SSG Landers lost 2-5 to the Samsung Lions in Game 3 of the semi-playoff in Daegu on the 13th. The game was decided in the bottom of the third inning. At 0-0, Drew Anderson shook and walked and hits piled up runners.
Kim Sung-yoon's hit with two outs and runners on the first and third bases became a fast grounder to the second base. Ahn Sang-hyun, who tried to catch the ball by running in, caught the ball well, but the throw to the first base completely fell back because he was conscious of Kim Sung-yoon, a fast hitter. First baseman Ko Myung-joon threw himself, but it was not enough to catch him.
Even if third baseman Kang Min-ho couldn't stop scoring, it was too painful for first baseman Kim Ji-chan to come home. If lucky, it could have been prevented by the end of the inning or at least one run, but it was a fatal hit that led to two runs due to the addition of the opponent's shrewd base play. Later, Anderson allowed three runs in the bottom of the third inning due to an additional RBI timely hit by Koo Ja-wook.
SSG, which lost its initial flow, failed to shake its opponent significantly until the end and lost 3-5. Ahn Sang-hyun, who did not work out well in defense errors and attacks, had no choice but to bow his head. After the third game, head coach Lee Soo-yong said, "I failed to attack Won Tae-in, and I was disappointed with one error in the third inning." Still, I wanted to give Ahn Sang-hyun more opportunity." he said.
In Game 4, the next day, Ahn Sang-hyun was excluded from the starting lineup. Jung Joon-jae will start as second baseman. Manager Lee Soo-yong briefly met with Ahn Sang-hyun at the ballpark and had a conversation.
Director Lee said, `We have to overcome it anyway. I heard Sanghyun didn't sleep at all yesterday. Yesterday, if there was a runner in front of me, I would have thought about it and used a substitute, and I thought the damage would be greater if I took it out in the middle. You have to experience that, too. Jung Joon-jae and Ahn Sang-hyun are the players we should continue to use. I'm feeling a lot of things myself. I thought about whether I should use it again today, but I thought it would be worse if I didn't get a good result, so Jun-jae goes out as a starter.
