Perfect!

“Sekan!”

A fast batted ball flies into the second baseman’s area between first and second base. As soon as the hitting sound sounded, I threw my body and the ball landed in my glove. The situation is 1 out and bases loaded. As soon as I got up, I threw the ball to second base.

“out!”

There is an out at second base, and shortstop Seongtae Yoon gently throws the ball to first base.

“out!”

The crowd’s cheers grew louder at the flowing double play. And the batter was seen throwing his helmet on the floor and getting angry.

“and! What is Ji Maeng-ho? “You’re so flying.”

“Well, this is the basics of tidying up.”

Although 1 point was given, the team reliably prevented the crisis of bases loaded with 1 out and headed to the dugout. I listened to the cheers of the crowd, but they were nothing compared to the cheers heard during Woo Kwan-hyung’s at-bat.

‘After all, defense doesn’t work?’

Even though he showed good defense, it seemed like it would be difficult to get the spotlight for his defense unless he was able to catch a batted ball over the fence or play shortstop.

‘As expected, if it’s not a blow… .’

Actually, I knew it. It is impossible to steal the spotlight from Woo Kwan-hyung today. Because that is the weight of 3000 hits. Still, I wanted to bring a little bit of that spotlight, and the answer seemed to be a blow.

My score today was 1 hit in 2 at-bats. We also need to work hard.

‘Should I hit a home run in every remaining at-bat?’

‘I don’t think that’s necessary.’

‘yes?’

‘The air on the ground has changed.’

‘What kind of shaman are you? ‘How do you know that?’

‘Stupid guy. Can’t you feel the difference between the previous innings and this one?’

‘What is it?’

Was there a difference? To me, they just look like the usual Volcano Falcons.

‘The guys who just swing the bat without any fighting spirit are competing as persistently as possible.’

Certainly, listening to Rossby’s words reminded me of the Volcano hitter who hit a double play and threw down his helmet. There was a double play in the previous inning, but it wasn’t that kind of reaction.

‘But why did you give it 5 points?’

‘That’s it, I don’t know.’

Well, since a volcano is a volcano, it wasn’t particularly scary.

“Meng Hao, take your equipment.”

“yes!”

‘I only got 4 points, so what can I do if I work hard?’

I put aside thoughts about the volcano, gathered my gear, and walked to the waiting stand. The leading batter of this inning was Kim Soo-ho. Judging by the fact that he got on base with a walk in his previous two at-bats, he looked to be in very good condition today. It was visible that the opposing starting pitcher was aware of Kim Su-ho’s condition and was making the game as difficult as possible.

Perfect!

“done!”

But Kim Su-ho is Kim Su-ho. With a light hitting sound, the batted ball flew between center field and right field, huh?

-Wow!

“crazy!”

The volcanic right fielder, who fell, is seen lifting his glove. Even if the combination is just a little bit off, the center fielder and right fielder could collide. The right fielder of Hwasan saved Kim Soo-ho’s batted ball with a dive without any hesitation.

“Wow, you have 4 points, but you’re defending so fucking hard?”

“Use it.”

Kim Su-ho’s expression after his double was stolen didn’t look very good either. Looking at this situation, I felt like I knew roughly what Rossby was talking about.

‘So, you guys want to be the main characters too, right?’

Rather, it was good. If things went smoothly, it was obvious that it would be a game where there would be nothing left except Woo Kwan-hyung’s 3,000th hit. However, if this game became a famous game, it was clear that my performance, along with Woo Kwan-hyung’s 3,000 hits, would be remembered for a long time.

‘Hehe, let’s go. Mr. Rossby.’

‘At least come to bat.’

As I was entering the batter’s box, I felt the catcher’s eyes looking at me with a disapproving expression.

“Please give me a good ball this time too.”

And I wasn’t the type of person to sit still while receiving those looks.

“Shut up. Because of you, Wonwon is still lying in the hospital.”

