A Clean Sweep: Season 1, Episode 13 script (2024)

A CLEAN SWEEP

1 OUT, BASES LOADED

IF THEY SCORE 1 POINT,
THEY'LL WIN BY THE MERCY RULE

YOON JUN-HO IS AT BAT

BE AGGRESSIVE!

LET'S END IT, JUN-HO

DON'T LET THEM SCORE EVEN 1 POINT

Jun-ho, do it.

He needs to throw
his most confident pitch.

One out, bases are loaded.

HE HITS!

A HIT CUTS
ACROSS 2ND BASEMAN AND SHORTSTOP

THAT WAS NUTS, JUN-HO

JUN-HO BROUGHT
ABOUT THE 2ND CALLED GAME

BUGIL 0 : 10 MONSTERS

TOO BAD

THE MONSTERS WIN THE 1ST MATCH
AGAINST BUGIL WITH A CALLED GAME

-Good game.
-Good game.

-Good job.
-Well done.

I felt dejected.

My pride was hurt. I was very angry.

The opposing batters were strong
as expected.

THE MONSTERS ARE STRONG

A VIDEO WAS SENT
TO THE PRODUCTION CREW THE NEXT DAY

WE'RE CURRENTLY TRAINING AT NIGHT

WEIGHT TRAINING AT NIGHT

HIGH-INTENSITY TRAINING
TO REDEEM THEMSELVES

THEY DEDICATED THEMSELVES
TO TRAINING ONLY

BUGIL ACADEMY PREPARED FOR 3 DAYS

Go!

THE ACE IS TRAINING HARD TOO

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE 2ND MATCH?

SUWON KT WIZ PARK

-Go.
-Go.

This time, I'm going to win
no matter what.

We'll crush them in the second match.

We won't go easy on them
like we did last time.

So they better be ready.

I'll use the winning strategy.

They won't be able to beat us easily
like last time.

BUGIL'S ULTIMATE WEAPON,
KIM HWI-GEON

I'm always confident.

I'll show them in the second match.

KIM HWI-GEON, BUGIL'S ACE

HOME TEAM'S MANAGER'S OFFICE

This is bad. We need to end it today.

Can you hit normally?

SERIOUS ATMOSPHERE IN THE MANAGER'S OFFICE

I just have to put up with the pain.

-Endure it?
-Yes.

-That's…
-I'm really sorry.

-It's okay.
-I never expected this would happen.

Why did you do that?

-We're in deep trouble.
-Is that so?

In the previous game,
Seong-hoon slid and hurt his tailbone.

-Did he hurt it?
-A little bit. It's a bruise.

I was shocked
because he's our DH, the fourth hitter.

SEONG-HOON WAS TODAY'S 4TH HITTER

Actually, I didn't think
Eui-yoon was ready yet,

so I didn't include him.

But I'll have to redo the lineup.

I'll come up with another starting lineup.

I'll do a new one.

We'll have to go with this.

-Not with the one I sent you.
-Okay.

CK MONSTERS

You changed the starting lineup.
It'll cause quite a stir.

WHAT IMPACT WILL
THE NEW LINEUP HAVE…

-He wants to continue with the flow.
-That's…

-Hello.
-Hello.

Ju-won.

Goodness.

(CHECKING…)

Why did you sigh as soon as you got here?

Well…

What kind of team is this?

I'm tired.

I'll announce the starting lineup first.
Today's starting pitcher is Oh Ju-won.

Ju-won.

STARTING PITCHER OH JU-WON

-Ju-won.
-I didn't know this.

He's back as the starting pitcher
after a 1,920-day hiatus.

That's almost five years.

-Can you say a few words?
-I won't let them score for five innings.

-For five innings?
-Yes.

HE SAYS HIS RESOLUTION CONFIDENTLY

I'll believe in you.

Because Hee-kwan got a shot today.

Seung-jun has a sore throat.

He isn't feeling well.

Soo-chang says he's sick.

He's sick, so he won't be able to pitch.

Seong-hoon is hurt today too.

Is this a medical show?

When we play after two weeks,

you complain because you lose your touch.

When it's three days,
too many of you are injured.

We have no pitchers
for consecutive matches.

What do you want me to do?

YOU'RE DRIVING ME NUTS!

The original starting lineup for today

has been scrapped.

Today, I came up with a new lineup

with new players.

Number one, second baseman,
Jeong Keun-woo.

Yes, sir.

Number two, shortstop, Ryu Hyun-in.

Yes, sir.

Number three, left fielder,
Park Yong-taek.

Yes, sir.

-Nice game.
-I'll play defense.

Number four.

THE 4TH HITTER IN QUESTION

Is he back?

RETURN OF THE TRUSTED HITTER?

OR A NEW GREAT HITTER?

LOOKING AROUND

-Who is it?
-Yoon Jun-ho.

-What?
-What?

Yoon Jun-ho.

MANAGER LEE'S CHOICE,
CATCHER YOON JUN-HO

-Yes?
-Catcher.

Yes, sir.

Catcher as number four?

-Catcher as number four?
-Number four?

He's excited. Look at his face.

He has never been number four at Dong-eui.

-Never?
-I'm number eight in school.

SPEECHLESS

(SHOCKED)

-For real?
-Yes.

-He needs to think again.
-I made a mistake.

I chose him
because he made a walk-off hit.

-He has good energy.
-Yes.

-You can do it.
-You can do it.

-You'll start here.
-Yes, sir.

Number five, center fielder,
Lee Taek-keun.

Yes, sir.

Good.

Number six, DH, Jung Eui-yoon.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes.

-What?
-What?

-Did he get cut?
-What?

Seong-hoon was number four,

but he isn't feeling well.

It's Eui-yoon's comeback game.

Being number four will
put too much pressure on him.

I want you to relax and hit comfortably
without feeling any pressure.

-Yes, sir.
-Please understand.

Number seven, right fielder,
Seo Dong-wook.

Yes, sir.

Number eight, first baseman, Lee Hong-ku.

Yes, sir.

Number nine, third baseman, Choi Soo-hyun.

Yes, sir.

It's our tenth game today.

The general manager said that

there would be some changes

if our winning percentage drops.

He said he could make changes

after every tenth game.

So please note
that today's game is important.

Let's play against Bugil well

and beat them today.

Let's win and meet the next opponent.
That's all.

THE ONLY GOAL IS TO WIN

2 HOURS UNTIL THE GAME

That was too late.

That ball was fast.

Do I go like this?

You have to look at it like this.

Up. Too late.

It's too late, so you're in a hurry,
and it gets short.

Yes, sir.

-You have to go like that at least.
-Yes, sir.

Use your pelvis and abs.

That's it.

Jun-ho can swing.

ANOTHER TEACHER, MANAGER LEE

-Watch the ball until the end.
-Yes, sir.

-It's okay to check the batted ball late.
-Yes, sir.

-Get your posture ready first.
-Fast.

That's it. Good.

A SHORT BREAK AFTER WARM-UP

I'm really hungry.

-What's this smell?
-Is it fried chicken?

-Let's eat.
-What is this?

A WILD BEAST(?) INVADES THE ROOM

-Fried chicken?
-Fried chicken.

-It's fried chicken.
-What's going on?

This is awesome.

Last time, you won by the mercy rule
without losing any points,

so we prepared this. Enjoy.

THANK YOU

Thank you.

-Jeez.
-There are only drumsticks.

They're all chicken legs.

-It's nice.
-So we don't need to fight.

There's no need to fight over drumsticks.

-Really?
-Usually, there are only two.

-Enjoy.
-Enjoy.

VARIOUS BASEBALL-LIKE CHEESE BALLS

-They serve drumsticks only, right?
-Yes.

-They usually have only two drumsticks.
-This is the best.

The drumstick is so chewy.

CHOMPING

The chicken leg is so tender.

It's good.

Seung-jun, you can even pick
chocolate flavor or cheese flavor.

-This is like a team dinner.
-You can choose.

They're both good.

-Do you like it?
-It's fried.

It must not be tasty for you.

If the food is good,
people don't talk when they eat.

You talk too much.

YOU'RE SPEECHLESS WHEN THE FOOD IS GOOD

QUIETLY DEBONING(?) THE CHICKEN

-It's good.
-Nice.

The manager ate
this whole pack of cheese balls.

We should eat a lot and cheer up.

The chocolate-flavored one is good.

-It's good.
-It's really good.

LET'S GO FOR A CLEAN SWEEP!

They lost ten to nothing.

Bugil Academy's pride has been hurt.

They'll face the Monsters
with determination to win.

Hello.

Today is the second match
between CK Monsters and Bugil Academy.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with us.

-Hello.
-Hello.

It was ten to nothing.

Though CK Monsters are made
of the strongest players,

I never thought they'd win ten to nothing.

The high school players
prepare a lot for the game,

but the Monsters get stronger
as they play more games.

So the high school team can't win
unless it comes up with a good plan.

We'll focus on today's game
so we can go to the third match.

