POINT

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO WIN?

THE REAL GAME BEGINS NOW

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

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

Cho Hyo-jun will pitch
for Dong-eui University.

NO. 4 SEO DONG-WOOK

CK Monsters now need

-only one point.
-Yes.

-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.

Yes.

Stop them. Let's play an extra inning.

It'll be fun to play.

DONG-EUI'S RELIEF PITCHER
CHO HYO-JUN

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

Yes, sir.

MANAGER JUNG BO-MYUNG'S WINNING HAND

Batter five, 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.

-Timing.
-End it!

LET'S END IT

-Let's go!
-Will he end it at once?

DESPERATE

I kept thinking that we won't lose.

I was totally confident.

BALL

It was high.

DONG-WOOK PICKS OUT
THE BALL PRECISELY

Cho Hyo-jun must be having a hard time

because he's pitching in the last inning.

-He must feel a lot of pressure.
-That's right.

FEELING A LOT OF PRESSURE
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING

Relax!

You can do it!

PARCHED LIPS

Let's go!

-It was a ball.
-He can't control the pitch.

2 BALLS

-All right!
-All right!

LET'S GO

Choke them.

Let's go.

Two balls. Seo Dong-wook.

3 BALLS

Three balls.

Pitcher Cho Hyo-jun
isn't able to throw a strike.

PERPLEXED

Get on base!

SCORE A POINT!

Pitcher Cho Hyo-jun
hasn't been able to throw a strike yet.

THE BALL COUNT IS FAVORABLE
TO THE BATTER

DONG-EUI 4 : 4 MONSTERS

-Strike!
-Seo Dong-wook just watched this ball.

-Strike!
-Seo Dong-wook just watched this ball.

PLEASE JUST ONE…

It was a strike.

He'll throw another fastball.

Seo Dong-wook can swing the bat.

He can hit and he has power.

Of course.

THE BEST BATTING COUNT

HOW WILL THIS FIGHT END?

Seo Dong-wook was the one
to hit the first home run

for CK Monsters.

STRIKE

-Strike!
-It's a strike.

I was there to hit a home run.

But the manager
gave me a sign to not hit it.

He gave me a waiting sign.

TO HIT OR NOT TO HIT

A FULL COUNT

WHAT WILL DONG-WOOK DO?

It's low. He holds back. Four balls.

A BASE ON BALLS!

It's low. He holds back. Four balls.

SO HAPPY

He held back on the changeup.
Now, he's the first base runner.

DONG-WOOK HELD BACK
ON A DIFFICULT CHANGEUP

HOLDING BACK IS WINNING, DONG-WOOK!

BITTER

I wanted to hit from the beginning.

-Now it's Kim Moon-ho.
-It's Kim Moon-ho.

NUMBER 6 BATTER KIM MOON-HO

No outs. Seo Dong-wook is on first base.

NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

-Now…
-Actually,

he needs to bunt.

What will be his decision?

-Right.
-Yes.

Will he attack with force?

-It's a bunt.
-It's a bunt. Yes.

BUNT POSITION

SIGNALLING

HE ORDERS THE INFIELDERS TO MOVE UP

WILL MANAGER LEE'S STRATEGY WORK?

A slash bunt!

FAKE BUNT

A slash bunt!

DONG-EUI IS CONFUSED

Manager Lee.

It wasn't a bunt strategy.

MANAGER LEE'S STRATEGY
CONFUSED DONG-EUI

(SMILING)

They need to think carefully.

Because they need to score a point
no matter what,

the runner must go to second base.

Yes.

Moon-ho.

MANAGER LEE GIVES A NEW STRATEGY

GIVING ORDERS

NODDING

BUNT?

I wonder how they'll play.
I'm very curious.

BUNT? SLASH BUNT?

He gets ready to bunt.

-This time, he fails to bunt.
-Foul!

FAILED BUNT

He fails to bunt.

It's a foul.

Jeez.

SIGHING…

-Jeez.
-No.

-What?
-What's going on?

He wasn't able to play out the strategy.

So, what Manager Lee
had planned didn't work out.

NOW IT'S TWO STRIKES

Anyway, Kim Moon-ho has to send

the runner on first base to second base.

MANAGER LEE DELIVERS
THE FINAL STRATEGY

WHAT KIND OF STRATEGY
IS IT THIS TIME?

IS IT ANOTHER BUNT?

This is his third bunt.

If it's a foul,
it'll be considered a strike,

and it'll be a strikeout.

TWO-STRIKE BUNT RULE

Kim Moon-ho still has a wide grip.

Come on, Moon-ho!

-A slash bunt!
-Strike!

It's in. It's a strikeout looking.

A slash bunt!

It's in. It's a strikeout looking.

Kim Moon-ho couldn't do his job.

MISSION FAILED

It was

an important out count
for Cho Hyo-jun to relax.

THE TABLES HAVE TURNED IN DONG-EUI'S FAVOR

It's okay.

CLENCHING TEETH

Runner is still on first base.

What are the Monsters good at?

When someone makes a mistake,
the batter makes up for it.

-Right.
-Lee Hong-ku needs to do it.

Let's put the runner on second base.

We should've done it.

HONG-KU, LET'S TURN THE TABLES!

NO WAY

-He's hit again!
-He's hit!

HIT-BY-PITCH

What's going on?

A BENCH-CLEARING FIGHT
IS ABOUT TO BREAK OUT

NERVOUS

It's today's second hit-by-pitch.

IT'S HIS SECOND HIT-BY-PITCH

HONG-KU WAS HIT
IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING

HOLDING BACK IS WINNING, HONG-KU

-He didn't do it on purpose.
-No.

All right.

Let's go!

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

Seo Dong-wook is in a scoring position.

And Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

THE FUTURE OF THE MONSTERS,
RYU HYUN-IN

This is a huge chance for him.

-Hyun-in!
-You need to hit.

Han Kyeong-been hit really well today.

-Hyun-in has to do it too.
-Of course.

He won't get another chance like this.

THAT ONE LAST POINT
DEPENDS ON HYUN-IN'S BATTING

Ryu Hyun-in.

-First pitch. He simply looked.
-Strike!

Ryu Hyun-in.

-First pitch. He simply looked.
-Strike!

PLEASE, HYUN-IN…

He's pitching with all his might.

Cho Hyo-jun's pitch is good

because his sliders are hard
for the left-handed batters to hit.

Go!

Ryu Hyun-in has to be ready
for the outward pitches.

Yes.

Outward pitch. It's a foul.

Outward pitch. It's a foul.

In front of you! Hit the good ones!

Let's get on first and second bases.
Come on!

STANDING CLOSER
TO HIT A BREAKING BALL

PLEASE HIT IT

He hits.

He hits.

OKAY, PLEASE

-Run!
-Go over!

NO, STOP

-No.
-Stop.

He hits. The pitcher catches it.

EVERY RUNNER STARTS TO RUN

The hitter is out on first base.

2 OUTS

The runners are on second and third bases.

2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD BASES

It's the bottom of the ninth inning
with two outs. Han Kyeong-been is at bat.

BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING, 2 OUTS

Today's game will be over with one hit.

I don't want him to miss this last chance.

I'd like him to make this
the best game of his life.

The last chance has come to Kyeong-been!

I feel like he'll hit.

That's baseball. He'll do it.

Previously,

he contributed the most to creating a tie.

A TIMELY HIT
IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING

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

And Han Kyeong-been runs to the third.

KYEONG-BEEN'S 3-BASE HIT
PUT THEM IN HIGH SPIRITS

WILL HE SHOW
A MIRACLE AGAIN THIS TIME?

BALL

-Hey!
-Hey.

CHO HYO-JUN LOST THE CONTROL
OF THE PITCH ONCE AGAIN

You can do it.

PLEASE STOP THEM

SUFFOCATING TENSION

-Strike!
-It's an outward strike.

OUTWARD STRIKE

-Cho Hyo-jun pitches outward really well.
-Strike.

1 BALL, 1 STRIKE
NECK-AND-NECK COUNT

Runners are on third and second bases.

Dong-eui won't let
the Monsters win the game.

Pitcher Cho Hyo-jun.

2 OUTS, BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING

-Batter Han Kyeong-been.
-Kyeong-been, hit it.

It's a showdown in the bottom
of the ninth inning with two outs.

He lets go of an outward pitch.

2 BALLS

KYEONG-BEEN HOLDS BACK
ON THE OUTWARD PITCH

THE FATE OF THE TEAM

DEPENDS ON THE TWO PEOPLE'S MATCH

THE MONSTERS HAVE FAITH
IN KYEONG-BEEN

Han Kyeong-been.

He holds back on the fourth pitch.

3 BALLS

Jeez.

-Nice.
-Nice.

Good.

THIS WILL BE THE DECIDING PITCH

Jeong Keun-woo is the next batter.

It's okay to let him walk.

Not in the middle. You can let him walk.

Don't be greedy.

Kyeong-been.

Hit only what you can.

Don't be greedy.

WILL HE HIT

OR HOLD BACK?

Wait.

He hit! It's a foul.

FOUL

He should've waited.

HE SHOULD'VE HELD BACK

HE'S FACED WITH A FULL COUNT

THEY CAN'T RELAX
NOT EVEN FOR A MOMENT

A three-two count. It's a full count.

BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING
2 OUTS, FULL COUNT

Han Kyeong-been made a tie.

Will he be able to finish the game?

ONE LAST PITCH

THERE IS NO NEXT ONE

This next pitch
is going to be very important.

If he hits, today's game will be over.

Please.

PRAYING DESPERATELY

Please.

FOR KYEONG-BEEN'S WALK-OFF HIT

He hits a high pitch!

HE HITS!

He hits a high pitch!

He hits!

-What?
-Hey!

-Okay!
-He did it!

Back.

