On this day's broadcast, the second half of the game between the Breakers and the independent league national team of the "Strongest Series" was unfolded, and after a close match, the Breakers, with Yoon Seok-min's painkiller fighting spirit, won the "Strongest Series."

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Breakers Kim Tae-kyun scored an RBI timely hit to widen the gap to 8-4, but the 8-6 margin narrowed to two points in the top of the seventh inning due to the fierce chase of the independent league team. The Breakers had a one-out full base chance with Kang Min-guk's sacrifice bunt and Lee Hak-joo and Cho Yong-ho's consecutive walks following batter Yoon Seok-min's walk on base in the bottom of the seventh inning. Thanks to Noh Soo-kwang's ground ball, the third baseman scored and led with a score of 9-6.

In the top of the eighth inning, the independent league team ignited the chase again. The runner advanced to second base with a walk and wild pitch, and even a hit, raising tension as the situation developed on the first and third bases with no outs. With the timely hit of Seo Min-kyu of the independent league team, which targeted Yoon Gil-hyun's slider, he gave one more point with a pitch that hit his body with two outs and a full base, a close game of 9-8.

At a desperate moment in the face of a reversal, coach Lee Jong-beom threw the final game. He put "Untouchable" Yoon Seok-min, who had been on hold due to injury, on the mound. Yoon Seok-min warmed up from the bullpen after taking painkillers, saying, "My blood is boiling as the game gets tight," and added, "If I can't throw it today, I think I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Even if it hurts, I will throw it without regret today," he said.

Yoon Seok-min immersed himself in the game without shaking in a situation where the game could be overturned with two outs and a bases loaded and a single hit. Although the ball fell behind the catcher and made the viewers sweat, Yoon Seok-min won the game with the most confident ball. The missed ball was sucked into Lee Hak-joo's glove and the first base throw was made stably, ending the breathtaking eighth inning.

Yoon Seok-min once again took the mound with a one-run gap in the top of the ninth inning. Yoon Seok-min confused the players of the independent league team with his solid control. When Lee Dae-hyung caught the third batter's ball after striking out two consecutive batters, Yoon Seok-min roared from the mound and gave a thrilling thrill. "As soon as Dae-hyung caught the ball, I thought he did it," he said, expressing his hot sincerity in the roar.

Kwon Jung-ho of the independent league national team, the strongest overall batting average in the cup tournament, won the best hitter award, while Oh Joo-won, who won the first game and played his role as a starting pitcher in the third game, won the best pitcher award. The series MVP went to Yoon Seok-min, the ace who saves the team from danger. Yoon Seok-min said, "I wanted to play baseball in front of the fans confidently, and I wanted to feel the sincerity," adding, "I'm so happy to have the result and I'll share this joy with the team."

Director Lee Jong-beom said, "At first, will it be '?"I was afraid to do it and there were many twists and turns, but I'm happy to win as a one-team team," Kim Tae-kyun, who won the much-anticipated victory, said, "I'm so happy that the 'winning' that I've been saying like a spell every day becomes a reality, and I think I won because all the players played their roles well."
