A very rare, absurd checker broke the flow. The manager was even sent off in protest.

KIA Tigers and Kiwoom Heroes played at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 26th. An unexpected outing came in Kiwoom's attack in the bottom of the eighth inning when the two teams were in a tight 4-4 tie.

Kiwoom got on base when the leadoff hitter Lee Ju-hyung hit a bunt in front of the second baseman against KIA's must-win group Cho Sang-woo. No-out leadoff hitter on base was a big chance for Kiwoom in a tie.




The next batter is veteran Choi Joo-hwan. But before Cho Sang-woo threw the first pitch to Choi Joo-hwan, he first threw a check ball toward the first base. Lee Ju-hyung, who was preparing for base running, slid and returned to first base.

At first glance, it was an oystole with no problem with timing. The first base umpire also raised both arms and called 'Safe' at first.

However, KIA first baseman Oh Sun-woo looked at the third base bench and asked for a video reading. He looked certain. The bench accepted it, and the referee went into the video reading.

As a result of checking with a slow picture, the problem was the baserunning glove Lee Joo-hyung was holding without getting caught in his hand. Lee Joo-hyung's timing of the ova was perfect, but when he touched the base while making the ova, he was holding the gloves, not his bare hands, and the gloves actually touched the base first.

Oh Seon-woo's sense of seeing through this shone. Oh Sun-woo kept watching Lee Joo-hyung until the end and did not take off the glove tag. Lee Ju-hyung also raised himself with his finger touching the base to the end to show no gap, but the reading reversed Safe to Out.

Immediately, head coach Hong Won-ki ran off the bench and protested strongly to the judges, but the result did not change. In the video released by the video reading room, the gloves touched the base first, and first baseman Oh Sun-woo, who caught the check ball, accurately tagged the glove to Lee Joo-hyung. It was out.




However, head coach Hong Won-ki left the dugout during the game as he was sent off in accordance with league regulations due to 'Protest against the results of the video review'.

With Lee Joo-hyung out, Kiwoom has no first base chance with no outs

Nevertheless, it didn't lead to a goal in the end.

In many ways, it is a painful situation for Kiwoom. As soon as Lee Ju-hyung arrived at the first base, it remains regrettable what it would have been like to wear gloves first and enter the play ball. Without being fully prepared, a small mistake came back as a result of an absurd check-out.
