The KIA Tigers swept through the weekend’s second straight game against leaders NC Dinos.

KIA won a 4-3 win against Shinhan Bank Sol KBO League NC 2020 held at Changwon NC Park on the 13th.

At first, a close battle developed. If NC scored, KIA responded.

At the end of the first inning, the NC scored the lead with a left-handed hit by Park Min-woo, a leading player, and a left-handed hit by Na Seong-beom from 1st and 2nd base while stealing second base.

The KIA tied the score with a timely hit by Preston Tucker at the start of the third inning. After Park Chan-ho’s hit with his right hand, Choi Won-joon entered first and second base on a second base error, and Tucker reached the middle of the game and switched the game to origin.

The NC broke the balance again. At the end of the third inning against NC 1-1, third baseman Park Min-woo scored ahead of Yang Ui-ji’s second baseman grounder late in the third inning.

However, the KIA concentration was brighter. At the beginning of the 4th inning, KIA lost 1st to 2nd and 3rd to Han Seung-taek’s sacrifice bun when leader Yoo Min-sang and Kim Tae-jin hit back-to-back hits in the fourth inning. Hong Jong-pyo scored a 2-2 draw when hitting a sacrifice fly from left fielder.

At the end of the match with Song Myeong-gi, Park Chan-ho chose a walk and hit the flow, and Choi Won-joon hit the right hand and changed the game to 3-2.

KIA, which continued to lead by 1 point, chose an additional point at the beginning of the eighth. Na Ji-wan hit a double that landed to the left of left fielder, and Yoo Min-sang added a point with a timely hit to the right.

NC had a chance to fight back late in the eighth inning. The successive hits of Lee Won-jae and Park Seok-min and the sacrifice of Noh Jin-hyuk burned to connect first and second base, and Aaron Altair walked with a ball that conforms to his body. However, he couldn’t turn the game around by making up a point with a sacrifice fly by Kwon Hee-dong from left field at the best chance.

KIA Park Joon-pyo, who returned from a finger ligament injury, took the mound at the end of the ninth inning and finished the game with a zero-goal inning.

Kiwoom Heroes and Doosan Bears couldn’t decide the game at 6-6. No one laughed at the longest time this season, 5 hours and 24 minutes.

Kiwoom (65 wins, 1 draw, 45 losses, 0.591 win rate) lost the game difference to the leading NC (60 wins 3 draws 40 losses, 0.600 win rate), but kept second in win rate. Doosan, who was looking for fifth place KT Wiz (58 wins 1 draw 46 losses, 0.558), managed to keep fourth place (57 wins 4 draws 45 losses, 0.559).

Neither team showed the ability to solve at random. Doosan and Kiwoom left 14 and 18 remaining bases, respectively, and the other ships remained silent in the game.

Kiwoom took the lead at 1st, 1st and 2nd base at the end of the 1st inning with a well-timed punch from Lee Jeong-hoo. Doosan, who balanced 1-1 on a timely double hit by Gyeong-min Heo in the middle from left and right from first base in the second inning, was successful in the third inning.

Kiwoom Lee Seung-ho’s pitching pitcher to second base, who caught Kim Jae-hwan’s groundout at first base, missed and made a complete base on a hit from Oh Jae-il’s right hand at 1st. and 1st base connected. Heo Gyeong-min hit a sacrifice fly from the right fielder and brought the game home.

In the fifth episode, he got additional points. Again, Kiwoom’s defense shuddered. At 1st, 1st and 3rd base, Kim Jae-ho’s groundball from shortstop, while shortstop Edison Russell made a bad move to second base, while third-base running back Kim Jae-hwan stepped on the groove and added one more point.

Kiwoom also immediately counterattacked. At the end of the fifth inning, trailing 1-3, Lee Jung-hoo hit the right hit of two RBIs on a hit with two walks and one hit. Tie 3-3.

The game kept fluctuating. Doosan fled early in the sixth. At 2nd, 1st and 2nd base, followed by Choi Joo-Hwan’s hit with his right hand and Kim Jae-hwan’s walk, Oh Jae-il hit a double that split the right middle and called them both.

Kiwoom swept 3 points at the end of the eighth inning, which was dragged down 3-5.

Park Joon-tae’s hit with his right hand and Seo Gun-chang’s double with his right hand made it a second and third base opportunity. Kim Ha-sung struck out, but Kim Woong-bin tied 5-5 with two RBIs.

Kiwoom, who was in the flow, got a full shot again on Russell’s left-handed hits at 1st and 2nd base, which continued with Lee Jung-hoo’s 4 intentional pitches. Heo Jeong-hyup hit the grounder at shortstop, and meanwhile, third baseman Park Jung-eum stepped on the groove to regain the lead.

Doosan completed the ninth inning and attacked Sang-woo Cho. At the first base of the second company, Heo Gyeong-min’s hit and Kim Jae-ho and up-and-coming Kim In-tae walked together for a full shot. Park Se-hyuk scored a 6-6 draw after winning an 8-foot match with Cho Sang-woo.

