We're making another great memory in Incheon with the fans.
Hello, everyone.
This is the game between Seoul High School and Flame Fighters.
First, congratulations on your First Team Call-up. How do you feel?
I was surprised too.
I didn't know I'd be called up this soon.
But I was wondering why you came up so early.
- Wait, does this bother you? - No.
No, I'm just saying.
I'll stay composed in the middle
remain impartial, and do a good job.
Today's game is against Seoul High School.
- Seoul High School. - Their pitcher is amazing.
Because they have a player who could be the number one draft pick this year.
Let's go, SU DONG.
Let's get a clean inning.
SU DONG, full power!
149 km/h?
- 149 km/h... - Really?
It says 149 km/h.
- What is he? - What's with him?
A swing and a miss on the first pitch.
- That's a strike. - That's far.
His fastball is so good, he's just sticking with it.
I think he can get by with just his fastball.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
That's insane.
Is this the opener?
He's the fourth pitcher.
They've put PARK JI SEONG on the mound
and the evaluation is that there are no batters
who can hit his changeup.
- That's the one. The swing is called. - This is the changeup.
So this is it.
You can see why he's so highly rated by the scouts.
It's a Vulcan changeup.
He spread his third and fourth fingers.
So that was a Vulcan changeup.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
- Let's start with the first batter. - Let's start with the first batter.
That's a sharp swing.
He gets the first hit off YOO HEE KWAN in today's game.
The runner gets to second.
Let's just get past this.
HEE KWAN, come on!
Let's go!
It goes to the right.
The ball drops cleanly in right-center field.
He rounds second, third, and easily scores at home.
Is Manager KIM SUNG KUN heading to the mound?
His pitches are good, though.
Good job.
You did well.
YOO HEE KWAN came into this game with a lot of determination
but he's being taken out.
The next pitcher is this man.
The ace, RHEE DAE EUN, is heading to the mound.
Come on, DAE EUN.
Let's do this.
Let's go!
One out, runner on first.
Can't let him advance now.
We'll be in big trouble if he does.
- A hit. - A hit!
- He chopped down on a high pitch. - This!
- A 4-6-3 double play from second to first. - Perfect!
We need to score.
A pinch hitter right away?
Come on, SANG WOO!
Let's go, Lim-star!
He's trying to build some momentum here.
It's the gut feeling of the "God of Baseball."
That's it.
Okay!
Now's our chance to score.
Let's go, JEONG KEUN WOO!
He pulls it.
It's fair!
- LIM SANG WOO rounds second. - He has to come home!
Home!
LIM SANG WOO scores while the ball is being relayed.
And that's the man, JEONG KEUN WOO.
That's clutch.
A game-tying hit.
And MUN GYO WON is batting second?
He's basically telling him to bunt right in front of the plate.
Manager KIM SUNG KUN is continuously making aggressive moves.
Alright, GYO WON, you do it too.
There it is!
Okay.
Now the go-ahead runner is on third base.
I hope he can do it.
It's good!
- That's deep enough. - Did he catch it? He did.
The runner on third tags up.
The third baseman catches it and throws home.
Flame Fighters take the lead.
Score 2:1.
The Fighters turn this game around.
Both teams are just playing a high-level game.
Nice batting.
- This is tough. - As expected.
- It's hot, and it's really tough. - As expected from you, sir. Here.
A towel since it's hot.
- Wow, his pitches are great. - Are they?
- But you're in amazing condition today, aren't you? - Of course, it's me.
- As expected. - I can do it because it's me.
Are you hitting well these days?
My batting average is around .320 this year...
- Still at .320? - Yes.
I guess you can still act up for now.
Not much time left, okay.
Not much time left, but you're hitting well.
Try to hang in there.
What are you doing now?
I've always wondered, why don't you smell at all even when you sweat?
Seriously? For an athlete, how do you not know this?
How many years have you been playing baseball?
Me? Nineteen years?
Wait a minute.
- You don't know about this? - What is it?
The thing that pretty much all athletes use
WECHIK Laundry Sanitizer.
You don't know it?
This old-man smell... this thing.
- I just use whatever smells good... - No.
You can't use stuff like that.
You know that musty, sour smell is all from bacteria, right?
Using regular fabric softener for the smell gives you a headache
and the smell just comes back like this.
This one sanitizes 99.999% of odor-causing germs
so it gets rid of just the smell.
Then it'll never smell bad.
Look, regular fabric softeners coat your clothes.
The coating blocks absorbency and breathability.
That's why you're not supposed to use it on athletic wear.
But this WECHIK is different.
WECHIK is the best.
You can use it on all performance apparel
and it won't damage the functionality.
- I've learned my lesson. - Ok.
Anyway, they say it even deodorizes everyday odors without artificial fragrances
so don't ask any more questions and just stock up.
- Just stock up on it. - I understand.
Following your lead, I'll start managing my smell instead of my batting average...
Hey you...
This guy... honestly.
The battle between the two teams in the top and bottom of the 5th
- it feels like watching postseason baseball. - That's right.
If we lose today, there's no tomorrow.
Okay, it's a one-run game.
- Just get on base, you got it? - Yes!
Let's go!
Choke up on the bat.
You have to choke up and get on base.
- One, two, three! - Hey!
We're now in the top of the 6th inning.
LIM SANG WOO is at shortstop
and MUN GYO WON is in right field.
They need to protect this one-run lead
and RHEE DAE EUN is still on the mound.
DAE EUN, let's have a clean inning.
Let's go, DAE EUN.
- Can't give up a run today. - Come on, come on.
The inning begins with the number nine batter, KIM MYEONG HYEON.
KIM MYEONG HYEON is a player who can run
so when a tricky player like him leads off
it's best to get him out.
First pitch is a strike.
- Okay! - Okay.
I feel at ease.
He's pitching with ease.
Have to hit that.
Look for the high strike.
He swings sharply, foul ball.
His timing is completely off.
- It seems like he's trying to make contact somehow. - I know.
RHEE DAE EUN seems very composed on the mound today, and his pitching tempo is fast.
A breaking ball.
Uncaught third strike, RHEE DAE EUN completes the strikeout at first. One out.
- Alright. - Okay.
I can see it break all the way from here.
Wasn't that a curveball?
He's gotten crafty. That last one looked like a knuckle curve.
It does, a knuckle curve.
He threw a splitter and the batter just made contact
so he threw one with a bigger break to get the strikeout.
Many of the veteran players
and I'm not sure if this is the right way to put it
but they often say that RHEE DAE EUN has improved as a baseball player.
- Good job, DAE EUN. - He's doing a great job.
Now at the plate is the number one batter, LEE SI WON.
LEE SI WON has one hit today.
Come on, SI WON!
Watch the first pitch.
JAE WOOK, watch the first pitch!
Look for a high ball!
Strike on the first pitch.
Okay, good.
Excellent, RHEE DAE EUN.
- Okay. - Okay!
A slider?
- Is it a changeup? - Yeah.
He's got a changeup too.
- Pushed it foul. - Okay, good.
He throws all his off-speed pitches for strikes, so you can't hit it.
He'll hit a fastball.
PARK JAE WOOK is setting up far outside.
Outside.
Three pitches, called strikeout.
A 144 km/h fastball.
- Wow, that pitch was amazing. - That was sick.
PARK JAE WOOK is so experienced.
Since the umpire's zone is wide today
he set up as far outside as possible to induce a fastball.
Yes, and on top of that, what you see from RHEE DAE EUN is confidence.
He goes right after the batter with two strikes.
- That pitch isn't down the middle. - No, it's on the outside corner.
- It goes to the outer edge, which makes it a great pitch. - It paints the corner.
Now the lineup turns to LEE JEONG IN.
Two outs.
Swing and a miss.
His two-seamer just hit 140 km/h.
So good.
His two-seamer is 140 km/h, but it drops like crazy.
He's in really good condition.
How can a two-seamer have the velocity of a fastball?
Make contact.
- It drops that much. - In his prime...
He's the guy who had a pitching duel against SHOHEI OHTANI.
Breaking ball, swing and a miss.
- What was that? - It's a splitter.
- A splitter? - This is insane.
That splitter is really...
- incredible. - It's on another level.
And because it broke in towards the left-handed batter
he just couldn't react to it.
He threw a really great pitch.
You can't hit that. If a splitter breaks properly...
I think I have to hit it out in front.
Yeah, the ball's fast, so you should probably hit it out in front, Jeong-in.
Another swing and a miss.
Another swing and a miss for the strikeout.
KKK!
RHEE DAE EUN with a 144 km/h pitch.
That's filthy.
- Forkball? - That's a fastball.
Two-seamer? Fastball?
- What was that? A two-seamer? - That was sick.
A two-seamer that hits 144 km/h?
Insane.
The scorebook for the top of the 6th is filled with the letter K.
The inning ends with just three batters.
Does this gun run a little hot?
No, it's accurate here.
His stuff is just that good today.
A two-seamer at 144 km/h?
That looked like a four-seamer...
Nice pitch. That's awesome.
A two-seamer at 144 km/h.
- That's a two-seamer, right? - Yes.
It just dropped.
It's been a while since we've had a low-scoring game
so this one's probably going to be a nail-biter.
- I think we're about to have a picture-perfect moment. - Now that you've said that, I feel like someone's going to score.
Really?
You shouldn't say things like that.
- With me in it, it can be more relaxed. - Photo.
Should we do it like this?
Catcher!
The catcher and SANG HYEOK.
Seoul High School is making a defensive substitution.
KWON SANG HYEOK has come in to play right field
and they've also swapped the catcher for BU JE WON.
- They took out the catcher who had two hits. - Yes.
The aggressive moves by both managers are fierce today.
Hey!
I'll go get a hit.
Now, the bottom of the 6th, Flame Fighters' offense.
It will begin with LEE TAEK KEUN.
Come on, TAEK KEUN.
Let's go, leadoff.
Let's go!
TAEK KEUN needs to get a hit now.
LEE TAEK KEUN is still hitless in today's game.
