McBroom started the home game against the Samsung Lions at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 30th as the third and designated hitter.
McBroom, who stood at the batter's box with one out and one on the first base in the bottom of the third inning when he was losing 1-3, hit Samsung starter Won Tae-in's slider in the middle of 1B1S without missing it and over the left fence. A big home run with a driving distance of 125 meters. It was his second home run of the season following his first home run on the 27th.
SSG recruited McBroom as a substitute for Guillermo Herredia's injury on the 20th. He hit his first home run on the 27th, but his batting average remained in the 10% range. He also experienced the humiliation of being replaced by a match partner in the previous day's game (29th).
SSG had a chance at first and second bases with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning with Jihoon Choi's walk and Choi Jun-woo's hit. In McBroom's at-bat, SSG was replaced by Choi Sang-min. McBroom didn't get a hit in the previous at-bat, with two strikeouts.
As a result, it turned out to be a failed operation. Choi Sang-min couldn't bunt, and eventually struck out at 2B2S.
SSG lost 1-3, failing to score in the bottom of the ninth inning along with a run in the top of the ninth inning. He has lost three games in a row.
Regarding the background of the replacement, SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said, `First of all, the hit itself is not working right now. I thought it would be easy for the batter to do so if I put it on the second and third bases because I had a burden when there was a runner. He lost one point, but he tried to play the game somehow as it led to hitters 4th and 5th. If it's not good, I think it's what the coach should do to try to solve it somehow."
He suffered the humiliation of being replaced by a pinch hitter in the game the previous day, but he completely recovered his self-esteem by hitting a shot at the moment he was needed. McBroom's home run balanced SSG 3-3.
