THE MONSTERS' FIRST LOSS



When we lost,

every emotion swelled up.

What can I say?

We'll win no matter what.

I was really angry.

I'm going to prepare rigorously
for two weeks.

Run!

THE FIGHT AGAINST THEMSELVES
HAS BEGUN AGAIN

THEY DEVOTED 2 WEEKS
TO PERSONAL TRAINING

PREPARING AND WAITING FOR 2 WEEKS

THE DAY OF THE BATTLE
TO DETERMINE THE TRUE WINNER

INCHEON LNG BASEBALL STADIUM

3RD MATCH
CK MONSTERS VS DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

MANAGER JUNG LOOKS RELAXED

-You look great.
-It's been good.

When we lost, we felt a lot of pressure.

After winning, we're back to square one.

The Monsters are feeling the pressure now.

So,

we'll think of today's game
as a bonus game.

We'll play the game
with a more relaxed mind.

CONFIDENT

ANGRY

We'll risk everything today
because if we lose,

our winning percentage will go below .700.

Everyone knows
how important today's game is.

So we'll win by all means,
and see you again.

THE MONSTERS ENTER WITH SERIOUS FACES

I couldn't sleep because I was angry.

THEY'RE STILL SHOCKED
FROM THEIR FIRST LOSS

We have to be serious today.

Yes.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

It's the day of the battle.

Every game is important,

but today's game is extra important.

The happy face of Manager Jung
when they won,

it really annoyed me,

so I don't want to see that face today.

If we lose today, our winning percentage
will go below .700.

THE WINNING PERCENTAGE
WILL GO DOWN FROM .800 TO .677

It was very embarrassing.

LEE TAEK-KEUN,
18 YEARS OF PRO EXPERIENCE

I thought this was a real war.

THIS IS A REAL WAR

As a professional,
even a single mistake is unacceptable.

Think of it as a good lesson.

For today's game,
think about winning only.

I hope we destroy the opponent
with a mean heart.

First,

I'll announce the starting lineup.

-Number one, Keun-woo.
-Yes!

Second base.

-Number two, Moon-ho.
-Yes, sir!

NO.2 RIGHT FIELDER, KIM MOON-HO

Suddenly my batting order moved up.

Getting on base is my order of priority.

-Yes.

-Number five, Taek-keun.

-Number nine, Hyun-in.
-Yes, sir.

NUMBER 9, SHORTSTOP, RYU HYUN-IN

-Today's starting pitcher is Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Yes, sir.

Today, I want Hee-kwan

to pitch as long as he can.

Rhee Dae-eun, Shim Soo-chang,

Song Seung-jun, and Jang Won-sam

will all stand by.

We have a new member

to replace Kyeong-been.

Who is it?

GOOD NEWS ABOUT RECRUITMENT

-Can he play today?
-Yes.

We don't know what will happen today.
Some players could be injured

or be substituted.
To prepare for those situations,

we recruited a player.

A NEW MEMBER TO SUPPORT THE FIELDERS

Give him a round of applause.

HERE HE IS

Hello. I graduated from Gwangju
Jeil High School and Korea University.

-Did you?
-I play for Yeoncheon Miracle.

I'm Choi Soo-hyun. Nice to meet you.

CHOI SOO-HYUN, 27 YEARS OLD
180CM, 81KG

INFIELDER OF YEONCHEON MIRACLE

VIDEO PROVIDED
BY GYEONGGI BASEBALL ASSOCIATION

He hits.

Right side. It goes over the fence.

4TH PLACE BATTER
IN INDEPENDENT LEAGUE!

I'll try not to be nervous.
I'll try to be relaxed.

I'll show you the spirit of a young gun.

CHOI SOO-HYUN
JOINS THE MONSTERS OFFICIALLY

-That's cool.
-You look great.

WE BELIEVE IN YOU, YOUNG GUN!

Nice.

THE MONSTERS COMPLETED
REINFORCEMENT BEFORE THE ALL-OUT WAR

There is no opening today.

You'll warm up
and start playing right away.

-Okay.
-All right.

The general manager looks determined.

There's nothing but winning today.

We'll show them who we are.

Let's show them how we got here.

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

LET'S GO, MONSTERS!

Let's go for it!

2 HOURS BEFORE THE GAME

-Start right away.
-Go!

THE MONSTERS ARE READY FOR THE BATTLE

-Let's have a called game and win.
-Go.

You can do it.

WE WON'T ALLOW ANY MISTAKES

Yes. You have to hit that much.

MANAGER LEE IS BURNING TOO

Double! You can do it!

PERFECT TEAMWORK

Last one.

THEY'RE TOTALLY READY

The Monsters' shocking loss.

They've been waiting for today.

Hello, everyone.

It's the third match of CK Monsters
versus Dong-eui University.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Like I said before,
it was a shocking loss.

With a regrettable play, they let Dong-eui

win in the end.

Since the last game,
the Monsters haven't been in a good mood.

THE TWO TEAMS ARE
ALREADY ON THEIR NERVES

Good. It's going to be
a fierce fight today.

DECIDING WHO WILL BAT FIRST
IN THE 3RD MATCH

-Hello.
-Hello.

Because you're tied at one to one.

We'll toss a coin to decide
who will bat first.

-The Monsters is this.
-Yes.

-Dong-eui is this.
-Okay.

Watch carefully.

THE MONSTERS WILL DECIDE

-It's done.
-Good.

We'll bat in the bottom half.

-We'll play defense first.
-Okay.

THE COIN HAS BEEN TOSSED
AND THE GAME HAS BEGUN

-Dong-eui!
-Dong-eui!

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

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

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

Go home, guys.

Let's go.

-If we lose today, there's no revenge.
-Right.

Let's be serious.

CK

-Monsters!
-Monsters!

Let's go.

CK MONSTERS

Here's Dong-eui's batter lineup.

Number one, Kang Jun-seo.
Number two, Heo Ji-won.

Number three, Yoo Tae-ung.
Number four, Lee Jin-seok.

Number five, Park Jae-seong.
Number six, Yoon Jun-ho.

Number seven, Son Si-hu.
Number eight, Jung Ung-chan.

Number eight, An Hyeon-tae.

DONG-EUI, LET'S GO!

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

Applause!

LET'S GO, MONSTERS!

Let's go! Go!

Yoo Hee-kwan is today's starter
for CK Monsters.

If they lose today, the winning percentage
will go below .700,

so Yoo Hee-kwan
is burdened with responsibility.

Actually, his job is to back
the other pitchers on the mound.

But he's the starter
because today's game is important.

I believe Manager Lee wants
Hee-kwan to pitch until the end.

That's right.

Before the game,

he said he was expecting
Hee-kwan to pitch the whole game.

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

The first batter of Dong-eui,

Kang Jun-seo is at bat.

Dong-eui's key player is the first batter.

Because he makes a lot of hits

and he's good at getting on base.

I believe whether I strike
the first batter out in the first inning

will be something to watch for.

-Strike!
-It's close to the body. Perfect.

FLUSTERED…

-Strike!
-Second pitch is also close to the body.

He gets it in the strike zone.

I stood close to the batter's box.

He kept pitching close to the body
from the first inning.

It's a difficult game,

but he pitches the way he wants
very comfortably.

The count is favorable to the pitcher.

DONG-EUI 0 : 0 MONSTERS

HE HITS!

Wait!

It's close to the body again.
It's a ground ball.

Third baseman catches it. He throws it

to first baseman perfectly.
Third baseman Seo Dong-wook.

TOOK HIM OUT NICELY

He stopped the first batter well.

It looks like he didn't shave

-since the last game.
-Is that right?

It might be a trace
of a strong desire to take revenge.

YOO HEE-KWAN CAME BACK
WITH DETERMINATION

Now, batter number two
Heo Ji-won is at bat.

-Strike!
-It's a slow breaking ball.

It's another strike.

INEVITABLY FLUSTERING PITCH

-Nice.
-Nice.

He hits the slow breaking ball.
It's a ground ball.

Second baseman catches it

and sends it to first base. Two outs.

GOOD!

-Nice.
-He created two ground balls.

Hee-kwan is showing a nice start.

The Monsters look different today.

-Good!
-Nice!

They're different
from the first and second matches.

Batter number three Yoo Tae-ung is at bat.

HE HITS!

It's a sharp hit!

-He got it.
-Hey.

Okay! I got it.

-He got it.
-Second baseman Jeong Keun-woo

catches the ball that fell above his head.

THIS IS CRAZY…

-All three batters are out.
-Nice.

-That was the starter Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Very clean.

We have to crush them.

We have to kill them today.

-Let's go again.
-Yes, sir.

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

A pitcher we've never seen before
is the starter today.

-It's Lee Byeong-hui.
-Yes.

He's in his third year.
He's right-handed and he throws sidearm.

By the way, his leg…

Look how he kicks.

He kicks twice.

THE STARTER HAS
AN UNFAMILIAR PITCHING FORM

What's that?

Is he kicking twice?

What?

WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?

You have to keep throwing strikes.

Yes, sir.

It'll be confusing
to figure out when to swing.

Jeong Keun-woo will be surprised.

JEONG KEUN-WOO WILL BAT FIRST

WILL HE BE ABLE TO SWING
AT THE RIGHT TIMING?

Batter number one
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

STRIKE

KEUN-WOO IS UNFAMILIAR
WITH THE PITCHING FORM

The first pitch is a strike.

I touched his body. He has big arms.

I guess he works out a lot.

The starter is very important.

-We haven't seen him previously.
-No.

We don't know

his pitching balance or control.

Keun-woo has to show

how to get the right timing to the dugout.

THE FIRST HITTER HAS
TO FIGURE OUT THE TIMING

He starts out with a strike count.

READY TO PITCH

One, two.

It's a low pitch. It's a foul.

KEUN-WOO IS GETTING THE TIMING

The count is favorable to the pitcher.

THE FIRST HITTER HAS
TO START PLAYING OFFENSE

He kicks twice again.

-Outside.
-It flies out.

BALL

-Focus.
-Let's go!

