Channel A's 'Baseball Queen 2' delivers intense tension as the Black Queens play their first international match. In the sixth episode, airing on the 13th at 10 PM, a heated international exhibition game between the Black Queens and Taiwan's Taoyuan悟空 baseball team will be revealed.

In this game, Jang Soo-young, the original ace of the Black Queens, took the mound as the starting pitcher. However, from the early innings, she struggled, caught off guard by the Taiwanese batters' consecutive hits and aggressive baserunning. In particular, the dazzling baserunning displayed by the Taiwanese team's leadoff hitter, a former track and field athlete, surprised both the Black Queens players and coaching staff. Additionally, Jang Soo-young stumbled during her pitching motion, committing a balk and bringing trouble upon herself.

Watching Jang Soo-young struggle with her control, pitching coach Yoon Seok-min fell into deep concern. Considering the team's overall pitching schedule, Coach Yoon expressed his worries, saying, "If Jang Soo-young collapses early, it will be difficult to mount a full pitching effort the next day." After finishing the inning, Jang Soo-young was seen collecting herself, saying, "I went back and forth between heaven and hell. Get a grip, Jang Soo-young!"

There were also disappointments on defense, not just on the mound. Joo Soo-jin committed consecutive errors, leading to a scene where she blamed herself. At that moment, upon returning to the dugout, Joo Soo-jin received advice from Manager Choo Shin-soo, who stabilized the player's mentality by saying, "What's done is done. Forget about the error and just focus on the remaining innings."

Meanwhile, 'Baseball Queen 2' is dominating the Fundex chart in the first week of August amid soaring popularity. It ranked 6th in the TV Non-Drama Buzzworthy category and 7th in the TV-OTT Non-Drama Buzzworthy category, making the TOP10 for four consecutive weeks. In particular, it proudly took 1st place in the Thursday Non-Drama Buzzworthy and Male Viewer Interest categories. The previous fifth episode recorded a peak viewership rating of 2.0% based on Nielsen Korea's national paid broadcasting households, gaining strong support from evening viewers.