In overtime, both teams were silent. Doosan couldn’t take the opportunity to be safe at first and second base in the 10th inning, and Kiwoom turned empty-handed from first and first base late in the 11th inning and bowed his head.

The main character at Jamsil Stadium where Samsung Lions and LG Twins faced off was Choi Chae-heung, a southpaw from Samsung.

Choi Chae-heung was the only pitcher to make the mound at Samsung that day. Choi Chae-heung showed a perfect shot with 4 hits and a zero goal throwing only until the ninth inning.

Total number of pitches is 110. For 10 strikeouts, only 1 walks.

When the team won 11-0, Choi Chae-heung relished the joy of his first complete victory.

Samsung hitters supported Choi Chae-heung with 18 hits and 11 points. Samsung, who scored 1 point lightly by bringing in Park Hae-min, who doubled in the first inning on a ground roll, made it 2-0 on a home run by Kim Dong-yeop, the lead from the second. entry.

In the third inning, Samsung, who earned 2 points from an opponent’s error, ran 7-0 followed by Kim Sang-soo and Koo Ja-wook in the fifth inning of the second round. By adding 3 points to the sixth inning, the game was pretty much split.

Kim Dong-yeop, who came out as designated hitter, led the attack with 5 hits in 6 at-bats, 4 points and 1 RBI. Samsung held the eighth place with 48 wins, 2 draws and 56 losses.

LG, tied with Choi Chae-heung, held the awkward third place with 59 wins, 3 draws and 45 losses. Starter Kim Yoon-sik was a losing yoke with 2 hits, 6 hits and 3 runs (2 ERA).

KT Wiz won a 5-4 trade against the lower-ranked Hanwha Eagles.

KT and Hanwha exchanged two points each in the two attacks. At the beginning of the 4, Hanwha broke the balance. Leading hitter Kang Gyeong-hak, who walked on base, landed on third base on Oh Sun-jin’s sacrifice bunt and the opponent’s fastball.

Hanwha took the lead 3-2 when Kang Gyeong-hak stepped into the groove during the sacrifice fly for Choi In-ho’s left fielder.

Hanwha, who held the lead by pitching after Kye Too Jin’s no-run point, escaped from 2nd, 1st and 2nd base at 8th to 2nd point with a heavy hit from Oh Sunjin.

Hanwha finished with Jung Woo-ram to host the game at the end of the ninth inning. However, KT’s resistance was fierce.

KT made up 1 point on Jo Yong-ho’s infield hits from 1st, 2nd and 3rd base captured on hits, walks and sacrifice buns. Then Hwang Jae-gyun’s sacrifice fly balanced 4-4.

The ending was decorated by Lohas. The batting ball that Lohas hit at second company first base soared high between center fielder and second baseman. Song Min-seop, who stopped starting the moment the batted ball came to mind, ran to the plate as Hanwha’s second baseman missed the ball, marking a period in the game.

Jeon Yoo-soo, who stopped the ninth inning without running, became the lucky winner. Hanwha’s finisher Jung Woo-ram couldn’t keep up with the difference and bowed his head.

SK Wyverns beat the Lotte Giants 3-1.

The three SK points came from the bats of the brothers Choi Jeong and Choi Hyang.

Elder brother Choi Jung came out first. At the end of the fourth inning, Choi Jung-eun, who was dragged to 0-1, beat Lotte Park’s starter Se-woong’s second ball and hit a two-run backhand across the left wall.

In episode 5, my younger brother Choi Hyang replied. Choi Hyang gave the team a 3-1 lead with a solo home run. Once again, the scapegoat was Park Se-woong.

It is the first time since the launch of the KBO League in 1982 that brothers on the same team hit a home run against a pitcher in the same game.

This is the third home run with the brothers.

Cheongbo Pintos brothers Yang Seung-gwan-Yang Hu-seung hit the same team brothers’ first home run in Incheon Lotte on July 31, 1986. On June 2, 2015, at the LG Twins-NC Dinos game, the brothers LG Na Sung-yong and NC Na Sung-beom, who became known as rival teams, hit a home run next to each other.

Pitchers responded to the record. SK starter Pinto blocked Lotte’s other line with 4 hits and 1 run in 6 innings. SK took the victory when Tae-hoon Kim, Young-il Jung, and Se-hyun Kim were in charge of each inning. SK in ninth place (36 wins, 1 draw, 71 losses) earned 4 consecutive wins. Pinto had his fifth victory (12 losses).

Seventh place Lotte (52 wins, 1 draw, 50 losses) scored just 1 point on 5 hits and fell for a second straight win. Starter Park Se-woong became a losing pitcher with two home runs even though he pitched well with four hits and three runs in 7 innings.

Meanwhile, the SK-Lotte match ended in 2 hours and 4 minutes and was recorded as the shortest match this season.