Center-right!

-Go!
-Go!

-He catches it!
-Jeez!

SHOCKED

HE CAUGHT THAT?

SCREAMING!

LAUGHING OUT LOUD

Gosh.

UNBELIEVABLE

THAT'S INSANE

-He catches it!
-Jeez!

It's an unbelievable defense.

We're all watching this,
but nobody can believe this.

He hits a high pitch!

Center-right!

-He catches it!
-Jeez!

Super catch.
It was the right fielder Park Jae-seong.

He's the best.

SUPER CATCH PARK JAE-SEONG

Seriously.

He doesn't know baseball.

DEVASTATED

Good job!

A HERO THAT SAVED THE TEAM

SHOUTING FOR JOY!

Good job.

GRABBING HIS HEART

Nice.

Jeez.

-Seriously.
-My heart hurts.

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

EVERYONE IN THE DUGOUT IS FROZEN

This game isn't over yet.

(DAZED)

It's the best.

I was ready to shout a walk-off.

SHAKY HAND

What's this?

It's a drama.

IT'S A DRAMA

"It ain't over till it's over."

I was reminded of Yogi Berra's phrase.

Everyone thought the game was over.

This is…

We couldn't say anything
after the ninth inning was over.

Let me tell you what will happen.
They'll play extra innings.

A Clean Sweep has tie-breaking procedures.

-Right.
-Runners are on first and second bases.

Two runners will already be
on first and second bases

before the first batter starts to bat.

Yes.

It's a tie-breaker.
When they play defense…

Number two batter is likely to bunt.

It'll probably be a force-out,

-so be bold if there's good timing.
-Is it 100 percent?

First, hold him close to the base.

Let's watch the situation
and go 100 percent.

-A hundred percent.
-Yes.

Starting with the second batter,
we'll play by ear.

Play defense first. Don't lose any points.

-Okay.
-Come back without losing points.

-Don't lose any points.
-Let's go.

-Let's do it.
-One, two, three.

CK MONSTERS HAS WON ALL 3 GAMES

Okay. Now it's a tie-breaker.

Let's do this together.

-It's our last offense.
-Let's go.

One, two, three!

Now, it's the tenth inning.

The first hitter is Park Jae-seong
who caught Kyeong-been's hit.

-He stopped his team from losing,
-Yes

and now he's at bat,

so he must be very confident.

BUNT POSITION

He's getting ready to bunt.

Jae-seong, you must bunt.

He has to bunt
and get on base no matter what.

The third and first basemen
are really pressuring the batter.

THE INFIELDERS MOVED UP
TO PLAY DEFENSE

The batter must feel like
they're right up close.

THE BUNT STRATEGY MUST WORK

WHAT WILL HEE-KWAN'S FIRST PITCH BE?

-Let's go!
-Go for it.

FOUL

Come on. It was obvious.

Because I could see it.

JAE-SEONG BUNTED A HIGH BALL

Shall we hold the runners close again?

A tie-breaker is really hard to play.

There can be a lot
of different circumstances.

GIVING SIGNS

-Let's go!
-Go for it!

Let's go!

Ready to bunt.

-Holding the runner close on second base!
-Okay.

SUDDENLY HOLDING THE RUNNER

Even if the runners are ready for this,

it prevents them
from running a step faster.

I told you it was important.

-That's what he's doing.
-Right.

You can do it.

The first batter Park Jae-seong
is desperate to bunt.

You need to focus.

BALL

DONG-EUI'S SUDDEN SLASH BUNT

Park Jae-seong tried to do a slash bunt.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL
DONG-EUI'S INTENTION

Even for Yoo Hee-kwan
who has great control, it's really hard

to pitch in a situation like this.

Also, the inning is lasting too long.

Yoo Hee-kwan must be feeling tired.

We'll win if he stops this one.

Hee-kwan has done this a lot
in the Korean Series.

Dong-eui is extremely well organized.

JAE-SEONG GETS READY TO BUNT AGAIN

Previously, he did a slash bunt.

Yoo Hee-kwan's third pitch.

Yoo Hee-kwan's third pitch.

He bunts.

HE HIT!

The runner is out at first base.

One out.
Runners are on third and second bases.

-Nice bunt!
-Good job.

NICE BUNT

THEIR STRATEGY WORKED

Park Jae-seong bunted perfectly.

He has solid basic skills.

He does.

NICE JAE-SEONG

That was a great bunt.

THE MONSTERS LET THE RUNNERS
GET ON 2ND AND 3RD BASES

He bunted well.

Timeout.

May I visit the mound now?

Number three batter is next.
He's right-handed.

-A right-handed batter is better, right?
-Yes.

-You're more comfortable, right?
-Yes.

Because it's a right-handed batter,
I'll pull the infielders in.

-Pitch low. Induce ground balls.
-Okay.

-We'll win.
-Okay.

-Block them well. We'll win.
-Yes.

THEY'LL TRY TO THROW OUT
3RD BASE RUNNER

Manager Lee visited everyone
in the infield.

He trusts Yoo Hee-kwan
and lets him keep pitching.

-This is real baseball.
-It is.

It's my first tie-breaker.

It's my first too.

THE MONSTERS AREN'T FAMILIAR
WITH A TIE-BREAKER

We should watch out for Yoo Tae-ung.

Today, he had two hits in three at-bats.

The infielders are pulled forward.
Runners are on second and third bases.

Yoo Tae-ung is at bat.

IT'S POSSIBLE TO SCORE
2 POINTS WITH A HIT

Tae-ung, hit with confidence.

GIVING SIGNS

Guys, you need to back me up quickly.

-Back me up quickly.
-Okay.

Here's what I think.

We think that he's going to strike
because he hits well.

But a squeeze play pops into my head.
Doesn't it?

So outfielders and pitchers
have to keep on their toes.

Tae-ung had two hits today.

SEASON RECORD
3 AT-BATS, 2 HITS

Dong-wook.

(KEEP A SQUEEZE PLAY IN MIND)

DONG-EUI 4 : 4 MONSTERS

HE HITS!

It flies high.
It goes over to the foul territory.

FOUL

(WILL IT BE A SLASH BUNT?)

TAE-UNG'S INTIMIDATING SWING

Tae-ung, that was good.

MANAGER JUNG KEEPS GIVING SIGNS

The Monsters can't predict
Dong-eui's strategy, so they're nervous.

-Right.
-Yes.

Only Manager Jung Bo-myung knows
what that strategy is.

I can't even make a guess.

UNPREDICTABLE

I decided to use the strategy
I saved for last

to get our team fired up.

Let them score only one point.

Only one point.

The extended tenth inning
has become a match

between Manager Lee
and Manager Jung's strategies.

Go more. Move more.

Go more.

DONG-EUI'S 2ND BASE RUNNER
INCREASES THE WIDTH

DONG-EUI 4 : 4 MONSTERS

Tae-ung!

3RD BASE RUNNER MAKES A DASH

THE BATTER'S SQUEEZE BUNT

3RD BASE RUNNER
REACHES HOME ALREADY

-He catches it.
-Go.

-He's taken out on first base.
-He keeps going.

And!

HE KEEPS GOING!

ATTENTION

Go.

Go.

HE'S MAKING 2ND BASE RUNNER KEEP RUNNING?

That's it. Count.

Jeez, this…

He needs to throw.

He catches it.
He's taken out on first base.

-Safe!
-The two runners reach home!

THEY SCORE 2 POINTS INSTANTLY

THAT'S DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

It's another squeeze play.
Two runners reached home.

This is it.

Dong-eui University is playing
unpredictable baseball.

Not only squeeze play, but…

They all reached home…

-This is…
-Two runners reached home.

Now, the score is six to four.

DONG-EUI 6 : 4 MONSTERS

YOO HEE-KWAN LOSES A POINT
FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE MONSTERS ARE FACING A CRISIS

They totally got us.

THEY TOTALLY GOT US…

-This is amateur baseball.
-Really.

-I never expected that.
-It's amateur baseball.

I really didn't expect it.

AFTER WIDENING
THE WIDTH OF 2ND BASE RUNNER

It didn't simply end as a squeeze.

The second base runner reached
third base, then reached home.

Manager Jung made them run
from the beginning.

Because the Monsters
had to throw the ball to first base.

This kind of baseball is something new.

This is

a groundbreaking baseball.

Manager Jung of Dong-eui University

has made an astonishing baseball.

Manager Jung who used to play
in a professional baseball league

made a great amateur baseball.

I really want to compliment him.

-It's two outs.
-Yes.

Two runners reached home
during a tie-breaker.

The Monsters will feel the pressure

-in the bottom of the tenth inning.
-Yes.

I HAVE TO GET THE VIGOR BACK

It's one and two.

HE HITS!

He pulls. Second baseman catches it.

Jeong Keun-woo finishes
the top of the inning.

-Okay.
-Okay.

DEVILISH 2ND BASEMAN

Dong-eui played

amazing baseball here.

It's six to four.
Only two points difference.

What will happen to the Monsters?

We're moving on
to the bottom of the tenth inning.

Keun-woo, wear a helmet.

-Do I bunt?
-Yes.

-Can you hit and run?
-Yes.

-Slash hit and run. On the first pitch.
-Yes.

-Bunt the first pitch.
-Yes.

We'll score two points,
so get ready for the 11th inning.

-We can score two points.
-Three points.

-I'll rip them.
-Okay. All right.

-Rip them.
-He'll rip them.

-Finish them.
-All right.

Now it's the bottom of the tenth inning.
The Monsters are at bat.

BOTTOM OF THE 10TH INNING
DONG-EUI 6 : 4 MONSTERS

Ryu Hyun-in and Han Kyeong-been

are on first and second bases.

Jeong Keun-woo will bat first.

It's the bottom of the tenth inning.
The Monsters will play offense.

