Lee Joo-hyung of the Kiwoom Heroes was excluded from the selection.

Kiwoom organized the starting lineup with Song Sung-moon (third baseman), Puig (left fielder), Cardinez (right fielder), Choi Joo-hwan (first baseman), Lee Hyung-jong (designated hitter), Kim Tae-jin (second baseman), Lim Byung-wook (middle fielder), Kim Jae-hyun (captor), and Eo Jun-seo (striker) in the away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 14th.

Lee Ju-hyung, who was replaced after he fell and injured his ankle while running to first base after hitting in the top of the first inning the previous day, was also excluded from the starting lineup.




Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said of Lee Ju-hyung, "'I tripped over my leg during the base run, and it was a previous injury.'" He said he was okay. The team is also in an urgent situation. However, it is not perfect from the field, but I excluded it from the starting lineup because I thought it would be better to come in after completely improving the batting balance that was good during the reorganization period in the Futures League."

Lim Byung-wook, who played as a substitute the previous day and showed good batting, stepped up in Lee Ju-hyung's position. Lim Byung-wook performed well the previous day with three hits and three RBIs in four at-bats. He hit an RBI single in the top of the fifth inning and a two-run tie in the top of the sixth inning. He also came out as the leadoff hitter in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 6-9, and hit a heavy hit to signal his final counterattack.

Coach Hong said of Lim Byung-wook, `Yesterday, I played as a substitute, but I think the goal was good and the active in-play hitting led to good results.'




The starter on the day was Kenny Rosenberg, Kiwoom's first starter and the only foreign pitcher. He is the ace who will break his team's four-game losing streak.

Coach Hong said, `Even if I don't stress it to the players, I know that the players have a high probability (to win) when Rosenberg comes out, so I think the players will recognize it well and play"I wanted the players to concentrate.
