KT Wiz smiled broadly at '8th episode of Promise'.

KT won the away game against the Hanwha Eagles 5-2 at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 5th. KT escaped from five consecutive losses, bringing its season record to 51 wins, 4 draws and 50 losses. Hanwha has lost two games in a row. The record for the season was 59 wins, 3 draws and 39 losses.

On this day, KT formed the starting lineup in the order of Junghoon Lee (left fielder), Huh Kyung-min (third baseman), Ahn Hyun-min (right fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Jang Sung-woo (catcher), Oh Yoon-seok (second baseman), Hwang Jae-gyun (first baseman), Jang Jin-hyuk (center fielder), and Kwon Dong-jin (striker).

KT manager Lee Kang-chul said "Kang Baek-ho showed his batting feeling on the last day of the NC match." In addition, Heo Kyung-min seemed to feel burdened when there was a runner, so he placed it in the front. Ahn Hyun-min is doing well, so he put him in the third hitter as he is."

For Hanwha, Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker) started.

By the middle of the year, the flow was in Hanwha. Hanwha starting pitcher Moon Dong-ju threw a fastball of up to 161km and blocked seven scoreless innings.

After Moon Dong-ju went down, KT's batting line broke out. After one out, Hwang Jae-kyun's solo home run, Jang Jin-hyuk's walk and Kang Hyun-woo's hit made it 1st and 3rd bases with 1 out. Hanwha gave up closer Kim Seo-hyun, but the bases loaded as the Junghoon Lee went out with a hit ball.