Jeong Keun-woo is getting ready
to bunt as expected.

The runners are on first
and second bases with no outs,

but it can be hard to score two points.

So I thought we were in trouble.

WE LOSE IF WE CAN'T SCORE 2 POINTS

WE'LL TAKE THE VICTORY

The ball bounced!

Runners get on third and second bases.

A WILD PITCH ALLOWS
BASERUNNERS TO ADVANCE!

A wild pitch puts two runners
in scoring positions.

-Yes!
-This is it!

-We can score three points.
-We can.

Dong-eui has been playing so well today.

But they made a mistake in the end.

This changes the situation completely.

Yes, because the runners are
on second and third bases with no outs,

now Jeong Keun-woo can play offense.

This is unbelievable.

Runners went on second
and third bases without a bunt.

That's right.
The Monsters got a chance very easily.

Now, they'll attack.

THE TABLES ARE TURNED IN NO TIME

DONG-EUI 6 : 4 MONSTERS

START TO PLAY OFFENSE!

Jeong Keun-woo hits an outward pitch.

Shortstop catches it
and sends it to first base.

The batter is thrown out on first base.

But the third base runner reaches home.

DONG-EUI 6 : 5 MONSTERS

Nice.

They're losing by one point.
The score is six to five.

The Monsters might have regrets.
But the way they scored

was great.

On the other hand,
Dong-eui stopped a bigger problem

-by losing only one point.
-Right.

-Both teams have achieved something.
-Yes.

FIERCE BATTLE OF TACTICS

It's one out. A runner is on third base.

1 OUT, RUNNER ON 3RD BASE

Let's make a tie!

Let's do it.

He's the one who made a tie today.

-It's Lee Taek-keun.
-Yes.

He's faced with another huge chance.

That's right.
Will they be able to make a tie again?

KYEONG-BEEN ON 3RD BASE
WAITS FOR THE RIGHT TIMING

Taek-keun's role is very important.

-Strike!
-The first pitch is a strike.

Taek-keun looks sorry.

DONG-EUI WON'T LOSE ANY POINTS EASILY

Taek-keun is at bat.
Runner is on third base.

FOUL

THE COUNT IS UNFAVORABLE
TO LEE TAEK-KEUN

TO BAD…

-No.
-No.

One outfield fly ball, please.

THE MONSTERS ARE DESPERATE
FOR AN OUTFIELD FLY BALL

He'll hit.

HE'LL BE OUT WITH ONE STRIKE

Let's go.

-Finish him!
-One more!

Two strikes.

He hits a breaking ball.

HE HITS!

He did it.

-Forward!
-Forward!

He hits a breaking ball.
Toward the center, and the shortstop

catches it!

Third base runner tags up!

Go.

Go! Faster! Run!

-No!
-Up!

THROWING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT

Third base runner
Han Kyeong-been reaches home!

-He has to go!
-He has to run.

Third base runner tags up!

KYEONG-BEEN MAKES A DASH

Third base runner
Han Kyeong-been reaches home!

REACHING HOME!

He's in!

DONG-EUI 6 : 6 MONSTERS

IT'S A TIE!

It was a short hit!

But Han Kyeong-been's dash
results in a tie!

The Monsters are really amazing.

Like you said, the hit was too short.

So it was difficult to reach home.

But Han Kyeong-been ran fast
and reached home.

Though there were two strikes,

Lee Taek-keun made a fly ball.

It's not easy to run
when a ball is falling like this.

IT WAS A SHORT HIT,
BUT HE DODGED THE TAG AND SCORED

Kyeong-been dodged the tag.

Third base runner

Han Kyeong-been makes another tie.

-Gosh, you did it.
-Good job.

Nice.

They have tied again.

It's two outs with no runners on base.

BOTTOM OF THE 10TH INNING
DONG-EUI 6 : 6 MONSTERS

A tie-breaker is like this.

It makes you really nervous.

It's two outs. Park Yong-taek is at bat.

CAPTAIN TAEK IS LOOKING
TO TURN THE TABLES AROUND

WE MUST STOP THEM

Stop them!

WITH ONE OUT, INNINGS WILL CHANGE

THE GAME WILL BE OVER
WITH ONE HOME RUN

I hope Park Yong-taek will swing big

at a fastball.

-Those home runs we've seen before.
-Yes.

Everyone is desperate for it now.

PLEASE DO A HOME RUN, YONG-TAEK

-You can do it!
-Home run!

Home run!

HE HITS!

He hits!

Second baseman catches it.

Let's go.

JEEZ… AD TAEK

The inning is over.

The Monsters made a tie
after the tenth inning.

THE INNING IS OVER WITH A TIED SCORE

The game isn't over yet.

I wondered what the first game
against a college team

would be like.

It's a great game.

It doesn't matter who wins.
It's the best game.

Yes, the Monsters met
the powerful Dong-eui

and they're fighting them wonderfully.

Yes.

Now, the fourth pitcher Song Seung-jun

will go on the mound.

The fourth player will be at bat next.

Let's make him bunt
and take them out on third base.

-You can move, right?
-Yes.

-I'll run to third base.
-Okay.

Song Seung-jun is great

at playing defense against bunts.
He can hold runners on base.

A hundred percent.

We talked about

not letting the second base runner
reach third base.

It's the top of the 11th inning.

The game will start
with two runners on bases.

-He's getting ready to bunt.
-Let's go!

An Hyeon-tae is at bat.

It'll be quick.

1ST AND 2ND BASE RUNNERS
LOOK FOR A CHANCE

A quick check.

MANAGER LEE SENDS A MYSTERIOUS SIGN

Here we go.

THE PLAYERS MOVE IN PERFECT ORDER

OPERATION BUNT SHIFT

Here we go.

STRIKE

AN HYEON-TAE SIMPLY WATCHED THE BALL

-Good.
-Nice pitch.

TAKEN ABACK

Why didn't he bunt?

Hyeon-tae. You should've hit.

DONG-EUI STARTS
WITH AN UNFAVORABLE COUNT

HE COULD'VE MADE A HIT

You should've hit it.

When it comes in, you should hit.

Manager Lee of the Monsters is trying

to take the second base runner out
on third base.

First and third basemen run over quickly.

Yes.

Dong-wook.

THE MONSTERS WILL PUT
A BUNT SHIFT AGAIN

Bunt shift.

If it comes in, hit it.

Don't push it in.

Let's go.

-It's a breaking ball.
-Strike!

THAT'S IT!

-Yes.
-That's two strikes.

It's a very seasoned pitch.

If you throw a breaking ball,
you can figure out their strategies.

They're having
an intense war of strategies.

Let's stop him here.

WITH ONE STRIKE, HE'LL BE OUT

Because of the two-strike bunt rule,

it's not easy to bunt with two strikes.

Right. So Song Seung-jun can throw

a high fastball
to put more pressure on him.

WE CAN'T END IT HERE!

Get a grip.

READY TO BUNT AGAIN

He still has a wide grip on the bat.

-Relax.
-It's okay.

Take it easy.

You need experience here.

Song Seung-jun

is a pitcher with more than 100 wins.

He's the fourth pitcher on the team.

-A breaking ball!
-A breaking ball!

-Three bunts. Out!
-Yes.

-This is it.
-Three bunts. Out!

With two strikes,
the third bunt resulted in a foul ball,

so it's a strikeout.

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

That was a very regrettable situation.

THAT'S SONGTANI

It was a breaking ball.

-It's hard to bunt Seung-jun's pitch.
-Nice.

I really want to praise Song Seung-jun.

-Yes.
-He threw a breaking ball.

SPLITTER

SEUNG-JUN PLAYS THE BATTER
WITH A BREAKING BALL

This is a seasoned professional.

That's right.

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

CK Monsters are in a comfortable position.

Yes, if you think about it,
they're in a position like this

because Manager Lee
put pressure on Manager Jung.

Yes.

Wait a minute. This is a TV show, right?

No, it's a war.

A breaking ball!

THE WAR ISN'T OVER YET

CREEPING

He might run.

He's running!

He might run.

2ND BASE RUNNER

HE RUNS!

He's running!

-A breaking ball!
-He got it!

To first base!

-Run!
-That's it!

-Fastball! Run!
-To first base!

A DOUBLE PLAY?

To first base!

-Nice!
-First base!

3 OUTS

WE RIPPED IT!

-Yes!
-Okay!

He's taken out on first base!
A double play!

The inning is over!

No outs.
Runners on first and second bases.

Song Seung-jun
didn't let them score any points!

Now, CK Monsters will be at bat
in the bottom half of the 11th inning.

MONSTERS' TURN TO BE AT BAT!

We did it!

LET'S PLAY OFFENSE

THE INNING IS OVER
WITHOUT LOSING ANY POINTS

It was no outs
with runners on first and second bases.

Gosh, I'm dizzy.

It's unbelievable.

UNBELIEVABLE

Now, they're at bat.

The Monsters have to score only one point.

How will they change this?

They need only one point to win.

They might use
a completely different strategy this time.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Eui-yoon. We need to bunt.

-Do you want to bunt?
-Can you do it?

A slash hit or a bunt?

-They'll do it 100 percent.
-Do you want to bunt?

Do you want a slash bunt?

THE 4TH BATTER EUI-YOON IS UP NEXT

-Bunt 100 percent?
-Yes.

-A hundred percent?
-Yes.

-Go slowly.
-No, not 100 percent.

-I'm not sure it'll work here.
-Squeeze?

They're going to hit if they can.

They can afford it.

The Monsters need to score only one point.

BOTTOM OF THE 11TH INNING
DONG-EUI 6: 6 MONSTERS

Today, Jung Eui-yoon
had more than two hits.

If he makes a hit,
today's game will be over.

Jung Eui-yoon is the fourth batter.

Let's end it here.

