KIA Tigers secured two consecutive wins and three consecutive winning series in a difficult situation.
KIA came from behind to win 13-7 against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 28th with the strength of its batters, who had 17 hits in long and short, including two home runs.안전놀이터
KIA turned the game around with the power of not giving up, although starting Aller and Yang Hyun-jong were dragged in the beginning with poor performance for two consecutive days.
On the previous day, Kia's main catcher Kim Do-young left the team due to a recurrence of a hamstring injury. The team was in a bad mood. Na Sung-bum, Kim Sun-bin, Wisdom and Park Jung-woo were already out due to injuries. Choi Won-joon also joined the second team. In terms of long-term performance, it was like playing without "cha-po-sang-ma."
Ahead of the match on Friday, Lee Bum-ho said, "Young players have to play for us. We can't afford to wait for when an injured player will come back. We have to overcome the young players who are in one game and can beat them."
Did he listen to the manager? Oh Seon-woo hit a home run in two consecutive games, and Yoon Do-hyun hit a homerun in pursuit and an equalizer. Kim Gyu-seong had three hits, and Kim Seok-hwan and Hwang Dae-in also had multi hits. Kim Ho-ryeong's two hits and three RBIs, which cannot be said to be a young player, were also glad to fill the center field position.
Coach Lee said after the game, "We were able to achieve a valuable victory because we allowed the opponent to come from behind in the top of the fifth inning and then made a point to follow immediately." He gave four runs in the fifth inning and fell to 2-6, but praised Yoon Do-hyun's home run and others for immediately following three runs.
Manager Lee continued, "Bullen players gave strength to the mound. All batters performed well regardless of the order of the upper and lower levels of the offense. The current players are literally the first team players. I think it's an opportunity and look forward to your performance as you did today."
