"I think the turning point is the confrontation between (Kim) Kwang-hyun and (Ryu) Hyun-jin."

SSG Landers is on the rise with five wins and one draw after catching Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha). SSG coach Lee Sung-yong looked back on the game as an opportunity for a turnaround.

SSG got off to a bad start in the second half. It started with four consecutive losses, being held back by Doosan Samsung. He managed to lose consecutive games, but he met Hanwha on July 25 and lost again. One win and five losses.




A matchup of fate was made here. South Korea's representative left-handers Kim Kwang-hyun and Ryu Hyun-jin clashed in Daejeon on the 26th.

Kim Kwang-hyun became a winning pitcher with two runs in six innings. Ryu gave up five runs in one inning. SSG won 9 to 3. SSG has had five wins and one draw since that day. He returned to fourth place before he knew it.

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `That was the crisis. The players did well and turned the crisis into an opportunity"Thank you.




Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `When Kwang-hyun took the mound that day, all the members did their best to allow Kwang-hyun to throw and win. Winning there, he also brought three consecutive games against Hanwha to the Winning Series. The fact that he won against the No. 1 team also instilled confidence in the players" he diagnosed.

Then "And Kiwoom also won the game well with difficulty. Yesterday, the players did their best to overcome it again. The atmosphere is getting better little by little. It is important from now on."

SSG is in fourth place with 49 wins, 46 losses and four draws. However, it is far from 3rd place Lotte in four games. Instead, it is one game away from fifth-ranked KIA and only 2.5 games away from eighth-ranked Samsung. If you slip again, it slips away.




Director Lee Soo-yong said, `August is the match. Still, I got the first step yesterday. With the home run, the winning team also rested. We will do what we can today and bring back the victory"I vowed victory.
