INHA UNIVERSITY 1ST MATCH
2 STRAIGHT LOSSES

I NEVER THOUGHT
WE'D HAVE A LOSING STREAK

I THINK WE LET OUR GUARD DOWN

JEEZ!

I'M VERY UPSET
BECAUSE WE LOST AGAIN TODAY

I CAN'T TOLERATE
A LOSING STREAK ANYMORE

IF WE START LOSING ONE OR TWO GAMES,

NOBODY CAN BE SURE
OF A .700 WINNING RATE

WE HAVE TO PLAY A WINNING GAME

INHA UNIVERSITY 2ND MATCH

A GLOOMY WEATHER
FOR THE DAY OF THE BATTLE

THE MONSTERS GO TO WORK
WITH A SOLEMN LOOK

Hello.

I thought they were easy.
I let my guard down.

HE AGREES

If we lose today, that's five losses.

U-18 National Team. Six losses.

We have to win the rest.

-After six losses.
-No, it's dangerous.

We can win the rest of the games
after six losses.

That'll make us too anxious.

Seung-jun, the pitchers
have to do well today.

-Yes.
-Okay.

Hee-kwan is…

HEE-KWAN'S SEAT

What will we do about Hee-kwan? Seriously.

I feel really bad about Hee-kwan.

It feels ominous.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

We're missing one.

-Hee-kwan.
-Hee-kwan.

We had two straight losses
after yesterday's game.

So far we had 17 games,
with 13 wins and 4 losses.

Currently, the winning percentage is .765.

If we lose today, it'll be .722.

Then we'll be faced
with a difficult situation

when we have the 20th game.

So please get a hold of yourselves.

We have another concern.

Yoo Hee-kwan…

MANAGER LEE IS ABOUT TO CRY

He has enteritis.

STARTING PITCHER HAS ENTERITIS

He has enteritis,

so I think today's game will be tough.

I want everyone here
to become one and play the game.

Hee-kwan is in a hospital getting an IV.

He said he'd be back
before the game starts.

-That's all.
-Okay.

I'll announce the starting lineup.

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo.
Batter two Kim Moon-h*.

Batter three Jeong Seong-hoon.
Batter four Jung Eui-yoon.

Batter five Lee Taek-keun.
Batter six Lee Hong-ku.

Batter seven Ryu Hyun-in,
eight Yoon Jun-h*, nine Choi Soo-hyun.

Starting pitcher is Yoo Hee-kwan
who is in the hospital.

SIGHING…

YOO HEE-KWAN

Yesterday's game is over.

A new game is waiting for us,
so let's do our best today.

There's one thing I want to say today.

"Why do I play like this?"

I thought about it

and realized that we lost the excitement,

nervousness, and fun that we had

when we started to play baseball again
on A Clean Sweep.

If we lose a few more games,

we may not get to play baseball again.

So please think about these things

and don't forget where we started.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET WHERE WE STARTED

-What time is it now?
-It's 11 o'clock.

Is it? We should head out.

-Yes, sir.
-Let's go.

Ready.

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

Does Hee-kwan have enteritis?

Yes. He went to get an IV.

That's why he's not here.

-He has to come soon.
-Is he not here yet?

SURPRISED

We have two hours left.

GETTING NERVOUS…

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

Are you okay?

MOANING…

Did you get an IV in the hospital?

NODDING

TRUDGING

-Are you okay, Hee-kwan?
-Are you okay?

Yes.

You look drawn.

It's the gimbap I had yesterday.

Is it?

IN THE LOCKER ROOM
AFTER LOSING TO INHA UNIVERSITY

Is it our first losing streak?

MUNCHING

HEE-KWAN COMFORTED
THE PAIN OF LOSING WITH GIMBAP…

I woke up every 30 minutes last night
to go to the bathroom.

I think I went 20 times.

Did you get an IV?

Yes, I got an IV and a nutritional shot.

You really aren't well.

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

Tell me if you can't play.

Okay.

Don't try to bear all the weight.

We need to help each other
when things are bad.

I think I need to play.

I was like that when I played in KBO.

I tried to play
unless something was broken,

I need to get my energy up

and play the game as a starting pitcher.

TIME LEFT UNTIL THE GAME

They had their first losing streak.

The Monsters are desperate
to maintain their winning percentage.

It's their second match
with Inha University.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I haven't seen you here for a while.

I heard you had great ratings without me.

What are you talking about?

You said I should be sent to the dugout.

I heard you and Song Jae-u asserted
that you two should keep going.

-Is that right?
-There are so many wild rumors.

I see.

We started cheerfully
to change the atmosphere.

But since A Clean Sweep started,
CK Monsters had their first losing streak.

Pitcher Kim Sun-woo started the game

-by losing points in the beginning.
-Yes.

Wasn't it very upsetting to lose points?

Usually, CK Monsters score
seven or eight points per game.

So I thought two points
in the beginning were okay.

But looking at Inha players,
I realized that two points were very big.

I heard they thought
we were an easy target.

That really upset me.

They probably felt that we weren't easy.

We'll surely win today's game too.

If we have three straight losses,
our winning percentage will go below .700.

We have to stop that from happening.

We will end our losses here.

Losing to amateurs twice

hurts our pride
regardless of the fate of the show.

So we need to win no matter what.

Batter one, please say a word.

It's a real w*r from today.

We'll win by all means.

-Let's do our best.
-Okay.

-Get ready for combat.
-First score.

Let's go!

-CK Monsters!
-CK Monsters!

LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!

Yesterday,
they might have had their guard down.

So today, you need to focus
more than yesterday.

If third base is formed, they'll go

for a surprise bunt or a squeeze.

-Always be prepared, okay?
-Yes, sir.

Play a great game today as usual.

-Yes, sir!
-Okay.

Attention!

Inha!

SHOUTING

-Let's go!
-Yes!

Let's go!

-Inha!
-Go!

LET'S GO, INHA UNIVERSITY!

I hear someone special will throw
the first ball to open the game.

Jang Ye-eun is getting ready to pitch.

We have the same family name.

LAUGHING

"Watch the baby tiger's fiery throw."

That's what she said.

She prepared today's pitch
with Seo Dong-wook.

Let's listen to what she has to say.

Hello, I'm Jang Ye-eun.

It's an honor to throw the first ball
to open the game for A Clean Sweep.

Inha University and CK Monster,

I hope you play without getting injured.

Good luck!

She said a very cheerful hello.

-She's on the pitcher's mound.
-She'll throw from a distance.

Usually, it's not easy

for ladies to throw
from a pitcher's mound.

The ball won't reach the catcher.

-No.
-It's too far.

-Will it go all the way?
-It'll be cool if it does.

It'll be awesome if it does.

Let's see.

SHE DID IT!

WHAT WAS THAT?

What?

SHOCKED

THEY'RE ASTONISHED TOO

She did it at once.

It's possible.

Let's see.

She threw from the pitcher's mound
and the ball reached the mitt.

She should be proud of her pitch.

Seo Dong-wook is an amazing tutor.

Soo-chang can't throw strikes like that.

But she did it at once.

Why did you bring Soo-chang up?

-She's better than Soo-chang.
-Nice pitching.

She's better than Soo-chang.

NICE PITCHING

Thank you.

TEACHER!

-Great job.
-Thank you.

Just throw.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO THROW AT FIRST

Stretch your arm.

Okay.

SHE PRACTICED FOR A MONTH
FOR GREAT PITCHING

HER HARD WORK PAID OFF
ON THE PITCHER'S MOUND

THANK YOU JANG YE-EUN
FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PITCHING

It's time for the real players
to be on the field.

Choi Jun-su is on the pitcher's mound.

The batters of CK Monsters need to focus.

Because if they don't win at least one

of the three following games
including this one, they'll let go

of someone before the 20th game.

That's why they must win today's game.

-That's right.
-Yes.

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

It doesn't matter who is pitching,
I'll destroy him.

-Let's go!
-Come on.

Let's start in the first inning!

Come on. First batter, let's start!

The first inning is important.

-Don't lose it.
-Hey, come on!

The ball falls outside and far.

A GREAT TERRIBLE THROW

He's feeling nervous.

Jun-su, don't get excited.

Out count. Go slowly.

Second pitch. Outside.

Another ball.

Keun-woo has a good eye today.

Yes. It's an outside ball. Come on!

Don't aim for the corners.

No corners.

Let's go.

THE GAME'S MOMENTUM
DEPENDS ON THIS BALL

The ball comes in deep
close to the batter.

Four straight ba*ls.

NICE WALK

Focus.

JUN-SU LETS BATTER ONE GET ON BASE

Jeong Keun-woo,
the first batter of the day,

gets on base successfully.

Manager Lee changed today's batter two.

Kim Moon-h* is the second batter.

Moon-h*.

Moon-h*, you're good.

He's ready for this game.

Yesterday he had two hits
in three at-bats.

THE CATCHER'S MISTAKE!

-Go.
-The catcher missed the ball.

Keun-woo can get to second base.

KEUN-WOO GOES TO 2ND BASE

-Yes!
-Nice!

Yes, this is it.

-Nice.
-Okay.

-No.
-He's nothing compared to Jun-h*.

Don't say that.

EMBARRASSED…

Are you playing defense today?

Missing the first pitch means

that the catcher is on edge.

If the catcher is tense
from the beginning,

the fielders can be shaky overall.

After a fastball,
a runner is on second base.

NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE.

Push it.

LET'S OVERPOWER THEM, MOON-h*!

Moon-h*, let's go.

Moon-h* had two hits yesterday.

It could've been three.

The good hit went straight to the center.

He's batting really nicely.

I have high hopes today.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 INHA UNIVERSITY

-Go, Moon-h*.
-Okay.

He hits. It's a sharp one to the right.

IT GOES TOWARD RIGHT FIELDER

PLEASE, A HIT

In front!

INDECISIVE

It falls in front of the right fielder.

-Okay!
-Go in!

Okay.

Second base runner runs all the way home.

Go.

Before the ball reaches home plate,
he slides in.

CK Monsters score after only two batters.

THE FIRST POINT MEANS VICTORY

-Moon-h*!
-He's good today.

The Monsters score the first point today.

See? You can be the second batter.

-Nice judgment.
-Okay. Nice one.

-Nice.
-Good job.

-Let's go.
-Nice one.

We'll shatter them in the beginning.

You have the best batting sense.

-This is it.
-Of course.

Let's get you a star today.
You will get it.

It's a good start. CK Monsters
and Kim Moon-h* are determined

to stop the losing streak.

Starter Choi Jun-su
isn't able to get an out.

Today, batter three is Jeong Seong-hoon,
not Park Yong-taek.

Jun-su, don't fill the bases.

Start with the first pitch.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 INHA UNIVERSITY

A low pitch is a ball,

so Seong-hoon has to hit
as high as possible.

HE HITS!

It's high. To the left.

-He got it.
-Okay.

Jeez.

-In front!
-In front!

The ball goes left.
Left fielder spots the ball.

He catches it.

1 OUT

Starter Choi Jun-su
finally gets the first out.

The first two batters were difficult.

