Samsung lost 1-3 against Hanwha at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 6th, falling into a quagmire for four consecutive losses since the game against Doosan on the 3rd amid the confirmation of the loosing series.
KT Wiz, ranked fifth, narrowly maintained its fourth place by a half-game as it lost to NC, but the gap between LG and Hanwha, which tied for first, widened to four more games. Samsung, which has to fight for the lead amid the rebound, is in a hurry.
To make matters worse, the two key fielders were replaced by injuries during the game.
Koo Ja-wook left after being hit by a dune in his elbow, and Kang Min-ho was replaced after being hit in the collarbone and knee by a foul ball during defense.
Koo Ja-wook, who started as the third left fielder, got off to a good start in the top of the first inning with a clean right-handed hit that separates the first and second bases against Hanwha starter Ryu Hyun-jin.
However, he was hit in the right elbow by Ryu Hyun-jin's 145km fastball at the first pitch in his second at-bat after two outs in the top of the third inning when he was 0-0. There was a guard, but the intensity was considerable enough to make a puck sound. The moment he was hit, he screamed and fell to the plate.
Concerned, Ryu Hyun-jin came down from the mound and came all the way to the batter's box to check Koo Ja-wook's condition. Fortunately, he stood up quickly. However, he couldn't even smile at Ryu Hyun-jin, who approached him and apologized as if the pain was still there.
Koo Ja-wook, who went to first base, stepped on second base when Kang Min-ho walked and then homered when Diaz hit a timely hit to center field to score the first run. However, Koo Ja-wook was replaced by Kim Tae-geun ahead of the defense in the bottom of the third inning.

Koo Ja-wook, who had been hitting in seven consecutive games until the game against Doosan on the 4th, was silent with no hits in five at-bats against Hanwha on the 5th. However, he made a good hit from his first at-bat against Hanwha on the 6th, signaling a rapid recovery in his batting sense. Then, I took a breath for a while due to the unwelcome dune pain.

The club said "We will proceed with icing and treatment with simple right knee contusion due to foul ball." Kang Min-ho is healthy, but he is not sick due to a series of batting accidents. At a time when a seasoned lead and a role in the central lineup are urgently needed, it is not easy to control the condition.
Samsung has lost consecutive games and even two key players in offense and defense are out due to injuries during the game. It was a day full of regret that I lost both crabs and crabs.
