On the 93rd episode of the JTBC entertainment show ‘Strongest Baseball’, which aired on the afternoon of the 5th, the results of the game between the Strongest Monsters and the Lotte Giants held at Sajik Stadium in Busan were revealed.
The strongest Monsters, who lost the lead by one point due to the Giants’ strategic game management, entered the bottom of the 4th inning that day. The strongest Monsters barely blocked the Giants’ attack with Lee Dae-eun’s stable pitching and Lim Sang-woo’s defense. In particular, the Monsters players smiled as they were completely absorbed in the performance of the youngest player, Lim Sang-woo, saying, “You do it all by yourself!”
In the top of the 5th, the strongest monsters began their attack, and the confrontation between ‘Giants’ history’ Lee Dae-ho and ‘Giants’ future’ Jung Hyun-soo took place. The meeting of the two people who faced each other while wearing different uniforms exploded the dopamine of the viewers. With Lee Dae-ho’s cheering song ringing out, Lee Dae-ho gifted a game-tying home run over the left field fence. The fans could not hold back their tears at his home run, which was the first in about 600 days at Sajik Stadium.
Lee Dae-ho’s game-tying home run seemed to have rekindled the fire of the chase, but the strongest Monsters found themselves falling behind the Giants by three points in the top of the seventh. The strongest Monsters were made to feel the high wall of the professional team by the Giants’ flawless defense that did not tolerate any mistakes.
In the bottom of the 7th, Nippert appeared as a relief pitcher for the strongest monsters who were on the verge of defeat. Nippert, who threw a pitch for the first time in 6 years at Sajik Stadium, succeeded in taking the lead by throwing a 142 km fastball as a practice pitch. In the best condition, he started throwing fastballs one after another. Nippert surprised everyone with an unbelievable scene by setting a record of the fastest speed in the history of ‘Strongest Baseball’, 152 km.
In a situation where scoring was desperately needed, manager Kim Sung-geun chose Guk Hae-seong as a pinch hitter in the top of the 8th. Guk Hae-seong then caught everyone’s attention with his first hit since his debut in ‘Strongest Baseball’. In addition, Im Sang-woo, who hit 3 hits against the Giants, also showed great performance, and the exciting game development had everyone watching on the edge of their seats.
The Strongest Monsters, who were leading by 4 points, brought out pitcher Song Seung-jun in the bottom of the 8th. Everyone cheered for him as one when Song Seung-jun appeared on the mound at Sajik Stadium for the first time in 608 days. The Strongest Monsters, who had defended the inning after Song Seung-jun’s appearance, went on the attack for the last time in the top of the 9th. However, they were unable to overcome the wall of the Giants’ last pitcher, Hyun Do-hoon, and ended the game with a score of 7:3. The exciting match between the two teams that shook up Busan drew admiration until the end and made people fall in love with the charm of baseball.
