The LG Twins suffered a come-from-behind loss in the match against the KT Wiz in Jamsil on the 11th, narrowing the gap with the second-place Hanwha Eagles to 3.5 games. He led 4-0 and allowed a 4-4 tie in the top of the seventh inning, was hit by a two-run triple by Kwon Dong-jin in the top of the eighth inning, and eventually suffered a come-from-behind loss of 4-6.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `The game against the NC Dinos on the 12th, the next day, we lost the game, won the losing game…", he couldn't hide his regret. Coach Yeom said, `The atmosphere was created when I didn't score an additional goal. I just need to get one more point, but I can't do that"Baseball is really...," he said, describing the difficulties of baseball that did not go his way.
There was a scene that was disappointing at the beginning of the seventh inning. Catcher Park Dong-won, who received pitcher Kim Young-woo's throw during Kang Hyun-woo's bunt with no outs and runners on the first and third bases, was out-timing, but he failed to tag third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun and scored.
Kim Young-woo caught the ball and threw it quickly, and when Park Dong-won caught it, Hwang Jae-kyun was not even near the home yet. Park Dong-won put the mitt on the home plate side, but Hwang Jae-kyun quickly came in with his right hand, not his left hand, avoiding the mitt and hitting the home first, and the referee also saw it and declared safe. Video reading also confirms safe.
There were voices of criticism that it was a complacent play for Park Dong-won because he seemed to have some time to spare.
However, coach Yeom defended Park Dong-won by saying, `It's an individual's quickness, but it's not easy if you actually try it.'
Coach Yeom said, `In the case of Austin before that, it should have been out because it was completely out timing, but didn't it become a safe. That's how hard it is for the catcher to catch him, he said. "No one of our coaches can say anything to Park Dong-won. Because I've played baseball, I know it's difficult."
"These days, swimming sliding by Austin and others seems to have become a trend," he said. "I think defenders should pay attention." If you have enough time, you can just put it in, but it's not easy to cover with just your glove when you can't afford it.
