2 hits in 37 at-bats → Closing error Roh Si-hwan's nightmare week, Hanhwa lives only when he wakes up
The game between Hanwha and KIA at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 8th, and Hanwha Noh Si-hwan, with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the bottom of the 10th inning, was disheartened when KIA Ko Jong-wook hit a grounder to second base and suffered a walk-off loss.

Everyone is frozen. It was a walk-off error that blew too much. Roh's worst week came to an end.

The Hanwha Eagles played a fierce three-game series against the KIA Tigers in the away series in Gwangju last weekend. On the first day of the three consecutive games, he lost by failing to target Yoon Young-chul, but on the second day, Hwang Jun-seo's good pitching helped him to balance the game with one win and one loss.

The last day of the three consecutive games with the `Winning Series' at stake. Hanwha missed the victory it could have caught in front of its eyes. 'Ace' Cody Ponce took the mound, but after struggling every inning, he scored five runs in five innings and withdrew, and the game ended up in extra time as they exchanged one run in the eighth inning.




The end of the 10th inning of the final extension. Jung Woo-joo's relief appearance in a crisis with one out and second base. The first batter Han Jun-su was sent out with a hit ball, and he succeeded in inducing a double play ball against Ko Jong-wook with one out and runners on the first and second bases.

KIA won the game between Hanwha and KIA at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 8th, and Hanwha Noh Si-hwan's bad pitch with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the bottom of the 10th inning of overtime.

If third baseman Noh Si-hwan catches it and connects it to second base and first base, you can expect a double play. If that happened, Hanwha could aim for an attack in the top of the 11th inning after finishing the bottom of the 10th inning without allowing a run.

However, Noh Si-hwan's fast throw to second base headed in a ridiculous direction. Second baseman Lee Do-yoon's side is a bad pitch. KIA's second baseman Choi Won-joon penetrated home past third base when an error came out. It was such a vain 6-7 walk-off loss for Hanwha. Noh Si-hwan's walk-off error made it a record, and Hanwha took the losing series after a bloody battle even after paying Ponce.




It is all the more regrettable that Roh Si-hwan's recent slump is a fatal mistake. Even after the game, Noh Si-hwan kept looking at his hands and looked despondent. Rookie Jung Woo-joo must have felt guilty that he could not help the team because he was preventing the crisis.

The batting slump continues. Noh Si-hwan, who remained silent with no hits in four at-bats in the attack, has a batting average of 54 percent in the last 10 games. Two hits and four RBIs in 37 at-bats.

The home run race is also suspended. Since hitting his 11th home run of the season against the Lotte Giants on May 25, the shot has not exploded. Roh Si-hwan, a key hitter who led Hanwha's rise by leading the home run until April, has a monthly batting average of .26 in May with two home runs and a monthly batting average of 7.7 in June, raising concerns about the attack.




Manager Kim Kyung-moon is showing his unwavering trust in Noh Si-hwan. Recently, he briefly adjusted his batting order to No. 6, but returned to No. 4 in a day. This clearly shows how important Noh Si-hwan is to the team and how much he believes and gives opportunities.

Now it's Roh Si-hwan's turn to respond to that belief again.
