Kiwoom won the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League NC 6-4 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 23rd, escaping from its recent two-game losing streak and belatedly reaching 20 wins (28 losses).
It also ended its four-game losing streak against NC, which continued from the Changwon game on March 26 this year.
It was Dawson’s ability to solve the problem that saved the team.
When Song Sung-moon, the leadoff hitter, reached base with a hit in the middle in the eighth inning when the score was 4-4, Dawson made the second double of the game with a timely hit.
In the second base with one out, Lee Joo-hyung hit a hit toward the left field to widen the score to 6-4.

For Kiwoom, Dawson led the lineup with two hits, one RBI and two runs in four at-bats, and Lee Joo-hyung with two hits and three RBIs in four at-bats.
The first batter, Song Sung-moon, served as an offensive spearhead with one hit, two walks, one RBI and two runs in one at-bats.
Kiwoom, who had a chance to second and third base with no outs due to consecutive hits by Song Sung-moon and Dawson in the first inning, stepped down with Kim Hye-sung’s infield fly ball, but Lee Joo-hyung turned his bat coolly from the first pitch and hit a two-run timely hit.
NC shortstop Kim Joo-won jumped hard to catch Lee Joo-hyung’s ball, but he passed the glove slightly.
In the second inning, runners advanced one base by one with Kim Hwi-jip’s large fly ball in the first and second bases with no outs made by Lim Byung-wook and Kim Jae-hyun’s consecutive hits, and Song Sung-moon sent the ball back to the outfield to add one point with a sacrifice fly.
In the fifth inning, when he was leading 3-1, Kim Hwi-jip added one run to his team with his fifth home run of the season.
Kim Hwi-jip hit NC starter Kim Si-hoon’s high fastball and shot a 120m home run over the left-center fence.
NC started the chase with Park Han-kyul, a second-year professional outfielder, with his first consecutive at-bat home run.
Park Han-gyeol came out as the leadoff hitter in the fifth inning and hit a one-run home run over the left fence from Kiwoom starter Enmanuel de Heissus.
It is a valuable home run to break the team’s hitless hit, and Park Han-jeol’s first home run of the season.
And in the seventh inning, he also drew a one-point consecutive at-bat arch that went over the middle fence against Heysus, making it 2-4.
In the end, NC brought the game to square one with Kwon Hee-dong hitting a timely hit in the eighth inning with one out and runners on first and third bases, and Kim Sung-wook followed with a sacrifice fly again with one out and one full base.
Kim Sung-wook’s hit was short enough for Kiwoom right fielder Bae Sang-kwon to come near the infield and catch it, but third baseman Seo Ho-chul jumped boldly and scored the tying run.
NC managed to tie the game, but Kiwoom used its last-minute concentration to take the victory.