He needs to get one.
He swings hard at the first pitch.
148 km/h.
- Nice pitch! - Nice pitch.
Yeah, that's good. HO BEOM's pitch is good.
Nice swing, 148 km/h.
- TAEK KEUN always swings at the first pitch. - Good swing.
When we played against him
we'd always throw an inside ball and stuff.
I think a batter has to swing at a first-pitch fastball.
If it's coming in.
The 148 km/h pitch... I don't know if it's just me
but he seems to be hitting it comfortably.
Try to intimidate him.
Get angry for once.
He hits it right through the pitcher's mound.
150 km/h.
LEE TAEK KEUN turns a 150 km/h pitch into a hit.
Does this even make sense?
150 km/h.
- 150 km/h. - It was 150 km/h.
- He hits it so easily. - It was 150 km/h.
He just taps it like that?
He's insane.
When commentator KIM SUN WOO used to believe in Lee TAEK KEUN, it didn't go well
so it was a bit awkward to watch.
But now, it's paying off.
Since the four-seamers kept coming to the same spot
his swing got shorter.
You took a big swing and it didn't work? Then you shorten it.
LEE TAEK KEUN gets his first hit of the game.
Bunt.
Runner on first, no outs.
Now it's the .300 hitter, PARK JAE WOOK.
It's a one-run game.
- He has to bunt. - Isn't JAE WOOK good at bunting?
JAE WOOK is a good bunter.
- PARK JAE WOOK still has the highest probability. - Yes, the highest.
PARK JAE WOOK is in his bunting stance.
Make it a sure thing.
He's coming, he's coming, JI WOO's coming.
It pops up behind the plate.
- JAE WOOK. - JAE WOOK, not you.
You were supposed to bunt.
If I were to point out Flame Fighters' only weakness this season
it's that they're not good at bunting.
Maybe their next practice will be all about bunting.
They wouldn't go as far as to practice bunting, right?
I have a feeling they will.
I think so too.
Don't chase it.
- It's a bunt, right? - Bunt.
He failed on the first pitch.
This is a situation where the play must succeed.
Two strikes on PARK JAE WOOK.
His pitches are nasty.
- 148 km/h! - Nice.
He can't possibly bunt that.
Two strikes on PARK JAE WOOK.
But what's risky now is that
if he throws an off-speed pitch and gets a ground ball
it's a double play.
That's why two strikes is dangerous.
Just strike out by yourself.
What are you doing, TAEK KEUN?
Look back!
The runner attempts to steal.
LEE TAEK KEUN is out at second.
Good job.
What are you doing?
Why? Video!
What is going on?
It's a one-run game...
He's acting up again.
Is he out?
- Out. - Out.
- He's out.
LEE TAEK KEUN saw an opening
and tried to take advantage of it.
- So in this scene... - Yes, let's see.
This is the scene.
He wasn't paying attention, so he suddenly ran
but the shortstop, LEE JEONG IN
made a good tag.
He must think he's still 29.
Why didn't he turn around, damn it...
It was a good attempt
but it didn't work.
Good job.
- Good job! - Nice try.
Nice try.
With that, the runner is gone
and the count is two strikes.
PARK JAE WOOK is preparing to swing away.
Hit it like GYO WON.
Challenge him right away. Let's get him.
Finish him off.
Swing and a miss.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
A high fastball.
150 km/h.
The momentum has shifted.
Two outs are recorded in an instant.
That was 150 km/h.
It came out earlier too.
Man, he's throwing the ball like it's a ping-pong ball.
My head...
- High fastball. - A four-seamer.
- This player is also tall, at 190 cm. - Yes.
His pitches are really good.
Well, in the bottom of the 6th
although it's the bottom of the order
the offensive momentum has really slowed down.
Focus!
Two outs, no runners on base.
At the plate
How do I hit 150 km/h?
is LIM SANG WOO.
Let's see what SANG WOO can do.
Relax.
It's a 150 km/h fastball.
150 km/h.
- All the pitchers are great today. - I know.
There's no way they can't win the championship.
He's really good.
I'm jealous.
You used to throw 160 km/h.
Everyone's always jealous of the present.
I'm jealous.
His arm angle is good.
But man, the life on his pitches is no joke.
Here comes the breaking ball.
They said his control was good, and it's truly amazing.
Yeah, that's the one.
You can't hit that splitter.
Is this it?
That's insane.
- Even a breaking ball? - He's really...
- He's found his confidence now. - Yeah, he has.
That's a splitter.
I think this player could be used in the bullpen right away in the pros.
LIM SANG WOO is behind in the count.
He hits it the other way.
He pulls out an infield hit.
- Wow, that guy's a good hitter. - That's SANG WOO for you.
A 150 km/h fastball.
LIM SANG WOO is a batter who can get a hit.
- He's a good hitter. - This Baseball game is strange.
- He's doing great. - When it seems like he's done for, he gets a hit.
You deserve to go pro.
You're doing great.
I think I can hear LIM SANG WOO's stock rising.
Even 150 km/h is no problem.
HO BEOM can't help it.
They're all good hitters.
You know...
My dream now is "Burn to win" baseball.
What's RYU HYUN IN up to?
- I heard he's the batting champion in the minors. - He's doing well.
- He's doing well in the Sangmu team. - At Sangmu.
He's in the army?
He is in Sangmu team.
LIM SANG WOO is good.
LIM SANG WOO is a good baseball player.
As expected. What's his school?
Dankook University.
Two outs. He can go if he gets a good start.
LIM SANG WOO takes first base.
And now it's up to JEONG KEUN WOO.
Let's get a pebble hit.
The same formula that tied the game.
LIM SANG WOO getting on base and a hit from JEONG KEUN WOO.
He hits fastballs well.
Keep throwing hard.
- He's a guy who got a hit off Ohtani. - He can hit even 160 km/h.
That's what I love. Just throw hard.
Will the "Devil's Second Baseman" JEONG KEUN WOO be able to
capitalize on this chance?
He can run.
He's running.
It's outside.
LIM SANG WOO's baserunning continues to shake up the pitcher.
JEONG KEUN WOO sang this himself.
- This? - Yes.
- Didn't he sing it himself? - He did.
There's an official release of "Stone."
He's a singer.
The ball gets away.
- Go! - Go.
LIM SANG WOO
becomes a runner in scoring position.
For us, there's no better chance than this.
Alright,!
- A chance. - Now...
Just one more hit.
And for LIM SANG WOO's value to really show
it would be a two-out hit, an error by the opponent to get to second
and then a hit from JEONG KEUN WOO to score a run.
That's what would truly elevate LIM SANG WOO's value.
One run is all we need.
A 2-ball count is a situation JEONG KEUN WOO will definitely swing at.
It's his favorite count.
It's way outside. The count is three balls.
- Ball. - Nice!
Walk him!
Walk him.
Umpire!
Intentional Walk.
- It's an intentional walk. - They're walking him.
Intentionally walking JEONG KEUN WOO on a three-ball count.
And they'll face MUN GYO WON instead.
But Gyo-won is no easy out.
- He's a better batter. - Take it easy.
You walked the wrong guy.
This is much better.
This is right.
They intentionally walk JEONG KEUN WOO on a three-ball count.
It's two outs, pitch to the batter!
That's Coach JEON IN HWAN. He was with LG.
He and I were in the minor leagues together.
- So you were in the minors. - With PARK JAE WOOK.
I thought commentator KIM SUN WOO
only walked on a path of flowers, but you were in the minors too?
Yes, I was.
- In your later years? - It was tough for me.
Two outs, runners on first and second.
MUN GYO WON wants to be a hero.
GYO WON, show them what you've got!
- You walked the wrong guy. - Let's go!
This player
is probably the player on the team, after PARK YONG TAIK
who wants to be a hero the most.
He's truly following in the footsteps of "Desire TAIK."
- So his nickname these days is MUN-TAIK. - That's right.
Our MUN-TAIK has to show them.
He swings at the first pitch. It's a foul.
- Okay. - Good timing!
He's swinging well.
GYO WON is going to win this.
And as soon as we get down to the field today, MUN GYO WON will ask.
"Don't you think I deserved to be the MVP today?"
One hundred percent.
- One hundred percent. - How did you...
He'll be thinking to himself
"One hit here, and I'm the MVP."
"I'm taking home the gold."
Smash one.
GYO WON, show them a three-run homer.
He swings at the second pitch.
It's another foul.
His timing is good.
Okay.
Nice pitch. 149 km/h.
Let's hit 150 km/h, one more.
Good pitch.
A hero emerges in difficult times.
Can he be that hero?
If he hits it out in front, he might even get an extra-base hit.
Because it's a one-run game in the middle innings
he has to come through here.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
MUN GYO WON is not a hero yet.
- Okay. - Nice pitch.
What was that?
That was a nice pitch.
GYO WON, was that a forkball?
Forkball?
Was that a forkball?
Does a forkball drop like that?
You pitched well, HO BEOM!
Let's go.
LEE HO BEOM is good.
I should remember him, LEE HO BEOM.
That time, KIM MIN JUN? LEE MIN JUN?
- With that guy... - KIM MIN JUN.
- With him... KIM MIN JUN. - Daegu High School.
We have to hold them this inning.
If we can just get through this...
Top of the 7th, Score 2:1.
The thrilling one-run game continues.
Hang in there, DAE EUN.
RHEE DAE EUN is still on the mound.
Now we're facing the heart of Seoul High's order, batters three, four, and five
so RHEE DAE EUN's concentration
and perfect pitching are needed at this moment.
He's going to hit a slider out in front on the first pitch.
Throw a slider on the first pitch.
Now the leadoff batter, KIM JI WOO, steps into the box.
JI WOO just needs one hit here.
I think he will hit.
I have a good feeling.
- We have to shut them down here. - He's the third batter.
We need to be careful here.
UI YOON.
- We have to be careful with this player. - Good work.
- Let's go! - Let's go, DAE EUN.
He swings at the first pitch. It's a foul.
