Will the Hanwha Eagles be able to sweep the opening two consecutive games with the energy of Hwang Young-mook, who hit 'the pinch-hit equalizer'.
Hanwha will play the second game of the opening two consecutive games against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 23rd.
Hanwha got off to a good start with a dramatic 4-3 come-from-behind victory in the opening game the previous day. At the beginning of the game, starter Ponce was shaken by consecutive runs, but Kim Tae-yeon's timely hit in pursuit did not relax.
And in the seventh inning, pinch hitter Hwang Young-mook hit a 2-2 tie double, and FA shortstop Shim Woo-joon, who played for KT until last year, hit a decisive come-from-behind final RBI double to turn the game around. Noh Si-hwan's wedge shot in the eighth inning made the score, and the closing main phenomenon in the ninth inning was shaken and chased up to one point, but he survived with Rojas' strikeout and first baseman An Chi-young's second base crossfire.

Was it because he wanted to continue his momentum the previous day. Coach Kim, who met before the game, explained, `Ahn Chi-hong complained of abdominal pain, so he replaced it with Hwang Young-mook.'
Coach Kim said he is not in a physical condition where he cannot participate in the game by predicting that `Ahn Chi-hong waits behind him.'