He just needs to take batters out
one at a time like that.

Batter four Jung Eui-yoon
will be at bat next.

IT'S TIME FOR THE 4TH BATTER

Let's go, Eui-yoon!

It's time for Eui-yoon's hit.

-I think he'll hit big.
-Let's go.

Go back.

DEFENSE SHIFT

Chan-hui, watch out for long hits.

INHA'S MANAGER MOVES
THE OUTFIELDERS BACK

Eui-yoon said

he was a little too stiff yesterday.

IT'S UP!

He hits the first pitch.

It skips off the bat and goes up high.

He can't catch it.

Good!

Yesterday,

Eui-yoon was stiff,
so he couldn't swing well.

Today, he needs to make compact

and short swings to make the runners move.

Jun-su, think about the runner too.

Be confident, Jun-su.

Go!

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball
between first and second bases.

Go.

Keep going!

GO TO 3RD BASE

First base runner

-goes all the way to third base.
-Let's go!

-Advanced baseball.
-Batter four Jung Eui-yoon

-had one hit in one at bat.
-Do this.

WELL DONE

-Nice hit!
-Let's go!

-Short batter.
-Short batter, nice.

Good job, short batter.

He can make
short hits like this. No pressure.

Nobody expects him to hit a home run.

WHO EXPECTS HIM TO HIT A HOME RUN?

Am I wrong? Nobody does.

He doesn't have to hit home runs.

Making short hits and getting on base

make him a great fourth batter.

Cheong-yong, double.

1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD BASES

Batter five Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

TAEK-KEUN V IS AT BAT
WITH A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION

Taek-keun, you can hit good ba*ls.

Bat with confidence.

WITH ONE FLY BALL, THEY CAN SCORE

-Hey.
-It's a ball.

TAEK-KEUN HELD BACK

Taek-keun V.

The second one was close to the batter.
It's two ba*ls.

It's okay to let them score a point.

Get an out count.

A low ball.

3 ba*ls

IT'S BETTER TO HIT THAN FOUR ba*ls…

Throw a fastball.

He's trying to face Hong-ku.

Hong-ku, a grand slam!

Hit a home run!

THE NEXT BATTER WILL HIT A HOME RUN!

The batters of the Monsters
have great focus.

Of course.

TO HOLD BACK OR TO SWING

He holds back on the outside
low ball. Four ba*ls.

THE BASES ARE LOADED

Good.

This is it. We need to crush them
in the beginning.

The batter is awarded a walk.

The Monsters have taken over
third, second, and first bases.

Timeout.

Manager Jung can't help but be frustrated.

Two sets of four ba*ls and two short hits.

It's one out. Bases are loaded.
They lost a point.

Don't strain yourself. Relax.

We need a double play.

-Play well for the second match.
-Yes, sir.

Rather than trying to throw it hard,
be precise.

Be confident.

-Good luck.
-Okay.

-You can make it up.
-I will.

Let's make it up.

IT'S TIME FOR A TROUBLESHOOTER
TO SHOW UP

Nearby.

Hong-ku.

We need to score here.

If we don't, they'll gain momentum.

Look up high. Don't look down.

Don't hit a ground ball.

Look up high. You have to look up.

He misses the first pitch.

-Strike?
-Yes.

Before two strikes,

Hong-ku has to do his thing 100%.

With a fly ball, they can score.

HEY, COME ON, HONG-KU!

Lightly.

PERFECT CHANCE TO STOP
THE LOSING STREAK

HE HITS!

He hits.

It's a sharp hit to the left.

RUN FAST

Run.

Run! Go fast!

EUI-YOON RUNS TOWARD HOME PLATE

Faster!

-Home!
-What are you doing?

Third base runner reaches home.

-Nice.
-Second base runner goes

-all the way to the home plate too.
-Good.

MONSTERS 3 : 0 INHA UNIVERSITY

-Lee Hong-ku's two RBIs.
-Yes.

CK Monsters made a big inning
from the start.

That's it.

-Hong-ku is at his peak.
-Great.

Very good.

They're starting
with a score of three to zero.

It's completely different
from yesterday's game.

He didn't miss the ball
that came in a little high.

He made a good swing.

A double falls inside the line.
Third and second base runners came in.

Lee Hong-ku made two RBIs.

-Good swing.
-Hong-ku.

Good job.

-Good swing. Nice run.
-Well done.

TRIUMPHANT

If Hee-kwan's sphincter holds up,

we'll win no matter what.

(GAZING)

LAUGHING

Why do you look at me
like you don't trust me?

WHY THE DISTRUSTFUL LOOK?

-You know.
-What?

It almost got caught. It was too close.

DISTRUSTFUL

Show me that it's a hit
as soon as you hit the ball.

I showed you yesterday.

IT'S UNFAIR

I'll show you again.

Pitcher substitution, please.

-Here.
-Okay.

-Well done.
-Yes, sir.

-Let's play better next time.
-Yes, sir.

IN THE END INHA'S MANAGER
SUBSTITUTES CHOI JUN-SU

-Throw this.
-Yes, sir.

It's only the first inning.
We can catch up.

They substituted the pitcher.

Im Ju-bin is on the mound.

On April 15, when they had a game
against Gangneung Yeongdong University,

Im Ju-bin lost no points

and threw 12 strikeouts for 7 innings.

-I can tell that he throws really well.
-Yes.

Also, he has great control
of breaking ba*ls.

SPEED 143KM/H

-He's good.
-He is.

His ball has power.

SOO-CHANG: HIS BALL HAS POWER

Give them what they deserve.

We haven't started yet.

It's okay to give them all. Relax.

The game resumes.

Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

If CK Monsters
want to play more comfortably,

runners on second and third bases
need to come in.

Right.

STRIKE

The first was a breaking ball.

-Strike.
-Look up.

HYUN-IN MISSED THE TIMING

NICE PITCHING

The first pitch was really great, Ju-bin.

Inha's pitchers
are good at throwing sliders.

GOOD SLIDERS!

He just threw a slider to get a strike.

You need to hit a college pitcher's ball.

He's a college student like you.

HE HITS!

He hits.

The second baseman
catches the ground ball.

The runner is taken out on first base.

But he helped

Lee Taek-keun on third base

-reach home plate.
-Okay.

Good.

THE MONSTERS KEEP SCORING

This is it.

No runners remaining on base.

The Monsters are scoring all they can.

-Yes.
-Yes.

-Okay.
-One more point.

Jun-h*.

Let's get five points. Called game.

Jun-h*, hit it.

Called game.

Batter eight Yoon Jun-h* is at bat.

He said he'd show his batting ability.

Let's watch his first at-bat.

Three ba*ls.

Another low one. It's four ba*ls.

-Okay.
-Okay!

NICE TO GET ON BASE

Two outs.
Runners on third and first bases.

Now, Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

Soo-hyun, you have to rip them.

-let's go!
-Rip them!

WE MUST SCORE NOW TO WIN

Runners on third and first bases.

The first one was out and low.
It's a strike.

-Strike!
-Now!

Let's stop them here.

We'll gain momentum if we stop them here.

STRIKE

It goes outside again.

He threw a fastball,
instead of a breaking ball.

Hit it!

What are you doing?

Soo-hyun got two strikes.

-Swing!
-The ball drops. He withdraws the bat.

He doesn't count it as a swing.

First base runner got on second base.

Yoon Jun-h* got on second base.

Good job on holding back.

The young ones are so reliable.

Two runners are in scoring position.

With a hit, the Monsters
can gain momentum for sure.

It goes through the strike zone.

Strikeout.

IM JU-BIN PREVENTED AN EXTRA RUN

NICE JU-BIN

Good job.

CK Monsters made a big inning.

They scored four points.

THE MONSTERS GOT A HEAD START

Without Yong-taek,
the batter lineup became alive.

Batter three is already dead.

No. You would've made it a double play.

The batters did well without you.

Hee-kwan is the problem.

When he isn't feeling well,
he plays the best game.

Is Hee-kwan okay?

THE BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 0 INHA UNIVERSITY

Today Yoo Hee-kwan
is the starting pitcher for CK Monsters.

Manager Lee looks worried.

Last night, Hee-kwan
suddenly had enteritis.

He went to the hospital
before the game today.

He had an IV shot.

I saw him briefly before the game.

He seemed really weak.

-Hee-kwan is having a very hard time.
-Yes.

The Monsters scored four points
in the first inning,

so Hee-kwan needs to throw
as long as he can.

That's right.

We used a lot of pitchers yesterday.

We lost two games straight.

We're in a bad situation.

But we can't lose three games straight.

So today,

I'll do my best even though I'm sick.

Let's defend the first inning.
Four points.

Let's go, Hee-kwan!

Let's go!

Yoo Hee-kwan is in his worst condition
since he was on A Clean Sweep.

Batter one Jung Hyeon-seung is at bat.

FOUL

He hit the first ball. It's a foul.

His fastball is at 116km/h.

It looks easy, doesn't it?

His sphincter loosened.

-Back!
-It hits the end.

-Go.
-It skips off the bat. Shortstop calls it.

He moves to catch it.

Ryu Hyun-in gets the first out.

-Okay.
-Nice.

One.

RELIABLE

HEE-KWAN GOT AN OUT

Good height.

The slider is really slow.

The ball doesn't come.

It really doesn't.

It's a fastball.

But it doesn't come.
It's my first time seeing it.

It's not easy to throw below 120km/h.

It's hard to have control
when it's that slow.

Today's fastballs are around 110km/h.

Batter two Kim Seo-won is at bat.

KIM SEO-WON HAS TO MAKE A HIT

Try hitting it.

HE HITS!

Okay! Fast!

A weak ground ball.

Shortstop runs to catch it.

The defense is perfect.

-Nice.
-That's shortstop Ryu Hyun-in.

-Okay.
-Good.

That defense was art.

NICE, HYUN-IN

The Monsters' fans can see
that he's getting better.

Yes.

He's at the peak of his ability,

and facing the draft.

His running throw was perfect.

HYUN-IN'S BEST RUNNING THROW

How does Hee-kwan end
the first inning so easily

when we struggle to finish it?

Don't say "we."

Of course, it's "we."

Don't say we.

We are different.

How does he end it so quickly?

It's two outs.

With five ba*ls, Hee-kwan made two outs.

Now it's batter three Kim Cheong-yong.

We need to pay attention to him.

When Kim Sun-woo pitched yesterday,

Kim Cheong-yong had two hits.

I tried to steal his timing
and strike him out.

But I couldn't.

His batting ability is really good.

Kim Cheong-yong
has a great batting ability.

Hee-kwan steels his timing
with a ball at 113km/h.

-Nice, Hee-kwan.
-This is no joke.

THE ART OF SLOWNESS

-Nice ball.
-Good!

Good job, Hee-kwan!

STRIKE

Very nice.

KIM CHEONG-YONG IS HELPLESS

His sphincter is back to normal.

I think yesterday's fast pitcher
damaged the batters.

What do you mean?

What damage?

Just take a look.
They can't hit Hee-kwan's ba*ls.

The timing is all off.