FOCUS…

The way the Monsters' batters

watch the ball and focus on the pitcher

is different from previous games.

It's totally different.

He hits. It flies left.

THE BALL FLIES HIGH TO THE LEFT

THIS HIT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING

-Go!
-Okay!

It's gone!

It's gone!

IS IT…

-Run!
-What?

-Go!
-Go!

-Back!
-It's gone.

HOME RUN

He hits. It flies left.
It goes behind the left fielder.

-Toward the fence!
-It's gone!

It goes over the fence!

IT'S GONE!

They score first!

YES!

KEUN-WOO RIPPED IT!

A CRAZY HIT FROM THE START

Jeong Keun-woo's
first home run on A Clean Sweep

happened right at this moment!

Jeez!

Starting pitcher Lee Byeong-hui

loses a point.

A LEADOFF HOME RUN BY KEUN-WOO!

Jeong Keun-woo's first home run

is CK Monsters'
first point of today's game.

DONG-EUI 0 : 1 MONSTERS

-Okay!
-Yes!

PERFECT FIRST HOME RUN
THAT CHEERED THEM UP

-Nice!
-Great job!

Good work.

Jeong Keun-woo gave

the precious first point to Yoo Hee-kwan.

I thought it'd be difficult
because of the pitching form.

GASP…

What an amazing hit.

THE FIRST HOME RUN MAKES HIM DAZED

He's good.

It's okay for them to hit.

-It's all right!
-It's okay!

MANAGER JUNG SUPPORTS HIM MENTALLY(?)

A home run is all right.

LEADOFF HOME RUN CAN'T BE ALL RIGHT…

Hitter number two Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

It's close to the body.

BALL

After the home run, he looks shaken.

He does.

Let's go. We have to finish them.

It didn't go in.

2 BALLS

It's another ball.

He has great focus.

Yes. Batter number two has

to watch the pitch carefully
and get on base.

-Yes.
-He's so good.

Let's go. Let's do this.

MOON-HO, LET'S GET ON BASE!

-Ball.
-It's too close to the body.

Four balls after a home run.

LET'S GO! LET'S FIGHT!

Good job!

Let's go!

No outs. Runner is on first base.

Hitter number three
Park Yong-taek is at bat.

HITTER NUMBER 3, CAPTAIN TAEK

-It's too close to the body.
-He has no control.

Manager Jung and Coach Chong

prepared eight to ten pitchers.

It means they'll substitute the pitcher
right away when he doesn't perform well.

DONG-EUI HAS A MUST-WIN STRATEGY

The ball goes far.
It's another four balls.

HE'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE

-All right.
-Get the bases loaded.

Get the bases loaded!

After the home run,
he let two hitters walk.

Pitcher Lee Byeong-hui is shaken.

The determined CK Monsters.

No outs.
Runners are on first and second bases.

I'll visit the mound. Timeout.

EVENTUALLY MANAGER JUNG
VISITS THE MOUND

Look. Their manager isn't happy.

He was before the game.

Look. Byeong-hui.

We can let you pitch if they keep hitting.

But if you throw four balls,

we can't predict
what the next hitter will do,

-so we can't let you pitch.
-Okay.

GO IN

-Good work.
-Thank you.

TAKEN ABACK

He makes a substitution.

Dong-eui substitutes the pitcher
after three hitters.

That's the worst.

-Right.
-Leaving the mound without getting an out.

It could happen to me too.

Of course, they'd change.
They really want to win.

They can't afford to relax.

Cho Hyo-jun is on the mound.

They can have two points.

Let them score. Just block one.

-We can score later.
-Yes, sir.

-Hello.
-Was he the starter?

-Pardon?
-In the second match?

Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.

HITTER NUMBER 4 JUNG EUI-YOON

After the first loss,

the Monsters came back with determination.

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

Hitter number four
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.

Stop the long hit!

-Okay!
-Get ready!

He's going to hit.

WITH A HIT, WE'LL HAVE
THE VICTORIOUS ATMOSPHERE

HE HITS!

He hits. Center-right.

It falls neatly.

-Nice!
-Yes!

-That's it!
-Run!

Go!

-It falls neatly.
-He's running.

Run! Run fast!

No!

-Keep going!
-Run!

-Faster!
-Moon-ho reached third base,

and he reaches home!

-Yes!
-Okay!

Jung Eui-yoon's timely hit.

Come in.

Without any out,

CK Monsters score another point.

Since they lost the previous game,

the players are totally focused.

The game just started, but you can see

the players' attitude,
confidence, and poise.

Yes.

We all practiced a lot.

Runners are on first and second bases.

Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

HITTER NUMBER 5 LEE TAEK-KEUN

It's an outward high pitch.

-He never swings at a ball.
-No.

HE'S BEING MORE CAREFUL

The pitchers

are having a hard time getting strikes.

2 BALLS

3 BALLS

It's high. It's four balls.

THIS IS CRAZY

We're very angry today.

Send the ball to the outfield.

We're very angry today.

No outs. The bases are loaded.

-Let's go!
-Okay!

Who is the strongest player on our team?

-It's Seo Dong-wook.
-Right.

The last game was painful to him.

-He must've had a lot of thoughts.
-Yes.

THEY WERE TIED
ON THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH INNING

It's back. The third baseman caught it.

DONG-WOOK MAKES
AN UNEXPECTED MISTAKE!

UNFORGETTABLE NIGHTMARE

DONG-WOOK'S TERRIBLE MISTAKE

I'll shut it and win today.

I have no excuse. I have to win.

-There is no out.
-Also…

Here it is, Dong-wook.

-Here we go.
-You got this.

Jun-seo.

DONG-EUI GETS READY FOR A LONG HIT

SUPER NERVOUS

He hits.

Seo Dong-wook is different.

Rather than watching the ball,
he hits it right away.

All right. A big inning.

If you hit big, we can go.

We can score.

A CHANCE TO SCORE MANY POINTS
WITH A HIT

It comes in too close to the body.

It is a low pitch. It's a ball.

It doesn't look like
he'll hit similar pitches.

It looks like

he's going to watch every pitch carefully.

"Why are the hitters so calm today?"

-That's what I think.
-Yes.

The CK Monsters' batters

are watching and batting differently.

The batters got it together.

BASE ON BALLS

It comes in close to the body again.
Another four balls.

GOOD!

-Let's do it!
-Good!

Four bases on balls.

Dong-eui let the Monsters score a point
by letting them walk.

DONG-EUI 0 : 3 MONSTERS

DONG-EUI IS HELPLESS
UNDER THE MONSTERS' ATTACK

CK Monsters have been at bat
for about 20 minutes.

Hitter number seven
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.

-Let's score three more points.
-Okay.

Three more points.

Seong-hoon will hit the first pitch.

-Don't overdo it.
-Okay.

Run if it's a sure hit.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.
It goes over the pitcher.

Second baseman throws it to shortstop.

He doesn't throw it anymore.

Third base runner
Jung Eui-yoon scores a point.

-Okay. Good.
-Nice.

The Monsters scores four points
in the first inning.

It's one out after seven batters.

Hitter number eight Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

Go, Hong-ku.

HE HITS!

-It goes to the infield.
-Go.

-Catch it!
-Okay!

The shortstop runs and catches it.

Yoo Tae-ung got it.

He's good.

HE CAUGHT IT…

-He's fast.
-I know.

Yoo Tae-ung got it. Now it's two outs.

Four points aren't little,

but scoring more points
will make the Monsters

-be at ease.
-They have to score

so that Hee-kwan can pitch
without feeling any pressure.

Hitter number nine Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

There's only one out left.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.
The second baseman catches it.

He throws it to first base.

3 OUTS

The long bottom
of the first inning is done.

CK Monsters scored four points.

These points will help
Yoo Hee-kwan pitch freely.

All right.

We just finished the first inning.
There are a lot of innings left.

We'll catch up one point by one point.

When we get to mid-game,
they won't have any pitchers.

We'll take the lead again then.

-Let's cheer up, okay?
-Yes, sir!

-Let's go.
-Let's score.

Let's go.

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

The score is four to zero.

Hitter number four Lee Jin-seok is at bat.

They really need to make a hit
that scores a point.

That's right.

-Let's go, Jin-seok.
-Go, Jin-seok!

One point!

FOUL

-It's a foul.
-He swung with force.

JIN-SEOK SWUNG ENTHUSIASTICALLY

It goes back.

It flies high up. Foul territory.

-Good!
-That's it.

A FAVORABLE COUNT TO THE PITCHER

Hee-kwan, focus.

I NEED TO FOCUS
WHEN THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE TO ME

It's another foul.

Lee Jin-seok hits tenaciously.

What Dong-eui has to think about

is that they need to make
Hee-kwan pitch a lot.

That's what is important.

-Strike.
-Inside. It was perfect!

HEE-KWAN'S DARING PITCH
TOWARD THE BODY!

Hee-kwan's first strikeout.

-Good!
-It's one out.

This is it.
Regardless of the score, he had a plan.

He threw one outward,
then one close to the body.

He thought about it.

It's not a fast pitch.

But he plays with the batters' timing.

That he did.

Hitter number five
Park Jae-seong is at bat.

He caught Han Kyeong-been's hit

in the first match.

What will he be like at bat?

WHAT WAS THAT?

Amazing.

A HIGH-ALTITUDE DROP

Strike.

It doesn't make sense.

How can one throw like that?

Did you see that? It's like a drop tower.

Can you measure the speed?

I thought the slow curve
stopped momentarily.

Look at the batter.

What is that?

The batter is shocked too.

How can a high pitch
like this be a strike?

Yoo Hee-kwan gets ready for the next ball.

It's a foul. Two strikes.

-Nice ball.
-He continues.

The count is favorable to Hee-kwan.

DONG-EUI 0 : 4 MONSTERS

-Strike!
-Outside. It's another strikeout looking.

-Strike!
-Outside. It's another strikeout looking.

He struck two batters out in a row.

He needed only three pitches
to strike Park Jae-seong out.

ASTONISHED…

We're the offerings.

