Daegu Sangwon High School won 4-3 after an extended blood fight in the quarterfinals against Incheon High School in the 80th Cheongryonggi National High School Championship and the weekend league King Wangjung match (co-hosted by the Chosun Ilbo, Sports Chosun, and the Korea Baseball Softball Association) at Mokdong Stadium on the 8th. With Kim Se-eun unable to take the mound due to the limit on the number of pitches, the opponent put forward all the "one-two punch" leading to Lee Tae-yang, Lee Junsung Park, and Lee Seo-joon, who are likely to be the top professional nomination, but the team that laughed at the end was Daegu Sangwon.
Daegu Sangwon High School, which led second pitcher Yoo Hyun-soo's eight ⅓ innings in a neck-and-neck race of 1-1, advanced to the semifinals with Kim Min-jae's timely RBI in the bottom of the 10th inning, followed by Kim Myung-kyu's timely RBI.
After the game, Daegu Sangwon Manager Kim Seung-kwan said "Today's weather was very hot, but the players held up well mentally. I think he was desperate because he wanted to win everything"The opposing pitcher is good, but our secret weapon Yoo Hyun-soo came up and pitched better than expected."," he said in compliments.
On this day, Mokdong Stadium was a heatwave with a geothermal temperature of more than 35 degrees Celsius. Despite the heat, Daegu Sangwon players' concentration was not disturbed.
In fact, Daegu Sangwon High School is not as strong as some teams that are evaluated as strong teams, including Incheon High School. However, it boasts solid teamwork in the short term.
Director Kim Seung-kwan said, `My kids are having a hard time. There are actually few players with exceptional skills, but they are working hard with pride while learning from their seniors. That's why I think I have good concentration and good results."
Daegu Sangwon said, "The remaining goal is to win the blue dragon flag. Coach Kim Seung-kwan said, `We've come this far, so shouldn't we win. We stayed in second place last year, and in the semi-finals, Kim Se-eun can take the mound, so the opponent is a strong team, but I think it's worth trying no matter which team comes up"I'm determined.