WILL HE BE ABLE
TO GET THE RIGHT TIMING?

STRIKE

Good.

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

THAT'S HEE-KWAN

How does he end it so easily?

-Because he's Yoo Hee-kwan.
-What?

Because he's Hee-kwan.

Hee-kwan's not feeling well.

But he got three batters perfectly.

Starter Yoo Hee-kwan

-is the ace again today.
-Yes.

Squeeze it more.

Squeeze it more.

Your sphincter is back to normal.

Let's k*ll them in the beginning.

OVEREXCITED

No need to play a long game.

Let's go again.

It's time to increase my BA.

Jeong Keun-woo is already
batting for the second time.

Yes.

Im Ju-bin is still on the pitcher's mound.

Start from batter one.
Don't mind the score.

KEUN-WOO, LET'S GO AGAIN!

Having the best batter, Jeong Keun-woo,
at bat many times

will be the best for the Monsters.

He had a home run yesterday.

Today he had a walk on the first at-bat.

HE HITS!

Jeez.

The ball hits the end of the bat.

Second baseman Park Min-hyeong gets it.
To first base.

1 OUT

Hey!

Nice pitching.

Second batter Kim Moon-h* is next.

IS IT MY TURN?

Moon-h* is well-built.

GOOD BATTING MAKES HIM
LOOK DIFFERENT

Moon-h*, that's not enough.

Since Im Ju-bin started pitching,

he didn't allow any hits.

HE HITS!

It hits the bat and bends.
It's another hit.

-Okay.
-Nice.

-Good job, Moon-h*!
-What's going on today?

It's strange today.

IT'S REALLY STRANGE…

Batter two Kim Moon-h*
had two hits in two at-bats.

You can do it.

-What's going on?
-Let's go.

Apply for a draft!

Go back to KBO!

Genius of Duksoo!

The baseball genius Kim Moon-h* is back.

He kept praising himself
that he was a genius.

He said he'd win MVP.
Finally, he's proving himself.

It's still iffy.
Tell him to make a clean hit.

STILL NOT SATISFIED

-Batter three Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.
-Come on!

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.

It hit the mound. It's slow.

Shortstop steps on the base.
To first base. Double play.

3 OUTS

Jeez, it didn't work.

-Okay.
-Nice!

NICE DOUBLE

-Nice one.
-With a double play,

CK Monsters couldn't score
in the second inning.

The score is still four to zero.

We'll gain momentum.

THE MONSTERS COULDN'T SCORE MORE

Let's catch up.

They don't have pitchers.

They'll be over when he's done.

THEY'LL BE OVER WITH THE PITCHER!

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Focus. Let's catch up.

We have to catch up one by one.

It's the bottom of the second inning.
Inha University will be at bat.

The first batter is the fourth batter

-Park Min-hyeong.
-Go.

Today, Yoo Hee-kwan
is in the worst condition

since A Clean Sweep started.

He ended the first inning neatly
by throwing nine ba*ls.

POWER OF ENTERITIS(?)

Now it's the second inning.
Park Min-hyeong is at bat.

Don't give him a good one.
It's the fourth batter.

Okay!

Hee-kwan, pay him back!

-Okay.
-A slow ball.

WHAT WAS THAT?

It was a slow ball at 93km/h.

Don't hit that.

Don't hit the opening ceremony.

That makes me frustrated.

Right? We do our best
to throw breaking ba*ls and stuff.

But he ends an inning so easily.

He's doing his best.

I want to throw like him
on the pitcher's mound.

WANNABE PITCHER YOO HEE-KWAN

SLOW

-Back!
-He hits the outward pitch.

It's high.

IT'S HIGH TOWARD CENTER FIELDER

-Center fielder moves to catch it.
-Okay.

Okay. It's nice.

-Okay.
-Okay.

It's easy.

I know that Hee-kwan isn't quite ill,

so it's difficult for him to throw hard.

But his pitching isn't all that bad.

Actually, it looks good.

These players
saw a fastball pitcher yesterday.

BRAGGING ABOUT HIMSELF(?)

So a slow ball like this works.

DUMBFOUNDED

(SERIOUS)

-I see.
-Yes.

Batter five Hwang Seong-h* is at bat.

Hold back one more time and hit it.

Nice ball. He's the ace.

-That's it.
-Nice ball.

STRIKE

It was 121km/h.
It's the fastest ball of the day.

It's too fast.

That was 120km/h.
He'll increase the speed.

He's starting the engine.

Speed check section.

That's it.

He hits.

-It's high.
-Back!

Lee Tae-keun is already there.

2 OUTS

Good!

Yoo Hee-kwan is
getting out counts comfortably.

We can relax and watch Hee-kwan throw.

If a pitcher ends an inning with 14 ba*ls,

we say it was efficient.

He got 5 outs with 17 ba*ls.

Only one out left.

Make him throw a lot of ba*ls.

It's batter six,
first baseman Park Min-su.

Good!

-Good!
-Don't die easily!

Hee-kwan is good.

-Okay!
-Close to the batter.

-Nice ball.
-That was fast.

The ball that went in deep was 124km/h.

It's good.

The pitching is really good.

-He's squeezing the sphincter.
-He's the best.

Squeeze it more.

Today,

-his pitching speed is 114km/h.
-Let's go.

-It's high.
-Good.

Lee Taek-keun is waiting again.

All three hits went to Taek-keun.

-Nice, Hee-kwan.
-Hee-kwan ends the inning easily.

He threw only 20 ba*ls
until the 2nd inning.

Nice, Hee-kwan!

You have to squeeze it.

SQUEEZE YOUR SPHINCTER

-Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Nice ball.

-Good.
-That's Hee-kwan.

All right.

-Nice.
-Good job.

Do you have a better balance
when you're weak?

You throw more lightly
without straining yourself.

You focus more on control

and balance because you're weak.

Sometimes you throw better
at a time like this.

Are you okay?

It's bearable.

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

Jung Eui-yoon will start.

The second pitcher
Im Ju-bin is on the mound.

Let's go.

He had a hit when he was first at bat.

On a day like this,
Eui-yoon keeps having hits.

-Right.
-Yes.

As you know,

Manager Lee and Commentator Kim made a bet

to pay for staff dinner.

Manager Lee said Eui-yoon
will hit a home run first.

Commentator Kim said

Soo-chang will be
the winning pitcher first.

Yesterday, I said this to Eui-yoon.

"You can hit a home run today."

"But you won't be able to hit more."

TRUST 0 PERCENT

Eui-yoon can make short hits
without feeling pressure.

Get the first batter!

Im Ju-bin, do your thing!

STRIKE

FRUSTRATED

Before A Clean Sweep started,
he said he'd hit 40 home runs.

Isn't it nonsense
to have 40 home runs in 30 games?

It's about time you hit one.

Let's go, Eui-yoon.

Please, let's go.

I really wanted to hit one
in Landers Field.

I wanted it really badly yesterday.

I was too greedy, so I had a bad result.

Today I cleared my mind.

He hits!

HE HITS!

He hits!

It's gone.

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

It's gone!

He hits! This sharp hit…

NO WAY…

This sharp hit goes toward the fence.

It goes…

HOME RUN!

It goes over the fence!

A SHARP HIT

IT GOES OVER THE FENCE!

Jung Eui-yoon.

It goes over the fence!

Jung Eui-yoon.

We trusted him.

We trusted Jung Eui-yoon.

I TRUSTED HIM!

He did it!

THAT'S OUR 4TH HITTER!

Finally, Jung Eui-yoon
hit his first home run!

HE'S BEEN WAITING
FOR THE FIRST HOME RUN

I waited for 18 games to say this.

IT TOOK HIM 18 GAMES

The fourth hitter Jung Eui-yoon did it!

TRUSTWORTHY 4TH HITTER
JUNG EUI-YOON

The fourth hitter Jung Eui-yoon

can now take a load off his mind.

4TH HITTER JUNG EUI-YOON

When I was running around the bases
after hitting a home run,

I almost choked up.

I don't know. It was weird.

I thought I'd never be able
to do that again in Landers Field.

Finally, it's here.

The fourth hitter of the Monsters

finally hit a home run.

KIM SUN-WOO

GET READY FOR STAFF DINNER!

That gesture is for Kim Sun-woo.

Eui-yoon's home run demands staff dinner.

A Clean Sweep will have a staff dinner.

Nice.

NICE STAFF DINNER!

Sun-woo!

Are you watching this, Kim Sun-woo?

Staff dinner!

MONSTERS 5 : 0 INHA UNIVERSITY

Nice.

GLORIOUS RETURN

It's a party.

SHOUTING!

CEREMONY OF JOY!

I told you you'd hit one today.

YOU'RE SO COOL, EUI-YOON!

-Nice batting.
-Good job.

THE FIRST HOME RUN LINGERS

TOTALLY MOVED

Finally, he did it.

His final ceremony pierced my heart.

Yes.

That was a simple and beautiful scene.

HE HIT A HOME RUN AGAIN
IN LANDERS FIELD

This home run was so cool.

Until he did the last ceremony,
it was cool.

That last ceremony really broke my heart.

I hit a home run again in Landers Field.

It was a beautiful hit.

It could be a called game.

Min-hyeong!

WE CAN'T LOSE LIKE THIS!

Watch out for a long hit.

INHA'S FIELDERS MOVE BACK

It's batter five Lee Taek-keun.

He's feeling the pressure.

Let's get an out.

It's okay. It was only one point.

What will he do?

IT'S ANOTHER HIT!

Lee Taek-keun hits.

THE WAY IT'S FLYING LOOKS SERIOUS

WILL IT BE?

Let's go.

What?

Hey.

THE BALL HEADS TO THE CENTER

Back.

-Go.
-Behind center fielder.

He catches the ball in the warning track.

Lee Taek-keun's hit
stopped in front of the fence.

Center fielder Jung Hyeon-seung.

Jeez.

TOO BAD

IT DIDN'T WORK

When will he hit a home run
if he hits like this?

Why can't I do it?

It would've gone over if I hadn't retired.

WELL DONE ANYWAY

It would've gone over
if you hit it left or right.

-So close.
-That…

I would've if I could.

Batter six Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

HOME RUN? I'LL HIT IT!

Do your thing, Ju-bin.

ANOTHER HIT!

Slowly.

-Third baseman catches it. First base.
-Run fast!

TO 1ST BASE!

-Jeez!
-Hong-ku.

-Run fast!
-Run fast!

First base.

-Safe.
-His foot comes off.

-It's safe.
-First base. His foot comes off.

He's safe on first base.

It's a throwing error. The runner is
announced safe on first base.

FURIOUS

There are too many throwing errors.

First baseman's foot came off.
The runner got on first base.

It's recorded as an error.

Good dash.

-Stormy engine.
-I got on base.

One out. A runner on first base.

The runner is slow. Throw it.

He's slow. Go for a double play.

LOOKING DOWN ON HONG-KU

Let's go for two outs.

Batter seven Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

What will happen to Hong-ku?

HE HITS!

-One.
-Double.

THE HIT GOES TO 2ND BASEMAN

-It's a ground ball. He dashes.
-Two.

