It was a big match of three consecutive games that received great attention. If Hanwha wins the three consecutive games, it will be able to face the All-Star break by establishing a solo system. However, I couldn't be relieved because my opponent was KIA. The low-powered team, which recently ranked from the bottom to the second place amid tremendous performance by the `Hampyeong Tigers" team. It was fourth ahead of the match against Hanwha, but the ranking did not mean much because it was a competition with few wins. It was only four games away from Hanwha. As a result of the three consecutive games, it was possible to enter the lead-off battle. It was a match between the two hottest teams, so fans couldn't help but draw attention.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `The opposing team is also hot, but we were able to keep our current position with the strength of the players who filled the spot with injured players. Determining the first place in the first half of the year doesn't mean much, and I'll focus on the three consecutive games against KIA right away" expressed his determination. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho also said, `Hanwha is the team with the best balance of two-hitters. I'm nervous and burdened. However, if we go with the same trend, we will also go all out. I will definitely catch a game that I can catch."
But the game ended blandly. KIA started well, but Hanwha immediately turned the game around in the bottom of the first inning, and later succeeded in six runs in the third inning and four big innings in the fifth inning, bringing about a win early.

KIA easily got the first run in the first inning with Park Chan-ho, Choi Hyung-woo and Oh Sun-woo getting consecutive hits against Hanwha starter Moon Dong-ju. Moon Dong-ju's fastball was formed more than 150km, but KIA batters were not pushed and timed.
However, Hanwha immediately turned the game around. The lead Lee Won-seok's walk to base. And the next situation was a fatal blow. KIA starter Yoon Young-chul induced a ground ball to shortstop against Liberato No. 2, but KIA shortstop Park Chan-ho missed the ball and made an error. Yun Young-chul, shaken by this, gave up an RBI double to Moon Hyun-bin and allowed Roh Si-hwan to hit an additional RBI. Since then, Chae Eun-sung has been led to a double play, putting out the urgent fire, but the number of runs has increased to three points.

Kia couldn't afford to just suffer from the powerful KIA. In the third inning, Choi had a walk, Oh Sun-woo had a double, and Kim Ho-ryeong had a two-run timely hit to tie the game. However, Kia had to face a situation where Choi, who was playing base, felt something wrong with his right hamstring and sent a substitute signature in the process. The reason why I couldn't laugh even when it was tied.
Since then, the economic trend has unilaterally flowed toward Hanwha. In the bottom of the third inning, Hanwha hit a batter and scored a large number of six points to effectively end the game. In the bases-loaded chance that started with Lee Won-seok's walk, Liberato hit, and Noh Si-hwan's walk, Captain Chae Eun-sung hit a three-run sweep of the final against pitcher Lee Hyung-beom. Hanwha then completed the six-run inning with consecutive RBI timely hits by Kim Tae-yeon, Choi Jae-hoon and Shim Woo-joon.

Hanwha's batters, who were burdened, added four more points in the fifth inning, batting again. Shim Woo-joon, Liberato, Moon Hyun-bin and Noh Si-hwan combined for an RBI hit.
Hanwha, which did its best until the end, even if the score difference was large, added a wedge point with its opponent's wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Hanwha, which used only Kim Bum-soo and Park Sang-won for the next game, put up Kim Jong-soo. Kia, which has become stronger, poured out its last strength in the eighth inning, saying it cannot end the game like this. After scoring a chase with Ko Jong-wook's sacrifice fly, he even pressured Hanwha by making Wisdom's bases-loaded shot. The difference in scores was so large that it did not change the outcome of the game itself, but Hanwha had to use Cho Dong-wook's card more. Wisdom hit his first grand slam since his KBO League debut. the 19th shot of the season.

Hanwha starter Moon Dong-ju allowed eight hits and three runs in five innings, but won his seventh win (3 losses) of the season with the help of the batters. KIA starter Yoon Young-chul lost two innings. He has won two games and lost seven games in the season.
Hanwha's concentration of the batters, who scored 16 hits and 14 points without a home run, was impressive. KIA also lost, but had 15 hits to show hope for the rest of the game. Oh Sun-woo's four hits, the most in a game since his debut, was also an income.
