At the bottom of the first inning of the game between Kiwoom and Lotte at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 20th, a dizzying situation unfolded. This is because Lotte's Hwang Sung-bin, who played leadoff, was hit in the head by Kiwoom's rookie pitcher Park Jung-hoon's pitch.
Even in a dangerous headshot situation, Hwang Sung-bin stood up with the pain and smiled at the embarrassed rookie pitcher, showing his personality.

While Kiwoom scored the first run with Song Sung-moon's two-run home run to the left in the top of the first inning, left-hander rookie Park Jung-hoon took the mound. Park Jung-hoon's start on the day was his third professional debut.
With ball count 1B1S, the moment Park Jung-hoon's pitch leaves his fingertips "Tap!" Hwang Sung-bin of the at-bat sat down, holding his right ear with a sound. It was a head shot.

| Unable to stand up as if in pain |
|
There was a moment of silence on the ground. Park Jung-hoon, who was previously trying to catch the count with two fastballs, threw a slider on the third pitch, but he couldn't control it. When Hwang Sung-bin was hit in the head by his ball, Park Jung-hoon could not hide his bewildered expression as he looked at his left hand throwing the ball.

Head coach Cho Won-woo and training coach quickly ran out to check Hwang Sung-bin's condition. It was a fortunate situation because he was hit by a breaking ball, not a fast fastball. Hwang Sung-bin, who crouched down, slowly rose up and began to gather himself.

At that time, Park Jung-hoon came down to the front of the at-bat, took off his hat and bowed his head to express his sorry. Hwang Sung-bin, who was well aware of the rookie's embarrassment, smiled and said okay. It was a scene where I felt the dignity of a senior who was considerate of a rookie even though it was the opposite team.

I got a head shot, but I couldn't stop my galloping instincts. Hwang Sung-bin, who went to first base in Han Tae-yang's subsequent at-bat, attempted to steal from the first pitch.
Kim Gun-hee's sharp throw to second base continued, but it was after Hwang Sung-bin's hand, who made a head-first sliding, had already touched the base. Han Tae-yang's walk created a chance to score first and second bases with no outs, but Hwang Sung-bin advanced to third base due to Yoon Dong-hee's double play.

Song Sung-moon came to Hwang Sung-bin, who was on third base, and Hwang Sung-bin took off his helmet and showed the back of his red, swollen right ear. Song Sung-moon gently touched his still hot ears and comforted him.