“Ha, I also suffered a loss because I was disciplined back then. Do you know how much you lost in terms of record because you couldn’t deal with volcanic pitchers? “If I had played in those two games, I would have surpassed 20 home runs now.”

“This bastard… !”

“Honestly, you think that too, right? Ah, why can’t I deal with volcanic pitchers? I also want to be at bat. Do you think you would definitely think like that? So how much are the options?”

“That’s about it for both of you.”

“Yes.”

“Ugh… .”

You can hear the catcher cooling off his anger. Damn, I mean, who said you were a picky girl?

‘Fastball.’

‘At least it’s the body.’

And this is the formula of these sneaky catchers. If you scratch, make sure to hit the ball towards your body. Even without hearing the location from Rossby, it was obvious.

“cheek.”

Please avoid it lightly.

“Oh, isn’t this a threat? “I really don’t want to fight on a day like today.”

“It’s not a threat. “You know that Jinki control is not good.”

“Both of you, stop fighting. “Does it have to be like this on a day like today?”

The referee also seemed to be aware of Woo Gwan-hyeong’s 3,000th hit. You wouldn’t want to be criticized for not managing the game properly in such a historic game. There’s even a ball that looks like a threat ball. There was a high probability that the strike zone would become narrow.

“cheek.”

“Is this a ball?”

“okay.”

And I was right. The ambiguous ball that came back inside the body was declared a ball. I thought it wouldn’t produce the big hit I wanted, so I skipped it, but I got lucky.

‘Now throwing to the body will be tricky, right?’

‘It’s a slider.’

Since the body doesn’t work, I’ll throw an outside slider. If that guy had the guts to throw an inside slider in this situation, he wouldn’t be the 5th starter in Volcanoes, so I was confident it was an outside slider.

and,

Ta – evil!

The swing without hesitation hit the ball properly. A home run that you can feel the moment it hits. After watching the batted ball go over the right field fence for a few seconds, he lightly threw the bat and pointed at the spectators at first base.

-Wow!

-Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maengho! Ji Maengho! Ji Maengho!

‘Cheer more. Hehehe. Oh, I shouldn’t have hit a home run? Surely it won’t end up being boring?’

As I was walking around the ground, I took a quick look at the volcanic beasts. Fortunately, they didn’t seem to mind. In fact, they seemed really angry as they were looking at me as if they were going to tear me to death. Would you like some help to properly piss me off?

“it’s a shame. easy!”

“… 개새끼가.”

As I stepped on second base, I mumbled something that could be heard by the Keystone team, and the response came immediately. It was also fun to see the reaction come right away. Then, would you like a little more service?

“Meng Hao, it was a good home run!”

“Let’s win easily! “Those volcano bastards are like dog food?”

“Hey, I’ll stop by the catcher.”

The next batter, Ki Ki-joo, motioned for the opposing catcher to be quiet and watched the opposing catcher. I felt like I heard correctly as I saw his body shaking.

“Well, how about it?”

“Oh, you’re making me grow old.”

“If I get older there, I’ll think I’m friends with the director.”

“… “Get out of the dugout quickly.”

Even quickly entering the dugout while avoiding the kicking weatherman. It was a perfect at-bat.

*

[Kim Chan-young breaks down here! Choi Si-Woo’s Three Run! Now your score increases by 2 points!]

[Choi Si-woo has not been able to hit a home run for two weeks, but today he is relieved.]

[I think this is the end for Kim Chan-young, right? In the end, I couldn’t last 5 innings. [I am going down after giving up 4 runs in 4 2/3 innings.]

[The next player is the player who was called up this week, right? This is Kang Se-ho. This is a player who moved from JT Gold Eyes to AT Thunders through a triangle trade with Hyun-ho Jang. Last season, he recorded an ERA of 6.00 with 8 runs allowed in 12 innings.]

[Kang Se-ho, he is a player with a reputation for his command in the 2nd team, right? However, the drawback is that the velocity is a bit slow. I guess I’ll have to watch it today.]

