In the game between SSG and KIA held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on Sunday, KIA Park Min-ho hit a solo home run off SSG Park Ki-ho in the top of the eighth inning.
Park Min-ho pushed Park Ki-ho's three-ball, 141km fastball, and hit a 105m solo home run over the right fence. It was a valuable home run in the team's shaky 4-2 lead. However, with the bases loaded with one out in the eighth inning, Kim Kyu-sung failed to score an additional point due to a double play in front of the pitcher.
KIA eventually allowed a 5-5 tie in the ninth inning as the bullpen that it believed collapsed. Cho Sang-woo allowed one run in the eighth inning and Jung Hae-young, the closer in the ninth inning, allowed consecutive hits and was forced to give up two runs. If Choi Won-joon had not caught Eredia, who was rushing home when Park Sung-han hit, as a home bodhisattva, he would have suffered a walk-off upset loss with two outs and runners on first and second bases.
Park Min could have been the winner of the final home run, but unfortunately, the team couldn't decide to play 5-5 after extra time in the 11th inning.
