Coach Kim Kyung-moon said of second baseman An Chi-hong's home tagout in the 12th inning ahead of the LG match at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 15th, "'Even if I do it 100 times, I will tell him to spin 100 times.'" It is not the base coach's fault. If your opponent throws a strike, you're out, and if you're upset on the side, you're safe. It's not a matter of the next batter. It was a good match, and I'll turn it again even if that situation comes a hundred times."
the bottom of the 11th inning with a 2-2 score. After two outs, An Chi-hong saved the spark that seemed to be extinguishing with a double.
Veteran Lee Jae-won at bat. After the first strike, the LG bench replaced the left field. Both teams have already exhausted their fielder entries in the regular innings amid all-out war. There was only one card left. It was Song Chan-ui, who came out as a pinch hitter and was in the designated hitter position. Instead of Choi Won-young, he was put in left field to prepare for a finishing hit.

Lee Jae-won pulled the fourth high curve in 2B1S and dropped it in front of left field. Second baseman An Chi-hong rushed home with all his might following the third base coach's signature. However, Song Chan's throw home defense was accurately and quickly delivered to catcher Park Dong-won.
An Chi-hong stands without even sliding and tags out. As it was, the game was over. It was the moment when the all-out match between the first and second places, which lasted until the end of the 11th inning, ended with a 2-2 draw.
Criticism poured out to third base coach Kim Jae-gul, who ordered An Chi-hong to rush home.
However, it is standard to rush home when a hit hits with two outs and a runner on second base. Song Chan's throw, which was put in as LG's ubiquitous, was only accurate.
It is to praise LG Bench and Song Chan-eui, not to blame coach Kim Jae-gul and Ahn Chi-hong for playing. It was just the result of the best play.