What a swing.
It's amazing that a sophomore can play baseball like that.
Look at that swing.
Let me say this again, this player
is a sophomore, and he's the third batter.
He's also a player who can be a closer.
Is that the body of a high school sophomore?
No, really. Look.
Is that the body of a high school sophomore?
Back!
He gets an infield hit.
He split the gap in left-center!
He split it!
Hey, go to third, go!
The batter-runner to second.
Third!
Okay.
The throw goes to second.
He stops at second.
A leadoff double.
The tying run is in scoring position in an instant.
Wow, what kind of pitch did he just hit?
He hit it well.
He's a good hitter...
He faced four batters and got a double play and three strikeouts in an inning.
But...
He just gave up Seoul High's first extra-base hit of the game.
- And on top of that, to hit RHEE DAE EUN's knuckle curve like that... - Yes.
To hit it perfectly? You have to give him credit for that.
He adjusts his batting stance to the situation
whether it's a fastball or a knuckle curve. It's incredible.
There's a reason he's batting third as a sophomore.
Runner on second, no outs.
RHEE DAE EUN is in a jam.
Now, it's the number four batter, KIM KI HEON.
He won't bunt, right? Since he's the fourth batter.
I think they'll tell him to do some team batting.
Just do it once!
The fielders are good.
The tying run is in scoring position.
KIM KI HEON, get a hit.
That's it!
In front!
He swings at the first pitch.
It's a hit to center field.
He misjudged it.
JI WOO, hey, you punk.
Alright, third!
To third!
Slide!
Get him!
But KIM JI WOO gets to third first.
Seoul High School gets back-to-back hits.
- KIM KI HEON! - KIM KI HEON!
Well, it's an old expression, but Flame Fighters have met their match.
Man, Seoul High School is really impressive.
This was actually a perfect hit
so LEE TAEK KEUN made the throw to third to cover the gap.
Seoul High is the team that's pushing Flame Fighters the hardest.
- It seems not just anyone can win the national championship. - Of course not.
I'll call a timeout.
So, no outs, runners on first and third.
Yeah, let's hold them.
- Let's go for another double play. - Okay.
- Let's go, your pitches are good. - Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Who should we have ready in the back?
Who?
JAE YOUNG?
JAE YOUNG, start warming up.
Let's go, JAE YOUNG.
Now, just in case
SHIN JAE YOUNG is warming up in the bullpen.
But now, it's no outs, runners on first and third.
With no outs, the tying run is on third
and the go-ahead run is on first.
It's the number five batter, JO SEUNG JUN.
This player has two home runs this year.
Let's go!
Okay, we have to do this.
We have to stop them here.
A strikeout and a double play would be the best-case scenario.
- To not give up any runs. - An infield fly is good too.
JO SEUNG JUN, choke up.
He's choking up on the bat a lot.
Two infield outs.
Come on.
Go quickly!
The runner takes off.
- They're running a play. - He swung.
And at second
- We got it! - Go!
He's out at second
but in the meantime, the runner from third dashes home.
Seoul High ties the game with a strategic play.
Okay!
And just like that, Seoul High School ties the game.
The score is now 2:2.
So close.
A hit and run here.
But what I really didn't expect was
in a no-out, first and third situation
for them to do a run and hit.
I didn't see that coming.
Because JEONG KEUN WOO stepped on the base and caught the ball
an out was recorded
but it was a really difficult situation.
Now it's one out with a runner on first.
At the plate is JANG WON SEOK.
JANG WON SEOK is up.
Beat him, WON SEOK!
We have to cut them off here.
It's in there, strike.
A pitch on the opposite side.
That was actually a pitch on the opposite side, so it was quite risky.
A hanging pitch came in
but the batter didn't swing.
Wow, that could have been disastrous, really.
Easy, easy, come on.
It goes far outside.
He's pushing the ball a bit.
He's missing his spots.
Bring it up. We can win this.
- Welcome to the... - show!
He swings at the breaking ball.
Nice pitch.
Nice forkball.
Nice.
- This must be it. - A splitter?
- It disappears. - It's a splitter.
Look at that drop.
Suddenly...
- Strikeout! - Strikeout!
Can RHEE DAE EUN do it?
One ball, two strikes.
A pitcher's count.
Pitcher RHEE DAE EUN.
Called strikeout on the outside corner.
That's four strikeouts for RHEE DAE EUN.
147 km/h.
He's in his prime.
Wow.
He painted that corner.
With a two-seamer.
Oh my god... a two-seamer is 147 km/h.
That's incredible.
A 147 km/h two-seamer
is his fastest pitch of the season.
Wow, not even a four-seamer
but a two-seamer hit 147 km/h.
There's no time to think about conserving stamina or anything else right now.
Because he can't give up any more runs
he's pitching with all his might.
Now two outs, runner on first.
And it's BU JE WON.
They took out KIM TAE SEONG, who had two hits today
and put in BU JE WON.
Don't fall behind in the count, swing!
Come on, home run king.
Home run hitter!
Swing and a miss on the first pitch.
- That broke nicely. - It's a splitter.
Is DAE EUN running on adrenaline today?
Alright, come on!
An inside breaking ball comes in.
Nice pitch.
An inside four-seamer right away.
Bam!
How about 148 km/h?
It's great.
He's running!
- He's going! - The runner's off!
Outside corner.
Stolen base is successful.
Alright!
If he'd thrown it right away, he would've been safe.
Not safe, it's Out.
Because the game is tied, that stolen base feels huge.
There can be absolutely no mistakes.
This is a real nail-biter.
Seoul High School gets a runner in scoring position.
Hey, JE WON, if you get a hit, we take the lead.
Hey, JE WON, this is for the lead!
We can't let our guard down until the very end.
He pulls it.
He pulls it, but LEE DAE HO turns the hit
into an out.
And that ends the inning.
- Okay. - Alright.
Let's all get a hit.
This tense inning
the Fighters finish it in a tie.
Seoul High ties it 2:2, and we head to the bottom of the 7th.
Man, that number three batter swings with confidence.
Number three.
He got a breaking ball and just crushed it.
That was a hanging pitch, but he still hit it well.
The number three's hit dropped here, that was a good hit.
The number five's pitch was a complete mistake.
I really don't know how today will turn out.
- This is no joke. - But it's exciting.
This is really tough.
It's fun, but I really don't know the outcome.
I really don't know.
RHEE DAE EUN is pitching his heart out, for real.
We need to score one run now.
Okay, let's take the lead now.
- Just one run. - Come on!
And now, in the bottom of the 7th, we're at the heart of the order
for the Fighters' offense.
The lineup is good.
- We need to score more. - This is a good chance.
- It's a festival! - We have to score.
A festival.
Today, PARK YONG TAIK got the team's first hit
and drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly.
Let's go, leadoff.
And I've got a feeling.
What kind of feeling?
"Get out of here" is coming.
Get out of here!
- "Get out of here," right? - Yes, "Get out of here."
That's what the players say.
Get out of here.
- Let's take the lead. - Just one run.
That's nasty.
Nice pitch, HO BEOM.
- Good pitch. - Yeah, he's locating it well.
It was a fastball battle, so he completely threw off his timing
and induced a swing and a miss.
HO BEOM, throw hard, throw it!
He hits it the other way to left field.
Back!
KI HEON, please.
I can't see.
He hits it to left field. The left fielder...
makes the catch right in front of the warning track.
A roaring KIM KI HEON.
PARK YONG TAIK's opposite-field hit is turned into an out.
I tried using some English in front of the English expert, commentator Son
but YONG TAIK came back home.
- So close. - So close.
At this moment, we need LEE DAE HO.
- DAE HO. - DAE HO.
I was scary as hell earlier.
I got goosebumps listening to this when I went up there.
Let's see what happens in a power vs. power matchup.
- Isn't he from the Seattle Mariners? - Of course.
- I still remember that walk-off. - Against Diekman's 97-mile-per-hour fastball.
When he pulled it for the walk-off.
He's extremely strong against fastballs.
Try to stop him.
Three up, three down.
Okay!
Nice pitch.
- A slider? Looks like a slider. - A slider?
He did a great job battling his timing by throwing a slider just now.
Challenge him head-on with a fastball.
He probably can't throw a fastball.
He can't throw a fastball.
- Oh, 151 km/h. - Is that 151 km/h?
Wow, 151 km/h.
This kid!
He really put something extra on that one.
151 km/h, he should've made the national youth team...
Isn't he the ace?
I'd think facing the great LEE DAE HO
would make young players feel intimidated and shrink
but instead, it seems to have sparked a fighting spirit
- in him to get him out. - Of course.
A pitcher's count.
Hit a big one for us.
He checks the sign.
He throws.
Breaking ball, swing and a miss, strikeout.
What is that kid!
- Wow... - His pitches are filthy.
Damn...
After 151 km/h
a sharp slider.
He strikes out LEE DAE HO.
That's really incredible.
Look at the expression on his face.
He's on top of the world right now.
This is a story he'll tell for the rest of his life.
Nice game.
Nice pitch, HO BEOM.
And now, JUNG EUI YOON.
He needs to hit a surprise home run here.
JUNG EUI YOON takes a big swing.
That slider must be so sharp.
- Good pitch. - What is this?
- That kid's confidence is through the roof right now. - His confidence is soaring.
Getting DAE HO out sealed it.
HO BEOM is good.
He hits it high in the air.
Please, KI HEON.
In front!
- KIM KI HEON! - A high fly ball.
- That's it. - He waits for it and makes the catch.
And that ends the inning.
What's with HO BEOM today?
He's good.
- This is our biggest crisis. - I don't think we can score.
The heart of Flame Fighters' order, batters three, four, and five
was handled cleanly by pitcher LEE HO BEOM.
We head to the 8th inning.
He's good.
We haven't lost a single game this season
so we've never had this feeling of losing.
This is the first pitchers' duel we've had like this, right?
An error will decide games like this now.
- That could happen. - A single error.
It's the top of the 8th inning.