He turns around and takes him out.

-That play was…
-Nice.

He turned around
and threw it to second base.

-Nice.
-Good job, Min-hyeong.

Good job, Min-hyeong.

Inha University can't let them
score more points.

Runners shouldn't be
in the scoring position.

Look how they played.

He wasn't able to throw.

Hong-ku was blocking the way.

-But his throw was perfect.
-It was.

You can do it slowly.

That's a very sensible throw.

Two outs. A runner on first base.

Batter eight Yoon Jun-h* is at bat.

The ball drops and he pulls the bat away.

Run fast!

-Swing.
-Swing. Second base!

He's safe on second base.

Ryu Hyun-in stole the base.

He has great shoulders.

THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS

If he hits and makes it seven to zero,
it would be perfect.

CALLED GAME IS OUR GOAL!

Two outs. A runner is in scoring position.

This is what they need.

Because Ryu Hyun-in
is in the scoring position,

Yoon Jun-h* really needs
to make a short hit to score.

Focus on the batter.

-Nice!
-He hits!

-It's a good hit.
-It'll go over.

A NICE HIT TOWARD THE CENTER

-It'll go over.
-It goes over center fielder.

-Jumping catch!
-He caught it!

He caught it!

JUMPING CATCH!

HE CAUGHT IT!

Center fielder Jung Hyeon-seung!

HE CAUGHT THIS?

-What?
-He caught it.

UNBELIEVABLE DEFENSE!

What was that?

It was a perfect play.

I never thought I'd see defense like this.

INHA UNIVERSITY'S PERFECT DEFENSE!

-Nice!
-Everyone thought it was a hit.

The ball got sucked
into Hyeon-seung's glove.

Nice!

You made a great picture.

Writer Go Eun-mi is
looking for a restaurant already.

She's driving me nuts.

They're all excited.

"I'll look for a good restaurant
big enough for 200 people."

If it's a 10,000-won dish,
it's 2 million won already.

Jeez.

I prepared for three months to pitch once.

Now I have to spend two million won.

What's the point of living?

HE LOST THE REASON TO LIVE(?)

"What's the point of living?"

I'm getting nothing out of it.
What am I doing?

Ask the general manager for help.

-Ask for help.
-But I stooped down last time.

-Again?
-One more time.

Ask him for help.

It's the bottom of the third inning.

THE BOTTOM OF THE 3RD INNING
MONSTERS 5 : 0 INHA UNIVERSITY

It's raining a little bit.

They seem cold.

They're putting raincoats on.

WEARING RAINCOATS

The rain is quite heavy.

Isn't it a sudden shower?

-It's sunny.
-We have to play in the rain.

It's not that bad. We can still play.

Focus.

This is what Hee-kwan has to do.

It's five to zero.
He shouldn't let them score.

Hee-kwan needs to hit the strike zone
in the beginning

-and get the batters quickly.
-Yes.

It's the first batter Seon Ji-seung.

INHA UNIVERSITY HAS TO CATCH UP

We need to make one.

The score is important.
We need to chase them.

-Hit it.
-Hit it up.

Okay. A hit.

-Okay.
-He pulls. Third baseman catches it.

Choi Soo-hyun. To first base.

-Safe.
-The ball bounced off.

Choi Soo-hyun. To first base.

THE BALL BOUNCES OFF THE GROUND

HE GOT ON BASE!

-Okay.
-That's it!

This is it.

Good job!

THE MONSTERS LET A RUNNER GET ON BASE

Jeez.

Slowly. We can relax.

For the first time today,
Inha University has a runner on base.

Hit it first!

Ji-seung, good job!

Yoo Hee-kwan is pitching.
Park Chan-hui is at bat.

Manager Jung said
Chan-hui is a much better batter

than what he showed us yesterday.

-He wasn't able to show everything.
-Right.

He asked us to watch him play today.

Infielders aren't good.

Hit and run hard!

STRIKE

-Isn't it the same one?
-One strike.

Okay. You can hit it now!

Throw!

Don't hit everything. Do your thing.

Let's go.

STRIKE

Good.

-Nice ball.
-Good.

HEE-KWAN IS STRUGGLING

If Hee-kwan throws low,

-he can induce a double play.
-Yes.

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

Good!

SCREAMING

How many strikeouts is that?

PARK CHAN-HUI

That sinker has a big drop.

Yoo Hee-kwan can throw
a perfect sinker in a situation like this.

Because you saw the best sinker yesterday,

this probably isn't enough.

But this is also a great sinker.

You're amazing at promoting yourself.

Batter nine Ko Myeong-gyu is at bat.

Myeong-gyu has a great batting average!

Yesterday,
Ko Myeong-gyu had a surprise bunt.

I still remember it clearly.

He also had a hit. He had multiple hits.

That was the point.

Myeong-gyu, do what you're good at.

HE HITS!

-That's it.
-He hits.

It goes high. Right fielder.

He can't catch it.

FAILS TO DIVE AND CATCH

No.

Jeez.

-Run!
-Go!

-Run fast!
-Run!

The runner goes to second base.

-Stop.
-He goes all the way to third base.

1ST BASE RUNNER REACHES 3RD BASE

Ko Myeong-gyu's hit.

There are two runners in scoring position.

THE GAME STARTS NOW!

Ko Myeong-gyu!

A good hit.

-He missed it.
-Where was he?

-Where was Moon-h*?
-Where was he?

He's a terrible runner.

Why is he so bad at running?

It's important for Inha University
to score in this inning.

-He had a great hit.
-Yes.

Ko Myeong-gyu's hit.

There are two runners in scoring position.

Yoo Hee-kwan may lose points
for the first time today.

You have to hit!

If they score two points,
it's five to two.

We need a called game.

It should end as a called game.

Batter one Jung Hyeon-seung is at bat.

Send it to the outfield.

It'll come in low!

Behind the infield.

This is where we'll score.

Two runners in scoring position.
Hee-kwan is in crisis.

What will he throw?

CAN HE PREVENT A RUN?

It won't be easy.

The first hit goes to the center.

IT GOES TO THE CENTER

Center fielder moves.

-Third base!
-Lee Taek-keun catches it.

-He throws it.
-Second!

-Run!
-Third!

They couldn't catch the tag-up runner.

-Inha University scores its first point.
-One at a time!

It's five to one.

LET'S CATCH UP!

Jeez.

They're four points apart.
Two outs. A runner on second base.

There's one out left.

This is where we can score.

Yoo Hee-kwan is still facing a crisis.

-Let's go.
-Batter two Kim Seo-won is at bat.

2ND BATTER KIM SEO-WON

-We got it.
-Let's go!

Just one more.

Do one more.

-Okay!
-He pulls. Toward first base.

-Okay!
-He pulls. Toward first base.

Run!

THE BALL HIT THE GLOVE

In front of you! Tag him!

Okay. Run!

MAKING A DASH

-Lee Hong-ku catches it.
-Go!

-He steps on first base.
-That's it.

Yoo Hee-kwan
didn't allow any extra points.

Five to one.

-The game heads to the fourth inning.
-Okay.

-Nice.
-Good job.

It was a good hit.

Let's score one point at a time.

UPSET

It's the top of the fourth inning.

Im Ju-bin is still on the pitcher's mound.

Ju-bin, get the base!

Batter nine Choi Soo-hyun will start.

Soo-hyun must be feeling the pressure.

Because his mistake
let a runner score a point.

Yes. He has to swing aggressively
in a situation like this.

-Yes.
-A strong hit.

Let's get the first batter.

He swings and misses.

SOO-HYUN DIDN'T GET THE TIMING

-Swing!
-Hit it!

TIMING IS IMPORTANT

Make up for it!

MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

FOUL

-Okay.
-It's okay.

SOO-HYUN IS GETTING THE TIMING

It was high.

It's two strikes.

Rather than trying to hit it,
he should shake it off

and swing aggressively
even if he gets struck out.

It's okay.

GET ON BASE, SOO-HYUN!

Let's go.

The count isn't favorable to the batter.

ONE MORE STRIKE
WILL MAKE A STRIKEOUT

The count is favorable to the pitcher.

CAN HE THROW A STRIKE?

HE HITS!

-He pushes!
-Okay.

The ball goes past third baseman.

A HIT GOES PAST 3RD BASEMAN!

Okay!

-A great hit!
-Good job!

Choi Soo-hyun made a hit.

-Okay. Do it.
-Nice.

Good job.

No outs. A runner on first base.

Jeong Keun-woo had
his fourth home run yesterday.

Chan-hui, he's a runner.

GIVING AN ORDER

THE BATTERY EXCHANGES SIGNS

He throws the ball.

SOO-HYUN TRIES TO STEAL BASE!

Go. It's coming.

He throws the ball.
The runner starts to run.

-Okay.
-He's out on second base.

THE QUICK THROW TAKES THE RUNNER OUT

SIGHING

Chan-hui, it was a good throw!

Inha's manager read the sign perfectly,

so he made this happen.

He threw it high
and sent the ball to the base.

-He did it on purpose.
-Because he's so good at throwing,

he carries out the pitchout really easily.

Yes.

Choi Soo-hyun fails to steal a base.
The runner is gone.

Why did I overdo it?

THE GOOD MOMENTUM STOPPED

-Swing.
-Swing. Strikeout.

SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT

THAT'S IT!

Jeez.

Great defense!

2 OUTS IN NO TIME!

-Good.
-We gained momentum!

We'll gain momentum this time!

Only one out left.

When the game is tight like this,

the Monsters will feel like
they're losing even though they aren't.

Right.

Batter two Kim Moon-h* is at bat.

Moon-h* had two hits.

-He's after a home run.
-Yes.

Moon-h*'s batting average is .343.

MOON-h*'S BATTING AVERAGE
IS ON THE RISE

STRIKE

-Nice.
-Let's go.

FIGURED IT OUT

Moon-h*, look up.

Hit a home run.

If he makes a hit,

-it'd be really great.
-Of course.

-He'd have three hits today then.
-Yes.

HE HITS AGAIN!

He pushes!

It falls inside the line!

-What's up with his batting?
-What?

Run!

MAKING A DASH

-Three!
-Stop third base!

HE HURRIEDLY FIELDS THE BALL

Third base!

THROWS IT TO 3RD!

The pinch hitter Kim Moon-h*

swings for his third hit
on his third appearance.

What just happened?

What's with him today?

THIS IS GREAT!

AMAZING BATTING

His swings are good. What a genius.

Then why can't he make it more obvious?

I know, right?

After taking away the hitter's timing
with breaking ba*ls,

it's hard to hit a fastball.

But Kim Moon-h* made it look so easy.

A HIT NEAR THE BORDER!

Look at him going at it with three hits.

Kim Moon-h*, the pinch hitter,

hits a double this inning.

Two runners are in scoring position
for the Monsters.

And next up is Jeong Seong-hoon.

A GENIUS AFTER ANOTHER GENIUS

Because we allowed them to score a run,

it's essential
they also score a run this inning.

This inning might've been difficult

thanks to failing to steal the base
and a strikeout.

