The Spark Fighters are set to hunt for consecutive wins by showcasing a perfect harmony of youth and experience.
In the fifth episode of the baseball variety show "Spark Baseball" airing on June 2 at 8 p.m., a return match will unfold between the Spark Fighters, who aim to continue the momentum from their decisive victory in the first match, and Kyungbuk High School, which seeks to restore its pride.
After a dominant 10-0 cold game victory with 16 hits in the first match, the Fighters will gather in the locker room before the game to hear an interview with the Kyungbuk High School coach. As they unexpectedly hear the "honest comments of the enemy commander," the Fighters players burst into laughter, while some express a mix of embarrassment and pride, saying, "This is the first time I've seen such an interview." However, only Lee Taek-geun shows a meaningful expression and a bitter smile, drawing curiosity.
For a moment, the atmosphere shifts dramatically as the announcement of the batting average rankings for the Fighters' opening game is made. With players expressing surprise, saying, "Are we talking about batting averages from the first game?", a subtle competitive dynamic unfolds among those vying for the rankings, adding to the laughter. Attention is focused on who will be among the top three in batting average.
Meanwhile, Kyungbuk High School, eager for a comeback, announces a complete lineup of aces and is focusing all efforts on the second game. In response, the Fighters also commence serious defense and hitting training. Even players who are unable to participate due to injury join in warm-up training, strengthening team chemistry, while Kim Jae-ho and Jung Geun-woo provide direct defense lessons to the young players, and Head Coach Kim Seong-geun spares no effort in hitting instruction, igniting passion.
In the meantime, Kim Sun-woo, the unofficial pitching coach for the Fighters, unexpectedly engages in "spying (?) activities" surrounded by promising Kyungbuk High School pitchers. When Kim Sun-woo sincerely shares his techniques, Director General Jang Si-won reportedly interjects, saying, "What are you doing right now?" It remains to be seen whether Kim Sun-woo's enthusiasm (?) will become a boomerang for the Fighters, which viewers can check through the main broadcast.
The second match between the powerful Spark Fighters and the ambitious Kyungbuk High School can be confirmed through the official Studio C1 YouTube channel on June 2 at 8 p.m.
