The speed of the ball decreased at once, so the possibility of an infield hit was very high. But it's a defender's instinct to try out. Park Chan-ho threw the ball to the first base, but it became a bad pitch. Second baseman Park Joo-hong homered. Park Chan-ho-class shortstop was actually right to suppress his instinct and not spray the ball.

The crisis of second and third bases with one out followed. Choi Joo-hwan properly hit Yang Hyun-jong's ball. However, the first baseman's head-to-head hit. It was fast and strong. However, it was a ball that Oh Sun-woo could handle. But I missed this ball. The batting was strong, so the deflection was severe and it flowed to the outfield. The two runners are home. Oh Seon-woo is going back and forth between first base and outfield due to team circumstances. It is difficult to defend even if one position is settled, but he made a fatal mistake.

Still, Yang Hyun-jong blocked additional runs by catching Cardinez and Kim Gun-hee with a fly ball at a time when his mind was shaking tremendously. However, the lineup was harsh. No, the opponent's starter Alcantara may have been mean. You threw it so well. He pitched a perfect one-run pitch until the eighth inning. KIA, which has such a difficult five-way battle, was hampered by Kiwoom at the bottom.




KIA has recently faced a crisis due to the bullpen's difficulties. Finalist Jung Hae-young is in the second division. Coach Lee Bum-ho emphasized that it is important to score more points at times like this. However, baseball can win only when the defense is stable before the bat.