We'll do our best
to say goodbye to Bugil Academy.

Our goal is to win no matter what.

BATTLE BETWEEN SPEAR AND SHIELD

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

-Let's go.
-Go.

If you lose, you'll all shave your heads.

-Yes, sir.
-Got it?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

-Bugil!
-Let's go!

-Bugil! Let's go and win!
-Bugil! Let's go and win!

WE'LL WIN NO MATTER WHAT

BUGIL ACADEMY GOES TO PLAY DEFENSE

This is CK Monsters' lineup.

Number one, Jeong Keun-woo.
Number two, Ryu Hyun-in.

Number three, Park Yong-taek.

Number four, Yoon Jun-ho.
Number five, Lee Taek-keun.

Number six, Jung Eui-yoon.

Number seven, Seo Dong-wook.
Number eight, Lee Hong-ku.

And number nine, Choi Soo-hyun.

It's interesting how Manager Lee
ordered the hitters.

Jung Eui-yoon came back today,

but he's not the fourth hitter.

Yoon Jun-ho is the fourth hitter.

That's right. That's how it should be.

It's right.
Jung Eui-yoon should be number six.

I think he'll do well today.

-He'll probably hit his first home run.
-Yes.

His batting average is .313,
but he hasn't hit a home run.

So Manager Lee placed him sixth today.

I don't know how that will work out.

It would be the most interesting point
regarding the lineup.

I think we have a good lineup today.

Yes.

I wonder how the game will play out.

The top of the first inning begins now.

One at a time. Don't push yourself.

FULL OF VENGEANCE

Along with Duksoo's Shim Jun-seok

and Seoul High School's Kim Seo-hyeon,

he's getting national attention.

-But he's only in his second year.
-He's in his second year.

He's Kim Hwi-geon
and he's in his second year.

He can throw over 150km per hour.
He's the starter today.

He just threw 146km/h.

Let's see if he throws 150km/h.

Will he really throw 150km/h?

NERVOUS

We have a fireballer too. Yoo Hee-kwan.

NON-THREATENING
IT'S HOT(?)

We have campfire-baller Yoo Hee-kwan
instead of a fireballer.

I wonder how the game will play out today.

The game will start
with the first batter Jeong Keun-woo.

His four-seam is powerful.

He hits the first pitch.

Shortstop goes after it. He caught it.

He throws it to first base.
Jeong Keun-woo sprints.

-It's a miss.
-Okay!

All right.

They make a mistake
and Jeong Keun-woo gets on first base.

GROANING…

-That's it!
-Okay!

Good.

(QUICKLY MAKES A STERN FACE)

He went after the ball quickly.

Moon Hyeon-bin is
on the youth national team.

Yes.

He covered a big area
and caught the ball well.

But the throw was a little off.

Still, he threw the ball very quickly.

Keun-woo got on first base
due to Bugil's mistake.

Now, batter two Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

Last time, Bugil paid a lot of attention

to Park Yong-taek.

-Yes.
-They said he was nothing.

They're scared of Ryu Hyun-in
and Yoon Jun-ho.

Bugil has to target the college students.

I see.

He's a good hitter.

I'LL GET THE GOOD HITTER OUT
NO MATTER WHAT

-A dropping pitch.
-He didn't swing.

-Nice ball.
-It's okay.

He could've swung at that pitch.

But Hyun-in just watched the ball.

Yes.

-Outside.
-Nice.

-Hyun-in is getting stronger as he plays.
-Yes.

It's an outside high ball.
Again, he didn't swing.

Kim Hwi-geon looks unhappy.

HYUN-IN'S GOOD EYE FLUSTERS HWI-GEON

It goes close to the body. Four balls.

HYUN-IN WALKS TO FIRST BASE

GOOD EYES!

Manager Lee Sang-kun

-is definitely angry.
-Of course.

A runner is in a scoring position.

MONSTERS 0 : 0 BUGIL

It's the hitter who gave the Monsters
victory last time.

MVP Park Yong-taek is at bat.

A RESONANT HIT!

It flies over to the right field.
To the fence!

HOME RUN TAEK IS BACK

SHOWING OFF

A three-run homer!

Number two home run hitter
of the Monsters.

Let's make the runners advance.

Kim Hwi-geon hasn't thrown a strike yet.

NOBODY CAN ADVANCE

He hits!

He hits! The ball flies to the right.

-Tag up.
-Tag up.

-Together.
-Tag up.

Tag up. Together.

It flies up high.
Right fielder spots the ball.

-He waits and catches it.
-Throw it!

-Stop!
-Hey!

First base runner comes back.

-Second base runner.
-Go!

Second base runner goes to third base.

Keun-woo makes it one out,
runners on first and third bases.

KEUN-WOO SAFELY GETS ON 3RD BASE

First base runner couldn't go.

Yong-taek looks unhappy.

But he was able to send
Keun-woo to third base.

One out. Runners on first and third bases.

Now Yoon Jun-ho is at bat.
It's his first time

being the fourth hitter with the Monsters.

He's a player to be wary of.

-He is.
-Look.

He erased Lee Hong-ku.

He erased Jung Eui-yoon.

He was chosen by Manager Lee.

Don't say "erased."

-But it's true.
-It's too…

It means that Jun-ho is trusted

by Manager Lee and the other players.

The fourth hitter has to hit a fly ball

-like Park Yong-taek just did.
-Yes.

He has to make
the third base runner score a point.

A little lighter, Hwi-geon.

This is it!

IF HE DOESN'T STOP THIS HITTER,
THE MONSTERS WILL SCORE

One out. Runners on first and third bases.

Will the fourth hitter Yoon Jun-ho
take advantage of this chance?

HE HITS!

He hits. Center-right.

It falls clean.

-That's it!
-That's it!

Go to third base!

-Go!
-Go to third base!

-Go!
-Home plate.

He reaches home plate.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 BUGIL

PANTING…

The fourth hitter Yoon Jun-ho
makes a timely hit

and lets the team score.

This is what the fourth hitter should do.

Fourth hitter.

YOON JUN-HO IS
OUR FOURTH HITTER!

Fourth hitter!

We haven't had a fourth hitter before.

Jun-ho clearly showed
what the fourth hitter should do.

He hit and pleased Manager Lee perfectly.

One out. Runners on first
and third bases again.

The fifth hitter Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

Since A Clean Sweep started,

I've been reading baseball fans'
and communities' comments.

Most of them are asking
Taek-keun to return to the league.

He made a hit for nine consecutive games.

If he makes a hit today,
it will be ten consecutive games.

A REQUEST FOR TIMEOUT?

WHAT IS IT?

(EXAMINING THE SITUATION)

There shouldn't be a drone there.

-The camera.
-Drone.

-There shouldn't be a drone there.
-The camera.

-Drone.
-He's on edge.

TAEK-KEUN IS FOCUSED ON SCORING

He's on edge.

(SCARED…)

He might hit the drone.

NOW, IT'S READY

You have to hit no matter what.

NO MORE EXCUSES

I'M ABOUT TO MAKE A HIT
10 GAMES IN A ROW

Let's go!

A BASE ON BALLS

It's high. Four balls again.

-Come on, DH.
-Nice.

Jeez.

So far, he made one mistake,
two sets of four balls, and one hit.

The starting pitcher Kim Hwi-geon
is getting himself in trouble.

You're getting hasty.

It's okay to let them score a point.
Throw it hard.

Push them down.

Will he be able to overcome the pressure?

It's Kim Hwi-geon.

Jung Eui-yoon, who lost
the fourth hitter position, is at bat.

He must be upset

because the order changed.

But now, he has to show
what everyone wants to see.

Eui-yoon was the fourth hitter
in eight games,

but he hasn't hit a home run yet.

One out. Bases are loaded.

Let's see which team takes
the winner's energy first.

We have to score a point here.

DESPERATE

-We have to score.
-We must score.

-Jeez.
-That's it.

What is it?

He hits. It's up high.

-Go.
-Catch it.

-Slowly.
-Go.

CATCHER RUNS!

Foul territory.
Catcher and first baseman follow it.

The catcher moves and catches the ball.
Lee Seung-hyeon.

BUGIL FINALLY GETS ANOTHER OUT
WITH ALL THE BASES LOADED

JEEZ…

While Kim Hwi-geon faltered,

catcher Lee Seung-hyeon got an out.

If we don't score, it won't be good.

WE MUST SCORE
WHEN THE BASES ARE LOADED…

He couldn't get on base.

-Next time.
-It's okay.

-You have to get on base.
-He'll get a chance.

It's okay

EUI-YOON WASN'T ABLE TO HELP
THE TEAM SCORE AGAIN

One out until the bottom half.

With the bases loaded,
will Dong-wook do something for the team?

The Monsters can't finish this inning
with one point.

Of course not.

The seventh hitter is at bat.

It would be a great shame

-if they finish with one point.
-It would be.

-Yes.
-Yes.

-It goes far and out. It's a strike.
-Strike.

-Okay.
-Nice ball.