WHAT IS MANAGER LEE'S STRATEGY?

Lee Taek-keun is on second base.

We didn't get here by fluke.

Park Yong-taek is on first base.

1ST BASE RUNNER PARK YONG-TAEK

Let me think.

Will Jung Eui-yoon bunt?

-We'll have to see.
-It's a sign to bunt.

It's no outs with runners on first
and second bases. They need one point.

I'm not sure

I wonder what he'll do.

I wonder what strategy
Manager Lee will use.

If you don't know,

then who would?

I say he'll try a slash hit.

YONG-GEOM PREDICTS A SLASH HIT

-It's a bunt.
-I hear you.

JUNG EUI-YOON GETS READY TO BUNT

THE 4TH HITTER IS READY TO BUNT

DONG-EUI CREEPS UP

Watch and move slowly.

BALL

Jung Eui-yoon is ready to bunt.

-A fake bunt.
-Okay.

A SUDDEN SLASH BUNT

Manager Lee trusts
the cleanup hitter to hit.

THE INFIELDERS ARE SHAKEN
BY THE UNEXPECTED FAKE BUNT

Do it slowly.

Manager Lee trusts
the cleanup hitter to hit.

He didn't hit. What are you saying?

Obviously, he'll bunt.

OBVIOUSLY, HE'LL BUNT!

EUI-YOON GETS READY TO BUNT AGAIN

Watch him.

He'll hit. It's a short grip.

He'll hit!

STRIKE

He'll hit! I told you.

It won't work!

-He has to bunt.
-Okay.

KIM SUN-WOO, FOR BUNT

-Jung Eui-yoon is ready to bunt.
-Do it.

2 BALLS

He watched the breaking ball.

It's two balls and one strike.

-It's low.
-Low!

It's the same.

Cho Hyo-jun must throw a strike
no matter what.

Now, Eui-yoon holds the bat
with a short grip.

EUI-YOON SWITCHES TO ATTACK

I believe in you Eui-yoon.

I BELIEVE IN YOU, EUI-YOON, I DO!

A low pitch. It's another ball.
Three balls, one strike.

We'll do it.

TRUST IS SCIENCE

The offense strategy is working.

You used to play baseball.

I'm only a caster.

But I predicted right.

Baseball is about results.

Jung Eui-yoon and CK Monsters
are pressuring Dong-eui

with a strong offensive play.

The fourth hitter Jung Eui-yoon.

He made more than two hits today.

A high pitch. He holds back.

Four balls.
The bases are loaded with no outs.

-Okay!
-Come on!

THE MONSTERS
HAVE GOTTEN CLOSER TO WINNING

Jung Eui-yoon's strong offense play

put pressure on pitcher Cho Hyo-jun.

Manager Lee was right to go with a hit.

The bases are full with no outs.

ONLY 1 POINT TO END THE GAME!

Dong-wook!

-There's no sign.
-I'll hit.

Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

The game will be over
if he scores one point.

Please.

EVERYONE DESPERATELY WANTS 1 POINT

Please.

THIS GAME HAS BEEN GOING ON
FOR 3 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES

IT'S TIME TO DECIDE
WHO WINS AND LOSES

No outs with bases full.
Seo Dong-wook has a chance to finish this.

Lee Taek-keun is on third base.

Watch out for a line drive.

If it's too short, don't run.

HE'S UNDER PRESSURE TO STOP THEM

Hyo-jun.

Let's be bold and face it.

If he hits, it'll be over anyway. Be bold.

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch!

It flies high.

-All right.
-This one worked.

It's flying!

-Right fielder!
-He got it.

-He catches it!
-Home!

-He catches it! Third base runner tags up!
-Home!

-Run!
-Come in!

Hurry up!

Come in!

No!

He reaches home!

DONG-EUI 6 : 7 MONSTERS

WE DID IT

SEO DONG-WOOK'S SACRIFICE HIT

-Nice Taek!
-Yes!

Nice, winning pitcher. Nice.

-Nice.
-In the end, CK Monsters

wins again!

CK Monsters prove themselves
to be the best.

CK MONSTERS WIN 4 TIMES IN A ROW

A neck-and-neck game like this

can be seen

only once or twice
out of 144 games in a season.

He hits a high pitch! Center-right!

He catches it!

Dong-eui players played wonderfully.

I could see why Dong-eui was good

at playing baseball.

Both teams showed their best plays.

We'll win the second round no matter what.

-Do we clap again?
-Let's quickly do it together.

TIME TO CELEBRATE

We're the best.

-I've never seen a game like this.
-We're the best.

First of all, I respect you.

CK MONSTERS WON 4 GAMES IN A ROW

A VICTORY MORE VALUABLE THAN EVER

It's an unbelievable result.

Even when I hit well, I rarely do this.

But I put my hands up in the end today.

(I TOTALLY AGREE)

I don't know.
I don't know how this will be aired.

No matter how I edit it,

I don't think it can be better
than airing it as is. It was a great game.

Wait. You aren't all here yet.

There's one more Monster.

Didn't he leave yet?

IS HE STILL HERE?

-Hey!
-Hurry up!

DISTURBED

-I told him to take a bus home.
-He's still a member of the Monsters.

YESTERDAY'S FRIEND, TODAY'S ENEMY

I'm back.

-Well done.
-Good job.

-You were good.
-You did well.

How was it today?

Having to play against them
was very difficult

because I used to play with them.

How is your team?

The manager is quite upset.

MANAGER LEE IS HAPPY

The players are upset,
but also they're happy.

Really?

You're happy after losing?

INCOMPREHENSIBLE

-That's why they're amateurs.
-Yes.

You did really well.
I'll announce the MVP.

Who is it going to be?

The MVP of the first match
against Dong-eui is…

WHO WILL BE THE GOLDEN HERO?

WILL IT BE EUI-YOON WHO RESPONDED
TO MANAGER LEE'S TRUST?

KYEONG-BEEN WHO PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY
ON HIS LAST GAME?

DONG-WOOK WHO MADE
A SACRIFICE HIT TO HELP THE TEAM WIN?

It's the one who turned the tables,

the one who made a three-base hit.

MVP HAN KYEONG-BEEN

It's Han Kyeong-been!

Han Kyeong-been!

CALL HIS NAME, GODLY HAN KYEONG-BEEN

Now, take the medal and get lost.

A MEANINGFUL PRIZE

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

-Good work.
-Thank you.

-Go and play well.
-Yes, sir.

There. Good luck.

HIS FIRST AND LAST MVP AWARD
AS A MONSTER

CONGRATULATIONS, KYEONG-BEEN

Congratulations.

A month passed by.

I was worried in the beginning.

FIRST MEETING
WITH KYEONG-BEEN IN MARCH

I would like for you

to join our team as our key shortstop.

-Me? Right now?
-Yes.

I'm currently the shortstop playing
for Paju Challengers.

A SOLE PLAYER
FROM AN INDEPENDENT BASEBALL CLUB

I thought I'd be the youngest.

The players I played with
were legendary players.

So it wasn't easy. I felt small.

But they treated me as their friend.

You have to do that well.
He just did very well.

Look at how he advances…

I learned so much
playing baseball with them.

Nice swing, Kyeong-been.

He's pretty good.

I didn't lose anything by playing here.

Why do you want
to play baseball that much?

I've never been
in the professional league before.

-You're going to be a pro?
-Yes.

-That's your goal?
-Yes. I have to.

STRONG DESIRE FOR HIS DREAM

Just hit yours.

Look closely!

Nice!

Nice!

A GIFT-LIKE MOMENT
CREATED BY HIS DESIRE

HE RAN PAST FIRST BASE

THROUGH SECOND BASE

AND TO THIRD

HIS UNIMAGINABLE EFFORT
TO REACH THIS BASE

HE RAN FORWARD NO MATTER WHAT

AND FINALLY REACHED HOME BASE

Nice!

HE FINALLY BECAME
A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER

I got this MVP with my own hands,
so I'm proud of myself.

This was my last game here.

But I'll play more games
as a better baseball player. Thank you.

THANK YOU!

Good work.

CONGRATULATIONS BRO

-He's one smooth talker.
-Those were such nice words.

You're good with interviews.

-You'll be a star!
-All right.

Next week, it'll be our second match

against Dong-eui University.

I don't like them.

DONG-EUI PHOBIA

-Is he playing for their team again?
-Yes.

OF COURSE

In the first match,

our team was definitely not playing
at their fullest.

We lost our first match, so…

We'll give CK Monsters their first loss.

That's what they said.

We'll give CK Monsters their first loss.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID

-How about you?
-Not me though.

-How about you?
-Not me though.

THEY'RE LAUGHING

You're not lying, right?

I really didn't.

I thought you were their lawyer.

A COWARDLY EXCUSE

-So what is their plan?
-Well.

We'll give you the first loss.
That's what they said.

Look at him talk.

THIS GUY!

-But I didn't say anything.
-Seriously?

-Not me.
-Good social skills.

You're going to be big.

The next location is

Songdo.

It used to be Wyvern's
minor league stadium.

As the producer,

I want you to play in the best stadiums.

But borrowing a stadium isn't easy.

So we'll be playing two games in Songdo.

I apologize.

-It's fine.
-Good job.

It's not a problem.

If that's the minor league stadium…

HE'S VERY USED
TO THE MINOR LEAGUE STADIUMS

It is like my home.

It's almost his home stadium.

-I'm completely used to the stadium.
-What should we do with him?

Well, then. Goodbye.

DECIDED THAT SOO-CHANG
WILL BE KICKED OUT

Lastly, there's a player leaving for KBO.

We have a gift for him.

A gift.

What a nice show!

Eui-yoon. You give it to him.

-Me?
-Yes.

To bring back old memories?

