Wow, I didn't expect the bases loaded here to explode...

Kiwoom Heroes veteran Oh Sun-jin had a major accident. The previous day, he made an error and hit a finishing hit in the 10th inning to go back and forth between hell and heaven, and this time it is a preemptive grand slam.

Oh Sun-jin started as a 6th-striker in the final game of the weekend's three consecutive games against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 27th.




Oh Sun-jin surprised everyone by hitting a pre-emptive bases-loaded shot against SSG starter Kim Kwang-hyun in the third inning when both teams were facing 0-0.

Kiwoom's chance to load the bases with one out. Lim Ji-yeol struck out and almost lost steam. However, Oh Sun-jin, who is on the rise, did not let this slide. Oh Sun-jin technically rolled up Kim Kwang-hyun's body curve with a ball count of 2B2S.

The ball hit in good timing from the front continued to fly toward the outfield. At first, the ball that was likely to be caught near the fence did not fall. SSG left fielder Choi Jun-woo followed, and the ball headed toward the left foul pole.




Suddenly, cheers erupted in the Kiwoom stands on the third base. The ball hit the bottom of the foul pole and fell. It was a home run. The judges made a video review, clearly hitting the pole. Kim Kwang-hyun looks stunned.

Oh Sun-jin is a typical 'tick' type with only 18 home runs since he became a professional in 2008. He hit three home runs for the Samsung Lions in the 2022 season, and there have been no home runs since then. The most recent home run was against Hanwha Eagles on June 26, 2022. It was the first home run in 1,036 days.

And it was also his first grand slam. I hit 'Awesome' for two days in a row.