NICE HWI-GEON!

The fastball came in very sharply.

-It's over.
-It was fast.

NO…

-The speed keeps going up.
-It's 145km/h.

It's 145km/h.

Pitcher Kim Hwi-geon is throwing 145km/h.

Okay.

ONE STRIKE UNTIL THE BOTTOM HALF

Throw a strike!

One more strike!

The count is favorable to the pitcher.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 BUGIL

CAN HE OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?

It's far and high. It's a ball.

Hwi-geon throws with confidence.
It's good.

He should throw a short, dropping…

I think it's time to throw a splitter.

But he's good at throwing cutters,
so we'll see.

Will the Monsters' hitters figure it out?

-The ball drops.
-It's a splitter.

2 BALLS

IT'S A SPLITTER AS EXPECTED…

How did Dong-wook hold back on this?

It was a killer pitch.
He didn't throw this previously.

It was a killer pitch.

Dong-wook held back on this.

Hwi-geon seems disappointed.

HE HELD BACK ON THIS…

-Good eyes.
-Good job!

-Good job!
-You can't fool him.

He wasn't fooled.

-He wasn't.
-He wasn't fooled by the splitter.

Dong-wook watched the ball
and made the count two and two.

MONSTERS 1 : 0 BUGIL

What will it be?

It's far and out.

The umpire didn't raise his hand.

It's a full count.

Dong-wook has a really good eye.

How can he discern the balls so well?

The pitcher wouldn't know what to do.

He doesn't even swing the bat.

Look at him go.

HE'S TOO GOOD…

LAUGHING

It's a full count
and the bases are loaded.

Kim Hwi-geon versus Seo Dong-wook.

ONLY ONE PITCH LEFT

There's only one pitch left.

-We have to score.
-We have to score!

He shook his head twice.

He sent a sign.

It's far and out. Four balls.

NICE!

It's the third set of four balls.

Pitcher Kim Hwi-geon let them
score another point.

SCORED WITH A BASE ON BALLS

The Monsters make the score two to zero.

MONSTERS 2 : 0 BUGIL

The count was unfavorable to Dong-wook.

But he held back and got a base on balls.

That's right.

Jun-ho on third base, Taek-keun on second,
and Dong-wook on first.

Now, the eighth hitter
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

He is scary these days.

-Let's score one more point.
-Hong-ku, hit it.

1 BALL

He held back.

Today, the Monsters
aren't swinging their bats much.

You're right.

What changed?

(GOING NUTS…)

What's wrong?

MOON HYEON-BIN: WHAT'S WRONG…

The hitters wouldn't swing
at the pitches out of the strike zone.

They wouldn't.

-Hwi-geon, it's okay.
-Okay.

MONSTERS 2 : 0 BUGIL

It's another low one. Four balls.

NICE JOB, HONG-KU

COLLAPSES…

-Well…
-This is terrible. Don't do this.

SCREAMING!

Seriously.

THE MONSTERS DOMINATE THE MOOD

Four sets of four balls
in the first inning.

The score is now three to zero.

-Let's go, Soo-hyun.
-The Monsters take over the mood.

The ninth hitter Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.

In the previous game, he had three hits.

Before that, he had zero hits
in five at-bats.

After having three hits,

-his batting average is .429.
-Right.

HE HAD HIS FIRST HIT
SINCE HE JOINED THE TEAM

AND EVEN HAD MULTI-HITS
DURING THE PREVIOUS MATCH

HE HIT!

A TIMELY 3-BASE HIT!

HIS BATTING SKILL IS IN THE PRIME

-He can go for a hit here.
-Yes.

Two outs with all the bases loaded.
Can he do his job?

You have to hit at all costs.

YONG-TAEK

He hits!

It's a good hit.
It's a clean, center-right hit.

-Run!
-Nice batting!

-Run!
-Okay!

CONQUERING THE FIELD!

Third and second base runners reach home.

-They reach home!
-Hurry up!

-Run!
-First base runner runs to home plate.

The ball rolls to the fence.

-Throw it to home plate.
-Throw it!

Run!

All runners reach the home plate.
A three-point hit.

Soo-hyun gets on third base.

That's the ninth hitter of the Monsters,
Choi Soo-hyun.

A TIMELY 3-BASE HIT!

CHOI SOO-HYUN IS THE BEST!

He's good.

PLEASED

He's good.

What was all that?

WHAT IS THIS? WOW…

He's formidable.

SOO-HYUN IS FORMIDABLE!

Jeez.

THE MONSTERS CRUSH BUGIL
FROM THE START

ASTONISHED

Soo-hyun just had a 3-point hit.

The score is six to nothing.

He truly is formidable.

-Good eyes.
-Good job.

-Good eyes.
-You're good.

-Good eyes.
-Nice.

Timeout.

-It's okay, Hwi-geon.
-Yes, sir.

-Batters hitting your pitches is natural.
-Yes, sir.

-It happens, right?
-Yes, sir.

TAKEN ABACK…

Good job.

-You threw a lot.
-Manager Lee Sang-kun

replaces the trusted pitcher
Kim Hwi-geon in the first inning.

Pitcher Kim Beom-geun
takes the mound next.

As we saw in the first round,
he throws good changeups and sliders.

Did Yong-taek hit a home run against him?

Yes.

Two outs. A runner on third base.

All the hitters have batted,

so Jeong Keun-woo is at bat again.

-The ball bounced!
-He's coming in!

Third base runner runs home!

WHAT'S HAPPENING…

Hey, stop.

-The ball bounced!
-He's coming in!

MAKING A RUN FOR IT

GET HIM BEFORE HE REACHES HOME!

-The ball bounced!
-He's coming in!

Third base runner runs

-and reaches home plate!
-Safe!

MONSTERS 6 : 0 BUGIL

MONSTERS 7 : 0 BUGIL

SOO-HYUN HAS DONE IT!

-Jeez.
-He's good.

CHOI SOO-HYUN, YOU REALLY ARE…

CK Monsters are totally
crushing Bugil in the first inning.

THE MONSTERS ARE CRUSHING BUGIL

The Monsters are playing
a calm kind of baseball.

They're after the opponent's weakness.

-They haven't done this before.
-No.

Hong-ku, be ready.

FIRST BASE RUNNER IS TAKING A LEAD

He's against the seventh hitter,
Hong Jun-seo.

He's choking up on the bat for a bunt.

-He bunts the ball, it's flying!
-Dive!

He bunts the ball, it's flying!

FOUL

It's a foul.

He dove when he was playing for Dong-eui.

Is Jun-ho holding back?

He flew around
when he was playing for Dong-eui.

I CAN'T DO THINGS I USED TO DO
IN A DIFFICULT GAME

If he caught the fly ball just now,

it could've been bad for Bugil.

If the ball didn't fly and it was in play,

it would've been a double play.

He's still choking up on the bat
on strike one.

-It flew backward again.
-Yes.

This means two strikes for him.

UNFAVORABLE COUNT FOR BUGIL

This is good! Let's go!

You got this!

He changed his grip
back to hitting stance.

Hong Jun-seo going for a hit
when it's two strikes.

SWING AND MISS
STRIKEOUT

Swing and a miss! Strikeout!

This is Oh Ju-won's
fourth strikeout today.

-He's finally warmed up.
-I know, right?

You take too long to warm up.

Next up is the eighth hitter,
Lee Jin-yong.

You can hit this!

HITS THE FIRST PITCH!

He pulls and swings!
Right fielder runs forward.

-Run forward!
-Run!

He pulls and swings!
Right fielder runs forward.

He catches it!

Seo Dong-wook catches it
for the second out.

This is going great.

-Nice pitch!
-Great job, pitcher!

Kim Gi-chan, the ninth hitter, is up next.

The previous inning
when the lead-off was on a base,

Bugil managed to score a run.

What's important is that

because Oh Ju-won is
going to be traded out,

he must wrap up the inning here.
He doesn't want the lead-off to come.

That's right.

I CAN END THE INNING
IF I PITCH ONE MORE OUT

Swing and miss, strikeout!

This is his fifth strikeout.

-Oh Ju-won.
-Nice pitch!

The bottom of the lineup
couldn't overcome Oh Ju-won.

Gather around.

MONSTERS, GATHER!

The pitcher changed.

We got seven runs in our first inning
and the hitters are getting on bases,

but I think we lost focus a bit
because we're in the lead.

But slowly, Bugil caught up three runs.

If we keep playing without focus,

and they keep catching up,
we may end up losing.

So let's get ourselves together
and slowly run ahead.

-Okay?
-Yes, sir.

-Come on!
-Let's do this!

This is the fifth inning.
Monsters are on the offense.

And Bugil changed their pitcher.

Kim Seo-hyeon in his first year
takes the mound.

He is seen as the future of Bugil

with magnificent control of his pitches.

Gosh, he throws well.

What a pitch.

It's okay if they hit it,
just be aggressive.

First up this inning is
the fourth hitter Yoon Jun-ho.

