'Daejeon Prince' Moon Dong-ju is unusual. He was hit hard from the first inning and allowed four runs in an instant.

The Hanwha Eagles are playing the second game of the weekend series against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 16th.

Hanwha played in the lineup of Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Liberato (middle fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third base), Chae Eun-sung (first base), Ha Joo-seok (striker), Lee Do-yoon (second base), Choi Jae-hoon (possession) and Lee Won-seok (right fielder). The starter is Moon Dong-ju.




On this day, Hanwha canceled pitcher Kim Ki-joong, who pitched hard with two runs in four innings the previous day. There was no player on the list. It was left blank for Hwang Jun-seo, who will start on the 17th. Hwang is already accompanied by the first-team squad.

NC faced off with Kim Joo-won (striker), Choi Won-joon (right wing), Park Min-woo (second base), Davison (first base), Lee Woo-sung (left wing), Park Se-hyuk (catcher), Seo Ho-cheol (third base), and Choi Jung-won (middle fielder). The starter is Shin Min-hyuk.

Unlike the previous day, Seo Ho-cheol took the third base instead of Kim Hui-jip, and instead of moving Choi Won-joon to right field, Park Gun-woo took the designated hitter and Choi Jung-won took the center field. Park Se-hyuk, who was registered on the day, participated instead of Ahn Jung-yeol. Coach Lee Ho-joon said of Park Se-hyuk's registration in the first division, `Kim Hyung-joon is not in good condition. I'll watch it this week", he explained.




However, contrary to expectations, Hanwha starter Moon Dong-joo was hit hard from the start.

NC leadoff Kim Joo-won got on base with a right-handed hit, followed by Choi Won-joon's RBI triple on the right-field line and Park Min-woo's RBI triple on the left-field line. Davison then hit Moon Dong-ju's 153km fastball and continued with an RBI double to the right-center.

Moon Dong-ju also allowed Lee Woo-sung to make a timely hit in the middle with one out and third base made by Park Gun-woo's ground ball to second base, and the score quickly became 0-4. NC continued its chances with one out and runners on first and second bases with Park Se-hyuk getting on base with a ballmet, but Moon Dong-ju managed to break the atmosphere by hitting Seo Ho-chul Choi Jung-won.

Hanwha then walked after leadoff hitter Noh Si-hwan went up to 10 pitches in the top of the second inning. Chae Eun-sung's hit then led to the first and third bases with no outs, followed by Ha Joo-seok's timely hit.

Shin Min-hyuk's wild pitch made it to second and third bases with no outs, and Lee Do-yoon's sacrifice fly succeeded in chasing Hanwha 2-4. However, at the following opportunity, Choi Jae-hoon and Lee Won-seok stepped down with a fly ball to right field and failed to tie the game.

In the bottom of the second inning, Moon Dong-ju ended the defense with a three-way exit, breaking the flow. As of the beginning of the third inning, NC is leading 4-2.
