"The ending was done with the mindset of the last, but since he was sent off with a head shot at the first pitch..."

I had a nightmarish day. Still, he cut off the shock in one day.

NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon looked back on his past nightmare. Coach Lee Ho-joon, who met at Changwon NC Park on the 24th, said "As the defense time got longer, the players on the ground showed their faces." I was so sorry." It was a painful recollection of the game against Suwon KT Wiz on the 21st, a shocking day of upset loss.

"As it was, it was a game where you could finish it neatly with Bae Jae-hwan and Ryu Jin-wook." It's Saturday-Sunday anyway, so there are days off even if you fight consecutively. But I wondered if there was a reason why I couldn't beat the entire civilian by five points. He also played in the must-win group, so should we have decided to hold this game firmly and go in?"

At that time, NC was leading 5-0 with starter Mok Ji-hoon's six scoreless innings.

However, Jeon Sa-min, who took the mound in the eighth inning, walked KT Kim Sang-soo and Ahn Hyun-min and hit Junghoon Lee to right-center, causing a full base crisis with no outs.

Jang Sung-woo's RBI timely hit, a ball that fits Heo Kyung-min's body, Bae Jeong-dae's push walk, Moon Sang-chul's push body (Ryu Jin-wook headshot exit), and Kim Min-hyuk's push body were followed. Kim Sang-soo's two-run timely hit hit came back to the plate, and the game was overturned by scoring seven points in one inning at once. NC didn't have the power to catch up.

Coach Lee Ho-joon said, `I thought hard about whether it was my fault or what other people would think. 'What should I do nextI couldn't think of '. Ryu Jinwook was sent off. Who should I put this up? I want to..." he sighed. In the process, the choice of veteran Lim Jung-ho instead of Lee Joon-hyuk, who was fully warmed up, was also a failure.

"Bae Jae-hwan, Lim Jung-ho, and Ryu Jin-wook, the former civilian, stood in a line with their hands together on the side of the dugout. I felt so bad. I told him to go into the locker room and icing. But I heard later that he was only watching TV when he went in. It's desirable to feel sorry like that, but maybe it was hard for the players to be confident as well."

Still, he neatly finished the 2-0 victory in the match on the 22nd, when Logan and Cuevas faced off as the ace. Coach Lee Ho-joon said, "'You've been good to the must-win teams so far. He told me that we all won together and we all lost together. I told him to do it without paying attention, but the next day, he blocked a two-point gap and won. This is baseball," he sighed.

"I also think we need to be persistent in pushing the players to take responsibility.It was a very learned day.'

On this day, NC eliminated Han Jae-seung and Ko Seung-wan the previous day and raised outfielder Song Seung-hwan. He also registered pitcher Kim Jin-ho on the same day.

Coach Lee Ho-joon said, "(Kim) Young-gyu is not able to fight consecutively, so Kim Jin-ho is coming up today, so I think I will be able to breathe. Son Joo Hwan is doing well, too," he stressed.