How will Jeong Seong-hoon wrap up
the fourth inning?

Go aggressive.

ANOTHER CHANCE TO SCORE

HE HITS!

INFIELD FLY BALL

It pops up high in the air.

Hey, call it.

Third.

3RD BASEMAN!

Third baseman and shortstop come in
for the catch.

Moon-h*, come in quickly.

Third baseman calls it.

-Nice.
-He catches it for the final out.

HE'S DISAPPOINTED

Moon-h* hit a double after two outs.

But it did not lead to a run.

The score is still five to one.
Four points apart.

Kim Moon-h* is unbelievable.

All the contacts he made became a hit.

Let's just go for two runs this inning.

-Cheong-yong, you need to get on a base.
-You got this.

-Moon-h*, get on defense.
-Let's defend, all right?

THE BOTTOM OF THE 4TH INNING
MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

This is the bottom of the fourth.

Yoo Hee-kwan still takes the mound.

I can tell he's not feeling well today.
Look how gaunt his face is.

Yes, it's been quite tough for him.

How's Hee-kwan doing?

I think he's okay.

-Can he pitch up to 80?
-I'll check when he comes in.

Thank you, please check on him.

You can tell how responsible
Yoo Hee-kwan is acting for his team.

Today, there are only two other pitchers
the Monsters can play today.

They are Oh Ju-won and Rhee Dae-eun.

-I see.
-That's why even though he's sick,

he will show his willpower
that he can pitch more innings.

Leading off is the third hitter,
Kim Cheong-yong.

Let's go!

You have to get on a base.

HE STEPS FURTHER AWAY

It curves into the strike zone.

HE STEPS FURTHER AWAY AGAIN

JUN-h* ASKS FOR ANOTHER PITCH OUTSIDE

Swings and misses.

STRIKE

Kim Cheong-yong is standing further away
from the home plate.

Look at the batter's box.

He's really far away.

Because he's further away from the plate,

the bat can't reach pitches
that come far away.

As soon as Kim Cheong-yong tries
to outmaneuver them,

they take back control.

That's right.

It's going to be a changeup.

I WON'T MISS THIS TIME

The ball drops low.
Swings and misses. Strikeout.

HEE-KWAN PITCHES A STRIKEOUT EASILY

Yoo Hee-kwan
takes care of Kim Cheong-yong.

HE'S FRUSTRATED

We can't let this happen.

Next up is number four, Park Min-hyeong.

Park Min-hyeong is a great player.

The throw he made earlier
was a major-league-level throw.

Although shortstop caught his ball,
he made solid contact.

I'm not saying this
because he hit my ball yesterday.

His plays are really good.

Just get on base!

HE HITS!

He makes contact against the slow pitch.

Shortstop dashes in, but it's a hit.

Park Min-hyeong makes a hit for the team

in this second appearance.

-Let's go!
-Nice!

LET'S DO THIS

On Inha, the hitter that really catches
the most attention is

probably Park Min-hyeong.

The pitch was a slow curveball.

But because his lower body was balanced,
he drew the ball in and pushed it out.

PARK MIN-HYEONG WAITED
TO HIT THE CURVE

What a great player.

A RUNNER ON 1ST WITH 1 OUT

We're only four points ahead.

Next up is number five, Hwang Seong-h*.

Seong-h*.

FULL-ON AGGRESSIVE MODE ON

THEY UNDERSTOOD

MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

Yes!

It skips off the bat.

It's flying toward foul territory.
Lee Hong-ku waits for it.

And he catches it.

Hey, what was that?

You can do this!

-You got this!
-Come on!

Go, Hee-kwan!

Next up is number six, Park Min-su.

YOU MUST HIT IT BY ALL MEANS

Wait for a bad pitch and hit that!

-Nice!
-He makes contact.

It's a clean hit in the center-left.

Lee Taek-keun fields the ball,
sprinting for it.

The runner goes to third.

The hitter stops at first.

-Nice!
-Good job!

LET'S CHASE THEM DOWN

This is the second cycle,
so they're different.

He's a pretty good hitter.

Runners on first and third with two outs.

RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD WITH 2 OUTS

This is a situation
where they must feel pressured.

Timeout!

Manager Lee decides
to take a trip to the mound.

-It's two outs.
-Yes.

We made an error against
that hitter earlier.

-Right.
-That's him.

Your pitches are a bit high,
so let's make them slightly lower.

-Relax, okay?
-Yes, sir.

-You got this.
-He's not great today.

-So you can relax.
-Let's do this.

Defense can also help.

-Let's do this.
-Let's do this.

No bowel movements yet?

-Not yet?
-I feel too weak.

Runners on first and third with two outs.

A SINGLE HIT CAN RESULT IN A RUN

Next up is Seon Ji-seung.

Let's go for a run. Focus, all right?

Let's defend this!

Hee-kwan, you can do it!

I CANNOT ALLOW ANY MORE RUNS

This is Seon Ji-seung's second appearance.

One last out left.

HE HITS!

It skips off the bat.

But this one is hard to catch.

-Gosh.
-I think he will catch it though.

-Nice!
-Good.

It skips off the bat.

But this one is hard to catch.

-He caught it!
-This is it!

-Ryu Hyun-in!
-This is it!

-He caught it!
-This is it!

-Ryu Hyun-in!
-This is it!

We didn't lose faith until the end.

We trusted Ryu Hyun-in
that he'd catch the ball.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, RYU HYUN-IN

A JAW-DROPPING PLAY

He's the best. Nice catch.

That was big.

Ryu Hyun-in proves himself as a shortstop

with a solid result!

Nice play.

THEY ARE SHOCKED.
DID HE JUST CATCH THAT BALL?

My gosh, how did you catch that?

HE'S AMAZED AGAIN AND AGAIN

That was so cool.

Hyun-in, how did you manage to catch that?

HE THREW HIMSELF TO SAVE THE TEAM
WITH AN AMAZING CATCH

-Come on in.
-Nice!

-Good job.
-Nice.

That was great, Hyun-in.

Come here.

That was amazing.

-You went the wrong way at the start.
-Yes, sir.

-Come here.
-This is trouble.

Take a picture of him.

He really looks like he's about to poop

or actually, bitter from pooping.

You got this, Hee-kwan!

Your sphincter can make it to the end.

HE CHUCKLES

Are you wearing diapers?

ARE YOU WEARING DIAPERS?

(SHAKING HIS HEAD)

I feel so weak, gosh.

-We're doing pretty well today.
-He needs checking.

You're better at throwing
when you're feeling weak.

Your weak pitches drop better.

It's now the bottom of the fifth.

In both the fourth and fifth,

both teams didn't score any runs.

It's Hee-kwan once again.

I was in pain before the game.

But I believe that a professional player

should not express
his pain while in the game.

Next up is Park Chan-hui.

You're critical in this, Chan-hui.
The first hitter is important.

Swing towards
the direction of the pitcher.

HE HITS!

It's near third. Third fields it.

Let's see the throw.

He accurately throws it to first.

One out.

There are no bad pitches.

ARE YOU SURE HE'S SICK?

Next up is Ko Myeong-gyu.

Although he doesn't have a large physique,

his ability to make contact is great.

-He also changes up his style well.
-That's right.

He pitches outside. It's a strike.

How can he pitch 119km/h so consistently?

-Ask him.
-He controls himself.

It's fascinating.

If he was a car,
he had the cruise control on.

STRIKE

It'd be great
if Hee-kwan could pitch more innings.

But the fact that he pitched to fifth

is a great gift, even to Manager Lee.

Right.

-Nice!
-Nice!

Swings and misses, strikeout!

He gets his second out

by pitching his fourth strikeout
of the day.

He's clenching his sphincters.

His sphincters are back to normal.

Batter one Jung Hyeon-seung.

NO SIGNAL, JUST HIT IT…

Try to make something happen.

STRIKE

-Gosh.
-It's a foul.

FOUL

The game isn't over yet!

MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

The count is zero and two.

-You can do this!
-You can do this!

-You can do this!
-You can do this!

Swings and misses. It's a strikeout!

That was his fifth strikeout.

Although Inha scored a run,
it wasn't an earned run.

AS EXPECTED, HEE-KWAN

Good job!

You can throw until the 15th at this rate.

You seem relaxed
when Hee-kwan is the pitcher.

I have nothing to worry about.

THE BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING,
MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

The bottom of the sixth will proceed
with Inha on the offense.

Yoo Hee-kwan is not letting us go.

I hope he won't end up pitching 200 times.

Of course, each inning
is dangerous and important,

but this inning is crucial for Hee-kwan.

The lineup is looking ferocious.
They are batters two, three, and four.

I think I was determined.

I was determined
to stop the losing streak of my team.

I WILL STOP THE LOSING STREAK
NO MATTER WHAT

Kim Seo-won is in the box.

Catch it.

He makes contact. A tricky one.

Ryu Hyun-in!

Even Hyun-in couldn't catch it this time.

The first hitter gets on a base.

-Yes!
-Let's go!

-Show them!
-Look at you!

LET'S CHASE THEM DOWN

Come on!

DID I PUSH HIM TOO FAR
GOING FOR 6TH?

I hope he can pitch until the sixth.

It'd be good if you can start pitching
from the seventh.

So keep your eyes on him and get ready.

Yes, sir.

It would be great
if Hee-kwan could pitch more innings,

but he had sphincter issues.

So I couldn't let Hee-kwan
take on more innings

as even I started feeling sorry for him.

The pitchers we had today
weren't feeling so great.

So they can easily catch up.

The Monsters' crisis starts now.

You're right.

Next up is the third hitter,
Kim Cheong-yong.

HIS OPPONENT IS KIM CHEONG-YONG

Today, Yoo Hee-kwan managed
to strike Kim Cheong-yong out

in all of the innings today.

MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

Let's go out this time!

WE MUST DEFEND THIS…

We have to make it happen.

You can do it.

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

He hits the first pitch.
The pitcher fields it!

-All right! This is easy.
-Go for a double.

ALL RIGHT!

He hits the first pitch.
The pitcher fields it!

Second base first, and to first base!

It's a double play!

All right!

Good job.

I KNEW I COULD TRUST YOU

It's a 1-4-3 double play.

He deletes all the runners from the bases!

Hee-kwan's pitching was perfect.

But we felt the fielders getting together
to defend the inning.

Teamwork like this is hard to see.

Right.

There was only one ball,
but it resulted in two outs.

Yoo Hee-kwan is relieved now.

Next up is batter four, Park Min-hyeong.

A HIT LAST INNING, PARK MIN-HYEONG

Park Min-hyeong is by far
the trickiest hitter for Hee-kwan today.

That's true.

HE HITS!

-Catch it!
-It skips off the bat.

Shortstop calls it, and he catches it!

Yoo Hee-kwan
shuts out the inning with a double play

and three hitters.

His ERA is at 0 until the sixth.

Good job, Hee-kwan.

Hee-kwan wants you to buy him
jjamppong next time.

All right.

Great work, really.

Come here.

Why don't we go for another inning?

I'm about to hit the bathroom.

But just one more.

Gosh, my stomach.

