Kiwoom escaped its long and long eight-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 22nd. I could take a breather for a mid-range leap.
Taking advantage of Lotte starter Park Se-woong’s poor control in the first inning, he scored four points and took the lead. Since then, he has allowed Lotte to get on base almost every inning, but he has managed to block a run. And after overcoming the full base crisis with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, leadoff hitter Kim Hye-sung’s triple and Lee Jung-hoo’s timely hit scored additional runs in the top of the seventh inning. Since then, there has been a crisis, but it has become a wedge in the atmosphere of the game.
Kim Hye-sung, who started as the second baseman, got on base with a ball that hit his body in the first inning and led the team to escape the losing streak with a decisive triple in the seventh inning. After the game, Kim Hye-sung said, “If I lose today, it will be a tie for nine consecutive losses.”I never wanted to. “All the players were able to win with that mind,” he said adding, “The purpose was to get on base unconditionally rather than aiming in the seventh inning.” When I was the leadoff hitter recently, I couldn’t survive, so I thought I could score if I got on base. “Fortunately, my desire to get on base unconditionally led to good results,” he laughed.
However, Kim Hye-sung’s smile also disappeared when asked about the team’s key player injury. His expression was bound to harden. Lee Jung-hoo, who succeeded in getting on base in all at-bats, including three hits and one walk, was replaced during defense in the eighth inning. I had pain in my left ankle and limped. In the end, he had to return with the help of a trainer until the dugout. For now, the club said it was icing, and the hospital examination will be conducted after monitoring the condition.
However, Kim Hye-sung, who watched Lee Jung-hoo’s condition around him, was worried. He said, “I’ll have to go to the hospital to know, but in fact, the injury doesn’t seem to be light. That’s why I’m heartbroken,” he said adding, “I hope Jung-hoo, our team captain and key player, will never be a big injury.”
He was ranked ninth with eight consecutive losses, but there is not a big gap with the middle class. With the escape of eight consecutive losses, Kiwoom pulled down Hanwha and moved back to eighth place. It is only 3.5 games apart from fifth-place Lotte. Kim Hye-sung said, “We can go up to 4th to 5th place at any time again.” “Since there is not much difference, I will work hard every game without losing hope,” he vowed.
