In the 9th episode of the baseball entertainment program 『Fireworks』, which was released on Studio C1's official YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on the 30th of last month, the Fireworks Fighters, who won 4:2 after the 『luxury pitching match" against Incheon High School. The Fighters continued their unbeaten streak of the season by winning the second round of Incheon High School with the good pitching of the pitchers and the performance of the batters who shone in the right place.
The game was played in the form of a pitching match until the third inning. Incheon High School's starting pitcher Lee Tae-yang blocked the Fighters' lineup with a bold pitch. In the top of the second inning, Lee Dae-ho and Jung Eui-yoon faced a crisis with consecutive hits, but they calmly accumulated outcounts and finished the inning without losing a point.
Lee Dae-eun, who is not in good condition due to cold body aches, started the Fire Fighters. Despite his painful body, he overwhelmed Incheon High School batters with powerful pitches. In particular, he showed off his ace appearance by creating consecutive three-out innings at the beginning of the game.
The first run came from Incheon High School's bat in the bottom of the fourth inning. Lee Dae-eun allowed a walk to the leadoff hitter, and the hit later created a situation on the first and third bases with no outs. The fourth batter Park Gyeom was doubled, but in the process, the third baseman stepped home and gave up the lead 0:1.
The Fighters immediately launched a counterattack in the top of the fifth inning. Lee Taek-geun hit the first pitch and hit a solo home run to tie the score 1-1. Incheon High School claimed a foul, but a home run was recognized after a video review. After that, Park Jae-wook's walk and Kim Jae-ho's hit created an opportunity with one out and runners on first and second bases. In the end, Incheon High School quickly replaced the pitcher with Lee Seo-joon. However, the Fighters' firepower was even more intense, and Choi Soo-hyun, the MVP of Game 1, who took over the momentum, hit a timely hit to turn the game around 3:1. The Fighters' exhilarating shot heated up Monday night.
The Fighters also overwhelmed Incheon High School with their defense. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Incheon High School's No. 4 hitter Park Gyeom hit a big ball separating between center field and right field, and Lee Taek-geun blew himself to catch it. Park Chan-hyung, who replaced Jung Sung-hoon as a third baseman, relieved Lee Dae-eun's burden by catching a fastball from a follow-up hitter with a short bound.
The Fighters also scored an additional point in the top of the eighth inning, widening the gap. Jung Geun-woo drew a walk and stole his first base of the season against the changed pitcher Chung Hyun-woo, and Choi Soo-hyun got on base with a strikeout, not out, and became the first and third bases. A situation where you can make an extra point with a single hit. Jeong Eui-yoon hit a ground ball on the double play course, but Jung Geun-woo, who was on third base, came home as Incheon High School shortstop chose a batter's out instead of a double play.
As the second pitcher of the Fighters, Yoo Hee-kwan, who was sluggish with four runs in six innings in the first game of Incheon High School, came up. He caught strikes with consecutive slow balls, preoccupying an advantageous ball count and keeping the eighth inning scoreless. An unexpected accident occurred at the end of the ninth inning. Left fielder Jung Eui-yoon and shortstop Kim Jae-ho collided with an ambiguous hit by the leadoff hitter of Incheon High School. While the two players could not get up easily, the Incheon High School batter headed to third base. Therefore, the Fighters' dugout became busy, and head coach Kim Sung-geun ordered a large-scale change of defense position. Incheon High School's next batter hit a timely hit and caught up with the Fighters at 4:2, but Yoo Hee-kwan struck out the last batter and the game ended.
