First relief win of the season! Hanwha Eagles Cho Dong-wook became a winning pitcher with no hits and no runs in his fourth relief appearance of the season.
The second game of the three consecutive games during the week between the Hanwha Eagles and the KIA Tigers was held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 9th. Hanwha won 7-4 against KIA. Hanwha has won five consecutive games recently. KIA lost two consecutive games to Hanwha, and its good momentum has recently been dampened.
KIA scored the first run in the second inning with Kim Kyu-sung's pushy walk. Choi Won-joon's sacrifice fly added an RBI. In the fourth inning, Kim Kyu-sung hit an RBI double that replaced Hanwha starter Um Sang-baek with one out and second base. KIA's 3-0 lead.
Hanwha had a chance in the bottom of the fourth inning. Lee Jin-young's two-run timely hit with the bases loaded with one out against KIA starter Yang Hyun-bin, Roh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-sung, who had been pitching well until one out in the fourth inning. With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, Choi Jae-hoon turned the game around by hitting a come-from-behind three-run home run against Yang Hyun-jong.
In the fifth inning, Hanwha Chae Eun-sung made a two-run timely hit against KIA Sung Young-tak with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, widening the gap to 7-3. KIA hit a solo home run chased by Wisdom in the eighth inning, but Hanwha's Han Seung-hyuk in the eighth inning and Kim Seo-hyun in the ninth inning to prevent further runs.
Hanwha won 7-4 against KIA and booked the winning series of three consecutive games.

Hanwha's starter Um Sang-baek was pulled out in the fourth inning without completing the fourth inning. In the fourth inning, with one out and runners on second, he handed over the mound to Cho Dong-wook. Cho Dong-wook handled Choi Won-joon with a fly to right field and Ko Jong-wook with a third baseman infield grounder to prevent an additional run crisis.
In the fifth inning, right fielder Lee Won-seok's defense was helped. Hanwha right fielder Lee Won-seok caught KIA leadoff hitter Park Chan-ho's hit that flew near the right-field foul line. It was not easy to defend because the fence was close, but Lee Won-seok caught the ball with a good defense. After that, Oh Sun-woo grounded out to shortstop and Wisdom grounded out to shortstop.
Cho Dong-wook, who also took the mound in the sixth inning, handled it with a fly to center field Kim Seok-hwan and Han Jun-su's three strikeouts and handed over the mound to Joo Hyun-sang during Kim Ho-ryeong's at-bat.
Cho Dong-wook pitched two ⅓ innings and became the winning pitcher without losing a point. When Cho Dong-wook showed stability on the mound, Hanwha turned the game around in the fourth and fifth innings. Cho threw a total of 24 pitches while facing seven KIA batters. It worked that he quickly played aggressively against KIA hitters within three pitches.