THE OLD MEMORIES…

SIX YEARS AGO,

THEY MET AT THE NATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL COMPETITION

A ROLE MODEL BECAME A FRIEND

EUI-YOON IS NOW CONGRATULATING
HIM ON HIS FOOTSTEPS

-Flowers.
-Thank you.

SURPRISED

Wow.

Do well!

A BAT WITH ALL THE CK MONSTERS
PLAYERS' AUTOGRAPHS

It's a bat with all their autographs.

-Thank you.
-Do well!

-You can make it.
-Play well.

Use that bat to record your first hit.

Take it with you on your batting.

Everyone, please come out.

We'll take the last group photo.

All right. Han Kyeong-been!

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

WE LOOK FORWARD TO
YOUR REMARKABLE PLAYS IN EAGLES

4 GAMES 4 WINS 0 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE A THOUSAND

AFTER THE FIRST MATCH WITH DONG-EUI

There are cameras even in our team dinner?

CK MONSTERS' FIRST TEAM DINNER

This is so good.

Shall we do this lying down?

There are no microphones, right?

There aren't.

Get ready to clink glasses.

Today is our first team dinner.

MANAGER LEE BECOMES RED
AFTER ONE SHOT

It's on me.

Manager! I love you, Manager!

Is there beef?

Let's make it beef.

-Pork ribs.
-So I ordered pork ribs.

(I ALREADY ORDERED JUST IN CASE)

We're celebrating
our fourth winning streak.

-But also Kyeong-been.
-Yes. Send him off well.

This dinner is for his and our futures.

That's right.

When I say, "For Kyeong-been's future."

Please say, "For his future!"

You're blessed, Kyeong-been.

A toast from Lee Seung-yuop?

Here.

For Kyeong-been's future!

-For his future!
-For his future!

CONGRATULATIONS

You're seriously so lucky.

-Congratulations!
-Congrats!

But I don't see my future.

Kyeong-been's future isn't important.

-It's important.
-My future is.

MY FUTURE IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW

All these moments

will be aired when we lose.

-If we win, it'll be cut.
-Is this a setup?

When we lose, this team dinner
is going to be aired.

It'll look like you guys lost

because you always party.

INCHEON LNG BASEBALL STADIUM

D-DAY
THE 2ND MATCH AGAINST DONG-EUI

I was frustrated.

I also felt angry at myself.

We practiced a lot.

We only practiced without rest.

I'm confident I won't lose twice
since I lost once.

We'll make you lose for the first time.

I want to show them that we're powerful.

I want to win,
so we can go to the third match.

We'll make it a called game.

I'll make them say,
"We lost because we didn't have Jun-ho."

If we lose, it's the end.

We'll win this time
and take it to the third match.

I think we'll win.

We'll win. No matter what.

DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Hello.
-What's up?

Hello. Did you get a good rest?

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Who is it…

-Seong-hoon!
-Yes.

How are you feeling?

-I can stand.
-You can stand? Good.

-How about you, Won-sam?
-I can throw now.

That's good.

Thankfully, Seong-hoon came in
after Kyeong-been left.

This is going to be his first game.

By the way, our producer sent me a video.

You were like this.

I did everything that was needed.

One.

HE'S SHAKING

Two.

Thirty-eight!

HE'S TRYING HARD

Thirty-nine!

Pull.

WON-SAM TRIED HIS BEST
TO GET BACK IN

Slowly.

Darn.

You won't get 115km/h like that.

Hurry up and pitch.

Wow.

AN IMPRESSIVE COMEBACK?

-Who filmed it? Did you?
-Yes.

I did, sir.

You guys are besties.

Soo-chang. You join us
as a staff member starting next time.

A NEW JOB ACQUIRED?

It was taken well.

SOO-CHANG'S PLACE FOR NEXT WEEK

The video was nice.

I took it quietly
so I don't bother Won-sam.

So you didn't work out?

-I couldn't. Thanks to Won-sam.
-All right.

It's okay. Slowly.

Look at you.

LET'S JUST SAY HE COULDN'T WORK OUT
BECAUSE OF WON-SAM

I'll announce today's lineup.

-Keun-woo.
-Yes, sir.

-Second base.
-Yes.

-Taek-keun, center field.
-Yes.

-Yong-taek, DH.
-Yes.

-Eui-yoon.
-Thank you.

-Left field.
-Yes, sir.

-Dong-wook.
-Yes.

-Third base.
-Okay.

-Hong-ku.
-Yes.

6TH, CATCHER HONG-KU

-Catcher.
-Yes, sir.

-Moon-ho, right field.
-Yes, sir.

You're moving back little by little.

HIS BATTING ORDER
HAS BEEN MOVED BACK

I don't want to say goodbye already.

If he gives me any chance,
I'll repay him with results.

-Seong-hoon.
-Yes.

First base.

-Ryu Hyun-in.
-Yes.

-Shortstop.
-Yes, sir.

As for the pitchers.

-Seung-jun. You're up first.
-Okay.

-Then Won-sam.
-Okay.

Won-sam may have trouble,
so Hee-kwan is with him.

YOO HEE-KWAN, WON-SAM'S SUPPORT

-You must be ready.
-Yes, sir.

He might get changed without any outs.

We have to win the game. We have to.

-Dae-eun, you're the fourth.
-Yes.

-Then Soo-chang.
-Yes.

-You're a sub.
-Okay.

Since you're a sub,

make sure you cheer up the players.

-And help them out.
-Okay.

Help out the pitchers in the bullpen.

-And you're the first-base coach.
-Yes, sir.

He's the best at it.

We're against Dong-eui again today.

You guys played many times.

There are winning streaks in pro baseball.

But when that winning streak
is terminated,

sometimes the team
goes on a losing streak.

So our goal is to win all games.
Please keep that in mind.

That's all.

10 MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME BEGINS

The strongest opponent
is aiming to get their revenge today.

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Clean Sweep.

This is the second match
between CK Monsters and Dong-eui.

Kim Sun-woo is with me today.

-Hello.
-Greetings.

The last match moved to an extra inning,

and it was an incredible match.

It indeed was an incredible match.

But they lost a very close game.

So I expect to see
a whole new baseball from them.

We will win the second match.

I want you guys to keep your eyes on me.

You won't see us lose.

-One.
-With power.

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

LET'S WIN TODAY

-We can do it!
-Yes!

THEIR CHANT IS POWERFUL

You can see their determination

to revenge their loss
on their first match.

Jun-ho is facing CK Monsters

as a catcher once more.

Good luck, sir.

Let's look at CK Monsters' lineup.

First up is Keun-woo, second is Taek-keun,
third is Yong-taek.

Then it's Eui-yoon, Dong-wook,
and Hong-ku.

Seventh is Moon-ho, then Seong-hoon,
and last is Hyun-in.

Their first pitcher is Song Seung-jun.

Defense. In the outfield are Hyeon-tae,

Ji-won, and Jae-seong.

In the infield are Jun-seo, Tae-ung,

Ung-chan, and Jin-seok.

Cho Hyo-jun is the starting pitcher.

Yoon Jun-ho is the catcher.

Let's get a head start and scare them.

Let's see how it'll turn out.

Today's starting pitcher is Hyo-jun.

He came the losing pitcher
in the extra inning last game.

I heard the pitchers weren't too happy
after the game.

-There were too many walks.
-Yes.

That's why Coach Chong Tae-hyon
gave the pitchers

one point lessons before the game.

The game starts with the pitcher
going against Keun-woo.

The first pitch was far below.

-Okay! Nice eyes.
-Nice!

Keun-woo watched the ball.

You can feel the tension between them
like last time.

HE HITS!

A hit towards the center field.

The first hitter, Keun-woo.

GETS ON FIRST BASE

(KEEPING HIS GAME FACE UP)

Something feels good today!

-Where are sliding gloves?
-Don't have it.

Just slide.

Lee Taek-keun is up next.

SO DETERMINED TODAY

Taek-keun's kid's kindergartens friends.
They are here.

One, two, three.

-Go! Taek-keun!
-Go! Taek-keun!

YOU CAN DO IT, DAD!

ONLY HIS SONS DIDN'T CLAP

Your motivation is good,
and we still have a month.

My kids…

INTERVIEW 4 MONTHS AGO

I asked them if they knew
I was a baseball player.

They said, "You're a golfer!"

HE'S LAUGHING HIS BUTT OFF

This is the biggest reason
why I wanted to play baseball.

A GOLFER'S REASON
FOR PLAYING BASEBALL

He must show that he's the best dad
in front of his kids' friends.

Hyo-jun.

Throw lightly.

HE STARTS COACHING

THROW MORE LIGHTLY

-Strike!
-That was in. Strike.

HIS COACHING SETS THE MOMENTUM

Nice pitch.

Taek-keun's kids' friends,
33 of them came today.

-That number is pressuring him.
-That's right.

-I'm sure he's nervous.
-I know.

(HE'S VERY NERVOUS)

-Strike.
-It's in the zone.

Be more ambitious, Dad!

Hyo-jun manages to pitch a fastball

into the zone.

We need to hit it.
At least a productive out.

There's still a first base runner.

FOR THE TEAM

FOR THE KIDS, I MUST HIT THE BALL

NOT INTERESTED, THEY'RE PRAYING

Yes!

SKIPS OFF THE BAT!

-Back!
-Catch the ball.

No!

Skips off the bat. It's a fly ball.

Foul territory. Jun-ho goes for it.

JUN-HO, TAKE A HINT…

Foul territory. Jun-ho goes for it.

He catches the ball.

I'M SORRY, KIDS!

Ro-un's dad went home.

He did?

LET'S STILL CHEER FOR HIM

Jun-ho manages to get him out.

It's the third batter, Park Yong-taek.

-Strike!
-A fastball. A strike is called.

NICE JOB, HYO-JUN

-Nice pitch.
-Nice pitch.

