At least it's hard to compliment him for being sensible. The referee thought one out was right. However, as a result, the inning that had to end was not over, which led to the winning hit, so it would be unfair for the losing team.
Munsu Baseball Stadium in Ulsan on the 23rd. The NC Dinos blocked the road ahead of the Lotte Giants, who are busy with their autumn baseball challenges. He also properly repaid the humiliation of the 2-18 and 16-point defeat four days ago.
NC's Kim Hui-jip and Lotte's Yoon Dong-hee led the team's attack. When Yoon Dong-hee fired a come-from-behind shot against NC Logan in the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim Hwi-jip immediately got on base with a hit in the top of the seventh inning and then homered on a follow-up hit, bringing the game to square one.

Leadoff hitter Park Gun-woo walks, and Davison hits. NC has a chance to be a genius.
NC's choice here was bunting. Great runners Ko Seung-wan and Hong Jong-pyo were put in, and Chun Jae-hwan buntted.
The ball unexpectedly appeared in front of the home plate. It was a position that could be done as many times as possible, whether Lotte catcher Cho In-geun handled the fly ball as it was or momentarily dropped and played a double play.
But he didn't run right after Chun Jae-hwan buntted. I stood blankly in front of the home plate and looked at the ball. The bunt drop-off point was across the street.
The movement of Information Geun, who ran in a hurry, was blocked by Chun Jae-hwan. The catcher and the batter collided, and the ball fell to the ground as it was.

The referee's decision is ruled out due to the interference of the batter's defense. The runners were given an ointment. The runners returned to their respective positions.
If it was a double play after a deliberate fall, what about the next batter, Seo Ho-chul's grounder to first base?? Manager Kim Tae-hyung, who was not convinced that the inning would have ended as it was, went to the ground and protested, but it was also not accepted.
As the referee acknowledged it as one out of defense interference, Seo Ho-chul's groundout to the first base led to a chance to get on the second and third bases with two outs, and NC took the lead with Kim Hui-jip hitting a two-run double over the shortstop's height. And he succeeded in winning the flip by blocking the back door firmly.
