The "strongest baseball" Breakers have attracted viewers with a fierce neck-and-neck race.

The 132nd episode of JTBC's baseball entertainment program "The Greatest Baseball" (planned by Hwang Kyo-jin, director Sung Chi-kyung, Ahn Sung-han, and Jung Yoon-ah) played a match between the Breakers and Deoksu in Game 6 of the strongest cup qualifying round.

As a result of the qualifying round, the Breakers went straight to the "strongest series" as No. 1, and they were confirmed to face the independent league national team, which came up through the playoffs. Along with the exciting game that makes your hands sweat, the 132nd episode of "The Greatest Baseball" viewership rose vertically to 1.0%, igniting the upward trend. (based on Nielsen Korea's paid households in the metropolitan area)

At the bottom of the first inning, when Kwon Hyuk started, the Breakers lost a point first with two outs and runners on first and third bases. While catcher Kim Woo-sung, pitcher Kwon Hyuk, and fielders moved to stop Deoksu Eom Jun-sang, who attempted to steal, Lee Kun-hoo, who was on third base, jumped home and scored the first point. Coach Jang Sung-ho emphasized the importance of the catcher in the game and showed the dignity of the "Tiger Coach," and Kim Woo-sung strengthened his will to grow, saying, "I will try not to make such a mistake next time."

The Breakers immediately turned the tables. In the top of the second inning, Jung Min-joon, who had a lot of double plays, entered the batter's box with no outs and a bases loaded. Director Lee Jong-beom said, "You can hit a double play, so do your swing. He instilled confidence in Jung Min-joon, saying, "Hit the ground ball hard." As if to repay coach Lee Jong-beom's belief, Jung Min-joon scored an RBI with a strong ground ball and sprint, avoided double play, and broke his jinx. The Breakers then succeeded in a double tag-up operation with close base play, turning it around 2-1.

At the end of the second inning, Deoksu caught up with one point, leading to a tense game with a 2-2 tie, and at the end of the third inning, Deoksu turned the tables and led 2-3. The two teams then fought a fierce battle without scoring. Noh Soo-kwang, who pinch-hit in the top of the sixth inning, raised the mood by succeeding in stealing a base following a leadoff batter's walk, and Um Joon-sang of Deoksu High School took the mound in Lee Hak-joo's at-bat with a good batting sense, delivering even more eye-catching tension.

An unexpected crisis arose for the Breakers in the bottom of the seventh inning. Choi Jin-haeng and Noh Soo-kwang collided during the outfield defense, and the two were out of power due to injuries. Manager Lee Jong-beom, who has already used all the fielder replacement cards, is in agony. Coach Lee Jong-beom said, "I hoped it wasn't a big injury," adding, "It was disastrous inside because there were no players to replace due to unexpected injuries."

After consideration, manager Lee Jong-beom sent out pitcher Yoon Hee-sang as Roh Soo-kwang's pinch hitter in the top of the eighth inning and pitcher Yoon Gil-hyun as Choi Jin-haeng's pinch hitter. Attention was drawn to the quaint scenery of two pitchers entering the batter's box. Yoon Hee-sang said, "I knew the fielders were doing their best, so even if I were a pitcher, I wanted to swing and strike out," and surprised everyone by making a foul ball and showing off unexpected batting talent. Unfortunately, the Breakers failed to make a further turnaround and gave up the victory thanks to Deoksu 2-3.

Regardless of the result of the match against Deoksu High School, the Breakers went straight to the "strongest series" by winning first place in six games as a result of the preliminary round. In the playoffs, where the second-ranked independent league national team and the third-ranked Deoksu in the preliminary round faced off, the independent league national team won and confirmed their advance to the "strongest series." As a result, the "strongest series" raised expectations as the Breakers and the strong opponent's independent league team faced off.
