That's why Hong Chang-ki and Hong Chang-ki are here.

The first round of the Korean Series, the most important short-term game, was taken by the LG Twins.

LG won the first game of the Korean Series against the Hanwha Eagles at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th with an 8-2 complete victory, taking 73.2% of the chance of winning.




It ended more bland than I thought. Hanwha came up after playing the playoff against the Samsung Lions until Game 5, and the starting rotation was completely twisted as it used up two foreign pitchers from Ponce-Wice in Game 5.

However, the prospect that Hanwha will also be tough has also been strengthened. This is because Hanwha's proud strongest starters, Moon Dong-joo and Ryu Hyun-jin, were holding out.

However, the joys and sorrows of both teams were mixed early in the selection battle. Moon Dong-ju allowed two runs from the first inning, and the game began to tilt.




What is noteworthy is the fight against LG's No. 1 hitter Hong Chang-ki. Hanwha, you came up after five gamesHowever, LG has been waiting for nearly a month. Physical strength was a strength, but a sense of play was a weakness.

So the first round of the first round was important. Moon Dong-ju is a fast pitcher, so if he ends the attack in vain in the first inning by being blocked here, he can give the opponent a flow.

Perhaps that's why Moon Dong-ju confidently hit two straight fastballs to No. 1 Hong Chang-ki. 2S. Has gained a vantage point.

However, the ball control shook even after holding the 2S. In fact, the ball was high in the first and second pitches, but it was caught in the ABS zone. Three balls in a row were completely out of the zone. It was tense and consistently high, so the batter's bat could actually have followed. But Hong Chang-ki stood motionless like a machine for reading strikes.

2S has become a full count. The pitcher is at a disadvantage. When Moon Dong-ju had a hard time putting a fast fastball into the strike zone, Hong Chang-ki cut it without being greedy. Moon Dong-ju, who threw the ball of his mind, had no choice but to lose his strength, and the ball became a futile ball in the seventh pitch and put Hong Chang-ki on base.

Moon Dong-ju was embarrassed, so he made Shin Min-jae's missed ground ball into an infield single. He should have caught the ball and made the throw as fast as possible, but he couldn't make the throw with all his might, so he saved Shin Min-jae. He struck out Austin, but Kim Hyun-soo even committed a wild pitch at the plate. He got his first run on an infield grounder. He even allowed Moon Bo-kyung to make a timely hit as he gave him a score that he didn't have to give. With 23 pitches in the first inning alone, the difficult first inning may have hinted at the future of Moon Dong-joo and Hanwha. At the center was Hong Chang-ki's snow baseball. Although he suffered a major knee injury during the season, it was a moment when Hong Chang-ki, who returned healthy and served as a leadoff, was explained.
