After the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said "The content was not good, but I think it's a comfort to the fans with the last score."
As for the appointment of players, he was losing the game, and he had to look at the timing of the replacement of other players as well as the catcher in a tight situation. If you suddenly enter a tight situation, it is difficult for the players. I tried to use players who couldn't play in the game."
