"I hope Doo-sung is not a big deal."

Lotte Giants Son Ho-young couldn't laugh even though he had five hits. It was because of the injury of fellow Jang Doo-sung.

Son Ho-in started the game against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 12th and played 5 hits, 2 RBIs, 3 runs and 1 stolen base in 6 at-bats. Amid Son Ho-young's performance, Lotte, which was pushed 0-6 until the second inning, turned the game around 7-6, and Kim Won-joong's Blon save in the ninth inning extended the game, but won 12-7 with five runs in the 10th inning.




However, Lotte was urgently transferred to Jang Doo-sung, who got on base at the top of the 10th inning, when Park Young-hyun was in check, and was hit in the right side by the check ball. After being hit by the ball, he ran to second base after the ball fell out, but an emergency situation was created, with blood suddenly coming out of the mouth of Jang Doo-sung, who held onto his side. An ambulance came in immediately, and Jang Doo-sung was taken to the hospital. Lotte won the winning series of three consecutive games by winning a close game after extra time, but it couldn't be liked.

Son Ho-young also had a five-hit game to announce the escape of his slump this season. He made his second five hits of the season following the game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 24th of last month. Five hits in a game, it's never an easy record.

But he was not happy. Son Ho-young, who met after the game, immediately said "Victory is important, but I hope Doo-sung is no big deal." There are a lot of injuries on the team right now. I think Doo-sung was hit by a ball in a very painful area. I'm worried a lot. What I did well was lost in my head right away. All I could think of was head voice."




Batters are often hit by balls over 150 kilometers. However, he was hit with a relatively slow check ball, so can it lead to a major injury. Son Ho-young responds by flinching to some extent at bats. However, the check ball is hit without any action. I think that's why the problem got bigger,' he explained from the player's point of view.

Son Ho-young said of his performance on the day, `I missed my first at-bat today, but I think it worked out well because I had a hit. The right timing is getting better these days, and I can see the ball well. The timing got better. The batting coaches are more concerned than I am. Thank you very much."

Son Ho-young, who emerged as Lotte's Cinderella after trading last year. However, this year, it is not as clear as last year, perhaps because of too high expectations. Son Ho-young was in a hurry. I think I'm still in a hurry. Professional must produce results unconditionally. I had five hits today, but I have to do well again tomorrow. I think baseball is really hard."




Son Ho-young said lastly, `There seems to be no main battle. I can't say I'm the main player. If you can't do it, it's over. The starting lineup can be changed at any time. I want to play as a main player for another day, so I'm working hard" expressed a grave feeling.
