Park Yong-taik jokes about striking out four times before upcoming match

The Fire Fighters aim for their 13th season victory against Gunsan Sangil High School in the 25th episode of 'Fire Baseball 2' releasing on the 9th. With only four matches remaining, the team needs at least three more wins to reach their 15-win target and avoid salary cuts.

In the 25th episode of the Studio C1 baseball entertainment show 'Fire Baseball 2' releasing on the 9th, the Fire Fighters will attempt to achieve their 13th season victory against Gunsan Sangil High School. Before the match, captain Park Yong-taik met with fans and caused laughter on set by stating, "I'll come back after striking out four times."

The Fire Fighters currently hold a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, with a goal of reaching 15 wins for the season. With four matches remaining, they need at least 3 wins and 1 loss to reach that target. Under conditions where salaries are cut in the event of a loss, Park Yong-taik has been secretly struggling during a three-game losing streak. Park Yong-taik currently holds the highest on-base percentage among players who have met the required number of plate appearances.

Jeong Hun, who missed out on MVP despite leading the previous game to victory with a two-run home run, will attempt to be the standout player again in this match. The broadcast also features a scene where manager Kim Sung-keun sighs while evaluating Jeong Hun's bold upper swing.

Gunsan Sangil High School, entering the match in a determined mode, plans to suppress the Fire Fighters' hitting momentum by utilizing a hidden card. Jung Eui-yoon and Jeong Seong-hun, who have recently shown good hitting form, will face an opponent reported to have a maximum pitching speed of 153km/h.

Episode 25 of 'Fire Baseball 2' can be viewed on the official Studio C1 YouTube channel at 8:00 PM on Monday the 9th.