[Kang Se-ho strikes out! This is how the 5th inning of Hwasan ends. Now we come back to the AT Thunders attack in the bottom of the 5th inning. And the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the 5th inning is Woo Kwan-hyung, the man with 2,999 hits.]

[I’m looking forward to seeing if we can set a record next inning. haha.]

At the beginning of the 5th episode, when the volcanic attack ended, the community…

-Now that the selection has been made, I have something to say haha.

ㄴㄹㅇ If you get 2 points against the AT bullpen, it’s really worth it.

-Wow, I thought we were going to lose today’s game because it got to 5 points in the 3rd inning, but how are we keeping up?

-Let’s just keep following this path!

-Ha, it doesn’t matter whether you win the fucking game or not, so just don’t set a record.

ㄴBut looking at the pitcher today, I don’t think it will be easy.

-Wow, if it wasn’t for Ji Maeng-ho’s home run, we would have been down by 1 point haha. A person who reflects on criticizing him for calling him a home run.

ㄴㅇㅅㅁㅅ

I believe… Siemens…

-Please, 3000 hits!

-All the other gals are watching our game too haha.

-Let’s find out how great a record 3000 hits is.araboja

-Whoa, I’m nervous. We’ve finally achieved a record of 3,000 hits in Korea.

ㄴI haven’t hit 3,000 hits yet. I’m excited ㄴㄴ

Honestly, if I see Lee Jin-ki today, I think he’ll just give up 3,000 hits.

“Dad, aren’t you coming to watch the Charlotte game today?”

“It’s no good because we’re losing.”

“What, why is there an AT game on?”

“Didn’t you get 3,000 hits today?”

“Is that right?”

Fans who watch baseball on TV… .

The attention of all baseball fans in Korea began to focus on the game between the AT Thunders and Hwasan Falcons held in Jamsil.

[I’m finally back. Bottom of the 5th inning, AT Thunders attack. The lead hitter is the heart of AT, a one-club man, leader, captain, and legend who has protected AT for 22 years. And the main character of 2999 hits is Woo Kwan-hyung.]

[Ha, I’m so nervous. How nervous is Woo Kwan-hyung right now?]

[Oh, Hwasan’s pitcher replacement. Starting pitcher Lee Jin-gi comes down from the mound and left-handed pitcher Kim Joo-young comes up.]

[This is an understandable substitution as Lee Jin-ki conceded 6 goals today. I think it will block the batting lineup of Woo Kwan-hyung, Boer, and Yoon Seong-tae.]

And Kim Joo-young threw the first pitch.

“cheek.”

[Haha, Kim Joo-young, maybe because he just came on the mound, the first pitch misses wide.]

Second ball.

“cheek.”

[Hey, this time Kim Joo-young threw a good ball, but Woo Kwan-hyung didn’t move either. Good pitching and good pitching plan.]

Third ball.

“cheek.”

[Do not touch the low curve at all. It was an amazing ball, but it must be disappointing for Kim Joo-young.]

Fourth ball.

“Base on balls!”

[…] … . Since it was a three-ball game, there was no need to compete too hard, right?]

“Jumma what? Wow, are you going to throw it away?”

“Look at the damage being done. “I’m about to start picking my ears.”

“and… . “Did you just skip it now?”

-What is it? Even if I’m not the main player, I have to compete.

-Ha, my team’s Seon Sunde is also embarrassed.

-Thank you Evan.

Profanity both online and offline

-Oooooh!

-What are you doing! Win!

-Let’s compete! Win! Win!

The booing that covered Jamsil. But the Hwasan players were not shaken at all.

[ah! Boer’s hit is in front of the second baseman! Second base, out! 1st base, out! All runners disappear! Two outs in one go!]

[Today, Hwasan’s strategy of competing as hard as possible with Woo Kwan-hyeong, who is in good condition, and forcing Boer to hit hard, seems to have worked well.]

“Ugh!”

When Kim Joo-young, who led Boer’s double play, celebrated by punching the air like a boxer, the booing that covered Jamsil got louder. However, even those boos could not dampen the fighting spirit of the Hwasan players.
