Miracle happened. My legs couldn't move, but my wish to end it at 50%

The NC Dinos finished the first half with a 50% win rate. The pace wasn't good until the winning streak. In early July, six games from Daejeon Hanwha Eagles to Changwon SSG Landers did not produce satisfactory results.
NC, which faced Hanwha, the No. 1 team, from the 1st to the 3rd, played three consecutive games that exhausted everything. The final result is one win, one draw and one loss. It was a close game that was not far behind Hanwha, but the aftereffects were so great. At this time, Daejeon was particularly hot and humid. The temperature itself was high and the rain sprayed little by little made the ground more humid. Coach Lee Ho-joon and NC players also said, `The three consecutive games in Daejeon were really hot. The weather is so hot and difficult that I feel rather cool when I come to Changwon."
It was a three-game series that was particularly difficult due to the heat, but the contents of the game were fierce all along. In particular, on the last day of the three consecutive games, the two teams ended up in a 7-7 draw after a fierce battle to the 11th inning of extra time. When I arrived at Changwon home after the away game in Daejeon, it was dawn, later than the away team, SSG.

In fact, with six games left in the first half, coach Lee Ho-joon's goal was to recover a 50% winning rate. Manager Lee said, `I want to finish the first half with a 50% win rate in the remaining games, but it's not easy. The result was disappointing in the game (3 wins and 6 losses), where we were weak against SSG this year and ahead of Samsung, the last three consecutive games. Riley can only take the mound once due to one backlog in the rotation, but for now, Logan Allen will take the mound twice, so I'm looking forward to it a little more" he said.

On the first day of the three consecutive games, the two teams, which were playing a "high-stakes battle", won 10-9 by overcoming the last crisis, although NC was chased by one point with two additional runs in the top of the ninth inning. The next day, Shin Min-hyuk won 3-0 with six scoreless innings, and he also succeeded in a thrilling come-from-behind victory on the last day. NC, which had been losing 2-4 until the middle of the game, scored five runs in three consecutive innings in the sixth and eighth innings, winning the final score 7-5. It was a series sweep that gave Samsung a fatal blow.

However, he achieved that goal with four consecutive wins at the end of the first half. Now, when the second half begins, Koo Chang-mo will join the rotation in the near future, so he will have a powerful fourth starter leading to Logan, Riley, Shin Min-hyuk and Koo Chang-mo. As the starting lineup becomes stronger, the team's performance can naturally look up.
First of all, NC is preparing to fight back in the second half by achieving its first goal.