OFFERINGS(?) FOR YOO HEE-KWAN

He's too good.

Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.

Yoo Hee-kwan

pitched the most innings in CK Monsters.

It was Yoon Jun-ho who had teamed up

-with him for a long time.
-Right.

These two players' match
will be interesting.

-He probably has a trick.
-Yes.

When I was a catcher,

I saw why the batters couldn't hit.

I really want to hit it.

HE HITS!

He hits!

He hits!

Shortstop catches it.

First base.

Hey.

HE'S SAFE!

Shortstop catches it.

First base. The ball is high.

HE'S STILL RUNNING?

First base. The ball is high.

He shouldn't run. First base.

First base.

-He's out on first base.
-I can't believe it.

DID HE REALLY DO THAT?

Jun-ho, what did you do?

Jun-ho, what was that?

After a batter makes a hit,

if he tries to get on second base
after reaching first base,

he can be tagged out.

It's not force out.

The first baseman can go
to the first base with the ball

-and tag him out.
-Yes.

I want to praise

Jeong Seong-hoon for not losing focus
and going after him.

Yes.

Hee-kwan, seven innings left.

-Good job.
-Seven innings.

-You're doing well.
-Seven innings.

-Good job.
-We'll chat for seven innings.

-We'll eat flies if we're hungry.
-Okay.

It's the bottom of the second inning.
The Monsters are at bat.

Hitter number one
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat first.

MANAGER JUNG GIVES ORDERS RIGHT AWAY

Infielders get ready.

MOVING

Infielders, it's coming.

We saw the Monsters' determination

when Jeong Keun-woo
hit the leadoff home run.

He was in the center of everything.

I'm finally getting into the game.

The first pitch is high.

How dare he throws a fastball at me?

Okay, then I'll go after your fastball.

Cho Hyo-jun saw the home run.

So it won't be easy
to deal with Jeong Keun-woo.

He has to be careful.

HE HITS!

He hits! It goes to the left again!

WHAT?

-Hey!
-Hey!

-Hey!
-Hey!

It's going.

NO WAY

CONSECUTIVE HOME RUNS?

HOME RUN

He hits!

It goes to the left again!

-To the fence!
-It's going!

-It goes over!
-Consecutive home runs!

Consecutive home runs by Jeong Keun-woo!

He has a devilish talent!

HE'S REALLY SHOCKED

What's going on?

-Jeong Keun-woo!
-Jeong Keun-woo!

YES!

MENTAL BREAKDOWN

Shouldn't he return to the league?

Shouldn't he go back to the league?

Consecutive home runs.

It's the first time
in CK Monsters' history.

It's hitter number one Jeong Keun-woo!

You ripped it.

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

-Yes!
-Nice!

-Come in. Good job.
-Hey.

IT'S A PARTY

-You killed it.
-Yes!

ASTONISHED

-Two consecutive home runs.
-I can't believe it.

Whenever he swings today, it's a home run.

I told you the batters of CK Monsters
were determined today.

Jeong Keun-woo is in the center of it.

I'm reminded again

that you shouldn't make
the legendary players angry.

This is CK Monsters.

You focused, and you finished it.

SILENT DUGOUT

It's five to zero.

Manager Jung must be flustered.

-Right.
-Yes.

Timeout.

We'll substitute number 17.

MANAGER JUNG REQUESTS A TIMEOUT

What are you doing?
Why can't you do your pitch?

You aren't doing your thing.

No.

Cho Hyo-jun couldn't last.

CHO HYO-JUN IS TAKEN DOWN

-Lee Jun-Myeong is on the mound.
-Good luck.

THE THIRD PITCHER LEE JUN-MYEONG

Compared to the previous two pitchers,

Jun-Myeong has much better control.

I think Jun-myeong will do well.

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JUN-MYEONG

Jun-Myeong is on the mound.

He'll deal with hitter number two
Kim Moon-ho.

Come on, Moon-ho.
Consider yourself number one.

I BELIEVE IN YOU TOO, MOON-HO

He pushes!

Third baseman misses it.

THE BALL PASSES BY THE GLOVE

Kim Moon-ho gets on first base.

Let me tell you why it happened.

Dong-eui plays good defense,
but they make a mistake

because the pitcher
isn't showing solid pitches.

The fielders are losing focus.

Jun-myeong, I'm sorry.

No outs. Runner on first base.

Park Yong-taek is at bat.

HITTER NUMBER 3 CAPTAIN TAEK

I was boiling up.

PARK YONG-TAEK, LAVA TAEK OF ANGER

They'll see why we're different.

-Jeez!
-Catch it!

-Jeez!
-Catch it!

A GROUND BALL IN FRONT OF 2ND BASEMAN

A DOUBLE PLAY?

-Go!
-Second baseman catches it.

It's thrown to first base.

-He's safe on first base.
-Safe.

-Nice running.
-Yong-taek knew

that it could be a double play.

But he ran as fast as he could.

One out, runner on first base.

Park Yong-taek is on first base.

Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.

It's bounced off.

Run!

RUN

Park Yong-taek reaches second base.

We saw how Dong-eui played defense
in the previous games.

This is unbelievable.

Yoon Jun-ho missed the ball.

One out, runner on second base.
He's in a scoring position.

Let's go, Eui-yoon.

-Go!
-Hit a home run.

-Jeez.
-Okay.

-Okay.
-That's it!

OH…

-Jeez.
-It's high.

Foul territory. Yoon Jun-ho goes after it.

He catches it.

2 OUTS

NEXT TIME

Two outs, runner on second base.

Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

It will be nice if a runner
reaches the home plate.

Yes, this is good. Taek-keun.

That's it!

-Go!
-He pulls.

-Third baseman slides and catches it.
-Yes!

First base. He's out.

Third baseman Kang Jun-seo.

FAILING TO SCORE ANOTHER POINT

They got Lee Taek-keun
with the perfect defense.

Three outs.

The score is five to zero.
CK Monsters are still winning.

All right.

Let's get one point at a time.

-Yes, sir.
-Let's go.

Let's do what we can. Let's go.

-One, two, three!
-Go!

DONG-EUI CHEERS UP AGAIN

It's the top of the third inning.
Dong-eui is at bat.

Hitter number seven Son Si-hu is at bat.

-Hey!
-Get on base!

Let's go!

HE HITS!

-Back!
-Back!

He hits the first pitch.

-It flies high.
-Back!

To the left. Left fielder

catches it.

1 OUT

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

-Amazing.
-That's it.

Yoo Hee-kwan took care
of seven hitters in a row.

Jung Ung-chan is at bat next.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.
Second baseman Jeong Keun-woo

got it. To first base.

-Okay.
-He plays perfect defense too.

Good!

HE PLAYS PERFECT DEFENSE TOO

-You can't help but hit it.
-Right.

If Dong-eui hits,
Hee-kwan will throw less,

so it's not good for Dong-eui.

Hitter number nine An Hyeon-tae.

FOUL

The balance between balls
and strikes is good.

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

STRIKE

It's another strike.

It'll look far.

It's formidable, isn't it?

Even pro players can't hit it.

An Hyeon-tae must contact the ball.

-Strike!
-Close to the body!

-Strike!
-It's perfectly close to the body!

Strikeout!

It's the third strikeout looking.

Perfect pitch.

The slow aesthetics.
That was Yoo Hee-kwan.

That pitch was crazy.

-We can't hit that.
-No.

It's crazy.

LOL HEE-KWAN!

Hee-kwan. How many strikes was it?

He threw eight pitches.
I think there was one ball.

There are no balls.

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

Lee Jun-Myeong is still on the mound.

Since he started pitching,

-there haven't been any hits or walks.
-No.

-He just needs to throw strikes.
-Yes.

He catches the high ball.

He didn't swing.

Seo Dong-wook gets on base on four balls.

CK Monsters are interesting to watch.

-Okay.
-No outs. Runner on first base.

Hitter number seven
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.

-Is it starting again?
-Let's get started again!

MANAGER LEE SENDS SIGNS

GOT IT

It's a hit and run
because Seong-hoon likes that.

All right. The 3-4 hole.

Dong-wook.

DONG-WOOK MOVES AWAY FROM FIRST BASE

HE MUST SEND THE BALL
BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND BASES

HE BEGINS TO RUN

HE HITS!

He hits! Toward first base!
A hit between first and second bases.

Okay!

IT WORKED

Run!

First base runner
already reached second base.

He runs to third base.

-Out.
-He's tagged out!

-Hey.
-What?

-What was that?
-Hey.

Jeez.

IS IT OUT?

What happened?

It was a sign for hit and run.

-Jeong Seong-hoon pushed and made a hit.
-Yes.

Things played out perfectly
like Manager Lee's plan.

But we underestimated
Park Jae-seong shoulders.

He went past the second base
before he caught it.

-But it was a perfect throw.
-It was perfect.

It came in at perfect timing.

AN INSANE THROW!

Amazing!

It was a perfect picture,
but they ruined it.

It was a good hit.

TOO BAD

One out. Runner on first base.

Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

What if there's another double play
because of me?

1 OUT, LOADED BASES

He hits! The pitcher catches it.

2 OUTS

3 OUTS

DESPAIR

The inning is over.

THE DOUBLE PLAY BLEW
THE CHANCE TO TURN THE TABLES

Hong-ku will hit.

Break them.

Hong-ku, hit a home run! Be confident!

-Full swing!
-Hong-ku, let it out!

FULL SWING!

IS IT REALLY

A HOME RUN?

He hits. It flies high. Center-right.

-It's gone.
-It's gone.

Left fielder moves back.

-He did it!
-It's a hit.

The ball hits the fence!

THAT'S IT!

Hong-ku.

MAKING A DASH

Lee Hong-ku reaches second base.

First base runner
Jeong Seong-hoon reaches third base.

It's a long hit by Lee Hong-ku.

LEE HONG-KU'S 2-BASE HIT

-That's good.
-Yes!

Hong-ku!

NICE HONG-KU

The Monsters got a big chance.

That's right.

Hitter number nine Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

Today, a young gun joined

CK Monsters.

