The "strongest baseball" Breakers showed their determination to win by tying the game dramatically in the top of the ninth inning after a neck-and-neck race, but they lost unfortunately by allowing a walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning.
In the 135th episode of the JTBC entertainment program "The Greatest Baseball," which aired on the 26th, the second game of the "The Greatest Series" was played between the Breakers and the independent league team.
The Breakers played with the determination to secure the championship at Gocheok Dome, and the independent league national team, where many players are about to retire after the "strongest series," also expressed its determination to hold the second game and play one more game.
At the top of the first inning, Jin Hyun-woo, the starting pitcher of the independent league team, pitched with desperation, saying, "Today's game may be the last, so I want to play an unashamed game." Three players of the Breakers, Cho Yong-ho, Lee Dae-dae, and Choi Jin-haeng, returned to the third place.
Breakers starter Lee Hyun-seung showed off the momentum of the inning, saying, "I will throw as many innings as I can." Lee Hyun-seung neatly blocked the bottom of the first inning by taking away the timing of the batters with a slow curve, and head coach Lee Jong-beom praised the slow curve, saying, "Hyun-seung is okay with his nosebleed fighting spirit."
At the bottom of the second inning, coach Lee Jong-beom expressed expectations from captain Kim Tae-kyun. He said, "I'm asking for you. So work hard," he said, cheering, and Kim Tae-kyun succeeded in getting on base as the leadoff hitter with a ball hit by his body. Kim Tae-kyun appealed, saying, "I want to run," but coach Jang Sung-ho sent a sign saying, "No stolen bases." Na Ji-wan's walk on base and Lee Hak-joo's hit created a chance to load the bases with no outs, but Jung Min-joon's infield pop flyout and Huh Do-hwan's double play caused regret for not being able to score. At the end of the second inning, the independent league team scored first and led 0-1. Since then, the tight race has continued due to the good pitching relay of the starters from both teams.
Lee Hyun-seung, who was on the mound at the end of the sixth inning and showed a sharp pitch, showed rapid exhaustion of physical strength with one batter left until the quality start, inducing support. Lee Hyun-seung, who took away the batter's timing one after another with a slow breaking ball, got the batter on base with a pitch that hit his body, and came down from the mound with a regret that he failed to make a quality start. Lee Hyun-seung said, "I want to completely pitch in my heart," adding, "I wanted to show people how I am." He said he did his best to make up for the last game.
Yoon Seok-min, who took the mound following Lee Hyun-seung, allowed a hit due to poor control of his ball. Yoon Seok-min, who came down from the mound, expressed his mixed feelings, saying, "Batters are not tricked because the fastball is weak." Oh Hyun-taek, who took over the mound by Yoon Seok-min, escaped the crisis of losing points in the bottom of the sixth inning by showing the dignity of zero ERA.
With the 7th and 8th innings without both teams scoring and the independent league team still leading 0-1, a thrilling score was scored in the top of the ninth inning in the final attack of the regular inning by the Breakers. Lee Jung-kwon opened the scoring by hitting a hit in his first at-bat, which was replaced by a pinch runner. Lee Jung-kwon, who repaid the belief of Lee Jong-beom, who chose Lee Jung-kwon instead of a pinch-hitter card, sprinted home from first base to Na Joo-hwan's hit, avoiding the catcher's tag and tying the game.
However, in the bottom of the ninth inning, Oh Joo-won allowed a walk-off hit to Lee Jong-hyuk of the independent league team, and in the end, the Breakers lost the second game of the "strongest series." As a result, the Breakers won and lost 1 game in the 'strongest series', determining the winning team in the third game in Pohang.
