Although he hates it, he made a shocking comeback by pushing back the record of seven consecutive four-pitch pitches and six consecutive throws. The bare face of the No. 1 bullpen, which he wanted to hide, was revealed

The LG Twins set a new record for the most consecutive four pitches. He allowed walks and hit balls against as many as seven batters in a row. NC scored six points by pushing six straight without a hit with seven consecutive four pitches in a chance of two outs and second and third bases, winning a 9-5 come-from-behind victory.
It happened in the bottom of the sixth inning when they were trailing 3-5.
LG's starter Song Seung-ki collapsed in the bottom of the fourth inning and was replaced early. Song Seung-ki, who had been very strong with two wins, no losses and an ERA of 1.59 in the previous three NC matches, was sluggish as he felt a lot of pressure to win, allowing four hits in a row at the bottom of the fourth inning, being overturned 2-3 and facing a crisis of one out and runners on the first and second bases, LG eventually had no choice but to make an early replacement. Recently, Kim Young-woo, who is in the best condition at LG, had to be raised to prevent the crisis.
Kim Young-woo blocked it without additional runs, and LG scored two runs in the top of the fourth inning to turn the game around 4-3.
LG seemed to be looking for a comfort as Kim Jin-sung came up in the bottom of the fifth inning and blocked it with three outs. And in the top of the sixth inning, Moon Bo-kyung's double and the opponent's pitcher's wild pitch added one more run to lead by 5-3, two runs.
However, I experienced a shocking situation in the bottom of the sixth inning.
He had a heavy hit by No. 8 Kim Hyung-joon, who seemed to treat No. 9 Do Tae-hoon as a double play in front of the third baseman. However, after a video review, it was confirmed that the foot fell from the first base when the first baseman caught the ball, and the batter was declared safe. He caught No. 1 Kwon Hee-dong with a fly to center field to make two outs, but allowed Choi Won-joon to double to left-center, with two outs and runners on second and third bases.
At this time, LG raised veteran Ham Deok-ju to face Park Gun-woo. After a full count match, the sixth fastball fell out and walked. He also led Davison, who faced Davison with the bases loaded with two outs, to a full count, but the changeup on the sixth pitch fell outside and became another walk, allowing the first push-out score. 5-4.

He only needs to catch one batter, but as soon as he took the mound, he walked three consecutive times to tie the game 5-5.
In the end, LG had to change pitchers again. The pitcher who came up is Baek Seung-hyun. On this day, he came back to the first team. In the last four games in the second division, he hoped to play a stable pitching without a walk to the batter, but it was different in a crisis situation.
I threw it around the outside, but it didn't come into the zone. The second pitch was ruled a strike across the line, but all the rest of the balls fell out and eventually walked again. Now it's a 5-6 upset. He then threw two low balls in the match against Seo Ho-cheol and a fastball that entered the zone on the third pitch became a foul. However, the fourth fastball fell out, and the fifth fastball went deep into the body and hit the body. 5-7 with a push dune.
In the end, there is no choice but to replace the pitcher again.
This time, the Yeezy River came up. In the bottom of the sixth inning alone, Kim Hyung-joon came into the batter's box for the second time. The first fastball became a high ball, and the second pitch was a fork ball, but it was too low. And all three and four fastballs are high, and he pushes them with straight walks again. 5-8.
To Do Tae-hoon, a fastball thrown at the first pitch flew toward his body and hit him in the arm. As many as seven batters in a row, four pitches made it six consecutive runs.

The four-point difference is not that big of a difference in modern baseball, but it was not easy to revive the atmosphere because it was an absurd run that gave up only six points with seven consecutive four pitches.
Rather, NC beat Kim Hwi-jip's solo shot and lost 5-10.
LG will lose 83 wins, 3 draws and 52 losses, trailing Hanwha Eagles (80 wins, 3 draws and 54 losses), whose game was canceled by rain, by 2.5 games.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has always said that he hates walks the most, asking pitchers to go head-to-head. The irony was created that LG set a new KBO league record of seven consecutive four pitches.
As a result of the game, it was confirmed that only Kim Young-woo and Kim Jin-sung were the clear bullpen winners, but the weak LG's bullpen was unveiled. In the end, he only confirmed the situation where it became difficult to guarantee victory if the starter failed to throw up to six innings. In the rest of the game, the starting team's shoulders became heavier.
