KIA Tigers wrote a dramatic turnaround.
In the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at the Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 21st, KIA won 5-4 thanks to Choi Hyung-woo’s three-run four at the end of the 9th inning, where the loss was dark 2-3.
In the bottom of the 9th inning, KIA succeeded in attacking when Lee Seung-hyun, Samsung’s new closer, came up. The first hitter, Lee Chang-jin, hit a hit that missed the third interval. Socrates picked a walk and created a chance for 1st and 2nd base. Choi Hyung-woo then hit a home run to end the run.
Neither team had good chances in the first half.
Against rookie Yoon Young-cheol, Samsung made two bases loaded with a walk by Kim Ji-chan, a left-handed hit by Pirella, and a walk by Lee Won-seok, but Oh Jae-il withdrew with a fly ball to second base. KIA also took chances with a walk of Ji-hyeok Ryu, a double from left fielder Jong-wook Koh, and a walk of Socrates, but subsequent batters were silent.
In the 3rd inning, KIA took the lead by hitting a hit by Byun Woo-hyeok that fell to the side of the second baseman in the 1st and 3rd bases, made with a walk by Jong-wook Ko and a hit by Socrates to the left. However, Kim Gyu-seong and Han Seung-taek struck out in the first run that led to Kim Ho-ryeong’s sand dune, and could not escape.
Samsung, who was dragged by KIA Yun Young-cheol up to the 4th inning, solved the clue in the 5th. After one death, Ja-wook Koo hit a double in the deep right corner, and Ji-chan Kim hit a hit that exceeded the height of the shortstop.
Against the changed pitcher Lim Ki-young, Pirella tied the score with a grounder on second base, and Jae-il Oh hit two RBIs in front of the right fielder in the following full base to turn it over to 3-1. In the 7th inning, Pirella, Kang Min-ho, and Lee Won-seok scored consecutive hits to make it 4-1.
KIA also swallowed Bunru in the 7th inning. Ryu Ji-hyeok, Lee Chang-jin, and Socrates pursued one point with consecutive hits. Unable to save the 1st and 2nd bases that followed, he hit the ground. However, in the last attack in the ninth inning, he succeeded in overturning and laughed. 메이저사이트
Yoon Young-cheol made up for the sluggishness in the first game by recording 5 hits, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts and 2 runs in 4⅓ innings. Lim Ki-young, who succeeded him, gave up a come-from-behind score and was shaken. Kim Ki-hoon blocked the 8th and 9th innings with no runs and laid the foundation for victory.
Samsung starter Jang Pil-joon, who made his first appearance, played only three innings and passed the ball to the bullpen. Samsung blocked the KIA attack by putting Lee Jae-ik and Kim Dae-woo in turn. Middleman Oh Seung-hwan, who took the mound with 1 out, 2nd and 3rd base in the 7th inning, caught two out counts well. However, in the ninth inning, Lee Seung-hyun collapsed and suffered a bitter come-from-behind defeat.
