Why didn't he run after bunt.

The bunt, which sends him to second base with no outs, intends to make sure to score one point. However, with the follow-up one out and third base, an infield grounder came out, and the runner remained still.

Hanwha was completely defeated 2-8 in the first game of the Korean Series against the LG Twins in the 2025 KBO League postseason at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th. There was a big difference from LG in detail.




Hanwha missed a critical chance in the top of the fifth inning.

Hanwha, which was dragged 0-2, solved the clue in the top of the fifth inning when leadoff hitter Choi In-ho hit a double to left-center.

Although they were two points behind, Hanwha chose a sending bunt.




It is interpreted as an intention to make up for one point and watch it. Even if he scored only one run in the top of the fifth inning, he had four innings left on offense, so if he kept LG to two runs, he could chase.

Choi Jae-hoon faithfully handled the sacrifice bunt well. Choi In-ho safely made it to third base.

With one out and third base, the LG infield defended forward.




Hanwha deserved to aim for home if it wasn't a fast head-to-head hit even if it was an outfield fly or an infield grounder.

Lee Do-yoon rolled a ground ball between first and second bases. His batting speed was slow and he leaned to the right. LG second baseman Shin Min-jae even had to catch him as he slipped.

However, Choi In-ho, who was on third base, did not move. Hanwha's attack ended in failure when Son Ah-seop struck out with two outs and third base.

Coincidentally, LG faced the same situation at the end of the fifth inning. After one out, Shin Min-jae hit a triple.

LG made a completely different judgment. Austin hit a grounder to third base. Unlike Lee Do-yoon's batting, the speed in the front was also fast. Nevertheless, Shin Min-jae played home.

Hanwha's third baseman Noh Si-hwan failed to accurately throw home. Shin Min-jae scored as the home throw leaned far to the right.

In the same situation, LG, which was bolder, was able to score points.