It's Seoul High School's turn to bat
and the score is still tied 2:2.
In the history of...
games against Flame Fighters
the most stable pitchers...
for both our team and the opposing team.
And so, only two runs have been scored by each team.
Let's go, DAE EUN. Focus on the first batter.
A single error can really change the flow of the game.
The leadoff batter, SONG JI YOON.
SONG JI YOON, get on base. Just one more run.
He seems to be losing steam.
Finally.
He's tired. This is tough.
We really have to score this time.
And with that, the leadoff batter gets on base.
This is the 8th inning, so a leadoff runner is not good.
- Tell the side-armer to get ready. - Yes, quickly!
JAE YOUNG.
He says to hurry up.
RHEE DAE EUN also took off his cap and bowed.
Runner SONG JI YOON is on first base.
The go-ahead run is on first
and it's the number nine batter, KWON SANG HYEOK, in a bunting stance.
Let's go, SANG HYEOK.
You can do it. Take pride in your bunt.
Hang in there, DAE EUN.
We have to score now. There are no more chances.
It's popped up!
- Got it. - That's it!
Up!
It's popped up!
- PARK JAE WOOK! - He caught it!
A defensive play by PARK JAE WOOK.
And that's one out.
Okay.
That was a huge out.
So, it's now one out with a runner on first.
This makes things much more comfortable for pitcher RHEE DAE EUN.
But the problem is the batter
LEE SI WON.
He has struck out twice
but he's a very sharp contact hitter.
SI WON.
SI WON, choke up on the bat.
After the failed bunt attempt, Seoul High School
how will they recover from this situation?
You have to look for a high strike.
They might try another run and hit play now.
To avoid a double play.
- I think they'll take the gamble. - It looks like a hit and run.
A run and hit?
Assume he's running.
The runner takes off.
The batter swings.
That's it.
Okay.
- He hit it! - Oh, we got it!
We got it!
The throw to first!
Shortstop LIM SANG WOO turns it into a double play.
And that ends the inning.
It went right to him...
Oh my...
That inning was a real nerve-wracker.
At first, I thought it was a hit because it was too close to the center.
- This is a hit. - The runner started, so Jae-ho was moving in, and it came right to him.
- So you need luck on your side too. - That's what luck is.
Exactly.
Lucky!
- We've been very lucky today. - SANG WOO was great.
Today is lucky-vicky!
It's done. Luck is on our side.
Let's go!
We really need to score here.
The miracle eighth.
Promise me.
We're now in the bottom of the 8th inning.
The leadoff batter is JEONG SEONG HOON.
- If Seong-hoon gets on base, something will happen. - Let's go.
- Let's go, Seong-hoon. - Let's score.
You have to get on base.
JEONG SEONG HOON has one walk today but is 0-for-2.
Let's go!
The Bonghwangdaegi tournament is starting soon
and LEE HO BEOM is still hanging in there on the mound.
They need to save their pitching staff, but that's how much they don't want to lose this game.
That's right.
Finish it up cleanly.
The first pitch is outside.
- Okay! - Okay.
Just get on base, no matter how.
Show them.
He's putting too much power into it.
- Okay. - Alright.
The miracle eighth.
Miracle eighth.
- The miracle eighth. - Miracle eighth!
"I have to shut them down this inning, no matter what."
- That kind of determination is showing. - Relax, take it easy.
- Don't you want to pitch, HO BEOM? - HO BEOM, it's not about power.
Speed!
If he walks him, they'll score.
They'll score all their runs in the 8th.
- It's a ground ball to third. - Back.
Get it!
- The third baseman fields the high chopper and throws to first. - Easy.
He throws it comfortably.
- Wow... - What an arm.
What an arm. He's throwing it so easily, but the ball flies.
I wonder what his arm would be like if he pitched from the mound.
It looked like he threw it very easily, but it just sailed.
- This is the two-way player, KIM JI WOO. - Nice.
He's like me back in high school.
He throws 154 km/h.
- You guys never saw me throw from short in high school, right? - No.
We probably weren't born yet.
You weren't born, damn...
Come on up to third, let's see what you've got!
Don't come up.
Please.
We really need to score. The number three batter is scary.
And at the plate is LEE TAEK KEUN.
LEE TAEK KEUN has been hitting well.
Manager KIM SUNG KUN confirmed it during practice at Suraksan.
Did the manager praise him?
I'm not sure if he went as far as praising LEE TAEK KEUN.
- You don't know? - He definitely praised SHIN JAE YOUNG.
If you'd said the manager praised him, I was going to call him the MVP again.
- My apologies. - It's fine.
- I would've said it even if I didn't know. - Give me some inside info.
But he's always praised.
In my opinion, LEE TAEK KEUN's...
powerful swing will come out.
He'll swing hard.
Challenge him even if you get hit.
Don't make it difficult.
Challenge him, HO BEOM.
Foul.
That was a really sharp swing.
That was a strike.
He's disappointed in himself right now.
He's not disappointed. Why is he nodding his head like that?
Commentator Son, why does TAEK KEUN get so tense when I praise him?
He does well when others praise him.
- Because it's a situation where he can be the hero. - Is that so?
- LEE TAEK KEUN! - LEE TAEK KEUN!
- LEE TAEK KEUN, hit! - LEE TAEK KEUN, hit!
Now, this season's strong MVP candidate
we need a big hit from LEE TAEK KEUN.
Just get under it and send one flying.
He pulled it!
It's a hit down the third-base line.
- Go quickly! - Go quickly!
LEE TAEK KEUN to second.
It's an extra-base hit.
He reaches second easily.
Now the go-ahead run is at second base.
Okay.
The miracle eighth.
Miracle eighth!
Nice batting.
Let's go!
He hit a crucial double
and it would have been beautiful if commentator KIM SUN WOO hadn't been so wishy-washy.
Yes, I'm having a tough time these days.
And today
they told us to do a three-person commentary
and the writer was constantly writing something earlier.
Something about commentator Kim being in danger.
With all this, can I get a word in?
I can't get a word in because of commentator Son.
The production team is trying to start a fight today.
But actually, the two of us are on good terms.
Exactly. They must know that.
And this game is not an environment where I can
handle the two of you competing.
- A tense game like this. - Of course.
Okay, one out, runner on second.
I've been up once, right?
I've been up once?
JI WOO, get your glove ready.
This is a runner in scoring position
so Seoul High School must be feeling a lot of pressure.
He's here.
- He's here. - He's coming up.
The final boss is coming up.
- Earlier, his throw from third to first was insane. - The ball was flying.
But I heard he's a sophomore.
- Yes, he's a sophomore. - His batting is incredible.
Hitter, JEON MIR.
If you give up one run, it's over, HO BEOM.
It's okay to be a little careful.
Got it? One run and it's over.
But you don't have to try too hard not to give it up.
Batters eight and nine are the weakest.
So you have to go after this guy.
If you walk him, it gets tough with the first batter, okay?
Don't miss to the side.
- Let's induce a weak hit. - Okay.
They're not changing pitchers?
That's a mistake.
Isn't it our miracle eighth?
If he gives up a hit now, it's over.
Score a run
- and then get three up, three down. - JAE WOOK, just hit a blooper once...
JAE WOOK, let's get a miracle blooper.
A miracle blooper.
JAE WOOK hits well in these situations.
The miracle eighth won't abandon us.
It's one out with a runner on second
and it's PARK JAE WOOK and then LIM SANG WOO.
A broken bat hit behind first base.
Please.
PARK JAE WOOK's solid hits come off the end of the bat or the inside.
Can he get a solid hit
to take the lead again in this game?
Tied 2:2.
One out, runner on second.
Please stop them!
Go after him.
He swings at the first pitch!
Okay.
- KI HEON. - KI HEON, please.
Is it going into foul territory?
- Foul! - Get out!
- Get out. - Please get out.
He caught it in foul territory.
He dropped...
Damn, at the very end...
It was on the edge of his glove...
Didn't that hit the ground?
- Didn't he drop the ball? - He did not drop it.
He made perfect contact, so I was hopeful
but today, left fielder KIM KI HEON's range
and catching have been very solid.
- He's helping you out. - Okay.
That was close...
Let's go.
And now, the man who was called a star
the player who was nicknamed Lim-star despite being a young gun, LIM SANG WOO.
SANG WOO.
SANG WOO, you're on fire today.
Our next batters are good.
Theirs are better.
- Starting from number three? - No, from number two.
If number two gets on... number three's swing is scary.
- That kid really swings well. - He was scary.
Tell the outfield to come in.
- Center! - Left field, come in.
Right field!
Left field!
The defense is helping you out, LEE HO BEOM.
The defense is helping you!
Take responsibility and shut them down!
Let's see.
Relax, take it easy.
He swings at the first pitch.
It's a hit to the right.
Lim-star!
LEE TAEK KEUN rounds third.
The ball!
He's out.
He can't make it home.
Stop.
- Wow, what an arm. - What's with that guy!
- He's a dead man. - Wow, what is he?
A dead man.
He's doing great.
- That's too bad. - The right fielder was playing too shallow.
But something had to be created by LIM SANG WOO
and he did it.
- That's LIM SANG WOO. - What a great arm.
- He's insane. - What was that?
The ball was hit too fast.
The right fielder caught it too quickly.
And the right fielder was playing in.
He was playing in.
KWON SANG HYEOK came forward to make the throw
and the third base coach's decision was right.
But hold on.
He's on third.
Damn it, please.
At the plate, JEONG KEUN WOO.
A wild pitch, just one...
It's the best-case scenario.
Can't we get one wild pitch?
Throw a wild pitch with a slider.
When you think you need a clutch hit in a situation like this
things like a wild pitch often happen in baseball.
Let's hope for it.
I feel like anything you say will come true, commentator Son.
If it doesn't, I'll just have to go to the minors.
Don't worry about the runner, just focus on the batter.
If we stop them here, we win.
LEE HO BEOM, focus on the batter!
Go after the batter. LEE HO BEOM, if you stop them here, we win.
