Kim Do-young started as the second batter and third baseman in a home game against the Gwangju Hanwha Eagles on May 4 and hit a solo home run to the left in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Kim Do-young, who achieved the first monthly “10 homers-10 steals” in the KBO league in April, recorded his 11th home run of the season and tied for the lead in the home run category with Kang Baek-ho (KT), Peraza (Hanwha), Choi Jeong (SSG) and Han Yu-seom.
In the bottom of the first inning, Park Chan-ho doubled and Kim Do-young survived with an infield hit, and Choi Hyung-woo’s infield grounder scored the first run, and subsequent batter Socrates hit a two-run home run to lead 3-0.
KIA added two runs with Han Jun-su’s timely hit and Choi Won-jun’s double to make it 5-0 with two outs and runners on first and second bases.
In the second inning, Choi Hyung-woo’s double added one run, Han Jun-su hit a two-run timely hit, and Choi Won-jun also hit an RBI single, leading 9-0.
In the fifth inning, Kim Do-young added one more run with a large left-wall solo home run to seal the victory early.
In the top of the ninth inning, the Hanwha Eagles scored two points thanks to Noh’s solo homeruns, but the score was not sufficient to turn the tide. KIA defeated the Hanwha Eagles 10-2 and continued its lead by one game with NC (22 wins and 13 losses), ranking second, with 23 wins and 12 losses for this season.
KIA starter Crowe struck out six times in five innings, blocked two hits and no runs, and won his fifth win (one loss) of the season, tying for the lead in multiple wins with Won Tae-in (Samsung).
