Ahn Hyun-min's 2 consecutive shots, Patrick's good pitching results are sweet wins.

KT Wiz won two consecutive away games in Changwon. The bat burst cool for two consecutive days and won a pleasant victory.

KT won 9-2 in the second of three consecutive games during the week against NC at Changwon NC Park on the 23rd. KT, which visited Changwon in a bad atmosphere by losing all three consecutive games against the Hanwha Eagles over the weekend, won two consecutive games and laid the foundation for a rebound. On the contrary, NC, which is busy on its way, has lost three consecutive games.

The key to the game was KT starter Patrick. KT was scheduled to take the mound on the same day. However, Oh Won-seok twisted his back during individual workouts and was unable to take the mound. Patrick joined in time for the second half as a substitute for Cuevas, who was originally scheduled to increase the number of pitches by throwing in three to four games as a bullpen. However, after one bullpen game, Oh Won-seok was forced to start urgently. The maximum number of pitches is 50. If Patrick led the early game in his first KBO league debut game, KT could have had an advantage, and if NC increased the number of pitches and replaced him early, NC could have an advantage.

Patrick's card is a huge success. He pitched 49 pitches in four innings, allowing one hit, two walks, two strikeouts, and one run. The maximum speed of his fastball was 153 kilometers. He threw a combination of sliders, curves, and changeups along with his fastball and two-seam pitching. It was a scouting report that the ball power was very powerful, and he threw a strong and fast ball like the evaluation. It made me look forward to the future.

Batters also supported Patrick. He lightened Patrick's shoulders by scoring two runs from the first inning. In the first inning, lead Kim Min-hyuk got off to a good start by picking up a right-handed hit from NC starter Logan. Huh Kyung-min and Ahn Hyun-min struck out consecutively, but the fourth Junghoon Lee's infield hit saved the spark. And KT made the first run with Kang Baek-ho's right-handed hit. NC showed disappointment in defense. KT's double steal operation with the first and third bases made a mistake, and first baseman Kang Baek-ho was threatened, but first baseman Seo Ho-chul's throwing error gave him an additional point in vain.

NC also followed Kim Hwi-jip's RBI infield ball in the second inning. However, KT effectively ended the game in the top of the third inning. He scored five points while batting first. Logan's control shook and allowed walks and pitches to Kim Min-hyuk and Heo Kyung-min. Ahn Hyun-min struck out two consecutive at-bats, which are rarely seen, but Junghoon Lee and Kang Baek-ho again drew consecutive walks. a push-back score. Logan, who was completely shaken, completely collapsed with a two-run hit by Oh Yoon-seok and a two-run double by Cho Dae-hyun.

KT's Ahn Hyun-min, who had been humiliated by strikeouts for two consecutive at-bats, made a sacrifice fly RBI in the fourth inning to seal the mid-game. And Ahn Hyun-min took the lead in the seventh inning and hit a large home run to celebrate his victory from opposing pitcher Cho Min-seok. The distance is 125 meters. It was his 18th homer in this season and his second consecutive game following the previous day.

NC had Kim Joo-won's one-run timely hit in the fifth inning, but Seung-gi had already turned to KT. The two teams were preparing for the final match on the 24th by replacing players from the middle of the hot weather.
