Hanwha won a 10-3 victory in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League home game at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 2nd thanks to the explosion of its batters who had 14 hits.
Hanwha, which rebounded sharply after seven consecutive losses and recovered by winning seven consecutive games, still ranked eighth with 45 wins, 53 losses and two draws, but narrowed its gap with the fifth-place team (SSG Landers), the final line of autumn baseball, to 4.5 games.
The victory is all the more meaningful because it secured the win over the leading Kia Tigers, who were absolutely inferior this season. The team has secured three wins and nine losses overall in this season.
During the seven-game winning streak, Hanwha boasted its overwhelming batting power by ranking first in both the team batting average of 0.349 and 66 points.
Noh Si-hwan hit his 20th homer of this season with a three-run homer, taking the lead from the first inning. It was a meaningful shot to surpass 20 homers for the second consecutive year. He has a batting average of 0.481 (13 hits in 27 times at bat) and two homers and 12 RBIs during his winning streak, including five hits and five RBIs from five times at bat on the day.
Noh, who became the fourth batter of the Korean national team last year, experienced ups and downs in this season by winning the title of “two hits” and homeruns. He had a batting average of 0.254 through April and six homers each in May and June, but he still had regrets.
He slightly elevated his batting average in July, but hit only one homerun. However, he has been displaying strong batting performance by leading Hanwha’s consecutive wins. Notably, he left a meaningful personal record on the day as well as a cannonball that gives the team a win early on.
On the day, starting pitcher Kim Ki-joong also pitched five ⅓ innings of two runs to secure five wins (two losses) in this season. Starting pitchers have won four times in a row, and the starting pitchers are stabilizing.
Most pleasing to the batting lineup is that the players who are supposed to help are doing their part. Noh Si-hwan, Ahn Chi-hong, who is batting .423 (11 hits in 26 times at bat), and Chae Eun-seong, who is batting .323 (10 hits in 31 times at bat), have four homers and 12 RBIs, leading the batting average of his team reaching a whopping 0.349 during the period.

Along with the explosion of dynamite batters, the team set a meaningful record on the day. Hanwha, which had created a huge box office sensation since the beginning of this season, sold out its 37th home game (12,000 seats) on the day, breaking the previous record by surpassing the 36th inning set by the Samsung Lions in 1995.
Of the 53 home games this season, 37 have been sold out, accounting for 69.8 percent of the total. A total of 598,943 people visited Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park in 53 games, and the average attendance amounted to 11,301. The team is poised to break the record of the largest number of spectators (734,110; 10,196 on average) recorded in 2018. As the average occupancy rate of the stands at 94.2 percent, it is hard to find empty seats in home games this season.
He also set a new record of selling out 17 consecutive home games from the final game against the Lotte Giants on Oct. 16 to the game against the SSG Landers on May 1. This is also a new record that exceeds Samsung’s 12th consecutive game in 1995.
Hanwha, which is entertaining home fans with a series of wins, will hold a fan thank-you event to mark the new record of the season’s most sold-out in a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 10th.
