God helps too … Doosan Tabletop Choking Defense | Hankyung.com

[엑스포츠뉴스 고척, 김현세 기자] There was no time for water to leak. The strength of the Doosan Bears was, after all, a defense.

On the 18th, Doosan won the Gocheok NC and the Korean Series in the second game 5-4. With 1 win and 1 loss in the series, we can start over. Despite the ace being attacked, the defense persisted even though his batting condition did not fully recover. Made only 5 pieces. Defense was a factor that kept the atmosphere going whenever NC chased it. Kim Jae-ho thought, “Although the flow came and went, it could be cut off as a defense.”

It started with Gyeongmin Heo. At the end of the first inning, Lee Myung-gi hit third baseman Heo Kyung-min from first base. At that point, first base running back Park Min-woo was caught in the end-of-run operation and it was difficult to get back. Heo Gyeong-min caught him quickly and threw first base to increase the count. At the end of the second inning, at the end of the second inning, he caught the battered ball when Jin-sung Kang was landing and threw first base after a force out at third base and caught the batter-runner. Heo Gyeong-min clenched his fists and roared.

There were also several ways the side game was completed. At the end of the fourth inning, Park Gun-woo grabbed Aaron Altair’s flying ball and took out Yang Ui-ji, who got into the slot. Songgu was accurate and fast. Park Geon-woo has been proud of his strength to record 7 Bodhisattvas this season. After the game, coach Kim Tae-hyung said, “When it was important, the Bodhisattva came out and the crisis passed.”

Like NC, the flow of attacks continued to be interrupted, which made it frustrating. After the game, coach Lee Dong-wook said, ‘I was disappointed that he got a ball to hit. Up to that point, the main thing was that Doosan’s defense played calmly and fought, but there was also a scene where the real ‘BABIP’ helped. At the end of the fifth inning, Lee Myung-ki headed straight for Kim Jae-ho at first base. Kim Jae-ho jumped up and caught him, and even Park Min-woo, who couldn’t return home, tagged him.

There was also a play that seemed to bring Doosan bad luck, but as a result, luck was followed. At the end of the sixth inning, Park Seok-min hit starter Chris Flexen’s leg and bounced, and first baseman Oh Jae-il played shortstop Kim Jae-ho. Kim Jae-ho said, “ The game was able to pass in that defense, ” and said, “ It turned into an atmosphere where we could score additional goals after being hit by a bent leg.

Coach Kim said: “We had a front batting ball and good defense gave us a chance to win like we did.” The key factor behind Doosan’s reversal of atmosphere in the second game was also defense.
