Flaming Fighters Suffer Heartbreaking 4-3 Loss to Yeoncheon Miracle After Late-Game Grand Slam

The Flaming Fighters experienced their second defeat of the 2025 season, losing a close 4-3 match to the Yeoncheon Miracle in the 27th episode of the baseball entertainment program 'Flaming Baseball,' aired on Studio C1's official YouTube channel.

The Fighters initially took the lead with a strong offensive showing in the 7th inning, scoring three runs thanks to clutch hits from Jeong Geun-woo and Park Yong-taik, along with Lee Dae-ho's timely single. Pitcher Yoo Hee-kwan delivered a solid performance through six innings, and relief pitcher Lee Dae-eun also suppressed the Miracle's lineup with his powerful throws.

However, the tide turned in the top of the 8th inning. Lee Dae-eun allowed a double and a walk before being replaced. Despite the change, relief pitcher Shin Jae-young struggled, giving up a walk to Lim Tae-yoon and then surrendering a go-ahead grand slam to Hwang Sang-joon, shifting the score to 4-3 in favor of the Miracle.

The Flaming Fighters had a chance to equalize in the bottom of the 9th after Jeong Geun-woo and Im Sang-woo reached base, but they were unable to overcome the Miracle's resilient pitching staff, ultimately falling by the narrow margin.

The broadcast of 'Flaming Baseball' Episode 27 garnered significant attention, surpassing 100,000 concurrent viewers within 19 minutes of its release.
