The Black Queens of "Baseball queen" face the biggest crisis since their founding due to home runs by the "bat-wielding legion" Busters.
The fifth episode of Channel A sports variety show "Baseball queen," airing at 10 p.m. on the 23rd, reveals the scene and result of the second official match between the "Black Queens," a team of 15 legendary female selections, and the strong Busters, who boast two national tournament championships in their inaugural 2024 season and a team batting average of .374.
Holding a nail-biting 5-3 lead through the top of the second inning, the Black Queens desperately try to preserve the lead as the returning offense sees middle-order hitters such as Song-ah and Ayaka deliver consecutive timely hits. The Busters ignite a comeback with consecutive hits starting with national team all-rounder Kwak Dae-yi, but an airtight infield defense — third baseman Kim Seong-yeon's catch, second baseman Ayaka's force out and first baseman Park Ha-yan's nice catch — keeps the Busters tightly contained.
But at the moment the game should have been finished, pitcher Kim On-a allowed a "home run," and the momentum completely shifted. As everyone's eyes turned to the sky amid cries of "Big, that went over," the ball cleared the fence, giving the Busters a decisive opportunity. Manager Choo Shin-soo and coaches Lee Dae-hyung and Yoon Seok-min expressed regret, saying, "We hoped Ona would hold on," while Kim On-a herself sighed, "This is a bit wrong...," and bowed her head. As the trial facing the Black Queens unfolds, curiosity rises about whether captain Kim On-a can calmly get through the crisis and the outcome of this second match.
The Black Queens' second official match, played under the cruel rule of "one player expelled after three losses," will be revealed on the fifth episode of Channel A's "Baseball queen," airing at 10 p.m. on the 23rd.