He's Choi Soo-hyun.

He can be second baseman,
shortstop, or third baseman.

Ryu Hyun-in can't help
but be bothered by him.

I'll try not to lose. I won't lose it.

Ride it out.

-Foul tip. Strikeout.
-Jeez.

Lee Jun-Myeong takes Hyun-in out
with three balls.

-Two outs.
-Good job.

Jun-myeong overcomes the crisis himself.

CALLING

Hey.

It's empty, so spread out.

The problem starts now.

Jun-myeong is faced with Jeong Keun-woo.

JEONG KEUN-WOO HIT
CONSECUTIVE HOME RUNS

It's empty. Think.

CALLING

-It looks like an intentional walk.
-Yes.

Because it's an open-face helmet.

They're telling you to walk.

A SENSE OF PRESSURE

-He's overwhelming.
-Let's go, Moon-ho.

KEUN-WOO HAS BECOME A SCARY PLAYER

-He fills first base.
-There's no choice.

2 OUTS, LOADED BASES

Two outs. The bases are loaded.

Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

Manager Lee chose Moon-ho
as batter number two.

It's a big chance.

-Show them.
-Moon-ho.

-Don't hurt our pride.
-Let's go.

Hit a grand slam.

-Jun-ho.
-Jun-ho.

Jun-ho!

WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT
OF DONG-EUI'S DECISION?

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

BALL

-Okay.
-Good.

-Good eye.
-Moon-ho. Hit a good ball.

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

-Strike!
-Second pitch. A breaking ball.

It's in the strike zone.

If he keeps up the count,

Lee Jun-Myeong's pitch isn't easy to hit.

To a left-handed batter,

the outside low pitch is very powerful.

I wonder how Moon-ho will hit that.

It's one ball, one strike.

-Okay.
-Jeez.

Catcher Yoon Jun-ho
caught the bounced ball.

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

Let's go, Jun-myeong.

It's two and one.

-Strike!
-It's a curve ball.

-That was a great pitch.
-Yes.

Let's go, Moon-ho.

It's outside. It didn't go in.

It's a full count.

NOW IT'S AT A FULL COUNT

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

Two outs. The bases are loaded,
and it's a full count.

Let's go!

It goes out of the strike zone.
Four balls.

-It's a ball.
-Okay.

The bases were loaded.

Kim Moon-ho gets on base with a good eye.

CK Monsters scores a point
and makes it six to zero.

-Good.
-Nice.

ANGRY

TOO BAD JUN-MYEONG LOST A POINT

Two outs and full bases.

Park Yong-taek is at bat.

Right now,
the Monsters are showing no mercy.

Can't you see that?

Only a few more points to go.

I don't have any wishes for myself today.

I really want the team to win.

IT'S BIG!

He hits. The ball flies to the right.

-It's gone.
-It's gone.

It's gone.

A GRAND SLAM?

Behind the right fielder.
Toward the fence.

The ball flies to the right.

Behind the right fielder.
Toward the fence.

He catches it in front of the fence!

It's Park Jae-seong again!

Jeez!

-Did he catch it?
-He's uncomfortable.

Right fielder Park Jae-seong crushes

Park Yong-taek's hit.

Dong-eui doesn't allow a run.

IT'S AD TAEK AGAIN

It's the top of the fourth inning.
Dong-eui is at bat.

Yoo Hee-kwan threw

29 pitches until the third inning.

He threw 24 strikes. That's a lot.

-It is.
-Yes.

Hitter number one Kang Jun-seo is at bat.

Dong-eui has to hit.

Because all batters have had their turns.

They must get on base.
They're thinking this.

HE HITS RIGHT AWAY!

He hits. It goes to the center.

It drops in front of the center fielder.

HE MISSED THE BALL!

-Run!
-He runs to second base.

-Go!
-To second base!

-He slides head first!
-All right!

It's Kang Jun-seo's two-base hit.

-Yes!
-That's it!

-Number one is a good hitter.
-He's good.

Dong-eui needs to get the flow.

It's in a scoring position
because of the opponent's mistake.

Dong-eui has to score a point or two.

Yes.

Ji-won, you need to get him on base.

Yes, sir.

Today Heo Ji-won hit a ground ball
at the first bat.

Kang Jun-seo is on second base.

No outs. Runner on second base.
The starter Yoo Hee-kwan is pitching.

IT'S ANOTHER HIT!

He hits. It flies high.

THE RUNNER STARTS TO RUN

2ND BASEMAN PREPARES TO TAG UP

He hits. It flies high.

Right fielder goes after the ball.

Kim Moon-ho

catches it. Tag up!

HE TRIES TO TAG UP!

-Run!
-Go!

-Retouch!
-Retouch!

-Go!
-He reaches

third base.

ON 3RD BASE

Jeez, he's fast.

JEEZ… HE'S FAST…

Dong-eui has to take one step at a time.

It needs to score.

One out. Runner on third base.

Yoo Hee-kwan is at risk of failing.

HEE-KWAN IS AT RISK OF LOSING POINTS

It's the scariest hitter
from the second match.

It's Yoo Tae-ung.

With a hit, Dong-eui can score two points.

That's right.

He hit. It goes to the center.

-He reaches the home plate.
-Safe!

Yoo Tae-ung
made the team score four points.

-Don't lose.
-One at a time!

WILL HE MAKE A TIMELY HIT AGAIN?

What will Yoo Hee-kwan pitch?

Close to the body. It's a foul.

FOUL

YOO TAE-UNG HITS WITHOUT RESERVATION

Good job.

GOOD JOB, TAE-UNG

One out. Runner on third base.

DONG-EUI 0 : 5 MONSTERS

HE HIT!

He hits. It flies high.

Third baseman catches it
in foul territory.

Seo Dong-wook. It's two outs.

NICE DONG-WOOK!

Jeez.

GROANING

There's only one out count left.

ONLY ONE OUT COUNT LEFT

Batter number four Lee Jin-seok.

HITTER NUMBER 4 LEE JIN-SEOK

-We won't let you score.
-Don't let him score.

He hits.

He hits the first pitch.

To first base. It's a fair ball.

HE DOVE, BUT HE MISSED IT

It's a fair ball.

No, he hit it.

Third base runner reaches
home plate comfortably.

The hitter runs to second base.

Go!

Run!

He goes to third base.

WE MUST STOP IT

He goes to third base.

-He reaches third base.
-Okay!

WE'RE STARTING TO CATCH UP

WHAT'S HAPPENING…

Finally, Dong-eui scores.

It's six to one.

Dong-eui changes zero to one.

It's Yoo Hee-kwan's first earned run.

Right.

He no longer has
a zero earned run average.

After Lee Jin-seok's three-base hit,

hitter number five
Park Jae-seong is at bat.

Runner is on third base.
Now the score is six to one.

He hits the first pitch.

It's high. The catcher goes after it.
Lee Hong-ku.

He can't catch it.

THE BALL LANDED
IN THE AUDIENCE'S SEAT

AFTER THE FIRST FOUL

He pushes.

FOUL

Park Jae-seong is tenacious.

FOUL

Dong-eui players are really tenacious.

Park Jae-seong is

waiting for Hee-kwan's mistake.

-Good.
-Good holding back.

He'll make a mistake.

It's time.

Will Hee-kwan make a mistake at this time?

It's close to the body. It's another foul.

Fifth foul.

That's enough.

They're dragging it
because we're keeping quiet.

Dong-eui knows that

there aren't a lot of pitchers

after Hee-kwan. They are aware of it.

THE MATCH CONTINUES TO BE FIERCE

The pitcher has a comfortable count.

DONG-EUI 1 : 6 MONSTERS

It's no ball, two strikes.

WHO WILL BE THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH?

-Strike!
-He can't hit it. It's a strikeout.

The inning is over.

TRUSTWORTHY YOO HEE-KWAN!

-Nice.
-Are you okay?

-Hey.
-Good.

-Good job.
-You okay?

-It'll be a complete game.
-Okay.

CK Monsters are at bat
in the bottom of the fourth inning.

The first batter is Jung Eui-yoon.

He made a timely hit at the first bat.

Let's go, Eui-yoon.

Let's get forty.

He watches the first pitch.

EUI-YOON CALMLY WAITS FOR THE BALL

-Jung Eui-yoon!
-Hey!

JUNG EUI-YOON!

YOU'RE AT BAT!

JUNG EUI-YOON!

MAKE A HIT!

He's good at cheering.

WHACK(?)

Make a hit!

-Jung Eui-yoon!
-Jung Eui-yoon!

Jung Eui-yoon hits.

Center-left. It falls clean.

A CLEAN HIT THAT FALLS CENTER-LEFT!

THAT'S IT!

-Run!
-Run!

-Jung Eui-yoon goes to second base.
-Go!

He reaches second base
before the ball does.

EUI-YOON'S CLEAN 2-BASE HIT

NICE EUI-YOON!

It's a two-base hit by the first hitter.

-The hitters are so good today.
-Yes.

They've been grabbing the chance
since the first inning.

So it's about time the flow stops.

-But it doesn't.
-It's especially important

because it's after they lost a point.

Lee Taek-keun has a wide grip.

TAEK-KEUN IS GOING FOR A BUNT

A bunt?

A BUNT WHEN A RUNNER IS ON 2ND BASE?

(GREAT! A BUNT SOUNDS GOOD!)

Taek-keun.

If Eui-yoon hits a double,
go for a bunt, okay?

-Don't worry and just hit it.
-Okay.

THE BUNT STRATEGY WAS PLANNED
BEFORE THE INNING STARTED

Manager Lee is playing
a patient and persistent game.

-I see.
-Even if he wins,

he doesn't intend on winning big time.

-He's playing for that one point.
-Right.

The score is six to one.

And Taek-keun is going for a bunt.

Make sure you hit it.

HIT IT SO EUI-YOON
CAN GET ON 3RD BASE

Taek-keun in bunting position.

TRIES TO KEEP THE RUNNER ON THE BASE

He fakes a pick-off.

HE'S VERY BUSY

Let's hit a ground ball
between first and second bases.

