"I told you not to go!"

Lee Ho-joon, manager of the NC Dinos, was outraged. It appeared to be an obvious cause of death. Whether it's a runner or a coach, it seems that the 'transmission accident' has occurred.

NC lost 5-6 to the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 3rd after extra innings. It was a shame that he had a chance to hit first base with no outs in the top of the ninth inning. pinch runner Hong Jong-pyo failed to steal a base. Hong Jong-pyo is a resource that NC acquired from KIA through a trade in July.




In the top of the ninth inning, when the score was 5-5, NC faced Hanwha closer Kim Seo-hyun.

NC took the opportunity as leadoff hitter Do Tae-hoon got on base with a hit ball. NC put in Hong Jong-pyo, a pinch runner.

Oh Young-soo's at-bat with no outs and no outs. Kim Seo-hyun's ball control was shaken. Two balls went in.




After a foul on the third pitch, Hong Jong-pyo, the fourth runner on the first base, started the game.

Hanwha catcher Heo In-seo accurately threw to second base. Auto-tagged to sliding path and perfect out.

The runner disappeared with one out.

The game between NC and Hanwha at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 3rd, and Hanwha Hwang Young-mook, with one out and runners on the 2nd and 3rd bases, cheers with a walk-off hit in the bottom of the 10th inning of overtime. Daejeon = Reporter's book@sportschosun.com/2025.09.03/
Coach Lee Ho-joon strongly expressed his regret in the dugout. "I told you not to go," he was seen yelling on the broadcast screen.

In fact, a single steal at first base with no outs is a very bold operation. One runner and one out count rarely come out of the 9th inning, which is directly related to victory or defeat. Rather, even a runner in the green light is often instructed not to run in such a situation.

However, since Hong Jong-pyo was caught in vain at second base, head coach Lee Ho-joon is bound to be embarrassed. It is very likely that the runner or coach misunderstood the cause of death or that the delivery was not done properly.

The follow-up situation made NC even more regrettable. With the runner with two outs gone, Kwon Hee-dong walked to base. Park Si-won hit a right-handed hit to collect runners on the first and third bases. Park Se-hyuk was out on a fly ball to left field, which did not lead to a score. An earlier outcount came to mind.

NC eventually failed to hold out in the bottom of the 10th inning. With one out and runners on the first and third bases, Hwang Young-mook hit a walk-off hit and sank.
