Doosan returns to fifth place as ‘Excellent’

LG wins 6-5… 4 consecutive losses, escape humiliationTeam coach Kim Tae-hyung resurrects after leavingPark Se-hyuk leads the backhand with a finishing blow

Doosan, who fell into slowness this season, has revived from the edge of the cliff, which does not correspond to the achievement of advancing to the Korean series for five consecutive years.

Doosan won the game against LG at Seoul’s Jamsil Stadium on the 20th with a 6-5 hit from Park Se-hyuk at the end of the ninth inning. Doosan expelled KIA, which lost 3-11 to Hanwha, and climbed back to fifth place.

The day before, Doosan fell to sixth place, losing 4 consecutive losses. It has been 3 years and 4 months since May 10, 2017 (sixth place, 15 wins, 1 draw, and 17 losses) that Doosan was kicked out of fifth place after playing more than 10 games in the regular season. It’s been six years since October 2014 that Doosan was out of fifth place in the second half, when the outlines of the qualifying fight were revealed.

Doosan’s coach, Kim Tae-hyung, tried not to accept the recent losing streak as a major crisis. Director Kim, who suffered numerous defeats after taking office in 2015, said: “I don’t want to talk about it as an emergency. With 33 games left, we have to fight to the end and climb the rankings. There is no need to overload the players. ” Although he cited the recent slow factor as a starting pitcher, he tried to accept it as “it’s nice to reverse the game and score points, but that’s the case when the game loses.”

However, even the ‘first headline’ Raúl Alcanta, whom he believed, fell short of expectations, revealing the concerns of recent Doosan headlines. Alcantara gave LG the lead with 7 hits, 2 home runs, 8 strikeouts and 5 runs in 5 innings.

At the end of the fourth inning, Coach Kim was even sent off. At the end of the fourth inning, which he was chasing for 2-3, the ball hit Park Se-hyuk’s body and the warrior’s first and second base made by Heo Kyung-min’s walk, the process of catching the ball from José Miguel Fernandes and handling the bat ball from LG third baseman Kim Min-seong was a bit different. Park Se-hyuk judged that Kim Min-seong had caught the tied ball and advanced to third base, avoiding the tight play of the LG Keystone Combi. However, the umpires judged Kim Min-sung’s batted ball as no limit and declared Fernandez’s direct third baseman and Park Se-hyuk’s force out to second base. Doosan requested the reading of videos, but the court case was not resolved. Consequently, Coach Kim protested and was sent off.

Even after Director Kim left, Doosan was dragged 2-5. However, the concentration of other boats in the second half of the game led to Doosan’s victory. In the eighth inning, heavy hits from leading hitter Choi Joo-Hwan opened the door, and Sue-bin and Park Se-hyuk walked consecutively. LG switched pitcher from Jin Hae-soo to Jung Woo-young, but Heo Gyeong-min continued his momentum and hit in the right place. Kim In-tae and Kim Jae-hwan made a 5-5 tie with a continuous walk on the continuous one-man base.

And after 2 kills in the ninth inning, Jeongsu-bin walked and got a chance to finish. When the next hitter Park Se-hyuk, Soo-bin managed to steal second base. Park Se-hyuk hit the right fielder after struggling until the eighth pitch. While right fielder Chae Eun-sung groped for the batting ball, Sue-bin stepped on the groove and the game ended.

In literature, KT, whose starter Audrey Samer Despine scored a run in 6 innings (visa book), beat SK 10-2. With 14 wins, Despine earned the honor of being the most successful pitcher in a season since the founding of the KT club. Samsung won a 14-6 victory over Kiwoom and escaped from 4 consecutive defeats. The North Carolina leader won both Nakdong River Derby (7-2, 6-2) double headers against Lotte held at Sajik, and held first place by splitting the trip against second place in 2.5 games.
