Weiss continued his perfect march through the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fifth inning, he also hit Choi with a fly ball to the left field and Na Seong-beom with a ground ball to the shortstop, recording 14 consecutive hitters. He sent out Kim Seon-bin to third baseman Noh Si-hwan’s error, breaking his perfect march, but he did not falter. He returned Lee with a fly ball to the shortstop.
His pitching continued. He allowed three outs and three outs in the sixth and seventh innings. He allowed no hits in seven innings. Weiss kept the mound in the eighth inning. However, he was hit by a one-run homerun by leadoff hitter Na Sung-bum. It was his first hit and first run lost in the game. He then handled Kim Sun-bin with a fly ball to shortstop and Lee Woo-sung with strikeouts, but retired after receiving hits from Han Jun-su and Park Jung-woo.
Park Sang-won took over the baton and caught Park Chan-ho with a ground ball to third base to end the inning without losing a point.
Hanwha lost three points in the bottom of the ninth inning with its team leading 4-1. Weiss also lost victory. However, Jang Jin-hyuk scored a point in the top of the 10th inning to make the team laugh.
Although he failed to become the winning pitcher of the game, Weiss has continued to display good pitching. He has posted an ERA of 1.00 with three wins and 27 innings of nine hits (two homers) with six strikeouts and six strikeouts.
After the game, Weiss said, “One of the good things about the last few starts is that the team won. I’m happy with that,” adding, “Every time I take the mound, I think it’s very good to be able to contribute to my team’s victory.”
It was the third showdown between Weiss and Kia. In the previous two matches, Weiss allowed five runs (three earned runs) in six innings and four runs in five innings, respectively, but he pitched a pitch that overwhelmed Kia’s batters on the day.
“There were some struggles against the KIA lineup in the last showdown, but I was very satisfied with the pitching. The opposing batters also hit well,” he said. “This time, I think I won because I threw well, but I will try a lot to win every game when I go to the mound.”
Hanwha is racing toward its postseason goal. It is ranking sixth with 59 wins, two draws and 63 losses. It is one game behind KT Wiz at No. 5 and 1.5 games behind Doosan Bears at No. 4.
Weiss said, “I think today’s game is also very important. I think every game is very important for the semi-finals,” adding, “I will try to win as many games as possible. I think the rest of the games in September will be a lot of fun. I will try to win as many games as possible.”
Weiss, who signed a formal contract with Hanwha as a “short-term alternative foreign player,” is expected to continue his good pitching show.
