LG Twins' Son Joo-young pitched until the end even in a dizzying situation where he was hit in the shin by a hit, but he was on the verge of losing.
Son Joo-young started the home game against SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium on the 10th, but worked hard by throwing 101 pitches in four ⅔ innings, but allowed 10 hits, three walks, two strikeouts, and five runs (four earned runs). In the top of the fifth inning, when the team was trailing 2-5, it was replaced by Lee Ji-gang with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, and was on the verge of defeat.
He was unfortunately hit by a pitch during defense in the top of the first inning.
Son Joo-young, who started from the crisis of second base with no outs by allowing the lead Jihoon Choi to steal second base following a heavy hit, struck out No. 2 Kim Sung-wook and caught No. 3 Choi Jung with a fly to left field, and No. 4 Ko Myung-joon also ended the third baseman Kim Joo-sung's third-base hit well.
However, Kim Joo-sung made a bad pitch to the first base, so Jihoon Choi homered and allowed one run on his own, and he continued to pitch with two outs and a runner on first base. The first pitch thrown to the next batter, Herredia, hit her left leg shin. The ball deflected off the shin became a hit to right field, making it two outs and runners on first and third bases.
Son Joo-young, who was limping, sat behind the mound and checked with pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam and trainer where he was kicked. Immediately, Lee Ji-gang warmed up from the bullpen, and then Son Joo-young stood up and walked toward the dugout, and the pitcher seemed to be replaced. However, there was no replacement sign.

Son Joo-young, who faced Park Sung-han sixth in the crisis of first and third bases, caught him with a fly to right field and finished the first inning.
But was there an aftermath after being hit by the ball.
It shook sharply in the top of the second inning. After one out, he was hit to the left by No. 8 Seok Jung-woo, and No. 9 Kim Chan-hyung hit to the right, and was on the verge of first and third bases, and lost one point by hitting a heavy hit by his Jihoon Choi. Immediately, Kim Sung-wook hit a double on the left field line and gave up another run. The crisis of loading the bases with one out continued with a ball hit by Choi Jung.
Third baseman Kim Joo-sung seemed to catch Ko Myung-joon's third base hit, but he hit the glove and bounced upward. Kim Joo-sung, who caught it again, threw it home and caught the third baseman to prevent the loss. With two outs and a full base, Son Joo-young gave up a walk after a close game with Herredia going to the full count, making it 0-4.
He blocked the top of the third and fourth innings without allowing a run, and LG scored two runs in the bottom of the third inning to chase 2-4, but Son Joo-young failed to pass the fifth inning. Son Joo-young, who faced a crisis of 1st and 2nd bases with no outs after giving up a walk to the left-handed hit to the front-runner Herredia, was caught by catcher Park Dong-won when Cho Hyung-woo's bunt came up, and when Seok Jung-woo grounded out in front of the first base, he caught the first runner from the second base and made it to the first and third bases with two outs, but allowed one run again after being hit by the left-handed hit by No. 9 Kim Chan-hyung. The number of pitches reached 101 before long, and the replacement was eventually decided. Lee Ji-gang caught Jihoon Choi's ball himself and threw it out to first base to prevent additional runs.
Kim Joo-sung, who came to the first division on the day, made an error and got twisted. Son Joo-young threw 101 balls even after being hit, so it may not be a major injury. It should not affect the next game.