A slash bunt! He slaps the ball!

-First base!
-Second base catches it.

The hitter is out on first base!

Eui-yoon makes it to third base.

Taek-keun manages to send him to third.

NICE JOB, TAEK-KEUN

-That was an excellent play.
-Indeed.

That was classy baseball.

-A classy play.
-This is what you intended, right?

Great job. You're the best.

Taek-keun, come.

Great job. Love you.

There's nothing more I can wish for.

-That was a nice one.
-We had second base with no outs.

And we now have third base with one out.

That was good planning.

Taek-keun's butcher boy

hits a ground ball.

So they had to give up third base

and had to throw to first.

Manager Lee is satisfied.

Dong-eui changes pitchers.

Good work. Nice pitches.

Because of Jun-myeong's pitch count,

Jun-seon is taking the mound
as the pitcher.

-Can you pitch well?
-Yes, sir.

All right.

He looks like he has control.

-His pitches were fast.
-I see.

Jun-seon, who took the mound,

has the fastest pitching on the team.

He pitches around mid-140km/h.

Right now you can see
the pitch was over 140km/h.

What was that?

-He's good.
-Indeed. The ball is fast.

First up is Seo Dong-wook.

-Let third base come home.
-Go for the outfield, Dong-wook.

Manager Lee sent a runner to third

with a bunt.

So it's important that
Dong-wook makes contact.

That's right.

To the outfield. Come on, baby.

He makes contact.
It goes over the pitcher.

He drops it!

He drops it!

Nice!

THIS IS THE CHANCE!

First base!

First base is safe!

Why didn't he go for home base?

Eui-yoon was doubtful.

He should've gone for home base.

The ball bounced up really high.

That's right.

He tried to do a reserve catch but failed.

Because Eui-yoon
did not run from the start,

his decision to stay on base wasn't bad.

Dong-wook just glared at me.

The hit wasn't clean.

It's fine. He's not out anyway.

Runners on first and third.

Jeong Seong-hoon is up next.

Do what you do well, Seong-hoon!

Go for the outfield!

His RBI is going to skyrocket.

ONE LONG HIT WILL BE A RUN

STRIKE

Nice.

NICE, JUN-SEON!

Look how fast he pitches.

We like those kinds of pitches.

He misses!

STRIKE

-His sliders are quite good.
-Indeed.

His spin is quite sharp.
The ball is spinning so well.

That's right.

As expected, he's pitching very well.

HE HITS!

It hits the pitcher's foot!

It goes to the outfield.

THE BALL HITS THE PITCHER'S FEET

Third base!

Third base runner comes home.
Adds another point to their team.

The score is seven to one.

DONG-WOOK AND SEONG-HOON
ARE ON 1ST AND 2ND

Nicely done.

You're the genius batter!

THE GENIUS JEONG SEONG-HOON!

-Nice!
-So talented!

The reason why

they are now staying ahead
by six points again

is thanks to Manager Lee's strategy
to send second to third using bunt.

The bottom of the lineup got the points.

This is what you call
being persistent and patient.

That's true. They're fierce today.

CK MONSTERS' HITS CONTINUE

He hits a breaking ball.
It goes to the 5-6 hole.

EXCLAIMING

Bases are full.

1 OUT, PACKED BASE

HE SIGHS

Hyun-in needs to make a play now.

Indeed.

The first pitch makes contact.

First base gets it. Tags the runner.

But the first base is empty!

SAFE

Come on!

Third base runner comes home!

DONG-EUI 1 : 8 MONSTERS

Why didn't he throw the ball?

-Nice!
-We got a point.

-We got this.
-Nice!

All we need is points.

He should've thrown the ball right away,

but he saw Hong-ku, so he tagged him out.

And the pitcher was slow
at covering for first base.

That's right.

Today, Dong-eui's defense
isn't at their best.

Indeed.

CK Monsters got more runs this inning

than how many they allowed
in the last inning.

Jeong Kun-woo is up next.

THE HOME RUN KING, KEUN-WOO

How many consecutive home runs

did Keun-woo have in KBO?

-Twice.
-I see.

How about three consecutive?

I'm not sure. I'd have to look that up.

NO NEED TO LOOK UP
HE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW

I'M FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS

A GROUND BALL

Makes contact. Near third base.

Third base throws to first.

No additional throws, but Keun-woo is out.

Three outs. The inning ends.

Dong-eui defends against Keun-woo
for the first time today.

And the inning ends after.

The fifth inning starts
with Dong-eui on offense.

In shortstop,

Soo-hyun is there instead of Hyun-in.

-I wonder how Hyun-in feels right now.
-That's right.

Keep your head up, Hyun-in.

DON'T CRY LIKE A FOOL

It's okay, Hyun-in.

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED

Hee-kwan still takes the mound.

This is the inning after he allowed a run.

He's much more serious now.

I allowed a run in the fourth inning.

Ever since then, I was really determined

to not allow a single run in that game.

Jun-ho is up first.

FIRST BATTER YOON JUN-HO

It's in the zone. Strike.

I WON'T ALLOW ANY RUNS

It felt like he was serious.

Of course, he was always serious.
But this time, he was determined.

So I thought today would be tough.

FOUL

The ball goes past the foul territory.

-It's a foul.
-Nice.

DONG-EUI 1 : 8 MONSTERS

Jun-ho has no hits playing with us, right?

-No, he doesn't.
-Not even a single hit.

He must be nervous.

He's a spy. Spy Yoon.

After Jun-ho left CK Monsters,

-he became an easy target.
-That's true.

He used to be a seven hundred batter.

His BA took a nosedive.

If he ends up with no hits today,

he may go below .300.

-Let's go!
-Are you ready?

DONG-EUI 1 : 8 MONSTERS

He misses! Strikeout!

STRIKEOUT

Hee-kwan pitched five strikeouts today.

Wow. He just demolished them.

HE'S AMAZED AT THE PITCHING

I'm so frustrated.

THERE IS NO MERCY

Cho Won-bin is up next.

Strike!

STRIKE

Nice pitch.

Pitch and strike. PS.

-He doesn't know how to pitch a ball.
-Seriously.

-He doesn't know.
-And foul when you swing.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING
AS A BALL FOR ME

-Strike!
-A slow pitch.

STRIKE

DOMINATES THE HITTER
WITH AN INSANELY SLOW PITCH

You can't hit that!

If he pitches
all the way through this inning,

it'd be the first time on the show

for the starting pitcher to pitch
more than five innings for the win.

Our team never had a starting pitcher win

and a quality start.

That's what I'm aiming for.

MY ONLY GOAL IS TO WIN

-Nice!
-Good!

Play with them! Teach them a lesson!

THEY ARE DISCOURAGED

It's appropriate to call Hee-kwan
the ace of the team.

He's up against Jung Ung-chan.

-Okay.
-Nice.

It's a fly ball.

It doesn't go beyond the infield.

Shortstop catches it.

Inning ends.

Congratulations on your first out.

THAT'S MY POSITION

Finally for the first time in this show,

we have a pitcher
that meets the requirements for a win.

And that pitcher is Yoo Hee-kwan.

YOO HEE-KWAN

I want to have fun,
but I'm getting pissed off.

I'M HAVING FUN THOUGH

Hee-kwan, who is going for
a win as a pitcher,

he's aiming for a quality start now.

The fifth inning with one earned run.

That's his record for now.

And he takes the mound again.

-This is incredible.
-Indeed.

He pitched 55 balls up until now.

And out of those, he pitched 45 strikes.

The strike and ball ratio is 4,5 to 1.

I've never seen this ratio

in my baseball commentary career.

I can't even do this during my training.

This is very hard to do even in training.
But Hee-kwan did it in a game.

-That's how amazing this is.
-Indeed.

That how aggressive
his pitching is right now.

That's very true.

First up is Wi Jeong-hyeon.

STRIKE

-Nice job, Hee-kwan!
-Good!

This is not good for Dong-eui.

They're having trouble stopping
CK Monster's momentum.

HE HITS!

He makes contact. To the left field.

Dang.

He makes contact.

To the left field.

Left fielder is chasing the ball.

IS IT A HOME RUN?

It's there. This is it.

Left fielder is chasing the ball.

FOUL

It's a foul.

-Darn.
-That was close.

THEY ARE DISAPPOINTED

That was a big foul.

With these big batted balls,

-they must bring back the momentum.
-Right.

-Let's go for a hit!
-Let's go!

IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE GAME
FROM HEE-KWAN

It's far. Swing misses!

Strikeout!

DONG-EUI IS HELPLESSLY LOSING

DEAD SILENT

Nice pitch!

Jun-seo is up next.

He's a furious first batter.

He needs to throw
this pitch very seriously.

Let's get this guy.

Outfield!

OUTFIELDERS ARE
MOVING TO THE LEFT SIDE

Soo-hyun.

THE INFIELDERS ARE TENSE AS WELL

A BATTLE BETWEEN
THE TWO ACES OF THE TEAM

A ground ball. Third base fields it.

THE BALL SKIPS OFF AS A GROUND BALL

Dong-wook's defense.

-An accurate throw.
-Nice!

Nice job!

A THREATENING BATTER IS NOW OUT

Two outs.

Nice job, Dong-wook.

DONG-WOOK'S GREAT DEFENSE

Hee-kwan needs to pitch

one more out for a quality start.

The first quality start of A Clean Sweep.

Allowing one run up to the sixth inning.

This quality start has
never happened on our show.

If Hee-kwan manages to pitch one more out,

he will be writing history.

THE LAST STEP TO A QUALITY START

Heo Ji-won is up next.

Ji-won, you can do this!

Ji-won!

HOW WILL THIS BATTLE END?

He makes contact.
It's a foul near third base.

What is fascinating is that

Hee-kwan controls his mind
to stay consistent.

That is just fascinating.

HE'S AMAZED

No way.

That was unbelievable.

THEY ARE FROZEN

EEPHUS PITCH
STRIKE

MY PITCHES AGAINST HITTERS

CAN'T BE READ BY THE SPEED GUN

That was like a drop tower.