-Let's go, Jun-ho!
-You got this!

MONSTER'S YOUNG GUN
VS BUGIL'S YOUNG GUN

HE HITS!

To the right. He drops the ball!

He drops it.

Thanks to that, Yoon Jun-ho gets on first.

THE LUCKY MAN

YOU SHOULD'VE CAUGHT THAT…

The ball was spinning
because it hit the tip of the bat.

-Those kinds of hits rarely happen.
-Right.

When a hitter makes a hit like that,

the game works out for them.
That's Yoon Jun-ho for you.

Lee Taek-keun is up next.

THE 5TH BATTER, LEE TAEK-KEUN

They're planning.

-He's giving signs.
-Come on!

Even though there is a score difference,

Lee Taek-keun is going for a bunt.

The Monsters seem to be determined
to score a run.

THEIR WILL TO SEND SOMEONE
TO SCORING POSITION

SLASH BUNT

BALL

Seo-hyeon, face him head-on.

Seo-heyon, you're playing well!

Let's score this time.

HE HITS!

A FLY BALL TO THE LEFT

He popped it up, it's a fly ball.

Left and center. Left fielder is waiting.

He sidesteps and catches.

SILENCE…

Next up is Jung Eui-yoon.

It goes outside.

Stay relaxed.

Don't be tensed up just
because you're up against pros.

Just relax.

SEO-HYEON IS STILL NERVOUS

Another ball outside.

3 BALLS

-He picks out the ball.
-He doesn't swing.

That was a payoff pitch.

Seo-hyeon, don't be afraid
of giving them a hit.

FACE HIM HEAD-ON

Just face him head-on with a good pitch.

Seo-hyeon is still failing
to pitch a strike out of Jung Eui-yoon.

THE COUNT FAVORS THE HITTER

-A changeup.
-The ball came too low.

Good eyes.

Jung Eui-yoon walks to first
with a base on balls.

Timeout.

Manager Lee Sang-kun is
on his way to the mound.

-You're a bit nervous against them, right?
-No, sir.

-Let's trade with Jin-seok. Good job.
-Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Choi Jin-seok takes the mound this time.

He's a southpaw who pitches over 140km/h.

And many appraise his sliders,

saying that they're
at a professional level.

And up next is the seventh hitter
Seo Dong-wook.

The ball bounces off!

The runners are able to advance
a base each.

There are two runners
in the scoring position.

The reason he threw a wild pitch is
that he desperately wants

-to strike Seo Dong-wook out.
-I see.

But you know what?

The name "Seo Dong-wook" made this happen.

THE PRESSURE OF HIS NAME

Choi Jin-seok is determined
to play this game

without feeling nervous
against retired professionals.

Be bold!

But it's another wild pitch,
resulting in a walk.

The bases are loaded. It's a chance.

Next up is Lee Hong-ku.

8TH HITTER LEE HONG-KU

Hong-ku usually does well here.

Hong-ku, hit it to the outfield!

-Yun-u!
-Yun-u, step back!

-Go back more!
-Come on.

I HAVE TO MAKE THIS ONE HAPPEN

Swing and a miss. Strikeout!

Come on!

ANOTHER CHANCE GONE FOR MORE RUNS

Two outs now.

Choi Jin-seok puts out the fire
with a strikeout.

Now he has one out left.

The ninth hitter, Choi Soo-hyun is up.

9TH HITTER CHOI SOO-HYUN

The Monsters didn't score any runs
since the second.

Right. That's why
they have to score more runs.

They are starting to feel anxious.

Soo-hyun, let's make it happen.

CHOI SOO-HYUN'S SINGLE HIT
IS DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR MONSTERS

HE HITS THE FIRST PITCH

A FLY BALL!

-Catch it!
-Catch!

Oh, no.

-He makes contact. It's a fly ball.
-Oh, no.

-It's flying into foul territory.
-No!

The catcher chases it down and catches it.

The inning ends.

-Darn it.
-Please no!

All base runners left on all bases.

After getting seven runs in the first,
the Monsters haven't come home

in the second, third, fourth,
and even the fifth inning.

The score is still seven to three.

Something just doesn't feel right.

I thought they took the momentum
of the game when we couldn't score.

I assumed that
it would be a difficult game.

I thought it was going to be tough today.

-Number 11, Rhee Dae-eun.
-Number 11?

-Rhee Dae-eun.
-Okay.

This is the bottom of the fifth.
Manager Lee trades Oh Ju-won out

for Rhee Dae-eun.

HE TAKES THE MOUND
WHEN THEY ARE BEING CHASED DOWN

This is his sixth time taking the mound
as CK Monsters.

-I'm certain now.
-About what?

That he's got the feel of it now.

-I hope he proves that on the mound.
-I agree.

The first hitter Kim Ji-hwan leads off.

Dae-eun, show them what you've got!

PITCHES OUTSIDE
STRIKE

The first pitch is a strike.

The velocity of the ball was 142km/h.

THAT VELOCITY WAS NUTS
OH, MY GOODNESS…

Finally.

The Rhee Dae-eun we want is back.

-You're finally back!
-Let's do this, Dae-eun!

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

-Strike!
-Strike two.

A good count for the pitcher.

Gosh, 143km/h.

Why are you surprised?
You used to do that too.

What?

But it's been a while since we had
a pitch like that on our team.

It's surprising.

The momentum completely shifted.

Rhee Dae-eun with a good count.

-You can do this!
-You can hit it!

Come on!

He pitches outside
and strikes him out looking.

One out.

First strikeout for Rhee Dae-eun
in this game.

Nice pitch!

WHAT A STRONG PITCHER…

Baseball is easy when you pitch like this.

SO EASY AND RELAXING

Next up is Kim Jong-u.

Jong-u, the ball comes fast.

Dae-eun, your senses are coming back.

HE HITS!

Hits the first pitch.
Right fielder moves for the fly ball.

Seo Dong-wook waits and catches the ball.

He gets his second out
with a single pitch.

The Bugil table setters aren't
your ordinary baseball players.

Kim Jong-u who went
two for two today is out

with a single pitch
and a fly ball on the right.

Like you said before about Rhee Dae-eun,

it's really worth
looking forward to his plays.

The third hitter, Ga Ye-chan, is up next.

-Let's get on a base!
-Come on!

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

Let's stop them.

HE GROANS

-He showed his four-seam.
-Swing and miss! Strikeout!

IMPRESSED…

-He's the best.
-The ball goes into the mitt

with a velocity of 141km/h.

Rhee Dae-eun shuts out the inning
against only three hitters.

TRIUMPHANT

-How did you do that?
-Nice.

-Good pitching.
-Nice pitch.

Good pitching.

You're back, Tae-sik.

-Don't you have a good feeling today?
-I do.

I'll pitch a strike for now.

HIS CONFIDENCE
SUDDENLY RISES TOO HIGH

This is the top of the sixth
with the Monsters on the offense.

Choi Jin-seok still takes the mound.

The Monsters didn't score any runs
since the first inning,

and if they don't come home this time,

the momentum may shift.

They only came home in the first inning,
and no runs since then.

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

Come on, Keun-woo!

You're the leadoff!

Let's get more runs.

Jeong Keun-woo doesn't have
a single hit in this game.

CURRENTLY THREE FOR ZERO
IN TODAY'S GAME

CAN HE PROVE HIMSELF THIS TIME?

HE HITS!

He makes contact.

-It goes far.
-To the left wall!

IS IT A HOME RUN?

It's gone. That was sick.

I think it's gone.

Goodness.

THIS CAN'T HAPPEN

He makes contact.

-It goes far.
-To the left wall!

It goes near the wall, but it stops there!

Left fielder catches Keun-woo's fly ball.

That wasn't a homer?

Keun-woo is disappointed.

He gets out with a fly ball
this time as well.

I thought it went over.

Thought that was a homer.

So close.

A home run could've given us
a perfect lead.

You have to be on your toes
for games like these.

I thought, "How should I play this out?"

NO RUNS SINCE THE FIRST INNING

Next up is Ryu Hyun-in, the second hitter.

Push that ball up!

CAN HYUN-IN CHANGE
THE FLOW OF THE GAME?

A tight ball.

-Good eye. Make sure you keep it up.
-Good job!

-Good eye!
-Nice.

Good eye.

He doesn't swing the low pitch.

Third pitch is a tight one too.

-Let's do this!
-It's three balls now.

UNFAVORABLE COUNT FOR THE PITCHER

Hyun-in's eyes and attitude
toward baseball has changed.

-Okay!
-The ball bounces.

He walks to first.
This is the third base on balls today.

Park Yong-taek is up on one out
with a runner on first.

CAPTAIN TAEK IN THE BATTER'S BOX

You got this, Captain.

Seung-hyeon!

(THE FIRST BASE RUNNER)

(HE MIGHT STEAL THE BASE)

(KEEP THAT IN MIND)

THIS IS THE CHANCE
WHEN THERE IS A RUNNER ON 1ST

The first pitch bounces off.

