SSG will play a doubleheader against the KIA Tigers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th.
The first game is a victory for SSG. While starting pitcher Mitch White allowed three runs (two earned runs) in five innings, Han Doo-sol (one run in ⅔ innings), Kim Min (⅓ scoreless), Noh Kyung-eun (two scoreless innings) and Cho Byung-hyun (one scoreless inning) kept the mound in order.
Amid the pitcher's good pitching, he scored eight points with 12 hits in the lineup, and escaped three consecutive losses with an 8-4 victory.
On this day, SSG is waiting for a milestone. Choi Jung is challenging for the first 500 home runs in the KBO league by hitting 499 home runs the previous day (10th).
Ahead of the game, SSG coach Lee Sung-yong said, `I thought I would play in the match against Lotte, but I did. Choo Shin-soo was like that when he had 2000 hits. "I think he'll come out today."I cheered for Choi Jeong's home run.
The SSG team also put up a big prize. SSG will provide home run ball acquirers with gifts worth 17 million won, including season tickets, Skybox tickets, handwritten signature bats, and gift certificates through the 'BEYOND 500' event.
It was silent in the first game. Choi Jeong, who came out as the third and designated hitter, hit a double play in his first at-bat, and struck out in his second at-bat. Choi Jeong, who later grounded out, picked up four pitches in his fourth at-bat, but struck out in the eighth inning.
A home run that didn't come out of five at-bats. I'll try again in the second round of the doubleheader. 3 - Listed in the starting lineup as a designated hitter.
On this day, SSG made the starting lineup in the order of Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Park Sung-han (striker), Choi Jung (designated hitter), Ryan McBroom (right wing), Ko Myung-jun (first baseman), Kim Chan-hyung (second baseman), Kim Soo-yoon (third baseman), Shin Bum-soo (capture), and Chae Hyun-woo (left wing).
