[Sportschosun Jung An-ji] Dae-ho Lee launched a practice batting home run after Yu Hee-kwan said, "Our team has weak offense."
In episode 6 of Studio C1's baseball variety show 'Fire Baseball 2,' which will be released at 8 p.m. on Monday the 15th, the Fire Fighters face off in a one-game showdown against the strong Hanyang University (HYU) team, which dominated the college league.
Before the game, the Fighters gathered in the locker room and grew tense ahead of a surprise performance announcement from general manager Jang Si-won. Once the unexpected report card was revealed, the atmosphere quickly turned restless, and Dae-ho Lee in particular could not hide his disappointment. It remains to be seen whether the slugger, who has lost the top spot in batting average, can restore his pride against HYU.
Shin Jae-young, who has established himself as the new ace, gets caught up in HYU's provocation. He drew overwhelming support to rank No. 1 among the pitchers HYU batters most want to face, and he cannot hide his awkward smile. After the HYU batters' evaluations are revealed, Shin's competitive spirit also flares up. With a 0.00 ERA since the season opener, expectations are high to see whether Mr. Zero Shin Jae-young can shut down HYU, last season's two-time national tournament champion, with his trademark pitching.
Meanwhile, another Mr. Zero, Yu Hee-kwan, shows his determination toward the pitching staff, saying, "We have to hold them to under three runs, no matter what." He then bristles at Jang Si-won's remark that the team looks weak and fires back, "Our team has weak offense." But as soon as he finishes speaking, Dae-ho Lee, Jeong Seong-hoon, and Jeong Keun-woo each hit home runs in practice batting, sending the room into laughter. Attention is now on what kind of fiery pitching the self-proclaimed 'pitching team' Fighters will show against HYU.
Whether the Fire Fighters can silence HYU's provocation and sing a victory song will be revealed at 8 p.m. on Monday the 15th through Studio C1's official YouTube channel.
