‘A Clean Sweep’ Monsters achieved 10 consecutive wins

In the 91st episode of JTBC's entertainment program 'A Clean Sweep', which aired at 10:30 pm on the 22nd, Monsters won 13 to 11 over Inha University, playing a game that was more like a drama than a drama.
Yoo Hee-gwan, who started this game, began to falter after allowing a hit to the leadoff batter in the top of the 5th inning. In the end, Moon Kyo-won was allowed a tying home run, and the subsequent batters also gave up hits and were punished. Jang Won-sam, who came to the mound in a crisis situation with 1 out and 2nd and 3rd bases on base, gave up 1 point with a sacrifice fly, allowing Inha University to turn the tables.
The Monsters immediately revived the spark of the chase. Kim Moon-ho, who showed great hitting ability in this game, laid the foundation for the attack by hitting a double that hit the wall directly. Added to this was Jeong Geun-woo's sacrifice fly and Im Sang-woo's clean, timely hit, the Monsters turned the score around 8-7. The Monsters players were delighted with Im Sang-woo's play, which once again overturned Moon Kyo-won's performance, saying, "We have Sang-woo." Commentator Kim Seon-woo also praised him, saying, “How could you not love this player? He is truly a great player.”
Ace Lee Dae-eun took the mound to protect the regained lead. However, contrary to expectations, the leadoff hitter allowed a hit, showing signs of uncertainty. Afterwards, Lee Dae-eun, who was hit by a long hit by Moon Kyo-won and a 3-run home run by the next batter, came back from behind again and eventually came down from the mound. As Monsters ace Yoo Hee-gwan and Lee Dae-eun collapsed one after another, those watching were overcome with anxiety.
However, the Monsters began to focus on the opportunity to attack again. In the bottom of the 6th inning, when the opposing pitcher could not control his pitch, the Monsters reached base with a series of walks and reached base with no outs. Sang-Hyuk Yoon and Jae-Wook Park also got on base with a walk and added 2 runs through a push, so the Monsters immediately brought the game back to square one, creating a tense atmosphere.
The opportunity to load the bases reached Jeong Geun-woo, the devil in scoring position. When Jeong Geun-woo, who was looking for a chance, hit a long ball that went deep inside the line, all the runners started sprinting. Jeong Geun-woo's hit even made Kim Moon-ho, who was the runner on first base, reach home base. The Monsters, who added 3 points thanks to the performance of Jeong Geun-woo, who became the leader of the comeback, turned the game around once again with a score of 13 to 10.
Shin Jae-young, who took the mound as the fourth pitcher following Yoo Hee-gwan, Jang Won-sam, and Lee Dae-eun, repeatedly told himself to focus so as not to lose the lead. Then, catching his breath, he faced Inha University batters with his specialty, the slider.
The Inha University dugout couldn't hide their surprise at Shin Jae-young, who was able to land strikes with ease, saying, "He's so good today," and "His slider is ridiculous." Shin Jae-young, who finished with a light three-way retreat, continued his three-way retreat in the 8th inning to block Inha University's pursuit.
After a match that went back and forth, the Monsters finally achieved a thrilling victory over Inha University with a score of 13 to 11. Monsters, who achieved 10 consecutive wins for the first time in history, swept the stage and maintained an unbreakable win rate of 100%.
Monsters' next opponent is the professional team Lotte Giants. This game, held at the Giants' home stadium, Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan, was the first match in Busan since 'A Clean Sweep' aired and the first match against a professional team this season. A match is expected between the Monsters and the Lotte Giants, which includes many former Giants players, including the Giants' eternal number 10 Lee Dae-ho, Kim Moon-ho, and Song Seung-jun.
