June is coming to an end and he is still No. 1. However, Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon still seemed to have a shocking upset loss the previous day.

Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon, who met at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 28th, laughed, saying, `There is no difference right now, but No. 1 is a bit awkward.'

Hanwha lost its 5-0 lead the previous day in vain. In particular, he was leading 6-3 until the fourth inning, but he was overturned by giving up one point in the fifth inning, six points in the sixth inning, and three points in the seventh inning. It collapsed even after mobilizing all the must-win groups such as main phenomenon Park Sang-won and Han Seung-hyuk.




Before the season, Hanwha was sometimes selected as a candidate for the semifinals. However, this was largely due to the effect of recruiting Eom Sang-baek and Shim Woo-joon as FA.

There was no expectation that he would even race to the top of the regular season. The performance, which remains tied for first until the end of June, is just amazing.

Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `It was a very difficult start to the season, but our players did a great job overcoming that situation," he smiled.




"Honestly, our ranking is higher than I think right now. Perhaps the players feel a lot of pressure, too. It seems that a fight against such pressure will be needed in the future. We have to focus on the next game, one game."

He is doing well enough. Isn't a must-win group a human being. In the meantime, I've thrown well and won, but there are days when any pitcher shakes. Geoje was such a day for our winning team"The batters did a good job after a long time. There were a lot of welcome hits, home runs, and scored a lot in the beginning"I looked back.
