Chun Jae-hwan's crazy diving catch stole the sweetness of finishing from SSG Landers. The result of the fiery four-pitch pitching match was a 1-1 draw.

SSG drew 1-1 after 11 extra innings in the first game of the week series against the NC Dinos at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 27th. The trust of the head coaches of both teams toward the starting pitcher was rewarded, but the lineup did not explode in the end.

Before the game, the two teams were tied for fifth place with a winning percentage of 50%. Both teams, which had a draw on the day, fell behind the winning Samsung Lions and fell to sixth place.




SSG's foreign player Eredia is scheduled to return to the first team on June 3. In his first appearance since injury in the Futures game against the Samsung Lions' second division on the day, he recorded no hits and two strikeouts in four at-bats.

SSG coach Lee Sung-yong, who met before the game, said, `The first priority is to regain the sense of play by playing the game rather than accompanying the first team. If only Herredia returns, the batting lineup will be complete," he said, expressing expectations. Anderson-White-Kim Kwang-hyun's first to third starters, Lee Woon-Noh Kyung-eun-Cho Byung-hyun's back door also showed solid trust.

NC is ranked No. 1 in the month with LG with 13 wins in May despite suffering from the hometown problem. NC manager Lee Ho-joon said, `We are strong in hardships. I think I'm better at baseball against a strong team," he said with a smile. Veteran players such as Son Ah-seop and Park Min-woo are in good condition. Now just waiting for Matt Davidson's return.

On this day, SSG played in the lineup of Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Park Sung-han (striker), Choi Jung (designated hitter), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Ko Myung-joon (first base), Choi Joon-woo (left fielder), Ahn Sang-hyun (third base), Jung Joon-jae (second base), and Cho Hyung-woo (catcher). The starting player is ace Anderson.

NC faced Park Min-woo (2nd base), Kim Joo-won (2nd base), Son Ah-seop (right wing), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Kwon Hee-dong (left wing), Chun Jae-hwan (center fielder), Park Se-hyuk (captor), Kim Hwi-jip (third base), and Do Tae-hoon (1st base). Shin Min-hyuk came out as the starter.

SSG scored the first run in the bottom of the second inning. Leading hitter Han Yoo-som got on base with a double to the right-center, and Ko Myung-joon's hit made it to first and third bases with two outs. Choi Jun-woo then hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score the first run. However, Jung Joon-jae's hit failed to score additional points with two outs and runners on first and second bases.

Since then, Anderson and Shin Min-hyuk have pitched well side by side, leading to a long march of zero.

SSG Anderson tied the NC lineup tightly by mixing curves and changeups with a fastball of up to 155km. Five hits and no runs without four outs. Eight strikeouts were also impressive. NC's Son Ah-seop in the first inning, Chun Jae-hwan in the second inning, Park Min-woo in the third inning, Kwon Hee-dong in the fourth inning, and Do Tae-hoon (double) in the fifth inning hit one after another, but failed to connect with the score.

Shin Min-hyuk of NC, who faced off, is the opposite style. The maximum speed of the fastball is only 140km, but he competes with sophisticated ball control, slow control, and various breaking balls. Rather than fastballs (13), he threw sliders (26), changeups (27), and fork balls (22). Cooked SSG hitters with just three hits and one run in six innings.

Shin Min-hyuk treated all five innings except for the second inning with perfect and three-way withdrawal. SSG Anderson also did not make a flow by processing six to seven consecutive three-way withdrawals. NC's Lim Jung-ho, who took the mound in the seventh inning, also made a three-way exit.

In the top of the eighth inning, NC put the game to square one. Leading hitter Do Tae-hoon walked against veteran veteran SSG Noh Kyung-eun. With Park Min-woo's hit, runners on first and third bases with no outs. Here, Park Min-woo was out while trying to steal second base, but Kim Joo-won hit a timely hit that penetrated the second baseman to tie the game. Kim Joo-won's steal and Park Gun-woo's walk gave him a chance to turn the tables, but he failed to follow up.

SSG suffered the humiliation of 17 consecutive hitters failing to get on base in the third and eighth innings with two outs. After two outs in the eighth inning, Cho Hyung-woo barely broke the flow as he walked out with a ball that hit the body of NC's must-win group Bae Jae-hwan. The pinch runner Hong Dae-in stole second base, but failed to score.

SSG was responsible for the victory until the top of the ninth inning. Cho Byung-hyun, who finished in the top of the 10th inning, and Kim Min, a must-win group in the top of the 11th inning, showed their will to win.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Park Sung-han hit his first hit since Ko Myung-joon in the bottom of the second inning against NC closer Ryu Jin-wook, and chances for first and second bases with two outs continued, but he failed to score. He also failed to attack NC's Kim Jin-ho in the bottom of the 10th inning.

NC also raised Son Joo-hwan to keep the draw in the bottom of the 11th inning. SSG's first batter, Jihoon Choi, got on base with a hit, and the next batter, Park Sung-han, hit a hit that could penetrate the left-center, but was blocked by NC center fielder Chun Jae-hwan's crazy diving catch. Choi Jeong-do then stepped down with a fly ball to right field.

NC was cautious by putting in the entire civilian population at the last minute. Jeon Sa-min caught Han Yu-seom with a fly ball to end the game in a draw.