The first pitcher's ball looks fast today.

STRIKE

Struck him with a breaking pitch.

Hyo-jun is

cooking the batters with breaking balls.

After the last game, Coach Chong Tae-hyon

asked the pitchers to do a lot of things.

HIS PITCHING IS VERY DIFFERENT
FROM THE LAST GAME

The ball count favors the pitcher.

A GROUND BALL

It's a ground ball.

Shortstop catches the bouncing ball.

-Out on first base.
-Darn it.

2 OUTS

Keun-woo gets on second base.
He's now a second base runner.

Let's win the first score.

LET'S GO FOR THE FIRST SCORE

Thanks to Manager Lee's trust,

Eui-yoon is always the fourth batter.

In a scoring position, he must hit well.

That's right.

Show me. Don't disappoint his trust!

IT FLIES

-It's a fly ball.
-Over there!

It doesn't go far. Three outfielders.

Center fielder's call play.

He catches it. Three outs.

Keun-woo got a hit.

But the rest were taken out

by the starting pitcher, Hyo-jun.

He defends the inning
without losing points.

Dong-eui is on offense now.

Seung-jun is the starting pitcher.

He must show
overwhelmingly skillful pitches today.

In the beginning, Manager Jung Bo-myung
said he'll directly influence

the game through many strategies.

I wonder what kind of strategies
he will play today.

STRATEGY: ???

First batter, Kang Jun-seo is up.

He hit a triple
against Shim Soo-chang in the last game.

-He managed to get a point.
-Right.

HE GROANS

It's a curve. He hits it.

PASS THROUGH FIRST BASE

AGAIN THROUGH SECOND BASE

Goes to the third base!

JUN-SEO'S RELENTLESS TRIPLE

My game ended after he hit a triple.

His run on bases
was astonishing last game.

-Let's move back a bit.
-Okay.

MOON-HO, MOVE BACK

Go back.

IT'S KANG JUN-SEO, PREPARE THE DEFENSE

SURPRISE BUNT

A bunt on the first pitch.

HE'S CONFUSED

Nice, Jun-seo!

Jun-seo bunted the ball and ran.

Because the defense is far,

they thought he'd swing.

He caught the outfielders off guard.

OUTFIELDERS ARE SHAKEN UP
BY THE BUNT

I wonder what kind of strategies
Manager Jung will play today.

They really prepared a lot.

MANAGER JUNG, YOU'VE PREPARED A LOT

Today's amateur baseball

is the highest tier in amateur baseball.

SWING OR NOT? DONG-EUI'S ATTACKS
CANNOT BE PREDICTED

HE SWINGS IT THIS TIME

He hits the breaking pitch.

Passes through shortstop.

NICE, JUN-SEO.

He manages to have a hit
against Seung-jun.

What a first batter, Jun-seo.

This hit means a lot.

He hit a curveball.

Seung-jun's curveball.

Almost no amateurs can hit his curveball.

But from the first batter,
the curveball was hit.

That is incredible.

I wonder what Dong-eui has to show us.

Next up is Heo Ji-won.

Darn!

FIRST BASE PICKOFF

To first base!

(HE'S SURPRISED)

Look at that.

Seung-jun has to hold
the first base runner in his position.

(SNEAKING OUT)

-Strike!
-A breaking pitch. Strike.

-Nice.
-Nice ball.

He received the manager's signal.

What will it be?

WHAT IS IT AGAIN?

A SURPRISE BUNT AGAIN!

AGAIN?

-The runner starts running. It's a bunt.
-Go.

The ball goes out into the foul territory.

FOUL

The first pitch was a strike.

The second pitch was a bunt.

This really shows he's determined to win.

I can feel it.

They tried to bunt from the start.

I was a bit surprised.

We really wanted to win too,
but they also wanted to win badly.

Anyway, no matter what,

I thought I had to defend.

The ball goes high.

After this… what?

-Hong-ku.
-Hey.

THE BALL SLIPPED AWAY

Go!

The ball slipped away!

HE SPRINTS AT THAT MOMENT

The runner! To second base!

-It's safe!
-Safe!

JUN-SEO, NICE EYES?

Yes!

MANAGER LEE IS SPEECHLESS

Hong-ku, you okay?

This is trouble. Big trouble.

HONG-KU'S ABSURD MISTAKE

Jun-seo kept his eyes on the ball.

That's why when Hong-ku
comfortably threw the ball,

he was ready to run,
waiting for the ball to slip.

When the ball slipped,

he got to second base.

Dong-eui players' focus is incredible.

Indeed.

The runner is on second base.

In scoring position with no outs.

A tight spot for the starting pitcher.

I MUST PITCH A STRIKEOUT

CK Monsters aren't laughing anymore.

Indeed. No laughter.

He misses! Strikeout!

STRIKEOUT

Song Seung-jun.

-He overcomes this crisis.
-Timeout.

HE REQUESTS TIMEOUT

After he pitches a strikeout,

he calls Hong-ku over.

-The signal.
-Yes.

-Let's go with the second one.
-Sure.

Seung-jun.

-If there's a bunt, give it to third base.
-Sure.

-I'm going into the base.
-Okay.

Be aware of bunts.

A STRATEGY TO GET SECOND BASE OUT

Here.

Third hitter, Tae-ung is up.

One out. Runner on second base.

Dong-eui has a runner in scoring position.

Damn. This can't happen.

He hits it. It flies.

-Hey.
-Catch the ball.

It's flying. Near foul territory.

It's a hit! Drops next
to the right fielder.

Keep going.

More! Keep going!

MANAGER JUNG MAKES
THE SECOND BASE RUNNER RUN MORE

Second base runner passes through third.

And to home base!

He wins the first score.

CK MONSTERS END UP GIVING THEM
THE FIRST POINT

They manage to get a run
against Seung-jun.

WE ARE THE BEST!

How did this become a point?

THE MOMENTUM IS THEIRS
FROM THE START

Just pitch.

The score is one to zero
thanks to Tae-ung's timely hit.

TAE-UNG'S HIT TAKES THE MOMENTUM

It's one out with a runner on first base.

The fourth batter, Lee Jin-seok is up.

SEUNG-JUN MUST GET MORE OUT

IT HITS AGAIN

A sharp batting. He hits it.

LET'S GO!

OH, NO!

The right fielder catches the ball.

Moon-ho takes care of the ball.

Two outs.

It's important that we defend here.

Next up is Park Jae-seong,
the fifth batter.

Remember the last game?

That defense in the last inning.

I couldn't believe my eyes
when I saw that catch.

Indeed.

ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL CATCH AGAIN

He hits the high ball!

Right center!

A SUPER CATCH PREVENTS
THE TEAM FROM LOSING

THE ONE WHO SHOWED US
WHAT IMPENETRABLE DEFENSE IS

SUPER CATCH, PARK JAE-SEONG

SUPER BULL, SONG SEUNG-JUN

One last out is needed.

IT FLIES!

It was close. It's a fly ball.

-It's not out yet. Run fast!
-Go!

Catch the ball.

It's mine.

It's flying.

Second base. Jeong Keun-woo.

He waits and catches it. Three outs.

Two hits with a point for Dong-eui.

CK Monsters gives them a point first.

The score is one to zero.
Moving on to the second inning.

I'm so sorry.

Hong-ku. It's okay.

-It's fine.
-No need to be sorry.

It's the first inning.

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED

Swing nicely and hit the ball.

Yes, sir.

CK Monsters are on offense
in the top of the second inning.

Dong-wook is the first batter.

Because they gave them a point
in the beginning,

CK Monsters must get a point
as soon as possible.

THE FIRST PITCHER
MUST CHANGE THE MOMENTUM

HE HITS!

It's in the infield. It doesn't go far.

Call!

It's flying in the infield. Third base!

THIRD BASEMAN, JUN-SEO,
RUNS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

HE CATCHES IT

Infielder catches the ball.

Jun-seo came out of the blue.

This is not good.

Jun-seo sprints from far away
to catch the ball.

The momentum is completely theirs.

The ball didn't travel far
above the pitcher.

So it was hard for anyone
to catch this ball.

But Jun-seo does.

He's a great player.

Infielders. You're all slow.

CK Monsters are behind by a point.

Hong-ku's mistake

was part of the reason
why they lost a point.

So I'm sure he feels pressured.

That's right.

Let's go, Hong-ku.

He watches the ball.

-Nice.
-I see a hit coming.

Second pitch. Out of the zone.

At this moment, something big
has to come from Hong-ku.

It's barely out of the zone.

HOW DO YOU NOT SWING FOR THAT?

He waits on the outer low ball.

Lee Hong-ku walks out
with four balls at one out.

GREAT, LET'S OVERTAKE THEM!

-Great job!
-Okay!

Hong-ku, good job.

Man.

He goes out with four balls
in a difficult moment.

He got on base,
but will he end up scoring too?

Batter seven, Kim Moon-ho.

GENIUS BATTER KIM MOON-HO

Baseball is all about records.

Whenever my batting average is deducted,

it creates immense psychological pressure.

But I have my own thing,

so I'm not too worried,

as long as I get many chances.

HE HIT IT!

It's a hit. A sharp ball.
It's a hit on the right.

THE AMAZING BATTER IS BACK!

LEE HONG-KU IMMEDIATELY DASHES!

Run!

-Okay.
-Run!

Lee Hong-ku passes the second,
to the third.

To the third, and he's stopped.

-Stop.
-Lee Hong-ku passes the third base.

Kim Moon-ho's two-base hit puts

two runners in scoring positions.

Moon-ho.

You look much happier.

-Baseball of faith.
-I knew it.

I loved it.

I HAD FAITH IN MYSELF TOO

I was happy.

Two runners are in scoring positions.

One hit can turn the game around.

The returning batter,
batter eight, Jeong Seong-hoon.