(GOES TO THE BATHROOM HURRIEDLY)

-Finally the pitcher changed!
-Nice!

He's finally done!

THE BOTTOM OF THE 7TH INNING
MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

Did you just hear that?

They are happy about the switch.

Yes, that's what they are saying.

Manager Lee changes the pitcher.

Rhee Dae-eun takes the mound
in the seventh inning.

Rhee Dae-eun has the lowest ERA
out of all the pitchers on CK Monsters.

SPEED: 139KM/H

I'm jealous.

I only get 122km/h.

This is a back-to-back match,
including yesterday's.

So the Monsters don't have many pitchers.

That's right.

Manager Lee trusts Rhee Dae-eun the most
in this situation where he cannot

use all the pitchers he wants.

Indeed.

Starting off is Hwang Seong-h*,
the fifth hitter.

He has to pitch many innings.

HE HITS!

He makes contact.
It's a clean hit in the center-left!

Wow!

Run quickly!

The hitter goes to second.

He stops at second.

First hitter gets a double.

-That was great!
-Nice!

Yes!

It's here!

-The momentum is ours now!
-Let's go!

I pitched it too far.

Manager Lee's choice, Rhee Dae-eun,

allows an extra-base-hit
against the first hitter.

The end of their lineup is good today.

The right-handed hitters
have short swings.

So they are able to make contact easily
against the changing pitches.

Right.

With Hwang Seong-h* hitting a double,
he's on second.

A RUNNER ON 2ND WITH NO OUTS

Min-su, no bunts. We're going aggressive.

Next up is Park Min-su, the sixth hitter.

WE MUST CATCH UP TO THEM NOW!

-Min-su, let's go!
-This is where we come back!

A HIT CAN RESULT IN A RUN

Rhee Dae-eun from the Monsters.

A ground ball. It goes over the pitcher!

Gosh, in the front.

-Nice!
-Run!

A ground ball.

It goes over the pitcher!
It's a slow ball.

Shortstop fields it and throws it first!

He's out on first base!

HE EXCLAIMS IN SURPRISE

SCREAMING!

-That was so good.
-Nice!

(NODDING HIS HEAD)

KEEPS A STRAIGHT FACE

Although Hyun-in tripped,

his throw was perfect.

-Are you okay?
-I'm fine.

Great job.

Excellent job, man.

That wasn't supposed to be fielded.

On top of that, the throw.

I'll give it to you. That was good.

Fielding that ball is doable,
but the throwing was tricky.

HYUN-IN'S PERFECT THROW ON THE RUN

How did he do that?

Let's see.

He was already tripping
when he threw the ball.

After he fielded the ball,
it was too far from his body.

So if he didn't throw his body to throw,
this wouldn't have happened.

But his instincts made this possible.

Ryu Hyun-in, with a heart of a beast.

Great job, Hyun-in!

We finally got one precious out.

The runner is on third.

Outfielders are at their normal defense.

That means they would allow
the runner to score a run

if they can get another out.

A good block. It could've been dangerous.

Because Rhee Dae-eun is thinking
of pitching two to three innings,

his pitches today are generally

-very light.
-Right.

That can play as a variable.

He just needs to get outs.

I MUST QUICKLY GET OUTS

The second pitch was
a brushback. Two ba*ls.

Gosh.

Dae-eun isn't feeling great today.

Dae-eun, it's okay if they hit it,
but don't let them get runners.

Okay.

When I was about to pitch another
four-seam with a runner on base,

it reminded me of a trauma.

I keep thinking of pitching to the ground.

That's why I couldn't throw four-seams,
so I pitched two-seams instead.

3 ba*ls

This is it!

This is nice!

When Dae-eun isn't feeling good, he…

He didn't seem well today.

-Get Ju-won ready quickly.
-Come on, let's go!

-You want me to tell him?
-Yes, quickly.

MONSTERS 5 : 1 INHA UNIVERSITY

You got this!

And he couldn't pitch another strike.

Base on ba*ls.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR INHA

-Nice!
-Let's load the bases up!

We're finally playing baseball!

We're playing a pinch runner.

They're going to run.

THEY PLAY A PINCH RUNNER
WITH NIMBLE FEET

-Dae-eun, think of base steals.
-This one is a double.

-What?
-It's going to be a double.

Runners on first and third.

Manager Lee uses his last opportunity

-to visit the mound.
-Right.

Your pitches seem heavy today.

-Your arms seem a bit slow.
-It is, right?

-Right?
-Yes.

Let's see you pitch until this hitter.

-Just think of defending this inning.
-Yes, sir.

Don't pitch too many times,

just pitch with full force.

We need more outs.

You can give them a run.

Just make sure you don't bring in
any more runners.

Throw it to second.

Jun-h*, throw it to second.

-To second.
-Yes, sir.

-The worst case is a ground ball.
-Yes, sir.

We need a sacrifice fly.

To where the pitcher is.

-Relax, okay? It's fine.
-Yes, sir.

-Try your best.
-Okay.

Inha still has two more outs to go.

Next up is the eighth hitter,
Park Chan-hui.

He fails to catch the first pitch!

HE MISSED THE BALL!

-Run!
-Yes!

Third baserunner comes home
just like that.

The score is now five to two,
a three-point difference.

That was great!

JUN-h* FAILS TO CATCH THE BALL
AT A CRITICAL MOMENT

Gosh, that was disappointing.

The momentum has shifted
because of a single pitch.

They couldn't get an out
when they allowed a run.

And also Inha is in scoring position.

This is a whole different story.

-Let's keep pushing forward!
-This is easy!

-You need to hit this one for us!
-Come on!

Chan-hui, a hit will get us a run!

Rhee Dae-eun shut off two innings
in yesterday's game.

Rhee Dae-eun still needs two more outs.

FOUL

A ground ball, but a foul.

If that hit well,
it would still be flying.

The timing is right.

HE'S EXTREMELY CONFIDENT

Hey!

Allowing a run is okay.

But allowing two runs is not okay.

MONSTERS 5 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

The count is one and one.
He makes contact.

It's a fly ball.

The center fielder runs back.

Kim Moon-h* catches it.

-Kim Moon-h* catches it.
-Third base!

Second baserunner tags up.

And he goes to third base safely.

HE EASILY GETS ON 3RD BASE

Timeout!

Manager Lee doesn't hesitate
to visit the mound.

Will he be changing pitchers here?

-I should've done better, Jun-h*.
-Sorry, gosh.

What's wrong, Manager Lee?

You seemed exhausted.

I told you this team is tough.

I already told you.

Great work.

Pitcher Rhee Dae-eun,
with the lowest ERA in his team,

comes down from the mound.

The next pitcher is Oh Ju-won.

MONSTERS' THIRD PITCHER OH JU-WON

-Move out when you have to.
-All right, sir.

Okay.

Yesterday's loss.

He allowed the most runs yesterday.

HE'S HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

This is better.

His first pitch is always a fastball.

-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.

I wanted you to take the mound
when there are no runners.

He actually didn't feel well yesterday.

And he prepared a lot for today's game

-to pitch perfectly.
-I see.

He must shut out the inning now.

I failed the day before,
so I didn't want to repeat that.

That's why I wanted to shut them out
by any means.

He's furious right now.

-Ju-won?
-Yes, he's furious.

Ju-won allowed
the game-changing run yesterday.

How will he do today?

Come on, let's defend this!

JU-WON, PLEASE DEFEND THE INNING

Kim Hwan-hee,
the pinch hitter, enters the box.

Right. Inha is playing
an aggressive card too.

We just need one more run.

We don't know what will happen
in the next innings.

A RUNNER ON 1ST WITH 2 OUTS
I MUST SHUT THEM OUT

The first pitch is a ball outside.

He's throwing breaking ba*ls now.

I'm sure all of you are aware,
but I don't pitch out of the zone.

It might become a ball
trying to pitch a strike.

But I never intentionally pitched it.

However, I'm not a professional
baseball player anymore,

and playing like that was wrong of me.

Currently, if I want to pitch well,

I have to pitch many ba*ls.

2 ba*ls

A low pitch.

All right! This is good!

Oh Ju-won is much more careful now.

Because of yesterday.

He always pitched into the zone
since he joined.

He's always been like that.

He makes contact! It curves into the right
and into foul territory.

It's a foul.

All right, come on!

No, come back in!

That was close.

SO CLOSE

He's powerful.

He's against Kim Hwan-hee.
The count is two and one.

ANOTHER FOUL

It's a foul.

The count is two and two for him.

Then he now has to pitch
a precise brushback.

He cannot let his pitch
go near the center of the zone.

THE BATTERY ARE
CAREFULLY STRATEGIZING

Yoon Jun-h* also asks for a brushback.

And Oh Ju-won pitches inside!

A PERFECT PITCH THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HIT

Nice!

The inning ends with a strikeout.

Yesterday's nightmare
does not repeat today.

Pitcher Oh Ju-won comes down
without allowing any runs

in a dangerous situation.

-Come on in.
-Great work.

Good work.

-Good job.
-Nice job.

-Nice ball.
-All right.

You don't pitch into the zone anymore.
This is good.

You started playing tricks now.

It's driving me crazy
because that's not who I am.

-But you have to do it.
-Right.

Moon-h*.

-Yes?
-Let's get a hit.

The only hit I saw you make
was the first one today.

Did I do something wrong, sir?

The other two weren't that memorable.

They are three points behind
coming into the eighth.

Jeon Yeong-jun still takes the mound.

What Inha is doing well right now is

not allowing any runs since the fourth.

-Right.
-That's why they are catching up.

The Monsters cannot be complacent here.

Then Choi Soo-hyun's role here
as the first hitter is important.

It's very important.

A runner with Jeong Keun-woo next in line?

That may smooth out the game.

We have Kim Moon-h* as well,
the best hitter.

Let's get on a base, guys.

He pulls.

-First base fields it.
-Hurry back!

First baseman gets on the base
slightly faster.

Gosh, thank you.

Jeon Yeong-jun pitched seven outs already,

but he didn't allow any runs.

Next up is Jeong Keun-woo.

Gosh, 22 hits and 16 RBIs?

He's good.

How can he hit so well every week?

He makes contact!

Left fielder!

A FLY BALL TO THE LEFT

Left fielder!

He fails to catch it!

Man, this is driving me crazy.

-Jeong Keun-woo goes for second base.
-Run!

Here!

The ball goes to second!

He's safe on second base!

AS EXPECTED OF JEONG KEUN-WOO

Jeong Keun-woo's foot
touches the base first.

Keun-woo, who was determined to score,

sprints to second and takes it!

And they immediately
request an instant replay.

-That's an out.
-Out!

Check the replay.

-That was out.
-Right.

-You're right.
-I'm certain.

-Isn't it safe?
-It's safe.

We won't have
another chance to use it anyway.

For starters, the left fielder
made a wrong decision here.

That's why he failed to catch it.

And then the throws were a bit slow,

so that's why Keun-woo sprinted to second.

His foot came in first.

The call stands.

SO SAFE

One out, and Jeong Keun-woo is
in scoring position.

