The Fire Fighters heated up Monday night with a decisive victory over high school baseball power Seongnam High School.
On the 13th, in episode 10 of the baseball variety show "Burn to Win 2," released on Studio C1's official YouTube channel, the Fire Fighters beat Seongnam High School 6-0 thanks to a strong lower lineup and stingy pitching.
Shin Jaeyoung, who made his second start of the season that day, retired Seongnam High School's batters in order from the top of the first inning with aggressive pitching. In response, Seongnam High School brought "No. 1 lock" Kim Jinho to the mound. After recording two outs, he allowed a hit that sailed over the second baseman's reach to Park Yongtaek, but he then got the next batter, Lee Daeho, to fly out foul to first base, delivering the thrill of a tight pitching duel.
Shin Jaeyoung, who had proven his worth as an ace with eight strikeouts and no runs allowed through two outs in the sixth inning, was shaken after allowing consecutive infield hits. Manager Kim Sunggeun replaced the pitcher with Lee Daeun, and Shin Jaeyoung, who had the option of a salary increase if he completed seven innings with one earned run, left the mound disappointed. Lee Daeun, who came in with runners on first and second and two outs, induced an unassisted grounder to shortstop and extinguished the threat without giving up a run.
The Fighters' bats erupted. The Fighters, who created another bases-loaded chance by stringing together a walk by Park Yongtaek and hits by Lee Daeho and Jung Sunghun, put the game out of reach with a one-run RBI single by Park Jaewook. Then Hyunbin and Junghun drew bases-loaded walks, making the score 6-0.
From the two-out situation in the top of the eighth inning, "the final boss" Oh Seunghwan, who had been responsible for the Fighters' mound, displayed "final boss" dignity again in the ninth. With his signature heavy fastball he collected three outs and preserved the Fighters' fifth victory. Oh Seunghwan's pitching, which added one save in this game to reach a career total of 550 saves across Korea, the U.S. and Japan, delivered a deep thrill.