HO BEOM, just win this one for us. Please, please.
He blocked it well.
- Yeah! - That's it.
- A wild pitch would be the best. - It almost went as planned.
Blocking.
JE WON, it's okay, you can let it go.
Okay.
JE WON, be sure.
I really think something's going to happen.
It's a drop.
Okay.
Is a wild pitch coming?
I think he's going to throw a wild pitch.
- Please. - Let's go, Devil!
The batter who tied the game today was also JEONG KEUN WOO.
Give your heart!
"Shinzou wo sasageyo."
The third pitch.
It's three balls.
- Okay! - Okay.
Is it going to be up to GYO WON?
Let's be the hero, GYO WON.
Tell him to pitch carefully.
HO BEOM, be careful. It's okay.
Don't give him an easy one.
He's setting up way outside.
You're right. It's an unseen intentional walk.
JEONG KEUN WOO!
In the end, he walks the batter.
Now, two outs, bases loaded.
And it's MUN GYO WON.
He struck out earlier in a crucial moment.
When you go up to bat
tell him not to swing under the ball.
- GYO WON? - Tell him to swing comfortably.
GYO WON.
The bat.
GYO WON, you can hit it out in front.
GYO WON, be a hero.
Let's go, GYO WON!
Yeah, GYO WON!
Please.
- Please! - Our youngest.
Our MUN-TAIK wants to get a hit. That's the kind of player he is.
One chance to be a hero has passed.
It's a fastball.
But...
that chance has come to MUN "Potato" GYO WON.
HO BEOM, one by one!
- That's it! - He hit it!
Okay!
He swung at the first pitch!
But it's caught by the second baseman.
LEE HO BEOM!
Okay!
We won, we're going to win this.
- Let's go. - Let's go!
Let's go!
And that ends the inning.
Leaving the bases loaded
the Fighters' offense in the bottom of the 8th comes to an end.
Still tied 2:2.
We head to the final inning of regulation, the 9th.
He made contact.
You potato!
This game is insane.
We should have scored in the bottom of the 8th.
Our lineup is better in the 9th.
Right.
A completely new Cleanlap.
That's what an ace does.
A performance that takes care of your entire life.
Improving even the smallest inconveniences
nice play.
- As expected from the nation's brand, Cleanlrap. - The nation's brand, Cleanlrap.
- Caring for Life, Cleanlap. - Cleanlap.
- Block them. - Let's go.
Let's get the defense to block them first.
Because our team does have a walk-off hitter.
YONG TAIK's pinch runner...
- I don't think he'll use a pinch hitter, his gut feeling is good. - He won't use a pinch hitter.
If I get on base, and then UI YOON gets on, I think a pinch runner will come in.
- Good work. - Fighting.
We're now in the top of the 9th inning.
If RHEE DAE EUN can hold them here
the bottom of the 9th goes back to the heart of the order.
The Fighters could have another chance for a walk-off.
This final 9th inning is quite...
It's a chance for both teams because their lineups are so good.
That's right.
As you said, Seoul High has their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th batters up
and the Fighters have their 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
The leadoff batter is LEE JEONG IN.
Hey, JEONG IN, let's try to get on base!
You should be out a bit when pitcher warming up his arm.
The batter isn't supposed to be in the box while the pitcher is warming up.
RHEE DAE EUN seems a bit tired.
He gave it his all earlier.
That old man has no strength left.
- You have to stop the leadoff batter. - DEA EUN, come on!
You absolutely have to stop the leadoff batter.
If we go into extra innings, variables come into play.
Because of the variable of the tiebreaker
we never know how it will turn out.
- Of course. - In this 9th inning
they need to hold them and then score.
First pitch.
It's a ball.
- Ball! - Okay.
Okay, huh?
What?
- You have to get the first batter. - Nice pitch.
You absolutely have to get the first batter.
Facing the next batter, KIM JI WOO, with a runner on? That's a no-go.
If he gets on, we win.
Swing and a miss, the count is one and one.
- Okay! - Thank you,.
He's guess-hitting.
It's one ball, so he's definitely going to swing.
JEONG IN.
JEONG IN, you're getting ahead of yourself.
Calm down, it's okay.
Calm down, take it easy.
One ball, one strike.
He holds back on a high pitch.
Okay.
Nice.
He seems to have lost some steam.
- Let's change pitchers after the next batter. - What?
- Let's change pitchers after the next batter. - Okay.
JAE YOUNG!
You're up next, warm up quickly.
You're up next!
Next batter.
This is the last one.
Fighting!
So he's going to swing again here.
The fact that he did it on a one-ball count means he's
feeling it himself, he wants to be the hero.
He's swinging.
- Okay. - Okay, nice.
Hang in there, DEA EUN!
He has to get this guy, no matter what.
Get on base.
You can hit it.
- A hit for LEE JEONG IN! - A hit for LEE JEONG IN!
He has to go in with confidence.
RHEE DAE EUN has to win this all the way.
RHEE DAE EUN.
Can he close it out here?
RHEE DAE EUN goes.
It's in there, called strikeout.
Okay!
That's five strikeouts for RHEE DAE EUN.
He gets one out like that.
Change him.
Is Manager KIM SUNG KUN heading to the mound?
He's thinking it won't be easy against KIM JI WOO.
It's just as you said, commentator Son.
With a tired RHEE DAE EUN, facing KIM JI WOO is difficult.
DEA EUN, your pitches were great today.
Really, I admit his pitches were great today.
- Good job. - My knee hurts here.
It's okay, manager.
You can't do it.
Good job.
RHEE DAE EUN, who held the mound strong, is done for the day.
- RHEE DAE EUN! - RHEE DAE EUN!
So the question is, who's coming in?
That means it's the pitcher he's trusted the most recently.
Let's go, JAE YOUNG.
It's SHIN JAE YOUNG.
SHIN JAE YOUNG is taking the mound.
SHIN JAE YOUNG will face the very important 3rd, 4th, and 5th batters.
- Do your best. - Yes.
Facing KIM JI WOO head-on with power against power, there's no chance of winning.
Instead, with someone like SHIN JAE YOUNG who throws from the side
- throwing decoy pitches... - Slider.
Let's go for a swing and a miss with a slider.
Today, the "God of Baseball's" choices have always been right. Will...
this 9th inning pitching change
produce a good result?
SHIN JAE YOUNG is on the mound.
Hyung.
On the first pitch, he usually can't hit breaking balls
but he was looking for a breaking ball in his previous at-bat.
So, throw a slider for a ball on the first pitch
- see his reaction - Okay.
and then decide whether to go with a fastball or another slider.
- Let's decide. - Okay.
Call JI WOO over.
- JI WOO. - KIM JI WOO.
- KIM JI WOO.
- The ball... KI HEON, you come too. - KI HEON.
The ball is slow.
The ball isn't that fast.
You can definitely hit it. Maybe around 135 km/h?
It'll definitely come in around that speed.
But he throws this well to the outside.
He throws the one that breaks away well.
So if you're looking outside and swing, you'll always swing and miss.
Look for the middle.
You have to hit the one that breaks to the middle the other way.
Don't pull it, got it?
Choke up and let's try to get it done somehow.
If you were in my shoes, do you think I'd be looking for a slider or not?
I think you would.
I'll look for a slider on the first pitch.
You have to hit it this way.
Let's go, JAE YOUNG. One out.
Now, the batter SHIN JAE YOUNG will face
is the only player among Seoul High School's batters today
to record an extra-base hit.
It's KIM JI WOO.
But why is this player nodding as he comes up?
Does he know something?
Is it a slider?
With confidence.
With power.
Let's test the waters with the first pitch.
A slider battle is about to unfold here.
Even the power pitch is a slider.
- KIM JI WOO. - Fighting!
But I really think one is coming here.
If KIM JI WOO hits a home run, it'll be historic...
SHIN JAE YOUNG throws.
Really!
- A slider. - He swings at the first pitch.
It's mishit.
It's popped up high.
And he swings at the first pitch.
JEONG KEUN WOO handles it.
Okay!
The "God of Baseball's" choice, one pitch turns into an out.
A breaking ball...
He said he was looking for a breaking ball, and then he does that.
He must have thought SHIN JAE YOUNG's slider had a better chance than RHEE DAE EUN's fastball.
- And this is the result of being able to end it with one pitch. - Exactly.
- The slider wasn't even perfect. - I know.
But even if this sidearm slider jammed him, it would work.
That judgment won.
That was a close call.
Aish, it was a mistake pitch.
Keep it low, JAE YOUNG.
This is KIM KI HEON!
We still have to be careful with this player.
- KIM KI HEON has a multi-hit game today. - That's right.
I think he'll be swinging for the fences too.
Since he already has two hits.
Swing and a miss.
Okay.
His slider is starting to break sharply now.
KI HEON, go for one.
Way out there.
Can he finish this inning without giving up a run?
One more!
Oh, inside.
It's inside, a jammed hit.
JEONG KEUN WOO fields it and throws to first for the out.
And that's three outs.
That's it!
The "God of Baseball's" choice.
That choice was SHIN JAE YOUNG.
And that choice...
was right once again.
Flame Fighters didn't give up a run.
We head to the bottom of the 9th.
- Okay. - Let's go, come on!
Good job.
Let's go.
JAE YOUNG has now...
- stepped up. - Just a few...
Commentator SON GEON YOUNG
asked if that player even showers, but now
he's become the manager's trusted man.
Is it a full moon? The moon is big.
It looks like a full moon.
Hey, look at the moon.
Look at the full moon.
Wow, that's beautiful. It's huge.
Why is the moon so pretty?
It's huge, right? It's over there, look.
It's perfectly perched on the edge of the stadium.
GYO WON.
Look at the moon.
- It's pretty. - Can you see it?
Did you see the moon over there?
- I should have hit it. - It's okay.
I was too confident.
It'll come back to you again.
I was too confident, so I just swung freely.
This moon is really pretty.
A full moon is rising.
It's your turn.
It seems like it, right? I have a feeling.
