Is it a home run or a mistake. the end of the ninth inning in chaos. Still, I laughed at the end.

SSG Landers have one valuable win. SSG won the LG Twins 5-4 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 24th.

The game was decided in the bottom of the ninth inning. On this day, the two teams played a super-contact game, fighting back and forth. LG scored the first run in the top of the third inning, but SSG was the best in the bottom of the third inningHan Yu-sum's successive timely hits succeeded in turning the game around 2-1. LG came from behind with Austin Dean's two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning. Then, SSG tied the game again with Choi Jeong's solo homer in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Ko Myung-joon's come-from-behind homer in the bottom of the sixth inning gave it a 4-3 lead.




But it was a difficult game until the end. LG tied the game again with Park Hae-min's timely hit in the top of the eighth inning. It was regrettable that Park Hae-min was tagged out at second base and could not lead to further points, but the game was brought back to square one.

However, SSG changed the atmosphere again in the bottom of the ninth inning. After one out, Park Sung-han doubled to create a scoring chance against LG's must-win group Kim Jin-sung. LG Battery skipped Choi Jung with four pitches on purpose and chose to play against Han Yu-seom with one out and runners on the first and second bases.

After the first strike, the second fastball was 141km. Han Yu-seom aimed for the ball that went high outside and pushed it. At the moment of being hit, the angle of launch and the speed of hitting were like home runs. Han Yu-sum, who hit the ball, also thought it was a home runHe even said ."




However, the ball unfortunately fell right in front of the fence. The moment he failed to cross the fence and fell in front of it, it appeared to be a flyout.

That's when the twist happened. LG left fielder Kim Hyun-soo, who was chasing the ball to the front of the fence, seemed to have reached his glove with one hand and succeeded in catching it, but he couldn't completely catch it and the ball fell back to the floor. The ball was connected late, but SSG's second baseman is already coming home from third base. It was the completion of SSG's 5-4 walk-off victory.

It was a chaotic bottom of the ninth inning, but in the end, the winning SSG laughed. Especially for SSG, this day was 'Bulpenday'. With Moon Seung-won's injury leaving a hole in the starting rotation, left-hander bullpen Kim Gun-woo came out as a substitute starter. The bullpen day had been announced in advance because Kim Gun-woo could not take a lot of pitches.

Furthermore, LG's starting pitcher is Yoni Chirinos, the first starter. I thought SSG's chances of winning were slim because it met a difficult opponent. However, SSG hitters succeeded more than half with four runs in five ⅔ innings against Chirinos with persistent concentration, and Kim Gun-woo also scored one run in two ⅔ innings. Choi Min-joon, Park Si-hoo, Lee Ro-woon, Noh Kyung-eun, and Cho Byung-hyun, who took the mound afterwards. It was a victory worth more than one win for SSG, which had a close game by mobilizing all the must-win groups.
