Ronnie Dawson, the No. 1 hitter with the most hits by the Kiwoom Heroes, was excluded from the starting lineup due to a shoulder injury. The good thing is that he only needs one or two games to rest, not a big injury. Kiwoom formed the starting lineup excluding Dawson in an away game against the LG Twins held in Jamsil on the 5th. With Dawson, who usually came out as the second batter, missing, the team formed a table setter with Lee Ju-hyung and Song Seong-moon as the second batter.고수익알바
Dawson started the game as a No. 2 left fielder at LG on Monday, and displayed stellar performance by making three hits and two RBIs from five times at bat, spearheading his team’s landslide 11-3 victory. However, he hurt his shoulder when he fell while playing defense in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Dawson caught Shin’s hit, as he rushed out with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the seventh inning when his team was leading 9-2. He grabbed the ball while lowering his glove as the ball was falling, and rolled his body once as he fell forward due to the elasticity he ran forward. Then, he turned around while touching the ground with his right arm, and felt pain as his shoulder touched the ground.
Dawson, who raised his left arm high in his glove for catching the ball, soon lay on the ground complaining of pain. The trainer ran and checked his condition, and fortunately, Dawson got up and walked back to the dugout.
When he was replaced by Bae Sang-kwon at bat in the top of the eighth inning, he found that he was not in a state of hitting, and he was also excluded from the starting lineup on the 5th, the next day.
Still, it is not a serious injury. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, “I think I need to take a rest for a day or two. It is not a big deal. The players themselves said it would be okay if I take a day or two off.”
I was dizzy at the time of the injury. “Just hearing the word ‘injury’ makes my heart throb,” Hong said. “In the past, Lee Jung-hoo also got hurt while doing that. At that moment, I was very worried because I thought of that.”
Dawson has posted a batting average of 371 percent, 85 hits, eight homers, 33 RBIs and 39 runs until Saturday. He ranks first in hits and third in hits. He is also leading Kiwoom’s batting average by ranking third with a 0.425. It is fortunate that the game is not a big injury, but playing without Dawson will inevitably weaken Kiwoom’s offense. Kiwoom lost 2:4 against LG without Dawson by scoring only two points.