Go! Run for third!

SEONG-HOON: RUN OVER TO 3RD BASE!

-Third.
-Stop.

HYUN-IN IS IN A TAG-UP SITUATION

Throw it!

HE THROWS IT!

He connects the ball to second.

Second baseman catches the high throw.

A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION

He just did

-risky plays consecutively.
-He needs to take it slow.

BASEBALL IS ABOUT MOMENTUM
ABSURD ERRORS ARE UNACCEPTABLE

One out with a runner on second.

And it's full count.

The count is three and two.

Let's go!

The pitcher and the hitter don't have
any more counts to waste.

A low and out pitch.
Park Yong-taek picks it out.

NICE JOB, CAPTAIN

Two walks after an out.

Runners on first and second.

-Timeout.
-Timeout!

Manager Lee Sang-kun visits
the mound again.

-Well done, let's switch with Jun-ho.
-Yes, sir.

Good job.

Choi Jin-seok.

He comes down from the mound.

THE MANAGER THINKS
HIS JOB IS DONE HERE

Who will be the next pitcher?

Great work!

Choi Jun-ho.

5TH PITCHER CHOI JUN-HO
TAKES THE MOUND

-Jun-ho, welcome.
-Thank you, sir.

It's okay to give them hits,
just be aggressive.

Is it the fourth hitter?

Yes. The fourth hitter is the catcher.

He made a walk-off hit against you.

-Try to pitch him out.
-Yes, sir.

TRY TO PITCH HIM OUT!

He's better for you.

When it was a called game for Bugil,

Choi Jun-ho was the pitcher on the mound.

He was quite upset about it.

I wonder what kind of battle it will be
between these two players.

Next up is Yoon Jun-ho,
the fourth hitter in the lineup.

Let's go, Jun-ho!

WHAT KIND OF HIT
WILL HE SHOW US THIS TIME?

Jun-ho, it's about time you hit a big one!

It's about time!

Let's shut him out.

I'll pitch a strikeout this time.

To be frank, I was confident.

HOW WILL THIS BATTLE END?

It's a ground ball.

The shortstop couldn't catch it!

Go home!

-Go!
-Second base runner goes for home.

-Hey!
-He's coming home!

HE THROWS IT!

WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME?

Second base runner goes for home.

The ball connects home!

But Hyun-in comes home first!

WE SCORED AT LAST

-Number four hitter!
-You did it.

CK Monsters earn a run for the first time

after the first inning.

The score is eight to three.

It's fine. The hitter did well.

Nice. Hey,
you really remind me of my old days.

I totally agree.

You're like Jeong Keun-woo Junior.

Watching Yoon Jun-ho,

I really respect
Manager Lee Seung-yuop today.

He was bold enough to use Jun-ho
as the fourth hitter.

He's so cool!

Manager Lee made it possible
for Jun-ho to seem cool today.

One out with runners on first and second.

Lee Taek-keun is up next.

Lee Taek-keun has no hits today.

Can he continue his record of making hits

in nine consecutive games?

Let's go for a hitting streak.

-You can drag this onto the last count.
-I agree.

YOU CAN DRAG THIS ON

They keep going for the first pitch.

Relax.

You can do it!

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

-Okay!
-He pulls and swings!

A HIT THAT GOES THROUGH 3RD

It goes below the third baseman's glove.

Lee Taek-keun manages to make a hit
in today's game as well.

NICE, TAEK-KEUN

He makes hits in all ten games.

He makes consecutive hits
in all games with CK Monsters.

WOW… THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY

This is extraordinary.

He makes ten hits
in all ten games consecutively.

The bases are loaded now.

Park Yong-taek on third,
Yoon Jun-ho on second,

and Lee Taek-keun on first.

Jung Eui-yoon enters the box
on loaded bases.

6TH HITTER, EUI-YOON

Let's go for a big one hit!

The momentum will shift again
if we fail to make anything happen.

When there's a chance,
Jeong Eui-yoon is always up.

This is his time to show us
what he's made of.

HE HITS!

He makes contact. It's a fly ball.

AN AWKWARD LOCATION

2ND AND 3RD
GETTING READY FOR TAG UP

Three fielders gather around

-and the right fielder catches it.
-Go.

Park Yong-taek wasn't able to come home.

SIGH…

Things aren't working out
on full bases today.

-We just need one hit.
-I know, right?

The bases were loaded several times today.

EUI-YOON LOST 2 CHANCES TODAY

Eui-yoon is so disappointed right now.

It's now two outs due to a fly ball.

2 OUTS WITH ALL BASES LOADED

Seo Dong-wook is up next.

7TH HITTER DONG-WOOK IS IN THE BOX

So many stranded runners today.

We keep missing our chance
when the bases are full with an out.

THE BAT HITS THE BALL

-Darn.
-Hits the first.

-Up!
-Left side.

Left fielder moves backward.

RUNNERS SPRINT JUST IN CASE

Go slowly.

He catches the awkward fly ball

and wraps up the inning.

It was one out with bases full,
but they didn't score a run.

The score is eight to three.

This is the result of a lack of practice.

All right. Let's do this!

LET'S CATCH UP SLOWLY!

-We can win!
-Let's go!

THEY MOTIVATE THEMSELVES
TO COME FROM BEHIND

This could've been a called game.

-Right?
-Totally.

This is the bottom of the sixth
with Bugil on the offense.

Rhee Dae-eun still takes the mound.

RHEE DAE-EUN IS ON THE MOUND

Leading off with the fourth hitter,
Moon Hyeon-bin.

He's part of the youth national team.

Hyeon-bin, make this one happen.

-Let's go, Hyeon-bin!
-Let's go!

First pitch is a foul.

SO CLOSE…

OH…

His ability to contact is eye-catching.

He's tiny, but he swings very well.

He's on the youth national team.

He pushes the outside pitch. It's a foul.

He's a good hitter.

Rhee Dae-eun's job here is
to pitch a four-seam with full force.

MONSTERS 8 : 3 BUGIL

DAE-EUN GRIPS
FOR A FOUR-SEAM FASTBALL

WILL HE BE ABLE TO OVERCOME
HIS WILD PITCH?

Moon Hyeon-bin and Rhee Dae-eun.

Swing and a miss! Strikeout!

-Swing and a miss! Strikeout!
-Four-seam.

-This is it!
-The fastball was 142km/h.

And it gets Moon Hyeon-bin out.

Watch Dae-eun. He's back now.

-On CK Monsters, we have a player
-And it was a four-seam!

who pitches over 140km/h.

Like you said, Rhee Dae-eun is back.

THE FIREBALLER IS BACK

That was awesome.
He might as well be the starting pitcher.

He's 34 years old, man.
We were at our prime back then.

-We just need Soo-chang to come back now.
-Right.

Hey, he pitched four scoreless innings.

-Don't bully him.
-I'll try my best.

-Let's go for five scoreless innings.
-Yes, sir. I'll try.

-Oh, no.
-My goodness.

5TH HITTER KIM CHAE-UN'S AT BAT

The ball flies left
behind the left fielder.

-Gosh.
-Behind you.

OH MY…

It's gone.

The ball flies left
behind the left fielder.

It goes near the wall!

It hits the seat and bounces down.

-A solo home run by Kim Chae-un.
-Let's go!

It's a home run. It goes over the wall.

A SUDDEN HOME RUN
RATTLES THE MONSTERS

THAT WAS INSANE!

Come home!

KIM CHAE-UN'S SOLO HOME RUN

Go home!

Rhee Dae-eun allows a run
in a blink of an eye.

The score is eight to four now.

Gosh, what did Kim Chae-un
just do all of a sudden?

If we didn't score a run last inning…

I told you that a run is meaningful.

A HOME RUN BOOSTS BUGIL'S MOTIVATION

That…

That home run was out of the blue.

It was a two-seam.

The two-seam was pitched
inside and center.

CHAE-UN PULLED IN AND SWUNG IT
FOR A HOME RUN

I can't believe there was a player
with such power.

It makes such a big difference
to get a run.

They would be three runs behind
if we hadn't scored.

WE MUST NOT ALLOW ANY MORE RUNS

Next up is Lee Seung-hyeon.

We must be careful against him.

He went two for two this game.

I see.

-But he's a good hitter.
-Soo-chang, come on.

Seung-hyeon, let's go.

FIRST PITCH
FOUL

Bugil won't go down easily

like in the first game.

These guys must've trained at night a lot.

-Feels different from the last game.
-That swing was ferocious.

Following Kim Chae-un, who hit a home run,

Lee Seung-hyeon is in the box.

STRIKE

Nice forkball!

Look up.

DON'T GET TRICKED
AND SWING WHEN IT'S UP!

The count is zero and two.

MONSTERS 8 : 4 BUGIL

It's an outside pitch.

Strikeout.

Four strikeouts since he took the mound.

DAE-EUN TAKES IT SLOWLY

-Nice!
-This is how you do it.