BATTER 8, JEONG SEONG-HOON

I may get injured again,

so I told myself that I'll bat lightly.

But once I'm in the box,

I don't know how I'll play.

Turn the game around.

You're good at batting.

It bounces. The ball flies far.

-Go!
-Run!

THE BALL HITS THE CATCHER'S FACE
AND BOUNCES OFF

Third-base runner lightly jogs back home.

MONSTERS 1 : 1 DONG-EUI

-Okay!
-Stop! Moon-ho, stop.

MOON-HO IS AT THE 3RD!

CK Monsters created a point

thanks to Dong-eui's mistake.

Hyo-jun, don't make it disadvantageous.

-We'll lose if you do.
-Okay.

They spring right back into a tie.

The score is one to one.

Yes, they created a good situation
to score a run.

HE HITS!

A sharp hit!
It flies over the third baseman.

HE'S ON OUR TEAM,
BUT THAT WAS INSANE

(PLEASED)

He's a genius.

JUMP

His timely hit turns it around.

RETURNS HOME EASILY!

This is how Jeong Seong-hoon returns.

You're a genius. A genius batter.

He's back!

Hey, we put our faith in you.

-"I'll be back!"
-You're back, Seong-hoon!

RESPECT…

Batter nine, Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

Dong-eui must win today

to play Monsters for the third time.

You're right. So Dong-eui University

cannot be shaken right now.

The number of pitches is good.

Shortstop Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

MONSTERS 2 : 1 DONG-EUI

Bat confidently. A full swing.

He hits.

He hits the second pitch.

First baseman catches, out.

And back to the first.

I CAN'T LET HIM DO A DOUBLE PLAY!

Run faster!

He hits.

First baseman catches, out.

And back to the first.

He's out.

NICE DOUBLE PLAY

It's hit into a double play.

The inning ends like this.

Instant replay.

It was totally safe.

MANAGER LEE REQUESTS
AN INSTANT REPLAY

-Was it safe?
-Out.

-He's out?
-I think so.

He made a request for an instant replay.

-I see.
-I can see why he requested it.

You're right. The decision may change.

Yes, the decision is changed.

I KNEW IT!

Let's continue.

WHAT?

-It's safe?
-It is?

HE'S SAFE?

This means the inning isn't over yet.

CONFUSED

It's the beginning,

but we saw many signs
from Manager Jung Bo-myung.

What did Manager Lee Seung-yuop do?
No idea.

But he requested the instant replay
with his sharp eyes.

-Yes.
-How will this end?

YOU CAN'T DODGE MY EYES…

Ryu Hyun-in dashed crazily,

and he's decided as safe
on the first base.

Cho Hyo-jun gets shaken

-when batters run out.
-Yes.

He thought this situation will
end easily, but it's not over.

-This is his crisis.
-Of course.

It's Jeong Keun-woo,
and he made a hit the first time.

BATTER 1, JEONG KEUN-WOO

Outfield. Outfield, block him.

It'll fly out. Outfield, block him.

THE FIELDERS REORGANIZE

HE DOESN'T CARE AND HITS AGAIN!

He hits!
And it goes beyond the third base.

CK Monsters' batting doesn't end.

This is it.

GETTING DIZZY
AT THEIR CONTINUED ATTACK

-Nice batting.
-Let's keep it going.

COACH CHONG TAE-HYON
VISITS THE MOUND

Now, breaking ball.

You throw balls,
so you have no other pitches.

They're trying to hit your fastball.

If you can't control it at full power,

throw at 50, 60 percent into the zone.

You can catch the timing.

Don't do it by force.

Let's stop them. It won't last long.

WE'LL PLAY AND WIN

Lee Taek-keun is at bat,
and he must make a hit

in order to prove that
he's a former baseball player.

-Dad, you can do it!
-You can do it!

UNCLE TAEK-KEUN! WE'RE STILL HERE!

Two outs with runners
at second and first bases.

MONSTERS 2 : 1 DONG-EUI

Will he be remembered
as a baseball player dad?

HE FINALLY HITS IT!

-Come on!
-Let's go!

The ball flies high.

THE BALL FLIES HIGH

The left fielder
spotted the impact point and catches.

He still hasn't shown
his cool side to his child.

The inning ends,

but CK Monsters turned the game around.

The score is two to one.

The bottom of the second inning,
Dong-eui is batting.

Yoon Jun-ho is the first batter.

BATTER 6, YOON JUN-HO

Look who this is.

Jun-ho.

You're losing.

YOU'RE A PART OF US

If Monsters break our winning streak,

I want to break it when I play against us.

And I hope it's today.

I HOPE IT'S TODAY

JUN-HO, YOU'RE HERE

GROUNDER

-Darn it.
-Okay.

Yoon Jun-ho hits a grounder.

Third baseman.

He's out on the first.

COVERS MOUTH

HE DISAPPEARS LIKE THE WIND

Next up is a designated hitter, Son Si-hu.

It's a ground ball.

Jeong Keun-woo catches. To first.

-A perfect throw.
-Hey.

2 OUT

ONE MORE OUT TO GO

He pitches so well. My gosh.

Two outs now.

MONSTERS 2 : 1 DONG-EUI

Next on the box is
batter eight, Jung Ung-chan.

HE HITS!

-It flies up high.
-Go.

Catch it.

He tries to catch, but he fails.

YES!

Okay, go!

Batter eight, Jung Ung-chan,
hits and drops the ball

next to the second.

UNG-CHAN LEADS THEIR ATTACK

As Jung Ung-chan runs out,

Dong-eui also tries to grab
a chance to attack them.

Man.

Batter nine, An Hyeon-tae.

BATTER 9, AN HYEON-TAE

What Dong-eui needs to do is make sure

An Hyeon-tae goes out,
then putting in Kang Jun-seo.

Of course.

Kang Jun-seo hits fiercely as batter one.

That's why he must get to the base.

On the other hand, if Song Seung-jun

doesn't stop batter nine after that hit,

this can become a huge crisis.

HE HITS TOO!

He hits it far. It flies to the right.

The runner at first goes to second.

RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND

This is an awkward situation.

This is baseball.

If you don't cut off an attempt,

the opponent won't miss that chance,
just like now.

-The next pitch was a hit too.
-Yes.

This is yet another crisis.

Two outs, but runners are
also on first and second.

BATTER 1, KANG JUN-SEO

SEUNG-JUN MUST STOP THEM
FROM SCORING

You have to stop them.

-Hey!
-Over there!

A SUDDEN CHECK ON THE 2ND BASE?

He checks the second base.

Out! Out on the second base!

THAT WAS INSANE!

How many times have you done that?

Out! Out on the second base!

(BLOWN AWAY)

A perfect promise.

His promise ends this inning.

SEUNG-JUN REACTS
IMMEDIATELY TO KEUN-WOO'S MOVES

Man, what are they doing?

DONG-EUI'S CAPTAIN IS MAD

Song Seung-jun
and Jeong Keun-woo's teamwork

ends this inning.

KEUN-WOO AND SEUNG-JUN'S TEAMWORK

I told you that he's fast.

I said he's fast. Why did you do that?

I DIDN'T THINK HE'D BE THAT FAST…

That was a forkball.

That pickoff was a forkball.

My gosh, Seung-jun and Keun-woo.

They're seriously awesome.

It's the third inning. Top of the third.

CK Monsters are batting.

Batter three, Park Yong-taek is up.

Cho Hyo-jun is pitching.

Three, four, and five.

I TRUST MY LEADING BATSMEN

Hit it! Hit it while we're leading!

The first pitch is very important.

Hyo-jun, get in there.

FOUL

Foul on the right side.

HIS SWING WAS A LITTLE RUSHED

Your timing is too fast.

-Okay.
-Park Yong-taek watches the breaking ball.

NICE!

THEY EXCHANGED THE COUNTS

Hyo-jun, throw lightly.

2 BALLS

Up toward his torso.

HYO-JUN CAN'T CONTROL HIS PITCH
AS HE LIKES

FRUSTRATED

His pitch is too forced right now.

BECAUSE YONG-TAEK WILL HIT IT

THE BALL COUNT IS
AGAINST THE PITCHER

One more.

ONE MORE BALL, AND I WALK OUT

Let's go, Hyo-jun.

-What?
-Right ahead.

THE BALL FLIES
TOWARD THE CENTER FIELDER

1 OUT.

-Another one goes out.
-Okay!

That was so close.

You got ambitious.
You could've had four balls.

I can't do this. I need to wake up.

-It was too fast.
-Right?

How can he throw
a wet blanket over his team?

It's a wonder.

Batter four, Jung Eui-yoon.

BATTER 4, JUNG EUI-YOON

During the interview
Jung Eui-yoon had before we began,

he said he'll hit 40 home runs.

But at this point in time,
Jung Eui-yoon has

zero home runs.

This is bad. I'm in trouble today too.

I said my average will be 0,9.

Let's go, number four.

THE TRUSTED NUMBER 4

WILL HE HIT A HOME RUN
AGAINST PITCHER CHO HYO-JUN?

STRIKE

-Strike,
-A breaking ball. Strike.

He got a strike against Jung Eui-yoon
with a breaking ball.

GOOD JOB, HYO-JUN

He must overcome this.

I have no choice but to trust him now.

-It's flying.
-It's going far.

It's going far.

THE BALL FLIES HIGH TO THE LEFT

It's going far.

-Fade.
-It's going far.

-It's flying.
-It's flying.

THE BALL HEADS TOWARD THE FENCE

The batted ball flies to the left
near the fence.

It's going far.

Yes, this is it.

This is it. It's flying. It's a home run.

Hey, it's going.

EVERYONE LOOKS AT THE BALL

The fence.

IT FALLS TO THE LEFT OF THE POLE

-It's a foul!
-Yes!