He just disrespected the hitter.

DISRESPECTING THE HITTER

The batter froze up with that pitch.

SMILES LIKE A DAD

That pitch.

HE'S AMAZED

Because of that slow second pitch,

the batter flinched three times.

He wondered if he should swing.

Hee-kwan outplayed the hitter's timing.

That's what got him.

Even with a fastball, he flinches twice.

FLINCHES

The art of slowness.
Perfect control. Hee-kwan.

This pitch is…

A fastball! Strikeout!

A fastball! Strikeout!

Hee-kwan pitched eight strikeouts!

He records a quality start.

Today's Hee-kwan is flawless.

-Nice job!
-Let's go.

Let's go for the seventh inning as well.

That was amazing.

Pitch two more innings.

Pitch as if there are no relief pitchers.

Hee-kwan is amazing.

If Hee-kwan doesn't play, we'll catch up.

THAT'S NOT HAPPENING AND I'M BACK

The score is eight to one.
This is the seventh inning.

SEVENTH INNING
DONG-EUI 1 : 8 MONSTERS

It's the seventh inning,
and it's still Hee-kwan.

Manager Lee thinks that
Hee-kwan is the card to play today.

Manager Lee seems determined about it.

Even the bullpen is empty.
No pitchers are warming up.

EMPTY

This is a game we must win.

This may seem greedy.

But my goal is to pitch a complete game.

HIS WILL TO DEFEND
UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME

I saw it in his eyes.

He wasn't coming down anytime soon.

That's why I let him keep pitching.

It's him again.

DARN… HEE-KWAN AGAIN?

Let's get on a base this time. Please!

THEY'RE PRAYING TO GET ON A BASE

Yoo Tae-ung is up.

BATTER NUMBER 3
YOO TAE-UNG IS AT BAT

First pitch is a ball.

HE PATIENTLY PICKS OUT THE PITCHES

This is the first ball in three innings.

-Come on, let's do this.
-We can do this.

We can get on a base!

HE HITS!

It skips off the bat.
Goes behind first base.

-It's a hit!
-Okay.

He hit it, dang.

It's a hit. The ball lands near the line.

The batter is passing through second.

-Keep going!
-Go!

To third base.

Keep going!

-Let's go!
-To third base!

He safely gets on second base.

HE SIGHS

-Nice!
-Safe!

We got this!

What a lucky hit.

DONG-EUI FINALLY GETS A CHANCE
TO COUNTERATTACK

Tae-ung is in scoring position.

NO OUT, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

Jin-seok is up next.

He hit a triple against Hee-kwan
during the last inning.

CANNOT LET HIS GUARD DOWN AGAINST HIM

First pitch is a ball far out.

In my opinion, it's wise for CK Monsters
to prepare their next pitcher.

CANNOT BACK DOWN NOW

2 BALLS

-Nice!
-Ball!

He manages to stop himself from swinging.

JIN-SEOK HOLDS BACK ON HIS SWING

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

DONG-EUI IS STARTING
TO TAKE THE GAME BACK

One at a time. It's okay!

I don't recall him pitching two balls
with no strikes today.

-Right?
-That's right.

-He did hold back well though.
-True.

A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT, LEE JIN-SEOK

HEE-KWAN IS RUNNING OUT OF ENERGY
TO DEFEND AGAINST HIM

This is the third pitch.

Lee Jin-seok.

HE HITS!

He makes contact!
It's flying over the right field.

It's gone.

He makes contact!

It's flying over the right field!
Behind RF.

HOME RUN

He cannot catch the ball!

It's a two-run homer!

LEE JIN-SEOK'S TWO-RUN HOMER

-Nice!
-Great!

THIS IS INSANE!

Let's go!

HITTER AND RUNNER
ARE BOTH GOING HOME

Come on! Nice job!

DONG-EUI 3 : 8 MONSTERS

-That was crazy.
-Nice!

Come here!

THEY SHOUT

Is it their first one?

NODDING

CK MONSTERS ALLOWED
THEIR FIRST HOME RUN

Dong-eui starts to catch up!

They're making us nervous again.

-We won this game already.
-Momentum is ours now.

They seem so disappointed!

This is the very first time
the opponent team

hit a home run.

And that home run

was against the ace pitcher, Hee-kwan.

-Indeed.
-Right.

Everything in the game was
going according to CK Monster's plan.

But now, Dong-eui
puts a roadblock to their win.

That's right.

THE AIR IS FILLED
WITH THE WILL TO FIGHT

Timeout.

MANAGER LEE VISITS THE MOUND

-You threw about 65 pitches, right?
-Yes, sir.

-Nothing wrong, right?
-No.

I'll defend, sir.

-Okay. You got this.
-Thank you.

Let's go.

SEUNG-JUN IS WARMING UP JUST IN CASE

The score is eight to three.

It's only a five-point difference now.

That's right.

Park Jae-seong is up next.

5TH HITTER, PARK JAE-SEONG

Dong-eui players are bringing up
their inner strength to fight back.

That's right.

He makes contact,
but it's a foul near first.

FOUL

His number of pitches is going up
as hitters make more contact.

Indeed.

HE CALLS THE HITTER

Don't stand and swing. Crouch down.

THIS IS THE CHANCE
CROUCH DOWN AND SWING

You can do this!

INFIELDERS ARE UNDER PRESSURE TOO

HE HITS!

He makes contact.

Third base misses the catch.

THEY'RE CHEERING

Nice job!

SUCCESSFULLY GETS ON A BASE

Three consecutive hits.

Dong-eui starts to figure out
Hee-kwan's pitches.

They are bringing their spirits back up.

They seem so hyped.

Yes!

THEY'RE CHEERING

Let's win this!

As the game approaches its end,
the game becomes tenser.

Today, Hee-kwan didn't allow any
consecutive hits against the hitters.

That's so true.

This is the biggest crisis for Hee-kwan.

NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

-Is Won-sam also warming up?
-Won-sam?

IS HE WARMING UP WITH SEUNG-JUN?

SEUNG-JUN AND WON-SAM
ARE WARMING UP IN THE BULLPEN

THIS SITUATION IS HARD TO LET BE

WE'LL BE SUCCESSFULLY
DEFEND THE INNING?

Yoon Jun-ho is up next.

-Go!
-Run!

RUN FIRST, 1ST RUNNER!

It's a ground ball. Third base fields it.

To second base and first!

Okay! Catch it!

Come on.

He's got it.

-First base is safe!
-Thank goodness.

-Hey!
-Instant replay.

HE SHOUTS

Timeout.

He requests an instant replay.

He was quite fast at the last moment.

This is very important.
If this was a double play,

that means Hee-kwan

can defend this inning.

And if this is a double play,

this can discourage Dong-eui.

Shall we see?

INSTANT REPLAY

Jun-ho's feet landing on the base.

And the catching.

Let's see here.

BASE IS TOUCHED
BALL ISN'T CAUGHT

Jun-ho was only a few frames faster.

He declares safe.

SAFE

HE'S DISAPPOINTED

Jun-ho sprints

and manages to stay safe on first base.

One out with a runner on first.

Hee-kwan is pitching
until the last moment,

but he seems so worn out.

HEE-KWAN IS WORN OUT

Two outs are needed.

Cho Won-bin is up next.

The first one hits. It flies slowly.

-First!
-Third base dashes in to field it.

First catches the ball. Hitter is out.

Jun-ho gets to second base.

Nice job.

Two outs. Runner is in scoring position.

2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND

ONE LAST OUT TO END THE INNING

Just one more point!

Manager Lee's trust in Hee-kwan.

Can Hee-kwan manage to defend the inning?

FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HEE-KWAN

Hee-kwan is mustering all his strength
to throw this pitch.

He's up against Jung Ung-chan.

The first pitch makes contact.
It's a foul.

THE ACE IS USING ALL HIS MIGHT
TO HOLD OUT

This is good!

HE'S OUT OF STRENGTH!

You just need to cry out when you pitch!

Another foul.

FOUL

Good!

Two strikes.

The pitcher is Hee-kwan,
the ace player of CK monsters.

THE PRESSURE ON THIS SINGLE PITCH

Are you ready?

I CANNOT BACK DOWN NOW

He sends his signals.

EXCHANGING SIGNALS

The catcher tells him
to pitch close to the body.

-Strike!
-It's in the zone!

Strikeout looking!

-Strike!
-It's in the zone!

Strikeout looking!

AS EXPECTED, OUR ACE PLAYER

-Hey!
-Good one.

COME ON…

The score is eight to three.

Yoo Hee-kwan can still become
a winning pitcher.

The bottom of the seventh.
CK Monsters are batting.

Pitcher, Choi Yun-seo.

CHOI YUN-SEO IS ON THE MOUND

First at bat is batter two, Kim Moon-ho.

KIM MOON-HO'S 2-BASE HIT!

And Park Yong-taek.

AND IT'S JUST WET TAEK

JUNG EUI-YOON, FLYOUT

Two outs, runner at third.

2 OUTS, RUNNER AT 3RD

Lee Taek-keun is now at bat.

Throw it!

DONG-EUI 3 : 9 MONSTERS

In the end, Monsters score nine points.
Nine to three.

Seo Dong-wook is at bat now.

Let's finish it.

He hits the first pitch. Yoon Joon-ho.

He steps back and catches it.

Three outs.
But Lee Taek-keun makes a timely hit.

Nine to three.
CK Monsters move a point forward.

It's now the eighth inning.

-It's Hee-kwan again.
-What?

-Wasn't he done?
-Again?

Let's get them.

TOP OF THE 8TH INNING
DONG-EUI 3 : 9 MONSTERS

While he played as an athlete,
he struck out nine batters twice,

and he also struck out nine today.

7 INNINGS, 3 POINTS LOST, 90 PITCHES

I asked Hee-kwan if he was okay,

and he said wanted to pitch.

Ninety. Hee-kwan, ninety pitches.

Yes, I'll go up.

-Batter one hit my pitch,
-Okay.

