The Fire Fighters face several variables even before the game.
In episode 15 of the Studio C1 baseball variety show 'Flame Baseball', which will be released on the 11th at 8 p.m., the elite lineup of the Fire Fighters facing the strong opponent, Gangneung High School, will be revealed.
The Gangneung High School that the Fire Fighters will face is a team that 'only plays baseball except for sleeping time,' and they are a strong adversary that can shake the Fire Fighters with various strategies to score points. Lee Taek-geun noted, 'We have to be more persistent to have a chance of winning,' raising the competitive spirit.
The Fire Fighters start their full warm-up, igniting their will to win. However, the key infielder, Jeong Geun-woo, calls over head coach Lee Kwang-gil, seemingly uncomfortable. It turns out he has been feeling an issue with his back since the previous day's batting practice. All the Fire Fighters worry about Jeong Geun-woo, and particularly the infielders solidify their mindset, saying, '(If Geun-woo is hurt) he can't miss out. Unless a bone is broken.' Attention is focused on whether the elite infielders can overcome this crisis.
Meanwhile, Manager Kim Seong-geun appears on the field to check on the players' condition. As Manager Kim keeps a keen eye on the players, a desperate cry of 'I want to go out' is heard from somewhere. The voice belongs to Kim Moon-ho. Having started batting practice, he demonstrates his intent to participate by hitting large balls. His teammates, while watching his hits, do not hold back their praise, curious if Kim Moon-ho, a man who understands the value of one at-bat, will make it to the lineup.
Finally, the lineup announcement time has arrived, and Director General Jang Si-won draws attention by saying, 'It's a lineup we haven't seen before.' The Fire Fighters players begin to unfold their speculated lineups one by one. Curiosity is heightened as to whether the dreams of the players who hope to participate will come true.
As the lineup announcement begins, the Fire Fighters cannot hide their surprise. Head coach Lee Kwang-gil lets out a deep sigh before calling out a name, and Yoo Hee-kwan exclaims, 'This is shocking,' with his mouth agape. As the next batter's name is announced, the scene turns chaotic. Everyone's eyes widen, and some applaud while others wear bittersweet smiles. The player selected by Manager Kim Seong-geun looks as if he cannot believe it and checks the lineup sheet himself. The 'Kim Seong-geun's pick' that swept through the Fire Fighters' locker room draws everyone's attention to how this decision will impact the game.
The unique lineup of the Fire Fighters to face Gangneung High School can be confirmed on the Studio C1 official YouTube channel on the 11th (Monday) at 8 p.m.
