Huh Kyung-min (35, KT Wiz) hit a walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning against SSG Landers at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 19th.
It was an important match for KT. Before the game, KT was tied for fifth, 1.5 games behind fourth-place SSG. It was an opportunity to reverse the ranking depending on the results of the three consecutive games. He needed a head start among the three consecutive games.
KT gave four runs to Oh Won-seok, who kept the mound scoreless until the sixth inning.
He allowed a run in the top of the seventh inning and was in crisis in the top of the eighth inning. Choi Jeong's hit headed toward third base while leadoff hitter Guillermo Herredia stepped down with a fly ball to right field. Heo Kyung-min followed him with small feet and lowered himself at the last minute to catch him with a backhand, but the ball bounced off. Later, Han Yu-sum's hit struck out one out and runners on first and second bases. Kim Sung-wook struck out, but Oh Tae-gon hit a home run over the left fence. The game is 4-4 at square one.
Later, as Ryu Hyo-seung hit a hit, KT put in closer Park Young-hyun early. With Park Young-hyun throwing three balls, pinch runner Jung Joon-jae's stolen base failed, and the inning ended.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, KT's Andrew Stevenson hit an infield single and stole to second base. Heo Kyung-min hit SSG closer Cho Byung-hyun's fork ball when it was a bit crowded in the middle, and the game ended with a perfect cut in the left-center. Heo Kyung-min's fourth individual walk-off hit.

Huh Kyung-min said "I thought there would be real damage if we lost a game on a day like this because we were winning and got a home run. I like to connect, but I really wanted to solve this moment"I thought we should not be late for the fastball unconditionally. I thought so because I liked the fastball so much that I went in, but I threw wildly, so the moment I went to second base, I thought I would hit something. I think the fork ball coming to the floor was pushed a little bit and fell off was a real hit.
As for the emotion as soon as I finished "I could only see the blue grass. I played baseball for so long that I thought it was over unconditionally."
Choi Jeong's hit in the top of the eighth inning remained a burden to Huh Kyung-min. Heo Kyung-min was a ball that could cope with that. However, Heo Kyung-min was disappointed that he could not catch it. It naturally led to a sense of responsibility to hit a walk-off hit. Heo Kyung-min said "It was too bad. It wasn't an easy hit, but what I thought came into my glove pocket went out. I was lamenting, but the moment I hit the home run, I thought, "What should I do?" "So I thought I wanted to finish it somehow at the end." he said.
Heo Kyung-min said "Not only today's game, but one game is too fierce. I think if you win such a game, you will have a good atmosphere for more than one game. However, today's game ended today, and there are important games left, so I think I should keep my composure and cheer up from tomorrow's game" he said.
