"If the atmosphere is good...."

The Hanwha Eagles will play the second round of the postseason playoff against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 19th.

Hanwha, which took the postseason stage for the first time in seven years, succeeded in gaining the upper hand by taking the first game. As Cody Ponce (Hanwha) and Kherson Garavito (Samsung) were attached, the pitching match was expected to take place. However, when I opened the lid, there was a battle of 'changchang'.




For Hanwha, Ponce, a four-time pitcher with 17 wins, was shaken by six runs in six innings. To make matters worse, closer Kim Seo-hyun also failed to take responsibility for the last inning of a three-run lead, allowing a home run. However, the batters scored nine points by hitting 15 hits, and eventually won 9-8.

There is a 76.5% chance that a team that has won the first round of the playoffs will advance to the Korean Series (26 out of 34).

Hanwha put Ryan Weiss as the starting pitcher for Game 2. Weiss went 16-5 with a 2.87 ERA in 30 games this season. Although hidden by Ponce's splendor, he boasted stability to the extent that he pitched 21 quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs) in 30 games.

Hanwha brought the same lineup as Game 1. Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (captor), and Shim Woo-jun (striker) will start.

Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `I don't think there's a need to change if the atmosphere is good the day before.'