-so I'll get my revenge.
-Okay. Revenge.

A REVENGE MATCH AGAINST KANG JUN-SEO

I'LL END YOU WITH MY PITCHES!

First batter, Wi Jeong-hyeon.

HE MUST STRIKE OUT BATTER 9

Let's go.

-Go.
-Let's go, Jeong-hyeon.

Let's walk out.

You can do this!

IT'S A HIT!

He hits. A grounder. Second baseman.

He couldn't catch.

THE FIRST BATTER GOES OUT

NICE

HEE-KWAN LET HIM HIT
FROM THE FIRST PITCH

He'll go out from batter two.

MANAGER YUOP GETS SEUNG-JUN READY

That's what Manager Lee wants,
but here's what's important.

It's dangerous to switch the pitcher

-when the runner is at first.
-Of course.

Yoo Hee-kwan is in a crisis.

He let the first batter go out again.

NO OUTS, RUNNER AT 1ST

Yoo Hee-kwan is getting quite tired,

and Kang Jun-seo is a player
who plays smart.

He already knows that.

I lost a point
after batter one made a hit, right?

So I said I wanted to pitch to him again,

that I wanted a chance to get my revenge.

I'LL MAKE SURE I STRIKE HIM OUT

One at a time!

IT'S A HIT!

The ball.

IT SKIPS OFF THE BAT AND FLIES UP

-No!
-Hey, catch it.

No!

We're done.

It's up front. Right fielder.

Kim Moon-ho catches.

Kim Moon-ho runs in for a while,

then catches the ball.

HEE-KWAN STRIKES KANG JUN-SEO OUT

-Nice catch.
-Hey, Hee-kwan.

NICE PITCHING

-Great job.
-Manager Lee is at the mound.

Yoo Hee-kwan high-fives his teammates

and leaves the mound.

YOO HEE-KWAN LEAVES THE MOUND

PITCHER YOO HEE-KWAN

STOOD ON THE MOUND
WITH THE PRESSURE TO WIN

TOP OF THE 2ND

The first strikeout.

TOP OF THE 2ND

TOP OF THE 3RD

TOP OF THE 5TH

TOP OF THE 6TH

TOP OF THE 6TH

TOP OF THE 7TH

HE PITCHED FOR 7 AND 1/3 INNINGS

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

HEE-KWAN ALWAYS DELIVERS

-Great job.
-Our hero.

-That was so cool.
-So cool.

-Hee-kwan, do everything you want.
-Everything.

Whenever I look at Hee-kwan,

I think of him as someone
who always delivers.

He throws solid pitches. He was fantastic.

But you aren't satisfied, are you?

I thought of pitching all the way.

HE WANTED TO FINISH PITCHING

DISAPPOINTED…

This isn't good. Show what you got too.

-Come on.
-Show them that we got Rhee Dae-eun too.

Give me a moment.

The second pitcher,
Song Seung-jun is on the mound.

His son and his friends are

-here to watch.
-You're right.

-Song Sam-bong!
-Song Sam-bong!

YOU CAN DO IT, DAD!

What was that? Their chant
for Song Sam-bong is hilarious.

Yes, really.

Let's go, Song Sam-bong.

My son kept chanting out
Song Sam-bong and rooted for me.

I was a bit ambitious
to show him a good performance.

Song Seung-jun is on the mound.
First pitch.

A bunt.

The pitcher catches.

To the first base. First baseman.
He successfully catches.

YOU GOT IT, SONG SAM-BONG!

-You got it!
-You still got your game!

He must be proud.

-He must be proud of his father.
-Yes.

-Nice.
-It's Seung-jun.

2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND BASE

Two outs, runner at second.

Yoo Tae-ung is at bat.

The third and fourth batters
of Dong-eui are the scariest.

AND THE RUNNER LOOKS
FOR A CHANCE TO RUN

Let's do this!

STRIKE

NICE

First pitch, strike.

Second pitch.

FOUL

It's a grounder. Foul.

That was over 137km/h.

Song Seung-jun
continues to raise the speed.

HIS SHOULDER IS GETTING STRONGER WITH USE

-Strikeout!
-Strikeout!

The batted ball flies up.

In the foul zone. He waits and catches.

-The inning ends.
-Good.

HE SWIFTLY ENDS THE INNING
AS HIS SON WATCHES

-Great job!
-Song Seung-jun!

MAJESTIC

Let's go! Just one more inning!

CK Monsters did not lose a point.

The difference is six points.

Onto the bottom of the eight.

BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
DONG-EUI 3 : 9 MONSTERS

Shin Seung-yun is on the mound.

-Seung-yun, it's our last chance.
-Yes.

-Pitch with confidence.
-Yes.

LEFT-HANDED ACE PITCHER,
SHIN SEUNG-YUN IS ON THE MOUND

SEUNG-YUN STRUCK OUT
A SERIES OF BATTERS IN THE 1ST MATCH

THE MONSTERS WERE
HUMILIATED BY SEUNG-YUN

The pitcher changed.

SUDDENLY ANXIOUS

Let's hit his pitch.

Let's hit it.

During the first game,
the batters of Monsters were

-defeated by Shin Seung-yun.
-Yes.

Will they be defeated twice
by the same pitcher?

I'm not sure about that.

So I wonder
what these legendary players will do

against this pitcher, Shin Seung-yun.

-Right.
-Yes.

FIRST PITCH, STRIKE

HE THROWS A STRIKE FROM THE START

GREAT JOB, MY GRANDSON

FOUL

THE COUNT IS AGAINST JEONG SEONG-HOON

WILL HE GET STRUCK OUT AGAIN?

Keep it up.

DONG-EUI 3 : 9 MONSTERS

Swing and miss. Strikeout.

Pitcher Shin Seung-yun

strikes out Jeong Seong-hoon.

Goodness, my back.

GOODNESS, MY BACK…

He definitely stands out. Shin Seung-yun.

Strike out all three in a flash!

-Keep it up!
-Strike him out!

STRIKE

EVERY PITCH TURNS INTO A STRIKE

Chong Tae-hyon, the pitching coach,
trained him well.

He's been throwing sidearm
for a year, right?

Yes, it has only been a year.

SHIN SEUNG-YUN DESTROYS THE MONSTERS

Man, we need to hit his pitch.

Lee Hong-ku is at two strikes.

IS SHIN SEUNG-YUN UNSTOPPABLE?

IT'S A HIT!

HONG-KU HIT THIS ONE?

Changeup. He hits it with the tip.

Center, left, and right fielders
all run in.

It drops between them.

Lee Hong-ku's single after one out.

LEE HONG-KU STOPS SHIN

Hong-ku hit a lot. Three?

Three. Three hits in five at-bats.

BATTING AVERAGE OF .600
5 AT-BAT, 3 HITS

Yoon Joon-ho of Dong-eui returns

to Monsters next time.

Is he showing him an example?
He hits three pitches in a row.

It's the first time
he hit all three pitches.

3 AT-BATS, 0 HITS

A player with .400 average,
the top home run batter

of the Independent League.

He introduced himself

-as someone who's rarely struck out.
-Yes.

NOPE, STRUCK OUT IN HIS FIRST AT-BAT

I want to hit an average of .400.

I'll keep it as an average of .400.

Make your first hit!

Hit by a pitch.

The second batting by Choi Soo-hyun.

He's hit by a pitch and walks.

-Goodness.
-Okay.

-He got it. Yong-taek will get it.
-It's a chance.

Let's go, M!

One out, runners are first and second.

Next, Jeong Keun-woo.

In the first and the second innings,

he hit two home runs in a row.
The batter is Jeong Keun-woo.

Lee Hong-ku at second,
Choi Soo-hyun at first.

A HIT EQUALS A POINT

It's deep into his torso. Four balls.

SINGING

After the first out,
all three batters walk out.

The third, second, and first base.

All bases are full with the Monsters.

Timeout.

Joon-ho.

COACH CHONG TAE-HYON VISITS THE MOUND

You hit the batter on the body.

The balance is important
for your pitching set.

-Yes.
-It comes out in this urgent situation.

Throw low to the outside. They hit slowly.

Low changeups with power.

-Throw far.
-Yes.

DONG-EUI 3 : 9 MONSTERS

Keep it up.

DONG-EUI 3 : 9 MONSTERS

The score is nine to three.
Six points difference.

Kim Moon-ho is up.

PINCH HITTER, KIM MOON-HO IS AT BAT

If Kim Moon-ho

hits a home run, the game will be over.

-You're right.
-Yes, it's a called game.

Get over the pressure.

ONLY 4 POINTS TO A CALLED GAME

First pitch, outside, ball.

His breaking ball hit
at a left-handed batter,

So he probably can't throw near his torso.

The ball flies outside. His bat follows.

Kim Moon-ho knows that
the pitcher will only throw outside,

so he must hold it back.

That's the battle.

1 OUT, FULL BASES

ONE HOME RUN ENDS IT ALL

Four points to a called game.

He swings.

A fastball.

A FASTBALL OF 132KM/H

-He's charming.
-Kim Moon-ho is… Yes.

He seemed flustered.

THE MATCH IS PROLONGED

-It's all right!
-Ride it out.

Hit it.

Hit it and it's one point.

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit.

It flies to the right. Right fielder.

It flies in front of Park Jae-seong.

Runner at third tags up.

-Lee Hong-ku returns home.
-Go.

A strong hit.

-Great job.
-Another point. Ten to three.

Good job.

This is the team
that gave us our first defeat,

but today, we're protesting
by getting a two-digit score.

-You're right.
-Yes.

His sacrifice hit helps us score.

And now, it's Park Yong-taek.

DONG-EUI 3 : 10 MONSTERS

Yong-taek, let's end it here.

Get it over. This time, be ambitious.

-You can get ambitious.
-Yes, be ambitious.

Let's do this.

Do as you like.

HOME RUN TAEK'S TURN

At this last moment,

he finds a chance.

I'LL END IT AS A CALLED GAME!

He hits. A slow grounder.

Second baseman picks up.

And thrown to first. Three outs.

