He won the first point, but the additional point was rarely found.
It was because of the strong defense. After all, baseball is a game of flow.
Kiwoom Heroes won the first game of the week series against the LG Twins 9-3 at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 22nd.메이저놀이터
The score itself was a complete victory, but it was not an easy game. Kiwoom scored the first run thanks to Bae’s timely hit in the bottom of the first inning, and Song Seong-moon’s two-run timely hit in the bottom of the second inning gave the team a 3-0 lead. However, the team allowed three runs in the top of the sixth inning to tie the game instantly. Starting pitcher Ha Young-min’s requirement for a winning pitcher was also eliminated.
Still, Kim Hye-sung’s winning hit and Song Sung-moon’s wedge three-run shot continued in the bottom of the sixth inning to lead the game 7-3, and added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to seal the victory. Kim Sun-ki, who threw only ⅔ innings, became the winning pitcher somewhat shyly.
After the game, Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki secured Ha Young-min who gave three runs during five ⅔ innings first. “Ha Young-min allowed some runs, but he threw it to the ground with all his might,” Hong stressed. He also praised the subsequent pitching staff of Kim Sun-ki, Kim Yeon-ju, Kim Dong-wook and Joo Seung-woo for their scoreless performance against the LG slugger.
Most notable was the good defense that continued the trend of nervousness without additional points. In the fourth inning, Moon Bo-kyung hit a sharp ball toward the first base, but Kiwoom Choi Joo-hwan snatched it with a picturesque jump catch. In the fifth inning, Ko Young-woo’s good defense came out.
Coach Hong Won-ki looked back, “Choi Joo-hwan in the fourth inning and Ko Young-woo in the fifth inning broke the flow that almost went over.”
He added, “In the attack, we brought the atmosphere with the RBI of the centerline at the beginning of the game, and Song Sung-moon’s three-run home run and Choi Joo-hwan’s additional RBI in the second half of the game sealed the game.”
The difference between Kiwoom, which recorded 52 wins and 66 losses with the victory on the day, and the top five in the “Autumn Baseball Maginot Line” is still six games.
“Players are getting tired as we approach the end of the season, but we are energized thanks to fans’ support. We will repay you by playing our best until the end of the season. Thank you always,” Hong said.
