Hanwha set the record by winning the Doosan Bears 2-1 in Jamsil on the 22nd. It is the second 10 consecutive wins this season. '10 consecutive wins in a single season2 came out for the first time in 40 years since Samsung in 1985. It is only twice in the history of the KBO League.
Coach Kim Kyung-moon said before the game on the 23rd that the record itself is not important.
Head coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `It's meaningful if we win in a row and our ranking is decided. The game is going on now. I just think it's a record that hasn't been out for that long. I just think about it.
Hanwha is the sole leader with 56 wins, two draws and 33 losses. It is 5.5 games behind the second-place LG Twins. There are 53 games left. It's a generous difference, but it doesn't mean there's enough room to let your guard down. That's why head coach Kim Kyung-moon can't relax.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `We only play one game. We have to forget the winning streak again."
The previous day was not an easy game. Noh Si-hwan and Shim Woo-joon managed to win thanks to two solo home runs. Noh Si-hwan has a low batting average of 0.238 for the season, but he is playing a good role as a troubleshooter at important moments. Shim Woo-joon is a batter with 33 home runs in his 10 seasons, and he hit a home run that made the decisive hit in the game.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `These days, players who have been bad are good at the elements. In particular, (Roh) Si-hwan is getting a home run from the game. He also relieved his burden, which was a little heavy. With good RBIs and home runs, we won, so it's very effective. The same goes for other players."

Manager Kim Kyung-moon was also surprised. Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `In that situation, I don't expect a home run from (Shim) Woo-jun.' `Our players solved the game well in such a moment. That's why I'm glad I came all the way here" he complimented.
As wins accumulated, the players' confidence also strengthened. Head coach Kim Kyung-moon said "I used to follow Gyeonggi-do Province, which was quickly taken out to give the starter a break and turn the tables. Certainly, I can see that the players have become more sticky than last year. I will do my best in the remaining 53 games, one game, and one game."