Can he get another walk-off?
Under the full moon at Munhak Stadium
the Fighters' offense in the bottom of the 9th begins.
The pitcher's changed.
They made a pitching change, and the game is tied.
Instead of KIM JI WOO, they've brought in the senior, KIM DONG WOOK.
He throws a fastball, slider, and a two-seamer
but his velocity isn't that high.
The best pitcher for you.
His arm doesn't come all the way over.
It's strange if the ball doesn't come.
We can handle this guy.
He's the most hittable one so far.
Out of every pitchers who's come up on mound
he's the most hittable.
Aish.
I'm nervous.
The reason they didn't put in KIM JI WOO is because they're not leading.
Since it's 2:2, if they can hold the 9th, they can go to extra innings.
They're considering various possibilities
and chose KIM DONG WOOK. Let's see how this choice turns out.
Wow.
- That third baseman's arm is so good. - What's the third baseman doing?
Is he warming up to pitch?
I know...
- Look at the third baseman throwing. - I saw.
- He's awesome. - I've been watching him the whole time.
- He's on another level. - I hope he gets to pitch.
He's winding up over there?
Wow!
The ball doesn't drop.
He's warming up his arm.
I guess he'll come in during a crisis.
The leadoff batter is PARK YONG TAIK.
Let's go, PARK YONG TAIK!
Let's end it!
- PARK YONG TAIK. - PARK YONG TAIK.
One big hit and this game is over.
Let's end it.
First pitch is a strike.
- What was that? - Nice pitch.
He's not going to get a hit.
Why is this guy's pitch so slow?
It's in the 130 km/h range.
What was that, a slider?
- Wasn't that a fastball? - Isn't it a slider?
A sharp foul ball down the first base line.
No jam shots, get a solid hit!
I think it's coming in like a two-seamer.
A two-seamer like this...
I think he's getting jammed a bit.
I don't think he's getting jammed that much.
I think that one was outside.
It's coming in like a two-seamer.
It's a two-seamer.
The drop on it is good.
- DONG WOOK is good. - His pitches are dirty.
The spin on this isn't straight.
Not at all. Did it drop with power?
The movement at the end of the pitch is so good
- that the timing is off. - It is.
He's tricky.
Out of all the teams we've faced this year, their pitchers seem the best, right?
Their pitchers are good.
I think DONG WOOK can really get PARK YONG TAIK out.
DONG WOOK's pitches are something else today.
Two strikes, PARK YONG TAIK is behind in the count.
Come on...
- A walk-off in the bottom of the 9th... - Let's end it here.
Throw a nasty two-seamer.
He shattered his bat!
Run!
It's coming down.
Infield.
In front!
- Hey... - LEE SI WON.
Run faster, run!
It's coming down, and the second baseman makes the catch. One out.
Okay.
His pitches are dirty.
What the hell kind of pitch was that?
Why did that get jammed?
It must've broken. It must be tailing in.
It's probably getting in on him.
But there are still two outs left
and two home run hitters are coming up.
- The batters who have each hit two home runs are coming up next. - Of course.
- Walk-off home run. - Walk-off home run!
- DAE HO. - DAE HO.
No, this feels like a home run.
DONG WOOK, focus, please!
You can beat him!
End this battle.
First pitch is a strike.
- KIM DONG WOOK! - Wow!
Wow, damn.
- He's throwing with confidence. - What was that?
These kids are confident.
He's just throwing it, whether it's LEE DAE HO or not.
His velocity just hit 137 km/h.
Let's go.
- It's inside. - Oh, inside.
He's going to get hit.
- Is that a strike? - I think so.
Good job, DONG WOOK.
Strike is called again.
Okay.
No.
That's low! He's a big boy!
Well...
That's a ball even for JEONG KEUN WOO.
It's okay, he hits better with two strikes.
Challenge him right away.
DONG WOOK, make your dream come true.
A 1-2 count.
Deep inside.
It's low, and the count goes full.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay.
Please just get on base.
You have to get him, you have to do it here.
Focus, he's getting rattled.
Even if DAE HO walks, we can't use a pinch runner.
No, we can't.
Because of extra innings, we can't use one.
Well, even if LEE DAE HO walks with one out
I don't think there will be a pinch runner.
- Home run, LEE DAE HO! - Home run, LEE DAE HO!
- LEE DAE HO, home run! - LEE DAE HO, home run!
- He's focused now.
A full count showdown.
It's a walk.
- Okay. - Okay.
Nice.
With one out, LEE DAE HO heads to first.
Runner on first with one out.
Will they use a pinch runner?
This is the timing to use a pinch runner.
We can't use a pinch runner.
I don't think so.
- We can't use a pinch runner. - No.
- Change the runner. - To who?
The short kid.
DONG WOO? MIN BEOM?
- MIN BEOM. - MIN BEOM?
MIN BEOM!
- Change him? - He is changing me?
- Yes, with a pinch runner.
What if we go to extra innings?
- Let's go, MIN BEOM. - Yes.
I think they're making a change.
- It's one out. - Yes.
- He's making a bold move. - Yes, he is.
He's sent in KIM MIN BEOM.
He's a catcher, but he's fast.
- Wasn't he the one who scored the winning run in the finals for Daegu High? - This kid is very fast.
I thought he was Usain Bolt.
Here he comes, the walk-off runner. MIN BEOM, who was always our walk-off man.
We need a walk-off hitter too.
Exactly, we need a walk-off hitter.
And at the plate is JUNG EUI YOON.
He's a top hitter, but he's hitless today.
Good work, umpire.
Mr. JUNG UI YONG?
His body is really insane.
His body is unreal.
Anyway, that's that.
Today, whenever Manager KIM SUNG KUN has called a play, it's worked.
LIM SANG WOO.
I think UI YOON is going to get a hit.
- Please get one. - He's going to hit one out of here.
Please, I think JUNG is going to do something.
I think UI YOON will get a hit.
He gets hit by a pitch.
Aigo, father of twins.
Aigo.
I'm sorry.
Get up.
Get on base, quickly!
This is not the time for that!
Get on base quickly!
UI YOON.
Go, UI YOON!
Go, UI YOON.
Did it hit your neck? Wasn't it your back?
- It rode up to my neck. - Right?
It hit your back, right?
The shock went right through my neck.
Don't move, don't try to loosen it up now.
Just stay still and relax.
Aish...
Come here.
Good job.
DONG WOOK, you did well. Apologize.
So now it's one out, runners on first and second.
Okay, let's have SEONG HOON end it.
- Let's go, SEONG HOON. - Yeah.
I think the pitcher's changing. The third baseman.
He's coming in.
Or not? He's coming in.
And Manager KIM DONG SOO caught the ball.
So now...
The third baseman...
- You're right. - It's KIM JI WOO's turn to pitch.
Let's go, 158 km/h.
- Here... he's saying they have to stop them here. - That's right.
He's bringing in his best pitcher.
This game is amazing.
And with this, a talent of a generation...
We get to see this player?
There's only one reason this player isn't well-known yet.
It's because he's a sophomore.
- The major leagues are already watching him. - That's right.
- It's okay if you get hit. - Yes.
You have to make him hit.
Save as many pitches as you can, okay?
He's only a sophomore, but he's already hit 153 km/h.
As a freshman, with a 169 km/h exit velocity
he hit a massive home run.
And that's why he's a player the major leagues are watching
the sophomore, KIM JI WOO.
That guy's up.
Look at that body.
Isn't his stuff nasty?
Nasty?
Seeing him throw from third to first.
Can you throw like that after playing for three hours?
- Wow... - 148 km/h on a warm-up pitch.
A warm-up pitch?
Wow, that's coming out.
What is he, really?
He just threw it easily and it was 148 km/h.
- It wasn't even a full throw. - He really threw that easily.
It wasn't a full throw and it was 148 km/h.
If he throws it down the middle
the batters can not hit.
151 km/h on a warm-up pitch.
Wow!
Is this for real?
- Amazing. - Unbelievable.
Wow...
151 km/h on a warm-up pitch.
What is that kid?
Wow...
151 km/h again.
For real...
No, I mean...
- I've never seen commentator KIM SUN WOO this excited during "Burn to win." - No, no, wait a minute.
There's really a kid who can throw like this?
What are these guys?
These guys are seriously nasty.
Please, just don't have a good breaking ball.
Damn.
My confidence just plummeted.
If he throws that with a slider...
KIM JUNG WOO, center.
But of course, in game is different.
- Yes, of course. - Right.
And now, our genius is up.
We have to end it here.
End it.
Please, for real.
Let's just end this quickly and go. I'm hungry.
Please get rattled.
He's a sophomore, still young, only 18.
You're so optimistic.
JI WOO, stop them. Please, let's stop them.
JI WOO, please.
On the mound...
is KIM JI WOO, who wants to be the last man standing for his team.
And at the plate is JEONG SEONG HOON.
One hit here and today's game is over.
Don't worry about overseas stocks.
Ask!
Ask Kakao Pay Securities.
It automatically gathers for you
connects the information
and tells you properly.
[For overseas stocks, ask Kakao Pay Securities.
Kakao Pay Securities
On the mound...
is KIM JI WOO, who wants to be the last man standing for his team.
And at the plate is JEONG SEONG HOON.
- JEONG SEONG HOON! - JEONG SEONG HOON!
One hit here
and today's game is over.
Here's the first pitch.
It's a 150 km/h fastball.
- Ball! Damn... - Okay.
- Wow... - Ball.
- 150 km/h. - What's with the 150 km/h?
His pitches seem to have good life on them too.
Hey, man!
He's not calling that a strike?
Here's the first pitch, a 150 km/h fastball.
The way he throws is different.
Please god...
Throw some balls.
- But I don't think he will. His control is good. - But he was really born to play baseball.
Deep inside.
He got hit.
He didn't get hit?
Did he get hit?
Relax.
I thought I got hit.
- He's nervous. - He's nervous.
He's nervous. He's 18 years old.
He's young, he's nervous.
But there's one thing.
