The Spark Fighters will take on Dongguk University, a powerhouse in college baseball tradition, as they look to extend their winning streak.
SBS Plus will exclusively broadcast 'Special Spark Baseball Live Broadcast - Spark Fighters vs Dongguk University' on July 26 at 2 p.m., with commentary by Lee Soon-chul and casting by Jung Woo-young.
Dongguk University, founded in 1946, is a prestigious college baseball powerhouse that has achieved 21 national championship titles and produced KBO stars such as Ko Young-pyo and Choi Ji-hoon. Manager Lee Geon-yeol, who leads the team, is a master strategist who has surpassed 100 wins as a single-team manager at Dongguk University and will engage in a tactical battle with 'Baseball Legend' manager Kim Sung-keun, who has recorded 1,384 career professional wins.
Dongguk University aims to halt the Spark Fighters' live broadcast winning streak, led by All-Star infielder Lee Jung-ho and captain Kim Kyung-hwan, the national team outfielder and holder of the most hits record.
In response, there is keen interest in what bold lineup move Spark Fighters manager Kim Sung-keun will make following his decision to start Jung-hoon and deploy Shin Kyung-hun in the previous game. In particular, how Kim Ji-soo, the senior coach who graduated from Dongguk University and was officially promoted after the victory against the Ulsan Whales, will assist manager Kim Sung-keun with tactical analysis against his alma mater is a key point to watch.
The broadcast where fans can confirm whether the surging Spark Fighters can complete a pleasant four-game winning streak will air on SBS Plus on Sunday, the 26th at 2 p.m.