Chae-un hit a home run against him,

but Rhee Dae-eun pitched perfectly
against the other hitters.

Next up is Kim Yun-u.

NEXT UP IS 7TH HITTER KIM YUN-U

I think we can catch up
if we score one more run.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.

It goes over Rhee Dae-eun, but it's slow.

Soo-hyun fields it and to first!
Bad throw to first!

-Quickly!
-To first!

KIM YUN-U GETS ON BASE
THANKS TO THE MISTAKE

Nice.

Two outs,
but a runner finally gets on base.

This shouldn't be happening.

THE MONSTERS ARE ANXIOUS ONCE AGAIN

-Just one more out!
-Two outs!

Next up is the eighth batter Lee Jin-yong.

One more out left.

Will Rhee Dae-eun be able
to shut out the inning here?

PLEASE JUST ONE MORE OUT…

He makes contact.
It goes between first and second.

-Come on!
-Nice.

Darn it.

HE'S FRUSTRATED

Keep running!

The slow ball goes between perfectly
into a good route.

Another runner gets on base
after two outs.

What's wrong with the game
all of a sudden?

Gosh, this is ominous.

The game is becoming weird.

Two outs with runners on first and third.

Rhee Dae-eun starts to break down
after his streak of good pitches.

If they are three runs behind,
it'll be hard to predict what'll happen.

Indeed. We won't know until the end.

it is very important for Bugil
to score a run right here, right now.

That's right.

Kim Gi-chan is up on two outs.

All nine fielders are focused.

Jun-ho, get ready!

Hey!

Second pitch drops far. To second base!

OUT?

-Nice catch.
-He's so fast.

-Go.
-Safe.

Second pitch drops far. To second base!

Tag on second!

SAFE

Umpire calls safe!

NICE, JIN-YONG

Jun-ho's throw couldn't stop
Jin-yong's nimble feet.

SO CLOSE

Two runners in scoring position.

-I think it's safe.
-What about you?

I think the runner's hand came in first.

I THINK HE'S SAFE…

It's totally safe. What's wrong?

The throw was spot on,
but he's really fast.

Two runners in scoring position.

2 OUTS WITH RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD

Can Rhee Dae-eun close out
the inning here?

Let's see how this battle turns out.

Make contact!

-Do it!
-Do what you like!

Let's stop them here!

-You have to pitch him out.
-Just him!

The runners will sprint
as soon as he makes contact.

That's right, and we are well aware
of the second base runner's speed.

-It's two outs, so they don't even need
-Let's go.

-to see if the ball is out.
-That's right.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.

Shortstop fields it and throws to first.

Out on first base!

The inning ends here!

Rhee Dae-eun stops them
from getting more runs.

-Nice!
-This is good.

Rhee Dae-eun only allowed a single run

and stops the rest
from going home this inning.

-Well done.
-Dae-eun, well played.

That was a really great move.

We're moving onto the seventh inning,
the latter half of the game.

We only have three innings left.

The inning starts with Lee Hong-ku.

He makes contact.
It flies to the center-right.

Right and center fielders come in.

They communicate.
Right fielder catches it.

FLY BALL CAUGHT BY RIGHT FIELDER
1 OUT

Choi Soo-hyun, the ninth hitter, is up.

The center-right.
Center fielder chases the ball.

Center fielder catches it!

Center fielder steals away
Choi Soo-hyun's hit.

Leadoff hitter, Jeong Keun-woo, is up.

Makes contact at the end of the bat.
It's slow.

Second baseman fields it.

Pitcher covers first base.

Three outs.

Choi Jun-ho shuts out

the Monster's offense for the seventh.

The game continues on
to the bottom of the seventh inning.

The pitcher is traded out
for Jang Won-sam.

I'll pitch like last time.

Just like last time.

If you just look at Jang Won-sam's ERA,

it's 1,42,

which is even lower
than Yoo Hee-kwan's ERA.

We're starting with the leadoff hitter,
Kim Ji-hwan.

-Let's get on base!
-Let's go!

I'm curious as to how they would do
against Jang Won-sam's pitches.

I am too.

He bunted the ball.

The catcher chases it, but it's too far.

Bugil's style of baseball just started.

-We only have three innings left.
-Right.

It looks like they started

tearing down the dam called the Monsters.

We have to put our expectations
on our 100-win pitcher.

That's right.

The ball is too high.

HE HITS IT THIS TIME!

He makes contact.

He goes to the outfield.

No!

CATCH IT

Where is the ball?

Seo Dong-wook.

He catches it. One out.

1 OUT

Jang Won-sam pitches a fly ball for an out

against the lead-off hitter.

KEUN-WOO: 1 OUT

Second up is Kim Jong-u.

Bugil's left-handed hitters are
continuing to center the box.

Oh Ju-won couldn't stop them.

-Right.
-How about Jang Won-sam?

Let's see how he does.

HOW WILL HE PITCH
AGAINST LEFT-HANDED HITTERS?

WON-SAM ALSO COULDN'T STOP THEM?

There you go.

Nice.

He makes contact. It goes to the outfield.

Center fielder moves to catch the ball.

-He knew where it would land.
-It was good though.

This looks like
a successful defensive shift.

Look at Lee Taek-keun.
He was already near the left.

DUE TO DEFENSIVE SHIFT
HE WAS ALREADY ON THE LEFT

Nice swing.

It's difficult to hit my sliders.

-Come on!
-Two outs with no runners.

Ga Ye-chan, who hit a double
is in the batter's box.

-Okay!
-There you go!

He hits the first pitch.

A hit through the center field.

A multi-hit game for him today.

HE EVEN OUTPLAYS WON-SAM'S PITCHES

I'm telling you, this guy is good
at hitting southpaw's pitches.

HE ALLOWED THE DOUBLE

It's the fourth hitter, Moon Hyeon-bin.

Right now, it's two outs.

But if Moon Hyeon-bin makes a hit,

the home run hitter Kim Chae-un is ready.

I see, that's right.

We're winning, but something feels iffy.

-Let's cheer up.
-All right.

Two outs with a runner on first.

HE MUST STOP CHAE-UN

MONSTERS 8 : 4 BUGIL

-Let's go!
-Focus!

HE HITS!

It's a fly ball. It goes center-right.

-Darn.
-This may be a homer.

IN THE 2-OUT SITUATION, HE SPRINTS

Right and center fielders chase it.

They can't catch the ball.

JEEZ!

-Keep going!
-Go!

To third base!

-Go home!
-Run home!

First base runner sprints home.

MONSTERS 8 : 5 BUGIL

Hey.

-What is he doing?
-He drops the ball.

The runner can get to third.

And he does!

LET'S TURN THE TABLES AROUND

ONLY 3 POINTS AHEAD NOW

This is bad. It's eight to five.

He's on third base.

-What did you say?
-He's on third.

I hate these kinds of games.

It feels like you're not in control,
although you're winning.

Why didn't they catch it?

-It wasn't called.
-Darn it.

It was difficult to call for it.

-What?
-It was difficult to call.

IT WAS A HARD BALL TO CALL

I have a bad feeling.

And now the batter
who hit a home run before enters the box.

THEY END UP FACING
THE HOME RUN HITTER CHAE-UN

And the previous hitter is on third.

MONSTERS 8 : 5 BUGIL

Kim Chae-un,
the home run hitter from his previous PA.

-Strike!
-Strike. An inside pitch.

That was good!

Your pitches are good!

WON-SAM INCREASES HIS VELOCITY

Hit it lightly.

MONSTERS 8 : 5 BUGIL

-Strike!
-Swing and miss.

Two strikes. His bat spins.

That was perfect sequencing.

I see.

He needs to pitch the same ball.

MONSTERS 8 : 5 BUGIL

Jang Won-sam is on the mound.

He's pitching.

SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT

Swing and miss! Strikeout!

WON-SAM STOPS THE CRISIS

He wraps up the inning.

Nice pitch!

GOOD BALL

THIS IS DRIVING US CRAZY…

The score is eight to five.

There are two official innings left.

This is the eighth inning.

The score is eight to five.

This inning is crucial for the Monsters.

If they don't score a run,

Bugil will keep control of the game.

That's right. This is why it's important

for Ryu Hyun-in to make a hit.

I don't hear any cheering
from the dugout, guys.

Soo-chang, come on!

WHY ONLY ME…

Oh, no.

Choi Jun-ho is pitching.

SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT

Swing and miss, strikeout!

-Good!
-I knew he would do well.

SIGH…

His fastballs are good.

Nice job!

JUN-HO'S PITCHES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE

Right now,

Choi Jun-ho pitched six outs in a row.

They're three runs behind,

so he'll try his best
to pitch shutout innings.

Bugil doesn't intend on losing today.

Park Yong-taek is up next.

Park Yong-taek has a hit and a walk today.

He needs to hit one to be .300.

You're right.

A pitch outside.
He struck him out looking.

Choi Jun-ho just pitched
two consecutive outs.