-Foul.
-It's a foul.

It's a foul.

Third-base umpire sends a sign.
It's a foul.

HOME RUN!

NEVER MIND…

YES!

NEVER MIND…

-It's a foul?
-It's a foul.

It went back.

Hey.

I haven't felt such a touch in a while.

It was a bit of a bummer.

I thought it went over.

It flew up very high,

and there was a lot of wind on the left.

The poles of this park are

lower than you think.

On the camera…

It looks like it's on the left.

If Manager Lee is quiet, it's a foul.

-Yes.
-He has sharp eyes.

If you hit up there,
it bends in like this.

There must be a lot of wind.

I can't hit it too far.
It goes above the pole.

Eui-yoon, you can hit it again.

Hit it again.

How can I hit that again?

Hit one more.

Darn it.

RAGGED

Things are quite disadvantageous for us.

Yes, two strikes and no ball.

He must stay focused
before he throws this pitch.

-Strike.
-Good.

-Strike.
-It goes in. Strikeout looking.

Jung Eui-yoon strikes out looking.

Cho Hyo-jun strikes him out.

FINISHES SO HE WON'T HIT

NICE BALL!

IT'S A FORMULA TO GET STRUCK OUT
AFTER A FOUL HOME RUN

He threw a breaking ball
and let him hit that foul

with a big swing on the left.

So he throws toward the left.

On top of that,
just as Jeong Yong-geom says,

Yoon Jun-ho's framing can be

one of the top among professionals.

-He's that good?
-Yes.

His framing is that good.

Only one more out to go.

And batter five, Seo Dong-wook.

BATTER 4, SEO DONG-WOOK

Let's go!

HE HITS!

THE BALL IS HIGH UP
ABOVE THE INFIELD

It's caught nearby.

Pitcher Cho Hyo-jun retires

all three batters quickly
for the first time.

HE RETIRES ALL THREE QUICKLY

GRUNTS

The score is still two to one.

BOTTOM OF THE 3RD INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 1 DONG-EUI

Dong-eui University is batting next.

The first batter is Kang Jun-seo.

You have to get the first one.

Let's go. The first one.

Don't let him go.

ANXIOUS MONSTERS

WILL HE BE ABLE TO STOP KANG JUN-SEO?

HE HITS!

-Good.
-Back there.

It's here.

-It skips off the bat.
-Back there.

-It's here.
-Behind the first baseman.

Jeong Seong-hoon catches.

My gosh. That was…

NICE CATCH

The first batter can be tough,
but he strikes him out.

FOUL TEMPER

And batter two, Heo Ji-won is here.

BATTER 2, HEO JI-WON

Dong-eui University is
yet to go out on base.

Song Seung-jun, the starting pitcher

blocks Dong-eui, the strongest enemy.

STRONGEST ENEMY
VERSUS STRONGEST PITCHER

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch. Center right.

THE BALL FLIES TO CENTER RIGHT

-Back there.
-He keeps running.

It drops where he can't catch.

NICE!

-Run.
-Run

SPRINTING AT FULL SPEED!

DON'T YOU DARE

He tries to pass through the third.

-Stop!
-Three!

He stops again.

HE THROWS TO THE 3RD

That was nerve-racking.

Heo Ji-won is satisfied
with a two-base hit.

It keeps flying away.

Lee Taek-keun was also surprised

because of the wind to the right.

The ball flies out much higher

-than they expected.
-I see.

That's why the hits all go far.

This park is right by the beach,

-so the wind is stronger than you think.
-Right.

The outfielders,

especially Lee Taek-keun
and Jung Eui-yoon,

-must stay focused.
-Yes.

-Let's defend from the back.
-Yes.

THE OUTFIELDERS MOVE BACK

The wind is blowing
from the plate to the outfield.

Don't come out a lot. Skip.

DON'T COME OUT A LOT, SKIP!

This means the runner is
at a scoring position.

That runner can turn this into a tie.

HE CAN SCORE FROM THERE

You have to get this one.

Batter three, Yoo Tae-ung.

Song Seung-jun allowed
Dong-eui to make a two-base hit.

This is another crisis.

BATTER 3, YOO TAE-UNG

A RUNNER WHO CAN TIE, HEO JI-WON

ONE HIT, THEY TIE

FIRST PITCH, BALL

The first pitch is a ball.

IT'S NOT A GREAT START

HE CAN'T GIVE HIM BALLS

It's too low. Another ball.

Relax.

HE GETS DISADVANTAGEOUS COUNTS

I can't pitch well against the wind.

The third pitch, another ball.

You can do it.

They're now at three balls.

The fight over the count is fierce,

but it's not a good idea
to let the runners pile up.

THEY MUST RETURN TO A TIE RIGHT NOW

Three balls.

Song Seung-jun is sweating like a pig.

SONG SEUNG-JUN SWEATS LIKE A PIG

How will his hard work pay him off?

HOW WILL HIS SWEAT PAY OFF?

He's up against batter three, Yoo Tae-ung.

CRISIS VERSUS OPPORTUNITY

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit. Down the center.
It drops in front

of the center fielder.

Gosh.

Run. Come in.

RUN

The runner runs through the third.

EYES SHAKING

QUICKLY THROWS

He comes back home. He slides in.

MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI

-Safe.
-It's a tie. Batter three, Yoo Tae-ung,

makes another timely hit.

YOO TAE-UNG'S TIMELY HIT MAKES A TIE!

NICE, DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

PEOPLE CONGRATULATE
YOO TAE-UNG'S FATHER

(PROUD)

A MARCH OF JOY

Did he not throw a breaking ball?
No, it was perfect.

But Yoo Tae-ung is a player

who has great focus and skills,

so he created another RBI.

Batter three, Yoo Tae-ung,
takes another point.

We keep missing it.

When we go up, it falls back.
We go back, it falls in the front.

Timeout.

REQUESTS A TIMEOUT

Timeout.

MANAGER LEE IS ON THE MOUND

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

Do you have enough energy?

-Yes, I'm not out of energy.
-You're fine?

One out. You have to stop them.

-We have no other pitchers.
-Okay.

You have to stop them.

Keep it up. One out.

-Keep it up.
-Let's do this.

MANAGER LEE STIRS
HIS SPIRIT ONCE AGAIN

JANG WON-SAM WARMS UP

I MUST STOP THEM
FROM SCORING ANY FURTHER

The runner is still at first.

MONSTERS 2 : 2 DONG-EUI

The next batter is the fourth batter,

Lee Jin-seok.

BATTER 4, LEE JIN-SEOK

Jin-seok, let's go.

-Let's go!
-Good work!

No, don't score.

A HIT!

A breaking ball. It's a hit.

-The first baseman catches.
-He catches.

THE RUNNER AT 1ST BASE DASHES

A breaking ball. It's a hit.

-The first baseman catches.
-He catches.

The second base catches the runner.
First base.

ALL EYES

ON THE FIELD

Throw!

SAFE!

-First bae. He's safe.
-Okay.

-Okay!
-Jeong Seong-hoon's defense.

The runner goes out on the second.

-Seong-hoon, nice!
-Two outs, runner at on first base.

I JUST NEED TO GET ONE MORE

Batter five, Park Jae-seong.

BATTER 5, PARK JAE-SEONG

Jae-seong, hit it.

Lee Jin-seok at the first can score
turn the game around.

I WON'T LET HIM
GET TO A SCORING POSITION

(NUDGES)

HONG-KU SENDS A SIGN
TO THROW A PICKOFF

ROGER THAT

-Checking the first base.
-He's fast.

-Checking the first base.
-He's fast.

He won't show any weaknesses on the mound.

Song Seung-jun's focus.

I'd like to commend him for that.

Good timing.

NICE TIMING

Where will his pitch go to?

It goes to the catcher. He hits.

THE BATTED BALL IS IN THE INFIELD

The first baseman catches.

SEONG-HOON'S NICE CATCH

He throws to the pitcher. And a step.

-Very close.
-He stepped on the base first.

And three outs.

MONSTERS DEFENDED PERFECTLY

THAT'S AN OUT?

REQUESTS AN INSTANT REPLAY

Instant replay.

He'll check the video.

He requested an instant replay.

At the last moment,
when Jeong Seong-hoon threw the ball,

Song Seung-jun's foot

and the batter-runner's foot overlapped.

I see.

THE REPLAY BEGINS

He went a bit slower,

so the final step wasn't right.

Let's see it.

So in an instant…

-Yes.
-I see.

Song Seung-jun's foot
touched the base first.

I don't think
the decision will be changed.

3 OUTS

NICE EYES

THIS IS GREAT

Goodness, things are tiring today.

Manager Jung Bo-myung should
just create strategies.

Yes.

No instant replays.

Three outs.

The inning ends like this.

But Dong-eui University made a tie.

The score is two to two.

Man.

Things aren't great.

I'm frustrated to death.

THE BIGGEST CRISIS

This is a crisis they must overcome alone.

A hit. The ball flies down the center.

It drops in front of the center fielder.

The runner at third returns.

The runner at second too.

-They both return!
-Strike!

He hits the first pitch.

The pitcher catches.

And he throws to the first.

The first baseman tags him out.

Jeong Keun-woo's hit.

-Safe!
-He's out.

THEY SENSE THEIR FIRST DEFEAT

THE RELIEF PITCHER OF THE MONSTERS

When I think of the moments
when Yoo Hee-kwan broke down,

I feel very hopeless.

DONG-EUI EASILY DEALS WITH HIM TOO

The batted ball follows down the line.

-He hits a bunt.
-Go!

The pitcher catches. To first.

THE DEFENSE IS SHAKEN
WITH THE MONSTERS

The runner returns home like this.

THEIR ACE PLAYERS CRASH DOWN

Dong-eui University is truly scary.

Darn it, I'm so mad.