This is a crisis situation, so he came in suddenly from third
and didn't have time to prepare on the mound. That's all.
- Right, yes, yes. - That's his only weakness.
He didn't prepare ahead of time at the start of the inning.
Everything else is perfect, but that one thing is a big flaw.
We have to exploit that.
Settle down.
Please, let's end it in the bottom of the 9th.
Let's go, please!
Right in front! Tell the outfield to come in.
They all have to come in.
- It's a one-run game. In front! - They all have to come in!
Right field in.
Center in.
Let's go!
Let's end it.
The count is two balls.
Let's go, KIM JI WOO.
It's off the end of the bat.
No!
Double play!
That's it!
The second baseman scoops it up
to the shortstop, and on to first.
And that's three outs.
Okay!
A 4-6-3 double play.
KIM JI WOO was KIM JI WOO.
And so, in regulation, the Fighters and Seoul High
can't decide a winner.
We're going to extra innings.
- This is incredible. - Oh my god.
Isn't his pitching form and everything insane?
Is he the best?
Kind of... wow.
No, even when he was running backwards earlier, his body and everything was unreal.
- From what I see... - He's like a cat.
I think his muscle quality is different.
That's amazing. So a kid like that exists.
Aigo.
He's a good pitcher, though.
- Hey. - Huddle up.
It's a tiebreaker now.
- If a bunt comes, you have to execute it exactly as the sign says, okay? - Yes.
We're really going to win. It's time to win.
Let me explain the game regulations for Burn to win.
If the game is tied after 9 innings
a tiebreaker will be implemented from the 10th inning until a winner is decided.
Runner on first and second with no outs.
The batting order continues from the previous inning
and the runners are the players who preceded them in the lineup.
This is the number one game regulation for Burn to win.
Do we play until it's over?
- It has to end, until there's a winner. - Until it's over? I understand.
The first base position...
We'll have to see which player will take it now.
We'll also have to see if KIM MIN BEOM will stay at first base.
- Who will play first? - Go to first.
- MIN BEOM at first. - Should I go?
MIN BEOM, go to first.
- Use my glove. - Yes.
- Two, right? - Yes.
If you miss it with that, you're not baseball player.
Two, over there.
It's a tiebreaker...
Have you played first base before?
- I played it once in high school. - Huh?
- I played it in high school. - In elementary school?
- That's right, KIM MIN BEOM. - That's right.
He's played first base
but catching the ball...
he said was a bit scary.
- But this is one of the big variables. - Of course.
Then the other infielders, second, third, and shortstop
will have to be more careful with their throws.
That's true.
- Being too careful could actually lead to a worse outcome. - That's right.
That's what's scary. Baseball is so interesting.
Playing first base is no joke.
This is a big variable.
Is it a 50% or 100% pickoff?
- A 50% or 100% pickoff? - A 50% or 100% pickoff.
If he touches X, it's a pickoff.
How do I move?
- You always come in, since it's first base. - Always?
- Because he might try a slash bunt. - But these guys do slash bunts.
JAE YOUNG!
- Can you field a ball in front of me? - Okay.
- If possible, I'd like to... - Okay.
- JAE YOUNG, if it's 50%, you have to do it. - Yes.
What should I do?
Okay, SHIN JAE YOUNG will continue to pitch from the mound
and we'll start with JO SEUNG JUN's at-bat.
Okay.
Please.
If I just give up one run, we win.
Just one run and we win.
The sign has been given.
The sign is out.
This is fun.
MIN BEOM, take another step out.
MIN BEOM, you can go further in.
Further in, closer.
MIN BEOM has to do this well... this is the key.
- Okay, for now... right. - Okay, so he'll bunt first, right?
Come in more.
You have to watch for the slash.
He bunts the first pitch.
- That was a great bunt. - JAE YOUNG, get it.
He laid down a bunt.
Catch it.
The pitcher fields it and throws to first.
He's safe.
Hey.
The pitcher fields it and throws to first.
At first base
he makes the catch.
So close.
That's it.
Why did you catch it with your glove?
Damn...
I almost dropped it.
This is...
The pitcher and catcher had a miscommunication.
Yes, a miscommunication. They both deferred to each other.
PARK JAE WOOK thought the ball was further than it was.
SHIN JAE YOUNG was also in a hurry.
That could have been a disaster.
It almost became a throwing error.
I thought it was the catcher's ball.
- I thought the catcher was going to get it. - Good job.
JAE YOUNG.
I can't do it...
There can be absolutely no mistakes now.
And now, KIM JI WOO and KIM JUNG WOO are on third and second.
SUN BIN!
If you choke up and your body is floating, you can't hit it now.
Left hand in...
You have to hit it that way. You have to hit it the other way.
You have to hit it the other way, no matter what!
Manager, should we play in or back?
- Back. - Back.
The idea is to get an out, even if it means giving up a run.
- The infield is playing back. - Yes.
Okay.
Even on a grounder to the pitcher, you go home, okay?
- Can you give me a call when I should start? - Yeah.
Go home and get out.
SUN BIN, if you get a hit here, you're a hero.
It's SUN BIN's chance.
Please, JAE YOUNG.
Please...
JAE YOUNG, let's do it. Let's hold them.
He swings at the first pitch.
In front!
- GYO WON has a good arm. - He can throw him out.
- Retouch! - Do it!
You can do it!
He has to make a play.
It's popped up high.
Let's see MUN GYO WON's arm.
Tag up!
A play at the plate!
Run!
He got him!
MUN GYO WON!
But he touches home plate first.
And that's one run.
Good.
Aigo.
Good catch.
He was fast, right?
He was fast, I tell you.
He was really fast...
I saw it...
Good job, JI WOO.
Nice running.
For now, Seoul High has taken the lead.
The first loss against a high school team!
Have they never lost before?
- Never? - Never.
Okay, let's get thier first loss.
- I think they're 9-0. - Yeah, he said they've never lost.
Let's give them their first loss.
First loss!
Now, BU JE WON steps up to the plate.
If they get an out here with two outs
from Flame Fighters' perspective
it's more than half a success.
But if they give up two runs, it could be very burdensome.
If we can just get one more run, we've got this.
One more score.
We just have to hold them here.
Please hold them here.
If it's just one score, that's a really good job of holding them.
First pitch is an outside strike.
Okay.
- Nice pitch. - Nice pitch.
JE WON, please.
You said you wanted to hit one.
Let's go!
Alright.
He holds back his swing.
- Okay. - Okay, good eye.
Good eye!
- That's it, ah... - Nice pitch.
We have to stop them here.
But what's worrying is that
even a short hit can bring in a run.
That's what's worrying.
It's a ball outside.
- Okay. - Okay, good eye.
Let's get a walk.
- Can't we get a walk and have runners on first and third? - I think he's going to get a hit.
So, you see the angle, right?
You felt it?
I felt a hit coming.
He probably felt it too, JE WON.
This is the perfect situation for a hit.
Relax and hit it.
Take it easy.
It's in there, on the outside.
He can go with the same spot again, right?
- He has to go with the same spot. - Yes, of course.
We just need to hold them to one run.
SHIN JAE YOUNG has to do that.
- Strikeout! - Strikeout!
That's insane.
JE WON, overcome this.
Get a hit.
He puts his heart into one pitch.
Swing and a miss, strikeout!
That's it!
What is he going to do, really...
SHIN JAE YOUNG
in a tiebreaker situation with runners on first and second with no outs
held them to just one run.
Giving up only one run, SHIN JAE YOUNG
sends the game to the bottom of the 10th.
That was a great job of holding them.
Good job!
Good job, JAE YOUNG.
- SANG WOO, you have to get a hit. - Yes!
- JAE YOUNG, nice. - Damn...
Good job.
Just two runs...
- He didn't get any momentum. - So close.
Let's get two runs.
It's okay, one run.
It's okay.
- We have to end it here. - We really have to end it.
If we lose this, they'll say it's because I got called up to the first team.
- Right. - We have to win.
Man, I'm tired.
- If we lose today, there will be no more three-person commentaries. - Exactly.
We did something we don't usually do, and it didn't work out.
- That's right. - That kid pitches so well.
KIM JI WOO is on the mound.
The tension is palpable.
Huddle up!
Everyone be quiet, I have something to say.
Be quiet.
- Look. - The outfield, the outfield, second and third...
- I said be quiet. - Be quiet.
Look, it's LEE TAEK KEUN.
He's good at bunting and executing plays, so if he tries a surprise bunt...
If he's showing bunt, watch for him to pull back...
If he's pulling back, watch for the surprise bunt.
- Let's go, fighting! - Hey, JI YOON.
Hey, JI YOON. I said It.
You shouldn't listen, sir.
- Give us a "fighting." - Give us a "fighting."
If you just say, "One, two, three..."
- One, two, three. - Fighting!
We won!
With JUNG EUI YOON on second
and JEONG SEONG HOON on first, the tiebreaker continues.
The problem is that neither of the two runners is particularly fast.
So, if they go with a bunt play, they need to lay down a perfect bunt.
Because it could be a force out.
Then the batter is this man, LEE TAEK KEUN.
- Will he bunt? - Of course he will.
But right now...
TEAK KEUN just met with the third base coach.
You're right.
They just had a secret meeting between third and home.
They're planning something.
I'm really curious.
- It's just a bunt, right? - Yeah.
Why?
I was just curious.
If we stand like this, they'll think we're giving a sign...
LEE TAEK KEUN... do a 50%.
I think they're trying to get a double play.
They're not doing a 100%, they're doing a 50%.
- What's the play? He's going to bunt. - He's bunting.
But it's 150 km/h...
I know, that's a bit of a burden.
It's going to be hard to bunt.
What will be the outcome of this extra inning, the bottom of the 10th?
Let's go!
Please.
He pulls the bat back, it's a ball.
- Okay! - I think it's possible.
- Two runs? Please. - Yes.
Was that a ball?
Various plays could happen in this situation.
Let's go!
Watch SUN BIN pull back.