TWO STRIKEOUTS IN A ROW

GOOD JOB

Will there be a tie-breaker?

He's playing around with his seniors.

-He's got a grip on us now.
-He's getting better and better.

He's got a grip on us.

We're winning,
but being controlled by them.

With this, he pitched
seven consecutive hitters out.

Number four!

The first pitch is a strike.

JUN-HO SHOWS WHAT HE'S MADE OF
WITH HIS FIRST PITCH

It's okay to be struck out.
Just be confident.

You know how when Manager Lee
was a professional player,

all the managers expected him to do well.

I'm sure Yoon Jun-ho feels the same way
Manager Lee did back then.

-Right.
-I wonder what that feels like.

The fourth hitter
handpicked by Manager Lee,

Yoon Jun-ho, is in the box.

I WILL STOP YOU THIS TIME TOO

VS I'LL HIT IT NO MATTER WHAT

HE HITS!

He pushes it out to the right.

It's a hit near the right fielder.

Nice!

DARN IT…

In today's game, the fourth hitter

makes three hits today.

HE CHANGED THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME

That was great!

Number four!

You see right through Choi Jun-ho.

Two outs right now!

FOCUS

I think Manager Jung Bo-myung will use
Yoon Jun-ho as the cleanup hitter.

In Dong-eui?

I think he'll think the same thing.
Or maybe not.

Maybe he wouldn't
because of the mind games.

CHUCKLES…

You withdraw your opinion way too quickly
after you were wrong a few times.

It makes me a bit anxious.

I was chewed out last time.

Two outs with a runner on first.

Would they be able to score and run ahead?

Lee Taek-keun is up next.

TAEK-KEUN HAS TO WIDEN THE SCORE GAP

It's now the time to go for a big play.

Right. It's two outs as well.

Jun-ho versus Taek-keun.

I MUST MAKE THE RUNNERS ADVANCE

He's running!

Hey.

JUN-HO SUDDENLY TRIES
TO STEAL A BASE

He keeps the runner on the base.

Nice going.

GOOD JOB

JUN-HO TRIES TO TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN

Choi Jun-ho.

Lee Taek-keun is in the box.

Tries to pick first base off.

Yoon Jun-ho on first base.
Although they have two outs,

Jun-ho tries to make it work.

JUN-HO IS WAITING FOR A CHANCE

A brushback.

It bounces off.

A HIGH PITCH, 3 BALLS

The runner starts off
and the ball is high up.

Base on balls.

NOW IS OUR CHANCE!

Good eye!

TAEK-KEUN GETS A WALK TO 1ST

SIGH…

Jun-ho, it's okay.

Your pitches are good right now.

Jung Eui-yoon is up next again.

This is his third time entering the box

in a scoring position today.

Two outs with runners on first and second.

2 OUTS WITH RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND

Please. We need a good ball.

Go for a full swing.

Measure your timing
and just hit it from the front.

HE'S THE MOST FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW

CHANCE WITH LOADED BASES
WERE GIVEN TO EUI-YOON TWICE

He makes contact, it's a fly ball.

EUI-YOON WASN'T ABLE TO HELP THE TEAM MUCH

Wherever you are in the lineup,

I think everything works out
when you play the role given to you,

but I wasn't able to play that role.

That's why I feel so sorry for my team.

I WON'T MISS THE CHANCE THREE TIMES

Swing and miss!

Come on!

PLEASE…

Darn it.

The ball is pitched
in Jung Eui-yoon's zone.

-But he keeps on missing.
-I know, right?

How frustrated would he be?
I can feel it from here.

Just hit it from the front.

Relax!

With direction too!

MANAGER LEE WATCHES
EUI-YOON WITH TRUST

His BA is still at .314.

But he is playing
as the sixth hitter today.

HE HITS!

-Yes!
-Let's go!

He pushes the ball out.
The ball lands near center-right field.

LET'S GO! RUN!

Jung Eui-yoon's hit goes perfectly
to the center-right.

RUNNERS SPRINT AS FAST AS THEY CAN

MAKE A RUN FOR IT

THE BALL ROLLS TO THE WALL

MONSTER 9 : 5 BUGIL

THEY'RE CHEERING

Really keep going?

Second and first base runners
both go for home.

QUICKLY THROWS IT BACK HOME!

Jung Eui-yoon's RBI double!

CK Monsters finally manage
to widen the score gap.

The first cleanup hitter of the team

gets an RBI as the sixth hitter.

Although he lost his previous chances,

but he finally hits to score two runs
on an important opportunity.

Thank goodness.

-Great job. Take it slow.
-Okay.

VISITING THE MOUND AGAIN

I'm trading you out
because you threw more than 50 pitches.

-I think you lost a bit of power.
-Yes, sir.

It's fine, sir.

He changes the pitcher.

Choi Ju-won takes the mound.

He's in his first year.

He actually pitches
sliders and curve balls.

Next up is Seo Dong-wook.

Two outs with a runner on second.

Seo Dong-wook's turn to hit.

DONG-WOOK HAS TO KEEP
THE MOMENTUM GOING

SKIPS OFF THE BAT!

The ball pops up high.

He calls and moves aside.

Center fielder catches it
for the last out.

Darn.

The Monsters scored runs after two outs.

Five points ahead.

They feel more relieved now.

BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 10 : 5 BUGIL

This is the bottom of the eighth.

For the CK Monsters,
Yoo Hee-kwan takes the mound.

THE ACE YOO HEE-KWAN TAKES THE MOUND

I heard his left shoulder isn't well.

We must check first.

It's better to see his current state

-on the mound.
-I see. That's true.

Because I pitched so many innings
throughout all the games,

I felt fatigued.

So that's why my shoulders
don't feel so well,

but the situation happens to be
where I have to play today.

The first hitter is the one
that made a multi-hit.

LEE SEUNG-HYEON, 2 FOR 3, BA .500

First pitch.

HE HITS!

He makes contact. It flies to the right.

Gosh.

He's a good hitter.

He makes contact. It flies to the right.

Right fielder chases.

The ball is caught
in front of the warning track.

But Lee Seung-hyeon is a great hitter.

He's only in his second year.

Get yourselves together, everyone!

One out. The seventh hitter,
Kim Yun-u, is up next.

That was a ball.

There was no strike call.

DUE TO HIS SHOULDER,
HIS PITCHES FEEL DIFFERENT

2 BALLS

Those pitches are not
how he normally does.

This reminds me.

Jang Won-sam also had
trouble pitching for a while.

Right.

HE HITS!

Shortstop dives to catch but fails.

HIS DIVING CATCH MISSES!

Yoo Hee-kwan allows a hit.

-Darn it.
-That was close.

Because he cannot apply force on the ball,

the batted balls gain speed like that.

Kim Yun-u gets on base with a hit.

It suddenly bounced in.

I know. And the bouncing
made it hard to catch.

I MUST STOP BUGIL'S STREAK
OF SUCCESSFUL OFFENSIVE PLAY

Yoo Hee-kwan allows a hit after one out.

Kim Yun-u gets on base with a hit.

Next up is Lee Jin-yong,
the eighth hitter.

THE 8TH BATTER WITH NIMBLE FEET, JIN-YONG

He's good at pickoffs.

Think about pickoffs!

IF MORE RUNNERS GO OUT,
WE MIGHT ALLOW A RUN

WHAT HAPPENED?

Picks off first.

One out on first!

I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT, HEE-KWAN!

I just told you he's good at picking off.

Yoo Hee-kwan ruthlessly shows off
his specialty.

As expected.
Hee-kwan is on a different level.

VERY DEPENDABLE

-Hee-kwan!
-It's two outs now!

The king of pickoffs!

THE ACE SOLVES
THE CRISIS WITH A PICKOFF

This is how Yoo Hee-kwan, the pitcher
who won more than 100 games in KBO,

picks runners off.

-Strike!
-A bunt grip. It's a strike.

-Strike!
-A pitch outside. The ball was 85km/h.

Two strikes.

THE INNING WILL BE DONE
WITH ONE MORE STRIKE

It goes outside!
Swing and miss, strikeout!

With a 120km/h fastball,
he pitches a strikeout!

Nice pitch!

NICE

He allowed a hit,

but he ends the inning
with just three hitters.

Hee-kwan plays baseball so easily.

Son Seung-jun takes the mound.

He's on the mound as the closing pitcher.

There's a change in defense.

Keun-woo's second base position

goes to Dong-wook,
who was a right fielder.

And in the right fielder
is Coach Jung Soo-sung.

In place of Jeong Keun-woo,
who isn't feeling well,

Coach Jung Soo-sung is playing

to play the last inning.

HE HAS TWO JOBS

Im Jeong-muk, let's go!

-Jeong-muk, you got this.
-Steady.

The leadoff hitter is important.

-Let's go!
-Come on!

HE MAKES CONTACT!

It's flying high.

IT'S A HOME RUN!

Center fielder runs behind.

He catches it. One out.

1 OUT

Kim Ji-hwan is up next.