That double he ran for was excellent

because he's about to give the box
to today's best batter, Kim Moon-h*.

Let's go, Moon-h*!

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

You have to hit here
to be a really good batter.

You have to hit now!

Three hits, four at-bats.

This is the fifth time he's in the box.

You'll be fined if you're struck out.

He hits to the left,
and it falls in the line.

KIM MOON-h* MAKES 4 HITS!

MOON-h*'S HITS ARE
ALWAYS EXHILARATING AND FEEL NEW

-Nice!
-Yes!

Kim Moon-h*'s four hits,
and another point.

Jeong Keun-woo returns home in a jog.

MONSTERS 6 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

5 AT-BATS, 4 HITS, KING MOON-h*

Four hits, five at-bats.
Kim Moon-h* becomes

a perfect part of the Monsters.

That was a precious hit.

The Monsters are cornered,

so we know how desperate he was
to make that hit.

Three points difference is

turned into four, six to two,
thanks to his timely hit.

I don't have one.

I DON'T HAVE AN MVP BADGE!

That was a big one. That was big.

If one person goes mad,
it's easy to win the game.

And Kim Moon-h* is
in scoring position again.

This means the batter must
make a hit and corner them.

Dong-wook, hit it. Dong-wook.

One more.

He hits high into the right center.

What is this?

-That's it.
-We can make it.

The center fielder, The right fielder.

The center fielder runs a while
and catches.

That was close, Dong-wook.

It was caught.

Only one out left.
He's up against Jung Eui-yoon.

If they make a small mistake or a big hit,

we'll gain another point.

So Inha University must be highly nervous.

Focus.

Cut them off now.

-He pushes it out far. It flies high.
-Go out!

The right fielder walks down.

-Okay.
-He catches. Three outs.

Jeong Keun-woo's double and
Kim Moon-h*'s timely hit as a pinch hitter

made an extra point for the Monsters.

Hey, Kim Moon-h*.

-Hey, Moontani.
-Kim Moon-h*.

You look handsome today.

THANKS TO THE HITS

-Hey, Kim Moon-h*.
-Your skin looks fairer.

You wouldn't have hit that
if I complimented you before.

You're doing well right now.

We can catch up by four points
with just one chance.

-Yes.
-We can't let it end like this.

-Okay? Let's get one more point.
-Yes.

-Okay? Let's go.
-Yes.

-Let's go.
-We can do this.

-Inha!
-Hey!

Four points!

THE BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 6 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

Oh Ju-won needs to end this match today.

OH JU-WON, BACK ON THE MOUND

It'll be thumping and rolling.
He doesn't throw over 140km/h.

We have to make it out.

Just come in contact.

Jung Hyeon-seung is at-bat.

HE HITS!

It skips off the bat and flies.

The left fielder runs and catches.

Jung Eui-yoon, one out.

THE FIRST BATTER FAILED TO GO OUT

Oh Ju-won is in a different condition
compared to yesterday's game.

On the outside.
Swings and misses, strikeout.

OKAY!

Ju-won got it now.

-Nice.
-Go!

Ju-won knows now.

Yes, good. You're doing great today.

WHY IS HE SUDDENLY SO GOOD TODAY?

That was the second strikeout
for Oh Ju-won today.

HE HITS!

A slow hit. The second baseman runs.

He turns and throws.

3 OUTS IN A FLASH

It was enough to make

another out.

Pitcher Oh Ju-won strikes out
all three batters.

(PULLS OUT)

You'll play in the ninth?

No, just warming up.

-A .400 hitter.
-Yes, a .400 hitter.

The number one hitter.

You have to be humble here

-The first batter is important.
-Yes, sir.

There's the end of the ninth,
so stop them.

THE TOP OF THE 9TH INNING
MONSTERS 6 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

Cho Jun-hyeok takes the mound.

He pitched over three innings
in the game yesterday

and struck out seven batters.

The batters of CK Monsters
fell down helplessly.

Yes, the batters said
the pitch comes into a zone

where it's impossible to hit.

How will he pitch today?

CK Monsters begin to bat
starting with Lee Taek-keun.

It flies out.
Lee Taek-keun hits down the left.

PLEASE, A HIT!

Go!

-Go.
-The left. The left fielder

fails to catch.

Lee Taek-keun's hit rolls to the wall,

and he reaches second base with ease.

I knew it.

-Let's go!
-Okay!

TAEK-KEUN V DELIVERS

-Nice batting!
-Good.

What? No?

The batters had a tough time yesterday

because they couldn't spot the timing
for a changeup.

But Lee Taek-keun proves himself.

HE DOESN'T FALL FOR THAT TWICE!

He hits a double down the left field,

now in the scoring position.

Hey.

-He's here.
-He came out.

It's .400 hitter Lee Seung-yuop.

The .400 hitter with 5 at-bats
and 2 hits, Lee Seung-yuop.

Will it become .500?

Or will it go down to .333?

WILL IT BE .500 OR .333?

He kept hitting home runs
when he practiced today.

Yes, I saw him.

We saw the .400 hitter hit homers.

So he's a completely different person

compared to when he first came.

Darn it.

SWINGS AND MISSES

It was this far off.

Keep it up!

Hit a bunt! Bat for the team!

It'll be hilarious if he does.

And if he fails.

Set an example!

Bat for the team!

It brushes against the bat.

He can't hit breaking ba*ls.

Cho Jun-hyeok keeps a cool head
and pitches well.

He mixes sliders and curveballs.

HE USES BREAKING ba*ls
TO MAKE THE BATTER MISS

He's using all kinds of breaking ba*ls

-against Lee Seung-yuop the batter.
-Yes.

No outs, a runner on the second.
Pinch hitter, Lee Seung-yuop.

I think he'll hit one.

SLIDER NEAR THE TORSO

It comes in near his torso.
Strikeout looking.

Come on, bat for the team!

What are you doing?

Bat for the team!

(CRITICIZED AFTER 3 HITS)

You could've hit to make him advance.
You're fined.

The slider was near his torso.

That was a highly difficult pitch.

That was an excellent course.

You can just hit it in front.

Be quiet.

Don't hit when it's a southpaw.

-What? No.
-Don't fight a southpaw.

-No for what?
-No.

-The reality?
-This isn't it.

-This isn't it?
-No.

He shows perfect pitch control.
One out, a runner on the second.

Stop them!
Let's get to the bottom of the ninth!

-Out counts.
-Get them.

He pulls it in.

He pulls it in. The first baseman.
The second baseman catches.

Run quickly!

SAFE OR OUT?

The second baseman catches.

The pitcher covers the base.

The pitcher covered first.

Good one. Nice cover, Jun-hyeok.

Inha University's infielders show
great defense,

along with the pitcher, Cho Jun-hyeok.
A perfect play.

First off,
the second baseman caught the ball

that the first baseman missed.

Then the pitcher covered the base.

It's a well-trained team.

You're right.

Two outs, a runner on the third.

Lee Taek-keun is on the third.

2 OUTS, A RUNNER ON THE 3RD

And Yoon Jun-h* is next.

WE MUST SCORE MORE NOW

Let's end it here! Strike him out!

I'LL STOP HIM NO MATTER WHAT!

He pushes it out down the mound,
and it rolls out.

-Hey!
-Great job!

Yoon Jun-h* creates a point
to relieve his team.

MONSTERS 7 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

This may become a decisive hit.

That was a precious one.

Yoon Jun-h* has done a great job.

Man.

Cho Jun-hyeok cannot get shaken now.

How will he stop this inning?

He must stop them from scoring.

This may be the last batter today.
Choi Soo-hyun is up.

He hits the pitch out. It flies up.

The outfielders gather.
The second baseman runs.

He catches. Three outs.

Seven to two, five points difference.

The Monsters will
begin their fielding shortly.

It's not over yet.

Even for the next time,

it's important to catch up by one or two.

Don't give up easily, okay?

-Yes.
-Let's go to the end.

Bring it in.

-The last inning.
-The last one.

Let's do this.

Just one point.

-Inha!
-Hey!

Three outs left. They must keep the lead

and break off the losing streak.

Song Seung-jun is on the mound.

He didn't look so well
during the game yesterday.

As we play again and again,

I'm starting to get scared
when I see them in pain.

-Yes, right.
-Yes.

None of the pitchers are
in perfect condition.

IT'S NOT EASY FOR THEM
TO KEEP IN GOOD CONDITION

-And outfielders, of course.
-Right.

Jeong Keun-woo isn't well,
so he's out of the game.

Seo Dong-wook is the second baseman.

And Lee Seung-yuop is on the first,

so no more designated hitters.

It's fine!

Song Seung-jun gets on the mound
to win this game

despite this unfortunate situation.

SEUNG-JUN IS UP

The first batter is Park Min-hyeong.

BATTER 4, PARK MIN-HYEONG

Let's play to the end.

-Play to the end.
-Go out!

-Let's go!
-Let's make this happen.

-The first pitch comes in low.
-Swing.

The judgment is? No swing.

-Hey.
-Good.

-Ball.
-A big inning.

Get the runners out. You never know.

MONSTERS 7 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

Deep into the torso.

Seung-jun, hang in there.

-He's in pain.
-He has bad shoulders.

He wasn't well yesterday either.

-Get the runners!
-Go out!

Something kept popping
on my shoulders as I pitched.

I wasn't in good condition.

Two ba*ls. The third pitch is a ball too.

He has to keep the count up.

It's very dangerous
to let them gather runners.

He's not in normal condition now.

We can't help it if they hit.

But four ba*ls? That can't happen.

-Keep it up!
-Okay!

Keep it up!

MONSTERS 7 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

Three ba*ls.

It comes in deep. Four straight ba*ls.

This is something we've never seen
from Song Seung-jun.

This isn't good.

He's in pain.

Yesterday and today,

his condition is dragging him down.

It's a tough situation.

Right now, Rhee Dae-eun and Oh Ju-won
already pitched and went off.

Only Jang Won-sam

and Shim Soo-chang are left.

Let's get Shim Soo-chang up too.

Then I think we have a chance.

THE MONSTERS GET
SOO-CHANG READY TOO

Batter five, Hwang Seong-h*.

Get more runners, Seong-h*.

We need to get more runners.

MUST GET MORE RUNNERS OUT

No outs, a runner on the first.

But the fastball goes out.

The four-seam fastball
can't go out with a bounce.

-I see.
-He's not doing well right now.

Things seem insecure,
but Song Seung-jun must

cut off this flow.

MONSTERS 7 : 2 INHA UNIVERSITY

Okay.

It skips off the edge.

It hits the second baseman's arm.

THAT'S IT!

-Good one.
-Okay!

The ball skips off the bat
and across the field.

No outs, runners on the first and second.

Inha University begins to remember
how CK Monsters played

in the bottom
of the ninth inning yesterday.

It's just like yesterday.

YOU NEVER KNOW

It's just like yesterday,
but the other way.

It doesn't feel right.

THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH SEEMS GRAVE

It always happens in the ninth.

No outs, runners on the first and second.

Three outs to go, five points difference.

Let's go!

Three at-bats, one hit, Park Min-su.

