The Fire Fighters will face off against the strong independent league representative team in their fifth live broadcast of the season.
The 18th episode of the baseball entertainment program 'Fire Baseball,' which will first air on Sept. 1, will show the Fire Fighters preparing ahead of their match against the independent league representative team.
A few days before the game, on the team's training day, Shin Jae-young smiles broadly while sharing the news that he received a call from manager Kim Sung-keun for the first time. On this day, his rival, Yoo Hee-kwan, also makes an appearance at the training ground, surprising everyone. It seems like Yoo Hee-kwan, inspired by Shin Jae-young's excellent performance, is showing enthusiasm in training, indicating a determination to secure his spot. Attention is focused on which of the two, fueled by their will to be a starter, will take the position of starting pitcher.
Meanwhile, on this day, Kim Jae-ho is properly singled out by manager Kim Sung-keun. Kim Sung-keun repeatedly hits fly balls, possibly dissatisfied with Kim Jae-ho's defense, and even conducts extra batting practice since he ranks in the lower tier for batting average. In response, Kim Jae-ho reportedly pleads for help, saying, 'Save me.'
Finally, on the day of the game, the winning pitcher from the last match, Shin Jae-young, enters the stadium to a warm welcome from the production team. A blue carpet is laid out for him, and even a crown and cape are set up, catching the eye. The Fire Fighters, seeing that even the locker room has been decorated for Shin Jae-young, burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, to commemorate that all pitchers have appeared at least once based on the last game, the overall pitching records of the Fire Fighters are announced. As the rankings are revealed, Yoo Hee-kwan dons a gentle expression, while Lee Dae-eun showcases an intense performance that brings laughter to the audience.
As the Fire Fighters warm up for the game, focusing on defense and batting practice, Jung Keun-woo and Jeong Ui-yoon notably shine. These players, who were formerly with the Incheon-based baseball team SK Wyverns, keep hitting large flies in the familiar stadium. Expectations are high for what kind of performance these two players will deliver on their home ground.
Meanwhile, the Fire Fighters' sore spot and a welcome face, Yoon Sang-hyuk, also appears. He makes the Fire Fighters tense by hitting balls over the outfield fence during practice. There is curiosity about whether he can produce remarkable results against his former team, the Fire Fighters.
The exciting match between the Fire Fighters and the independent league representative team can be watched on the official Studio C1 YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on Sept. 1 (Monday).
