Team batting average shock. Team home run. Come on, Rafak will save you

Samsung operates the Samsung Training Center (STC) in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. It boasts the highest authority in the treatment and rehabilitation of athletes. There is even a saying that even the sitting poor come out on foot.
Maybe that's why Samsung showed mercy in baseball as well. The Hanwha Eagles, which had not been that strong, came back to life. It's at Lions Park, not STC.
Samsung suffered a shock upset loss against the Hanwha Eagles at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 5th. Closer Kim Jae-yoon allowed Moon Hyun-bin to come from behind in the ninth inning. In fact, there were signs of bad luck even before that. At the top of the eighth inning, when the team was leading 5-1, Lim Chang-min, a must-win group, gave up home runs to Moon Hyun-bin and Lee Jin-young, allowing them to chase by up to one point.
Lions Park is the best 'Home Run Factory' in the KBO League. It is the only octagonal structure in Korea. The fence falls in a straight line from the center of the outfield to the left-right foul pole. So the distance to the left-right middle fence near the pole is very short. In other stadiums, the ball that will be an outfield fly becomes a home run.

The problem is that if it's easy for me to hit, it's easy for me to hit the opponent. In fact, until Samsung led 5-1 ahead of the top of the eighth inning, it almost won. Leaving Samsung's strong bullpen, Hanwha was losing four consecutive games. On top of that, it was the worst batting pace since the opening. Ahead of the match against Samsung on the 5th, the team's batting average was only 173. Team has only four home runs. It was about to lose its fighting spirit. Starter Ryu Hyun-jin pitched all-out, but he failed to beat Lions Park and allowed a home run, and the batters were on the verge of losing because they failed to score points.
However, home runs can change the depressed mood. When the home run hit twice in the eighth inning, the game began to change rapidly. And in the ninth inning with two outs, Moon Hyun-bin's dramatic come-from-behind final three-run shot broke out. It was a moment when the thrill flowed.

They shared three home runs equally, but Hanwha's nutritional value was much higher. That's how he died and came back to life. When such a game comes out, the trend will continue until the next day. The atmosphere of the dying team is clearly elevated by this dramatic shot of the game. Will Hanwha be able to survive under the energy of `Rapak'.
