Hanwha Eagles showed their concentration in the second half and won two consecutive games.

Hanwha won the away game against the Kiwoom Heroes 6-4 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 5th. With two consecutive wins, Hanwha secured the winning series of three consecutive weekend games early. The season record is 48 wins, two draws and 33 losses. Kiwoom at the bottom has lost four games in a row. The season record was 26 wins, 3 draws and 58 losses.

On this day, Hanwha made the starting lineup in the order of Lee Won-seok (left fielder), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (designated hitter), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Lee Jin-young (right fielder), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker).




A thrilling shot exploded late in the second half of the year. Hanwha, which won 2-1 with Noh Si-hwan's solo home run in the top of the ninth inning against 1-1 the previous day (4th), was dragged 2-3 until the seventh inning. However, with Moon Hyun-bin's hit after one out in the top of the eighth inning, Chae Eun-sung hit Kiwoom closer Joo Seung-woo and hit a home run. Joo Seung-woo's fork ball hit the center perfectly without missing it.

Kiwoom became 4-4 again with Eo Jun-seo's solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, but he took the lead again in the top of the ninth inning. Leading hitter Shim Woo-joon drew a walk, and after Lee Won-seok's sacrifice bunt, Liberato and Moon Hyun-bin's consecutive timely hits widened the score to 6-4.

While closer Kim Seo-hyun took a break, Han Seung-hyuk kept the victory by blocking a scoreless run in the bottom of the ninth inning.




After the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `It didn't lead to a victory, but Ryu Hyun-jin played a good role as a starting pitcher"The atmosphere changed when captain Chae Eun-sung's home run came out as soon as necessary, and Liberato and Moon Hyun-bin's timely hits enabled him to win the game."

Coach Kim continued, `I want to praise all of our players who did their best by focusing until the end" he said.

Hanwha and Kiwoom will play the last of the three consecutive games on the 6th. Hanwha foreshadowed Ryan Weiss as its starting pitcher. Park Joo-sung will start Kiwoom.
