The last star, the captain with a heavy shoulder. It was only natural that he sobbed like a storm the moment he escaped 10 consecutive losses.

He overcame his disappointment and took care of himself. Kiwoom Heroes won the Lotte Giants 9 to 6 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 4th.

Song Sung-moon's fire bat, which drove six RBIs from 0-2 to 3-3 to the final three runs, was crucial. Lotte's strong pursuit was shaken off by Lee Hyung-jong and Park Su-jong's net shot.




Song Sung-moon, whom I met after the game, said, `Even if I win these days, I play too bloody games. I think I used up my concentration," he said with a big smile.

This season, Song Sung-moon prepared for this season as a clean-up trio and the main second baseman, but due to team circumstances, he moved to leadoff and third baseman. On top of that, the team set a unique season plan of two foreign hitters, but after both Puig and Cardinez were sluggish, Puig was kicked out and Cardinez was injured, so now there is no one in the lineup.

The team's performance is also overwhelmingly in last place. It will be heartbreaking and complicated in many ways for Song Sung-moon.

Song Seong-moon said "Different positions different batting order may have an impact, but it cannot be a ping system (underperforming). I'm always trying to contribute to the team in my place." It is true that the weight of the batters fell as foreign players fell out, but the performance was not good in reality, and the entire team should do the hitting rather than relying on one person. It is also an opportunity for domestic players and a driving force for the team to become stronger. Foreign players don't play for our team forever."

Then "The runner was in the scoring position, and he needed a run-away score to follow." Our bottom batting order tried to get on base somehow today. So I focused more on the idea of scoring points."

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, `Kim Yoon-ha blocked four innings well, and Kim Sun-ki and Lee Kang-joon, who followed, also pitched well to break the opponent's flow. Joo Seung-woo and Won Jong-hyun also came up in a crisis and calmly defended well"I looked back.




Song Sung-moon then played a decisive role with a three-run timely hit and a three-run home run, and Lee Hyung-jong and Park Soo-jong's home runs sealed the game. We sincerely thank the fans who came all the way to Busan and gave us great support. "

It was a hit that pushed both Song Sung-moon's three-run timely hit and the winning shot. It was an exquisite batting that was said to have reached the level of hitting master during the monster season last year.

Song Sung-moon explained "I thought I should not be late for the timing of the direct ball, but hitting it on time led to a good result as the outside ball came."

"Since when did I hit a .340 batting average?" I'm not a player who has been consistent and good at baseball like Lee Jung-hoo and Kim Hye-sung, but I just play baseball, which I like, healthy and enjoyable. There are times when I'm stressed, but I always run with gratitude."

Kim Yoon-ha, the starting pitcher of the day, is the overwhelmingly top loser with nine losses this season. Fortunately, he avoided defeat on this day. Song Sung-moon is turning the rotation and eating innings despite the difficult situation. Now I'm 20 years old, and I hope I don't just feel too heavy a burden.'

Shortly after the end of the Doosan Bears match on May 31, it became a hot topic to shed tears on the joy of escaping 10 consecutive losses.

"It was a time when I felt like I had forgotten the feeling of winning. I got a lot of calls. Now I want to get a congratulatory call, not sympathy. I'm laughing today. I feel good."
