Seoul High School with a new victory.

Seoul High School dramatically boarded a train bound for the Blue Dragon Flag Round of 16. He beat Seongnam High School, which was also considered the favorite to win. Kim Ji-woo, a second-year slugger who received attention from U.S. Major League scouts, won a new victory by one point.

Seoul High School won an 8-5 victory over Seongnam 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 Korea Baseball Softball Association) at Mokdong Stadium on the 3rd. With this victory, Seoul High School advanced to the round of 16, and Seongnam High School unfortunately packed their bags.




Seoul High School is the winner of Shinsegae E-Mart Cup, and Seongnam High School is the winner of the Golden Lion. The two teams, who were nominated by many coaches before the competition, met too early. One of the two teams is destined to be separated. Seoul High School laughed dramatically.

It was Seoul High School that got twisted early in the game. Kang Min-seok was chosen as the starter to save and use Park Ji-sung and Lee Ho-beom, who are one-two punches. The pitcher had an ERA of 0 points in six games this season due to his good pitching and control of breaking balls, although his speed is very slow at around 130 kilometers.

However, this strategy has become a source of concern. Kang Min-seok caught well with two outs in the first inning, gave up consecutive walks to Lee Jin-hyuk and Lee Seo-joon, and was hit by a sweeping triple by Baek Ji-jin. He threw a wild pitch and even threw a pitch, allowing four runs in an instant. Seoul High School coach Kim Dong-soo hurriedly raised Park Ji-sung from the first inning and blocked the inning without additional runs.




However, Seongnam High School, which gained the upper hand, did not stop rising. Ahn Jin-pyo's timely hit in the third inning widened the gap to five points.

But it wasn't just Seoul High School to get beaten up. In the third inning, Seoul High School hit a three-base hit with a one-out, second-base chanceer made by Kim Tae-sung's walk and a sacrifice bunt, and No. 1 Lee Si-won hit an RBI chase triple. Lee Jung-in, who appeared next, added a sacrifice fly RBI.

The atmosphere of the game was heated at the end of the fourth inning. Kim Ji-woo, the fourth batter of Seoul High School, hit a solo home run against Seongnam High School starter Cho Yoon-ho, who was playing well. Despite being a freshman last year, Kim Ji-woo, who is considered a top prospect this year with overwhelming performance in both pitching and batting, ignited the chase atmosphere with a huge home run. Despite the hot weather, many Major League scouts visited Mokdong Stadium to watch Kim Ji-woo's play. It was a hot showcase.

Seoul High School chased me little by little. In the sixth inning, Kim Sun-bin's RBI triple succeeded in chasing under the chin by one point. Then he turned the game upside down in the seventh inning. After the lead Kim Tae-sung hit a triple against pitcher Oh Hoon-taek, who changed to Seongnam High School, the vice president's timely hit broke out and tied the score 5-5. Then, with one out and a full base chance, No. 4 Kim Ji-woo appeared again. Kim Ji-woo's hit was missed, but his strength was so good that he flew to the center field. The third baseman ran to the home with all his might. Seongnam High School center fielder Kim Min-seok's throw was also accurate. Cross timing. The referee declared safe. Seongnam High School bench tried to apply for a video review, but it's already used up. That's how Seoul High School's winning point was made.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Seoul High School made a series of timely hits by Kim Tae-sung and Lee Si-won in the attack, further widening the gap.

Seoul High School came out in the first inning and succeeded in turning over the difficult game, with Lee Ho-beom keeping the remaining four innings scoreless, following Park Ji-sung, who stopped five innings with one column.
