'Will Jang Soo-young of Black Queens in 'Baseball Queen 2' be able to overcome her slump?'

The fifth episode of Channel A's variety program 'Baseball Queen 2,' airing on the 6th, will reveal all details and results of a match where South Korea's 50th women's baseball team, Black Queens, faces Big Sitting in a "revenge game" after suffering defeat against them in Season 1.

Previously, in their third match of the season, Black Queens faced Big Sitting and maintained a narrow 1-0 lead through the top of the second inning. However, with the bottom of the second inning beginning, Black Queens found their opportunities to reach base and advance runners blocked by Big Sitting's solid defense. Starting pitcher Kim On-a struggled with control issues and failed to capitalize on scoring chances. In response, Coach Choo Shin-soo and coaches Lee Dae-hyung and Yoon Seok-min discussed strategies to prevent further runs and decided to bring in Jang Soo-young as a relief pitcher.

Although Jang had been the undisputed "ace starter" during Season 1, she was pulled from the mound in the top of the second inning of her team's second match against Hammer Storm after allowing consecutive walks. Now presented with a new opportunity, she steps onto the mound with determination. Pitching coach Yoon Seok-min, who had consistently supported Jang despite her recent struggles and led one-on-one intensive training sessions, encourages her, saying, "Do everything you can! Be confident!"

Jang Soo-young showcases her signature overpowering pitching ability, completely dominating opposing batters. From the dugout, exclamations like "That's right, this is what an ace does!" pour out. With self-hypnosis to "return as a proper pitcher," Jang continues to dominate the game. All eyes are now on whether she can successfully overcome her slump.

Meanwhile, during the early stages of the match against Big Sitting, left fielder Lee Soo-yeon, who had taken the lead with all-out base-running efforts, committed a sudden "wild throw" error in a defensive situation, causing panic among all members of Black Queens. Lee bowed her head deeply, saying, "This is my first time facing such a situation; I was flustered." Even afterward, Black Queens were helplessly shaken by Big Sitting's experienced base-running tactics. Coach Choo Shin-soo sighed, remarking, "We always miss these kinds of moments."