Don't just hit everything. Just strikes.

We have a chance if Shim Soo-chang comes.

Get the runners!

We never know! Turn it around!

Seung-jun, we're five points ahead.
Put them out.

-You got this! Let's go!
-Okay!

Stop them, Seung-jun.

KEEP IT UP, SONG SAM-BONG…

HE HITS!

-Yes.
-Double. Yes.

-Okay.
-No.

-Come on.
-Oh no.

He hits. The shortstop catches.

The second base, to the first.

Two outs.

It's a 6-4-3 double play.

Song Seung-jun creates two outs

with just one pitch.

YES! THIS IS IT

-Nice!
-Good one!

Ryu Hyun-in catches, to Seo Dong-wook.

Then Manager Lee Seung-yuop ends the play.

That was a 6-4-3 double play.

THE WORST FOR INHA

This is the worst.

It's not easy.

Song Seung-jun easily made two out.

Only one out to go
to break the losing streak.

And if we win today's game,

we won't have to let anyone go
until our 20th game.

We can keep up our win percentage
until our 20th game.

Only one out to go.

Then we won't have to let anyone go
until our 30th game.

You're right.

I hope he gets the last out count.

I wanted to go out.

I wanted to save one.

He won't give me a chance.

Batter seven, the designated hitter,
Cha h*-chan.

Hit a home run, h*-chan.

I'M GOING TO END THIS GAME

It flies up high.

-Manager Lee Seung-yuop catches.
-Yes!

And the game ends.

CK Monsters break their losing streak.

They won't have to let anyone go
until the 20th game.

Great job.

-No one has to leave.
-We survived.

No one has to go.

Soo-chang, no one has to go.

I'm glad we can keep this team
until the end.

Yoo Hee-kwan's opening.

The message of Jung Eui-yoon's home run.

And Kim Moon-h* will
most likely become the MVP.

They almost became
too comfortable to lose games,

so breaking that streak was
also quite meaningful.

I did feel mad.

I really hate to lose.

So I was honestly mad,
angry, and frustrated.

We have the third match left,
so we'll come prepared

and make sure we play to win.

We'll win.

There's nothing for us to say when we lose

in baseball, in sports.

So we'll win the next game

and interview with a smile.

Our team will come prepared.

THE FINAL MATCH AGAINST INHA
WILL RETURN SOON

I pitched with my life.

MAJESTIC

-Good one.
-Am I not the MVP?

Moon-h*'s dolls are there.

There's the doll.

-We don't know.
-There's the doll.

-Look forward to it.
-I never got one since then.

THEY'RE ALREADY MURMURING

We successfully broke
the first losing streak we faced!

CONGRATS, BROKE THE LOSING STREAK

THEY FINALLY WIN AFTER 3 GAMES

Through today's victory,
we recorded 14 wins and 4 losses.

Gosh, that's amazing.

So until your 30th game,

you will keep this team as it is.

EVERYONE SURVIVES
UNTIL THE 30TH GAME!

-Yes!
-Okay!

It's great to win, but more than that,

I'm satisfied to know that
we'll keep this team until the 30th game.

Thank you.

IT'S A FESTIVAL

Now, the freeloaders. Any thoughts?

-He means you.
-Me?

I wanted us to win to find peace of mind,

but I think what saved us is

how we stayed alert throughout the game.

-"We"?
-We…

Not me.

Why don't you think it's you?

It's not me.

CUTS HIM OFF

(CHUCKLE…)

The ones who stopped the losing streak.
The MVP candidates.

Candidate one.

Despite the worst condition,
he began with a quality start, sphincter…

-Sphincter?
-Sphincter?

It's Yoo Hee-kwan!

-Hey.
-Nice job.

Great performance.

-Great performance.
-Great performance.

I came down with enteritis,

so I was worried if I could pitch well.

But the fielders made
four points in the beginning,

so it helped me pitch well on the mound.

Candidate two.

Five at-bats, zero hits.
But this man became a candidate.

The insane defender, Ryu Hyun-in.

HYUN-IN, WHO SHOWED A CRAZY DEFENSE

I couldn't bat well today,
so I focused on defense.

I'm glad I did one right.

He's good at defense.

Candidate three.

It took 18 games.

He prepared a team meal for 200 people,

the clean-up man of the Monsters,
Jung Eui-yoon!

EUI-YOON FINALLY HIT
HIS FIRST HOME RUN

Hey, Sun-woo!

NICE, A TEAM MEAL

He stuttered after he hit a home run.

It was a bet
Manager Lee had going with him.

Will Soo-chang win a game first

or will Jung Eui-yoon
hit a home run first?

Manager Lee won,

so as promised, Kim Sun-woo will buy

a team meal
for the entire production, 200 people.

A MEAL FOR 200 PEOPLE!

Two hundred?

-All right!
-Nice dinner.

-You'll need a loan.
-Don't tell your wife.

Sell your watch.

First off, I think it was the first time

Manager Lee showed me such a big smile.

A HUGE SMILE

It was great.

And I got to hit it here at Landers Field.

So it was quite meaningful for me.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS
ON YOUR FIRST HOME RUN

So I'm not the MVP?

The last MVP candidate.

(TRYING NOT TO LAUGH)

-Keep a straight face.
-Stop laughing.

It's as if he already won.

He's like that.

Four at-bats, four hits.

Five runs.

He has the top batting average
of the Monsters after today.

The man who looks
even more handsome today,

Kim Moon-h*!

MOON-h* WITH 4 HITS, 5 RUNS

So handsome.

He hit four hits on a day like this?

Your batting average went up to 0,378.

THAT'S A GREAT HITTER

He has the top batting average now.

THE BEST HITTER, KIM MOON-h*

Isn't it the highest in your career?

ISN'T IT THE HIGHEST IN YOUR CAREER?

Now, the MVP of the game
that broke the losing streak.

Let me announce.

I wonder who it is. I can't tell.

Two people?

Maybe two again.

It was tough to choose.

-I feel bad for one person.
-Really?

-Hee-kwan.
-Why do I feel like it's me?

The MVP is

a great hitter who had
four at-bats and four hits,

Kim Moon-h*!

TODAY'S MVP, KIM MOON-h*

SHOT DOWN

-Kim Moon-h*!
-Kim Moon-h*!

-Kim Moon-h*!
-Kim Moon-h*!

So I don't win
for not losing a point over six innings?

CONGRATULATIONS, MOON-h*

-Congrats.
-Thank you.

Why did you hit every time
when I hit a home run?

-Keep this right here.
-Yes.

I'm so mad. I might just go here.

Just poop here. Now.

It took me four months to stand here.

(DOESN'T CARE)

They were tough four months.

I'm sure becoming the MVP is
important for other seniors and juniors,

but to me, this is a very precious prize.

Before we begin, our captain mentioned
that we go back to our first attitude.

And going back to my first attitude

helped me play well today.

Si-u, Jae-yun, Daddy will
bring the dolls back.

You got his name wrong.

Jae-yun was named a little later.

Mr. Sphincter.

-Mr. Sphincter.
-Mr. Sphincter.

Mr. Sphincter, you do deserve
to win the MVP.

However, your previous performances
set the bar too high already.

So it'll take eight innings
without losing a point.

I agree.

Please do understand.

General Manager, a question.

We have six pitchers now.
For the next game,

can we have Kim Sun-woo on the mound?

Then can I not pay for the meal?

Come on.

-Good grief.
-He's a cheap man.

SERIOUS

The main writer shouts out.

I think Kim Sun-woo should
stay as a commentator.

And the team dinner.

It's on me.

-Really?
-It's on me.

He's saying you're cheap.

Most people would go, "No, it's on me."

I'M SAVED!

Ever since he hit the home run,

he lost his spirit.

General Manager, I feel like I can fly.

Do you want to split?

SHAKES HEAD

(CRYING FROM LAUGHING HARD)

NO, THANK YOU

The major leaguer.

And here's the next game.

Your match against Inha University
became one to one.

So of course,
we have to play the third match.

But Inha University must play
in the college league.

So next week, we don't have a game.

The weak after that,
those kids who are playing hard

in the US will return to Korea.

They're back?

We'll have our second round

against the U-18 National Team.

So? Does everyone want to get enteritis?

DO YOU WALL WANT ENTERITIS?

I was happy to win today,
but I'm depressed now.

Why do you want to avoid
the U-18 National Team so badly?

You can win. Right, Manager Lee?

No.

We should. We should win now.

But I'm really worried

now that you say it's in two weeks.

I'm worried.

THINGS SEEM GLOOMY

Let's gather around and go home.

-Yes, Moon-h*.
-You do it.

You were the best player today.

-Thank you.
-Just today.

We'll begin a winning streak after today.

Let's go.

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

LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!

Didn't I play well? Didn't I?

18 GAMES 14 WINS 5 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE .778

A STINGER FROM THE FUTURE

SOUND OF A BALL BEING HIT

MANAGER KIM SUNG-KEUN TRAINS BATTERS
19 MINUTES AFTER ARRIVAL

Hit it hard.

THE TARGET IS CAPTAIN TAEK,
STILL THE WORST BATTER IN THE FUTURE

You should keep hitting like this.

That's it.

JEONG KEUN-WOO IS DYING

Keep doing this practice.

FROM NOW ON, KEEP DOING THIS PRACTICE!

He's panting already.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN DO MUCH

YES, SO CATCH YOUR BREATH
AS YOU HIT!

Try to hit this part.

Like that.

STUMBLE

JUST k*ll ME…

Do that practice.

-For when it comes closer to your body.
-Yes.

How old are you? Forty?

I'll be 45 next year.

-It must be tough.
-Yes.

We first met 21 years ago.

-Right.
-Yes.

It's been that long already.

PANTING

LOOKING FOR HIS NEXT TARGET

(3 SECONDS UNTIL HE CALLS)

(2 SECONDS UNTIL HE CALLS)

(1 SECOND UNTIL HE CALLS)

Where's Jeong Keun-woo?

THE SECOND MATCH AGAINST TEAM KOREA

I THINK WE COULD WIN

IT WON'T BE EASY FOR THEM TODAY

He hits.

THE NEW AND IMPROVED
MONSTERS ARE BACK

It flies out, falls, and rolls

next to the third baseman.

KEUN-WOO'S HIT LETS THEM LEAD THE GAME

-Nice play!
-Yes!

The shortstop catches! To first base!

THEIR PLAY BREAKS TEAM KOREA'S SPIRIT

BUT THEY'RE UP AGAINST TEAM KOREA

THEY FACE THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL PITCHER,
KIM SEO-HYEON, ONCE AGAIN

Throw with confidence!

A KNUCKLEBALL?

That was a knuckleball without any spin.

TEAM KOREA FINDS THEIR RHYTHM AGAIN

THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE

It goes center-right. He fails to catch.

TEAM KOREA CORNERS THEM

-He swings.
-What is this?

He draws the bat in.

The third baseman misses.

NO ONE CAN TELL
HOW THIS GAME WILL END

WHICH TEAM WILL
TAKE THE VICTORY IN THE END?