3 OUTS

GROANING

YOU GOT FOOLED AGAIN?

Kim Moon-ho's sacrifice brings
one more point to CK Monsters.

The score is ten to three.

This may be the last inning.
The top of the ninth.

Dong-eui is batting.

Lee Jin-seok is first at bat.

Also,

Song Seung-jun is back on the mound

to seize the victory for this team.

Strike him out before he walks.

Let's catch them.

First batter, Lee Jin-seok.

-Strike.
-First pitch, strike.

His pitches are continuously
at over 130km/h.

3 REMAINING OUT COUNTS

-Pitch harder!
-Hey!

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER

IT'S A HIT!

The ball flies out.
The second baseman can't keep up.

The first batter is on base.

Three hits in this game.

Lee Jin-seok, batter four of Dong-eui.

He just hit a splitter.

A very clean swing.

Jeong Keun-woo tried to dive and catch,

but he was unable to catch it.

It was a little far.

NO OUTS, RUNNER AT 1ST

No outs, runner at first.

NO OUTS, RUNNER AT 1ST

Batter five, Park Jae-seong.

I WON'T ALLOW THEM TO HIT EVEN ONCE

STRIKE

A strike near his torso.

GASP…

-Nice.
-Hey, good pitching.

UNCLE SAM-BONG, NICE JOB

His son and his friends are here.

Yes.

Song Seung-jun would want to pitch

and end this game efficiently as a father.

END WHAT? YOU CAN'T END IT!

It's a hit. To the first base.

-Safe!
-He's safe!

JEONG KEUN-WOO'S DEFENSE
TAKES THE BATTER OUT

That was a quick decision.

THE DEVILISH 2ND BASEMAN

One out.

2 MORE OUTS TO GO

GOOD ONE

He casually throws the ball
toward the torso.

Yes, like it's not a big deal.

That's why he's a pro, right?

Yes, exactly.

One out, the runner is still at first.

He's a pinch-hitter.

It's Yoon Joon-ho's turn,

but they send out a pinch-hitter.

A SECRET WEAPON

You got it.

DONG-EUI, DETERMINED TO CATCH UP

Hit it to the back.

-Get it to the back.
-Destroy him!

IT'S A HIT!

It's a hit. Second base, Jeong Keun-woo.

He catches, to the first.

He throws to the second and puts him out.

The batted ball was very fast.

It was a tough catch.

It's amazing how he got near.

A great defense.

Man, two outs.

We're doing great!

1 OUT TO GO

We asked lots of questions,

but Manager Lee Seung-yuop
only had one answer.

-"We'll win no matter what."
-Yes.

Yes, and that's what led them
to this moment.

ONLY VICTORY

PINCH-HITTER LEE JUN-SANG IS AT BAT

FOUL

-Don't worry about it!
-You can do it!

STRIKE

DAD, JUST FINISH HIM

ONE MORE STRIKE, THEN THE GAME ENDS

We have to do this!

Swing and miss. Strikeout.

-Nice!
-The game ends.

YES, WE WON

MONSTERS WINS THE 3RD GAME

CK Monsters avenges the humiliation

after their first defeat.

I saw them.

I saw them play very hard.

Those retired players
even dove for the ball.

They didn't want to lose.
Their pride was crushed.

So I literally should have
let sleeping dogs lie.

LEE SEUNG-YUOP, LION KING

That's how thirsty we were

to take that word victory.

We really wanted that victory today.

THEY WERE DESPERATE

-A Clean Sweep, let's go!
-A Clean Sweep, let's go!

CK MONSTERS VERSUS
DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

AFTER THE GAME
WITH DONG-EUI UNIVERSITY

-Nice job!
-We haven't clapped in a while.

CAN'T HIDE HIS SMILE

Goodness, my back.

(THEY LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
COMPARED TO LAST WEEK)

You must always win when you play ball.

Congratulations!

FEELING LIGHTHEARTED

Did Manager Jung leave?

Yes, he left.

He said he won't go easy on us.

I just finished the interview
with Manager Jung now.

There was something quite memorable.

"I should have let sleeping dogs lie."

LEE SEUNG-YUOP, THE LION
SATISFIED

He admitted to his defeat 100 percent

and left for Busan.

I see. Goodbye!

GOODBYE

There's another player
who didn't play with us today.

Let's become a whole team once again.

-Get on the floor.
-You should kneel down.

We don't need you anymore.

Run back in.

YOON JUN-HO RETURNS

-Hello.
-Good work.

You should bow to us.

You had 3 games, 11 at-bats, and no hits?

ATTACKING HIS BATTING AVERAGE

-Either 10 or 11 at-bat.
-Same thing.

Good work.

He played a big part
in the victory of Monsters.

NODS

You look rather troubled.

I had a tough time
over the last three games.

What was tough?

It was just tough, period.

FEELING CONSCIOUS

I'll never have another chance
to play against the Monsters,

so I feel more at ease,
and I'll play better from now on.

-I see.
-You were criticized, weren't you?

YOU WERE CRITICIZED, WEREN'T YOU?

Okay. Let me announce
the MVP for this big game.

The third game with Dong-eui.

The MVP is…

THE CONSECUTIVE HOME-RUN HITTER,
JEONG KEUN-WOO?

THE QUALITY STARTING PITCHER,
YOO HEE-KWAN?

He hit two home runs in a row.

But he pitched the first seven innings.

Who's the MVP?

WHO'S THE MVP?

The other one will be hurt.

It's close.

Come on!

What's taking you forever?

(IS HE PLAYING AN AD HERE TOO?)

The MVP.

There are two MVPs!

THEY BOTH WIN

The MVPs are
Yoo Hee-kwan and Jeong Keun-woo!

TODAY'S MVP
YOO HEE-KWAN, JEONG KEUN-WOO

TOUCHED
I'M THE MVP?

EVERYONE AGREES

-Two stars.
-We should've seen their fight.

Hee-kwan!

-Goodness.
-We should've seen their fight.

THEY SUDDENLY WRESTLE?

Here. Congratulations.

All right. Hee-kwan who always delivers.

Two badges.

JEALOUS

Well, this feels great.

Above all, this was
a very important game for us,

so I'm very glad we won.

I tried very hard
and prepared a lot for this too.

I'm glad it came to fruition.

I would've been disappointed
if I didn't get this today.

HONESTY

I was rather angry after our last game.

I was burning on the inside too.

I played today's game
thinking I must win this one,

so it feels great to see a good result.

I hope our team continues to play well

starting with this victory today.

-Yes, thank you.
-Congrats!

YOU'RE SO COOL, MVPS

GREAT JOB!

Hey.

Soo-chang, you didn't do a thing.
At least talk.

-Why are they sitting together?
-Come on.

-Why?
-Come on.

THE THREE FOOLS OF THE MONSTERS

The three fools.

-What did you do?
-I cheered for them.

-You cheered. And?
-Yes.

I had four bananas
and six cups of hot chocolate.

1. CHEER 2. EATING SHOW

-Dae-eun?
-I killed 60 flies.

KILLED 60 FLIES

Dae-eun seems slow when he's with them.

DAE-EUN SEEMS SLOW
WHEN HE'S WITH THEM

And Manager Lee
no longer needs new players.

-What?
-What?

-What?
-What?

(DID I HEAR HIM RIGHT?)

TRYING NOT TO LAUGH

You said that.

I guess he'll play.

I GUESS MANAGER LEE WILL PLAY

We must play through with this team.

If we have too many players…

Rhee Dae-eun, Shim Soo-chang,
and Jang Won-sam

didn't do anything.

THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

After our last game,
I realized we weren't so great,

but I wanted to play
with them until the end.

I have that desperation now,

so I shared that with you
when I decided on it.

All right. We'll reflect your opinion

and stop recruiting new members.

Oh, wait.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT…

We have our team,

but Kim Moon-ho must

play for his school starting in July,
and it overlaps with us.

So please consider that.

-Yes.
-Please consider it.

We may loan players as needed

if we must do that in the future.

The faces and attitudes
of our players were

completely different
as soon as we began to play today.

I'm sure the viewers could see it too.

Bring us a tougher team.

-That's what I'd like to say.
-What's with him?

Why won't he discuss that with us?

No? Don't you agree?

Discuss it with us first.

-You can't just say that.
-So no?

-No?
-Talk to Manager Lee first.

NO, THAT'S NOT IT

Here's your next game.

It's a team we almost forgot.

-Choongam?
-Choongam.

We'll play the second game.

Let's end it quickly.

FORGOT ABOUT THE 2ND GAME
WITH CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL

I hear Choongam prepared a lot too.

Do look forward to it.

We will.

Manager Lee, will any of those three play
in the game against Choongam?

-Of course.
-They will?

-Really?
-One of them should be a starter.

-One of them is a starter?
-Yes.

Will he open the game?

THE STARTING PITCHER
SUDDENLY TURNS INTO THE OPENER

Will he open the game?

Your words are very dangerous right now.

EVERYTHING IS JOLLY

I'm sorry.

Now, you've done well today.

As the general manager,

I realize how amazing it is
to have played as a professional player.

I also saw how well those pros can play

once they began to focus.

It was a great game. Great job today.

-Thank you.
-All right!

MONSTERS WERE STILL THE BEST!

6 GAMES 5 WINS 1 LOSS
WIN PERCENTAGE .833

CK Monsters' dugout.

No one is smiling anymore.

It's not easy for Manager Lee
to lead this game.

-Darn it.
-It's tough.

Is he here to practice bunting?

He hits.

CHOONGAM IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT
FROM DURING THE 1ST MATCH

The runner begins. He slides in.

Safe at the third base!

CHOONGAM LEADS MONSTERS

STRIKEOUT LOOKING

-Great job!
-Strikeout looking.

SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT

9 STRUCK OUT

The pitcher is now on another level.

THE GROUND SHAKES

What are you doing?

THE MATCH BECOMES SERIOUS

Man, this is driving me insane.

RHEE DAE-EUN

THEY FACE THE SHADOW
OF DEFEAT ONCE AGAIN

Darn it.
