I solved my sadness of not being able to go home. He even caught Hanwha and recovered his winning rate of 50%.
The NC Dinos succeeded in 'Winning Series' against the Hanwha Eagles. In a game against Hanwha at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 22nd, NC won the game again with a score of 4-3.
It is all the more meaningful because Hanwha's starting pitcher was Cody Ponce, who set a new KBO record with 18 strikeouts and no runs in eight innings just before taking the mound. NC faced Ponce on the day and scored from the bottom of the first inning. It flowed according to the standard. First hitter Park Min-woo's hit came out, and he later stole second base. After two outs, Park Gun-woo's timely hit broke out to win the first point.
In the bottom of the second inning, after one out, he shook the opponent's battery with a hit by Chun Jae-hwan and a successful second base steal, and then connected the score with Park Se-hyuk's timely hit. NC, which tied the game 2-2 with two runs in the top of the second inning, was ahead of Ponce in the second half of the concentration, even if it failed to score an additional point.

He was dragged 2-3 but succeeded in turning the tables immediately in the bottom of the sixth inning. After two outs, he showed cohesion and scored two runs in an instant with four consecutive hits. Park Se-hyuk's equalizer and Kim Hwi-jip's come-from-behind hit. It was an achievement against the strong Hanwha bullpen.

It's a valuable victory. NC had a 2-1 victory over Hanwha in the Ulsan home series this week. NC, which has recorded 6 wins and 4 losses in its last 10 games, has recovered to a 50% winning rate by ranking fifth alone. This is the first time since the beginning of the season that the winning percentage of 50 percent has been achieved. NC, which was once in ninth place with a winning rate of around 30%, succeeded in rebounding in less than three weeks. It is also more valuable because it is a rebound against tricky teams such as Lotte, KT, and Hanwha.

As of the 22nd, NC is the No. 1 team winning rate in May. It is higher than LG (0.647) and Lotte (0.647) with 12 wins, one draw and five losses in 18 games played in May. Considering that his monthly performance in April was 7 wins, 13 losses, and 9th, he transformed into a completely different team in May. The mound has stabilized and the batters who have recovered from injuries are not easily withdrawn in every game, making good progress.
It is nothing short of a miracle for NC, who has been playing at home in Changwon for nearly two months and playing at home in Ulsan after twists and turns. NC`s novice head coach Lee Ho-joon has shown persistent baseball despite unstable environment and accumulated fatigue, adding stability to the team`s early trial and error.