KIM JI-HWAN IS IN THE BOX

HE POPS IT UP!

It's flying high.

JUN-HO, CATCH IT! HEY!

PLEASE, A FOUL

Yoon Jun-ho takes his mask off
and chases it down.

And he catches it for the second out.

2 OUTS

THE GAME ENDS WITH ONE MORE OUT

One last out left before CK Monsters

get their eighth win.

BASEBALL ISN'T OVER UNTIL IT IS

THE ONE WHO WANTS TO FINISH THE GAME

THE ONE WHO WANTS
TO CONTINUE THE GAME

HE MAKES CONTACT!

He makes contact to the left.

Left fielder chases the ball.

And this is the last out of the game!

CK Monsters manage
to win their tenth game.

SEUNG-JUN PITCHES A SCORELESS INNING

MONSTERS WIN THEIR 10TH GAME

Well done.

MONSTERS WIN THEIR 10TH GAME

Eight wins and two losses.

CK Monsters to keep their win percentage
higher than .700.

MONSTERS WIN THE 2ND MATCH
AGAINST BUGIL!

CK MONSTER PLAYERS'
AVERAGE AGE IS 39

Well done, guys.

Come here.

Well played. Good game.

THE OLDER I GET,
THE MORE I WANT TO WIN

-Good game.
-Gosh.

-Good game.
-Good game.

I hope you win the next competition.

We will.

We learned a lot from your players today.

It upsets me. It really does.

Rhee Dae-eun.

His pitching was comparable
to that of current professional pitchers.

Also Jang Won-sam.

And Yoo Hee-kwan represents
the art of slow pitches.

He has great control.

To be frank, they're too powerful.

Yesterday, I texted Lee Taek-keun
and asked him what he was doing.

He said he was at Dongsan High School.

Park Yong-taek was lifting weights.

MONSTERS ARE TRAINING FOR VICTORY
EVEN OFF CAMERA

If you compare
a high school senior cleanup hitter

and Jung Eui-yoon,
we cannot beat the high schooler.

But when we all gather,

we have our teamwork

that makes up for each other's weaknesses.

This is the reason
why we don't lose easily.

Bugil Academy! CK Monsters!

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

CK MONSTERS VS BUGIL

It's chilly at night.

NIGHT COMES DOWN TO THE STADIUM

NICE GAME

WE FOUGHT WELL TODAY ONCE AGAIN

I think we have designated seats now.

THEY ARE ALL SEATED

As we always say, congratulations!

A CLEAN SWEEP
THE MONSTERS ARE ONCE AGAIN VICTORIOUS

It's a win percentage of .800.

-Yes!
-It's .800!

THE MONSTERS ACHIEVE
A WIN PERCENTAGE OF .800

Honestly, the game wasn't
that great today.

Compared to the number of bases we got on,

we didn't score that much.

I think Jung Eui-yoon's RBI double was big

near the end.

So I think we have to be satisfied
with the fact that we won.

We'll prepare for two days
to show everyone

a more refined performance
in the next game.

I'll announce today's MVP.

It's hard to guess who it'll be today.

Nothing really eventful happened,
so it's hard to guess.

-It was uneventful.
-"It was uneventful."

That's why I'll hand over
the power to choose the MVP

to the manager.

Look at him being so cunning.

This might hurt our friendship.

Gosh, this is hard.

WHO IS MANAGER LEE'S
FAVORITE PLAYER?

I personally…

There's a position that I always think

has it the toughest.

I want to give the MVP to him.

Maybe it's himself.

The MVP of the second match
against Bugil is…

I'm the one who chose today.

He's announcing it right away.

JUNG EUI-YOON
WHO WIDENED THE SCORE GAP?

FOURTH HITTER YOON JUN-HO
WHO MET EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS?

It's Yoon Jun-ho, who played as
the fourth hitter for the first time!

THE FIRST-TIME 4TH HITTER,
YOON JUN-HO

Thank you.

FINALLY HIS FIRST MVP

-Yoon Jun-ho!
-Yoon Jun-ho!

I think Manager Lee
just likes the fourth hitter.

Because baseball is all about trust.

To make you a fourth hitter

is a stroke of genius.

FULL OF PRAISE

Congratulations, you did well.

HE BECOMES
MANAGER LEE'S FAVORITE PLAYER!

I made him the MVP.

First of all,

I was surprised to hear
that I was the fourth batter today

and it felt somewhat burdensome.

But I didn't want Manager Lee's decision

to use me as the fourth hitter
to seem like a joke,

so I tried my best to play well.

Also, Yong-taek gave me a piece of advice
before the game

and before entering the box.

I believe these encouragements
made me the MVP today.

So I would like to express my gratitude
to Manager Lee

and also to Yong-taek.

Thank you.

THE STAR OF THE MVP:
TWO COACHES FOR HITTING?

NICE GAME

BUZZWORD INVENTOR

We met last winter

and now it's blazing summer.

Today, out of the 30 games
we planned to play,

we played exactly 10 games,
which is a third of our planned games.

And I've told all of you
in the first episode.

CK Monsters will recruit
and release players

based on each player's performance.

And now that
we are exactly a third into our plan,

I will announce the players
that'll be released.

There's a list of players to be released?

I have a bad feeling.

ALL OF A SUDDEN?

So serious all of a sudden.

Everyone did a great job. I mean it.

But it's just a list, right?

I think I'm on there.

(ANXIOUS EYES)

-Sim Soo-chang.
-Yes.

-Thank you for your work.
-No problem.

Is this for real?

EVERYONE FREEZES UP ALL OF A SUDDEN

Your performance is the lowest
among the pitchers.

Don't let him fool you.

I've announced it.

BUT THE GENERAL MANAGER
SEEMS DETERMINED

Thank… Well done, guys.

WELL DONE, GUYS…

MEMBERS ARE AT A LOSS FOR WORDS

Is he released then?

But…

because our win percentage is .700,

which was our team's goal,

there is no list of players to be released

for the tenth game and afterward.

-Gosh.
-You startled me!

WHAT A RELIEF
A SUDDEN SURGE OF EMOTIONS

I told you he's faking.

THANK GOODNESS…

Soo-chang's lips were
really twitching just now.

I would've been so sad.

-I almost cried.
-Seriously.

EVERYONE FELT THE SAME
AT THAT MOMENT

My mind went blank at that moment.

I thought, "What is this?"

"What am I supposed to do?"

Everyone was just dumbfounded.

He's someone that we need on our team.

I was genuinely moved.

I felt that
my teammates truly care about me.

Regarding the win rate…

Even if I play poorly,

my teammates cover for me

and I try my best to win the game.

And thank you
everyone for winning the game.

HE'S TALKING GIBBERISH

This isn't the right time to say that!

Get yourself together!

What's wrong? Why?

He really was rattled.

I thought it was real.

-I regretted today's game just now.
-Seriously.

I should've played better.

EVERYONE'S HEARTS DROPPED

What we're feeling right now

is the same as when we first met

and told us the show will shut down
if we lose ten games.

-Exactly.
-Totally.

That's exactly how I felt right now.

-Gosh.
-Okay.

There will be a release on the 20th game.

If you do not maintain
a win percentage of .700 then,

I will release players
when that time comes.

If we do well next time,
then will there be no release?

I'll have no reason to
if the win percentage is over .700.

-I mean, the team is doing well.
-Then it's possible.

LET'S GO TO OKINAWA
WITH THESE MEMBERS!

The next game will be our first away game.

This place is like Manager Lee's hometown.

It's Samsung Lions Park.

DAEGU SAMSUNG LIONS PARK

No way.

That's good news.

This is where

Bugil beat all of the country's
baseball teams this year.

We'll go against the second team
that beat all the baseball teams.

-Kyungnam?
-We'll go against Kyungnam High School.

NEXT OPPONENT
KYUNGNAM HIGH SCHOOL

HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

Isn't Kyungnam good at baseball?

Could the alumnus of Kyungnam High School

tell us about how strong they are?

HOW STRONG ARE THEY?

There are three great pitchers.

And they have a catcher
who is as good as Yoon Jun-ho.

-The national number one this year?
-Yes.

And they play aggressively.

However, we will still win.

And I have the last question
that I wanted to ask the most.

We have Manager Lee

who has been working out like the players.

Will you be playing as a player

in the first match at Lions Park?

Watch the show to find out.

-Nice preview!
-Nice preview!

Nice preview!

ADDICTED TO BUZZWORDS

You know how to bring the audience in.

STAY TUNED FOR THE PREVIEW!

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

Let's go to Daegu!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Hey, guys! Let's go to Daegu. Come on!

10 GAMES 8 WINS 2 LOSSES
WIN PERCENTAGE .800

It is a truly meaningful day for me.

LEE SEUNG-YUOP

I will repay you all with a victory.

CK Monster's first game away.

AWAY GAME IN DAEGU AGAINST KYUNGNAM

HOW STRONG WILL
THE GOLD LION CUP WINNER TEAM BE?
