A losing streak that came after 12 consecutive wins. Will Hanwha Eagles be able to rise once again.

Hanwha lost 1-7 at home against the Doosan Bears at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 14th.

Ahead of the three consecutive games during the week against Doosan, Hanwha boasted the best team atmosphere. He has won 12 consecutive games for the first time in 33 years since 1992, when he was with the Binggrae Eagles. If Doosan grabs all three consecutive games, it would have been possible to break the club's record of 14 consecutive wins, which was the most consecutive wins achieved at the time, and to win 15 consecutive games.




It was twisted from the first game. Ryu Hyun-jin held on with one run in six innings, but lost after extra-time blood clots. Choi In-ho's tiebreaking two-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning wanted to bring the atmosphere, but he eventually gave up the game with a run in the top of the 11th inning.

Hanwha, which has lost 12 consecutive wins, calmly prepared for the next game.

Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon emphasized composure. Ahead of the match on the 14th, head coach Kim said "You can't win every day. The players are doing so well. The fans want to win more, but the coach said, "Thank you to the players for one game, one game." "I think Doosan was a little more desperate for yesterday's game (13th). Seeing that Im Jong-sung, who missed a foul fly, hit a timely hit, I think baseball is very strange. Ryu Hyun-jin pitched really well, but it's a pity that he didn't win and finished. I'll forget about yesterday and prepare well for today's game" he said.

The game didn't go as well as I thought. Starting pitcher Moon Dong-ju played a basic role with three runs in five innings. He was shaken in the beginning, but he held on to the mound without collapsing.

Doosan's concentration was even better. Starting pitcher Zach Rogue was suddenly replaced by a hit in the bottom of the fourth inning, but the bullpen's relay hit continued.

Hanwha, which could not easily create a chance, took a full base chance with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning. Hanwha, which failed to save its chance with no outs in the game on the 13th, failed to take advantage of the opportunity again this time. Choi In-ho, who hit a 'theatrical home run' the previous day, lowered his head by hitting a double play against Ko Hyo-joon.




Hanwha lost 1-7 and lost for the second time in a row. There has also been a change in the rankings. Hanwha handed over the top spot to LG. LG has recorded 8 wins and 2 losses in 10 games, including the last 5 consecutive wins while Hanwha has won consecutive games. In 14 games, Kiwoom also crushed 12-0.

A long winning streak is often followed by a 'aftermath'. Last year, Hanwha eventually collapsed after losing seven consecutive games and losing five consecutive games after one win.

I have high hopes that it will be different this season. The starting lineup is solid, so it is not easy to fall into a losing streak. After the past eight consecutive wins, he has won 12 consecutive games after two consecutive losses, and has overcome the crisis of the 'after-game winning streak'.

Um Sang-baek will be the starting pitcher on the 15th. Um Sang-baek has been looking forward to signing a four-year contract with Hanwha for a total of 7.8 billion won ahead of this season, but he has yet to gain strength with 1 win, 3 losses and an ERA of 5.64 in seven games. He was also shaken by four runs in three ⅔ innings against Kiwoom on the 9th, his latest appearance.

If Um Sang-baek succeeds in restoring his honor, he will welcome SSG Landers again with Cody Ponce, Ryan Weiss and Ryu Hyun-jin. For Hanwha, I just hope that a pleasant formula will be made.