He keeps showing bunt.
The bunt has to be perfect.
It has to go towards third base.
Watch the hit, watch the hit!
He's pulling back.
- What will be the result? - Please.
Hang in there, KIM JI WOO.
- He got it down! - He got it down.
Oh? That was a good bunt.
That was a good bunt.
He's running!
What to do!
The pitcher fields it and throws to first.
He's out at first.
- TEAK KEUN. - Now it's one out, runners on third and first.
- LEE TAEK KEUN! - LEE TAEK KEUN!
Okay!
What a great bunt.
LEE TAEK KEUN is a really good baseball player.
That was truly a perfect bunt.
- Look at that bunt. - That's incredible.
He pulled an outside pitch.
He completely deadened the ball.
- Nice bunt. - Nice bunt!
Nice bunt.
He should have gone for it.
It's PARK JAE WOOK.
As soon as he stepped up, his .300 batting average dropped.
At the very least, he needs a fly ball to the outfield.
He has to make solid contact.
- All together. - A hit for PARK JAE WOOK!
- A hit for PARK JAE WOOK!
Get ready, outfield!
Outfield!
A single to home!
The opposing outfielders are playing shallow.
He's definitely swinging at the first pitch.
The first pitch was high.
- Okay. - Okay!
Okay.
Please, JAE WOOK, just this once.
Please!
Take a pitch or two.
Don't throw a breaking ball.
Full power.
Watch out for a line drive. A ground ball to the infield will also score the run.
- Definitely? - Yeah.
JUNG EUI YOON on third.
JEONG SEONG HOON on second.
JAE WOOK hits fastballs well.
Please, just get one run first.
Please.
- He pulled it! - That's it!
Fair.
No!
The third baseman.
Home!
He caught it.
He's in a rundown.
Go!
- He has to draw it out more. - He's drawing it out, he's leading him on.
- Go to second. - Go! Why aren't you going!
You have to go too.
Go quickly, JAE WOOK, what are you doing!
- He's leading him on, and here... - He's leading him on.
He's out.
Please!
Okay.
- Okay! - Please!
- Damn it!
Damn it...
He should have gone to second...
You have to go.
You have to go quickly, JAE WOOK.
This is a crisis for the Fighters.
Two outs, one more!
One!
Nice play by the fielders.
The problem now is...
- If it's not a hit, we can't win this game. - If there's no hit, we lose.
But it's Lim-star.
This is...
Wait a minute.
JI WOO!
- I think we can do it. - We're going to win this!
We're almost there!
Let's go, if we stop them, it's over!
Please.
And this at-bat goes to LIM SANG WOO.
Lim-star has to be the hero.
Please...
Do it, SANG WOO.
- SANG WOO, show them what Lim-star is all about. - Let's go, SANG WOO.
Lim-star, with a multi-hit game today.
This could be the final at-bat of the game.
Please, SANG WOO.
He's swinging at the first pitch.
He's swinging at the first-pitch fastball.
The Fighters still haven't scored a single run.
One out remaining.
Watch!
Foul on the first pitch.
Good swing.
He's got power.
Fastball.
Won't it be a bit of a burden to throw a fastball?
Because he swung at the first-pitch fastball.
JI WOO.
Full power!
Last one, nice pitch.
KIM JI WOO, throw harder!
If SANG WOO gets a hit here, we should just give him the MVP, right?
Please, SANG WOO.
- The second pitch is another fastball, he's jammed. - He's jammed again.
This one was 150 km/h.
- Please. - Please, we're going to win this!
A 150 km/h fastball.
Now the count is two strikes.
We haven't seen what his breaking ball is like yet.
But what's expected here is that if he throws a high fastball
can LIM SANG WOO hold back? That's the question.
I'm sweating.
What...
A pinch hitter? With two strikes?
Manager.
We should switch out the runner at first for DONG WOO
and try to tie the game quickly.
It's two strikes right now.
I think it's better to call a timeout now and make the switch.
Time!
- Time! - Time!
DONG WOO, go out.
Get a big lead and watch the coach's sign.
- If there's a bounced ball or something, you have to go to second. - I understand.
You know what I mean, right?
Go, DONG WOO.
It's a pinch runner.
He's using KANG DONG WOO as a pinch runner.
- A... a pinch runner. - A pinch runner.
The runner's changed!
He's running, throw.
- He's not holding him on, right? - Yeah, I'll watch your back.
- Enough to be safe on a grounder to second. - Okay.
DONG WOO, get a big lead.
Will today be their first loss since their founding
or will they continue their undefeated streak?
It all depends on Lim-star.
What?
Go!
Back!
He's out at third!
And just like that, the game ends in an anticlimactic way.
He got picked off.
Oh my god.
- I never imagined a pickoff at third. - For real.
Damn it...
What are you doing!
What?
He was picked off and got out.
What are you doing?
We won!
Final Score is 3:2.
A victory for Seoul High School
Flame Fighters taste
their first defeat since their founding.
We won, wow.
Wow, we won this.
Let's go out in front.
Damn it.
What are you doing?
Good work.
- Good work. - You did well.
- Good job. - Good work.
- You did well, DAE HO.
- Nice game. - Good work.
Okay.
- Good work. - All you did well.
You're good. Good job.
Good job.
Good work. At third base...
Good work.
That's the first time in my baseball career I've been picked off at third.
You did well.
- Seoul High! - Fighters!
- Fighting! - Fighting!
Good job.
Line up and bow.
The Fighters, who were on a 12-game winning streak
suffer their first loss of the season.
Do we still do interviews even if we lose?
I don't know.
You're not going?
We don't have a closing, right?
Fireworks...
There are fireworks.
Hey, guys.
Come get your phones.
- Phones! - Yes!
Phones!
Where?
- Phones are here. - Nice, I'm first.
- Mine's on top. - Where is it?
- Hey, don't push. - Don't push.
It's better to just watch than to film it.
Aren't we watching it with the players?
Can't we watch it with them?
The fireworks are so nice.
Make a V-sign.
Who's that? TEAK KEUN's daughter?
Where did you get those glasses?
Joo-a gave them to me.
V-sign.
Okay, let's settle down, everyone.
Come this way.
We can see the moon over there too.
The full moon is pretty.
- Is everyone ready to start? - Yes!
- Five, four, three, two, one. - Five, four, three, two, one.
Let's go, fireworks!
This is so romantic.
Does this stadium always have fireworks?
- Did Flame Fighters lose? - Yes...
It feels different watching them when you win versus when you lose.
The fireworks are sad.
It reminds me of Sajik stadium.
I know.
- But they're still pretty. - Huh?
They're still pretty.
I wish I could just watch fireworks for about two hours.
It's pretty.
- Huh? - It's pretty.
But it's a shame we lost.
Yeah, it can't be helped.
The Daejeon game is important.
The next game.
We have to win next week.
Is it hard to win in "Burn to win"?
It's hard.
Wow.
Amazing.
Good work, everyone.
Can they really pull off a play like that at the end?
That's a standard play.
Really?
I've never seen anything like that before.
The coach called the play.
- I asked him. - No, that's...
- He said he was going to throw to third and then to first. - The third baseman catches the throw to third and gets the runner going to second.
- So he wasn't trying to get him out at third? - No, he was trying to get him at second.
- But we got caught in it? - That's why I told him to run quickly.
Even if he had caught it and thrown, we would have been safe.
So that's why you told him to run quickly.
But SEONG HOON got caught here.
- SEONG HOON didn't see... - So he just went for it.
SEONG HOON didn't even leave the base.
We got completely fooled.
I wasn't looking at the pitcher at all.
DONG WOO...
I never imagined he'd throw to my base.
I'm so bad at baseball.
I should quit.
Let's get it together.
Why do I feel so bad after losing once after winning twelve times?
- All you did well. We're 12-1. - Hey, we're 12-1.
Don't let the mood drop!
You think getting 12 wins is easy?
It's okay. We can lose five in a row.
Don't get down. It's okay.
What can we do, it's over.
You did well, JAE WOOK. We won more games because of you.
But you should have gone to second right away.
What were you doing just standing there?
The pitchers threw well today.
- The pitchers were very well today. - The pitchers threw well.
I'm sorry, JAE YOUNG, DEA EUN, HEE KWAN.
- It's okay. - They really pitched their hearts out.
They gave it their all.
But their kids pitched better.
Their stuff was filthy.
Okay, good work.
It was bound to happen eventually.
It's a shame, but we all worked hard.
The next game after a loss is the most important.
In Daejeon.
It's the opening game of Fighters Park.
I hope we all prepare well and I'll see you at the next game.
Good work.
- Fighting. - Good work.
Let's start another winning streak.
- Prepare well. - We all did well.
Prepare well.
Missing one opportunity hurts immensely.
There were so many moments where we could have won and moved on.
That means we
were complacent with our 12 wins.
If we end it here, there's no future, nothing ahead.
This is the world we have to live in this pain.
You have to hold on to that agony from that time.
You have to take this agony and use it to forge a path to the future.
The people here are gathered to win.
A new page in "Burn to win" history begins at our new home, Fighters Park.
It's our home stadium.
The look in the Fighters' eyes has changed.
- He hits! - Okay.
The bases are loaded.
Let's go, SEONG HOON!
Come on!
You have to show them here.
- That's it. - He hit it the other way to the right.
It drops inside the line.
Quickly!
Go around!
Go around and run home, you!
SHIN JAE YOUNG's determination to stop the losing streak is staining his pants red.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
JAE YOUNG, your pitches were good just now.
105 km/h.
Now at the plate is KANG DONG WOO.
Damn, KANG DONG WOO is scary.
He's desperate.
- Let's go! - He swings at the first pitch.
JEONG KEUN WOO gets it! JEONG KEUN WOO!
JEONG KEUN WOO!
Great defense.
How did he catch that?
We need a big hit here.
- This ball to the right field wall! - It's gone!
It's gone! Go!
It's over!
The first home run at the opening of Fighters Park
is hit by Captain PARK YONG TAIK!
