Professional baseball Doosan swept all three KIA games in front of a full crowd. And pushed KIA to a 5-game losing streak.
Doosan won 8-4 in the home game against KIA held at Jamsil Stadium on the 14th. At the end of the 8th inning, right after Park Gye-beom’s final sacrifice fly, hitter Yang Eui-ji pulled KIA Jang Hyeon-shik’s fastball from 1st out and 1st base, and hit a wedge with a two-run home run.
Following the previous day, 23,750 seats in Jamsil were sold out. Doosan met Lotte following the opening two consecutive matches on April 1-2, and met KIA again and sold out two consecutive matches on the weekend and swept all three matches.
The game started with a reverse fight between KIA native ace Yang Hyeon-jong and Doosan ace Raul Alcantara. The game was mixed on defense. While Doosan’s outfield team, centered on center fielder Sue-bin Su, threw away KIA’s long-hit balls one after another, the KIA infield team made mistakes and gave Doosan crucial points.
From Yang Hyun-jong, who challenged for second place alone with 161 wins, Doosan took the first point by hitting three consecutive hits after two deaths at the end of the fourth inning. Yang Hyeon-jong faced a hurdle at the end of the 6th inning with the number of pitches to 100, and here the infielders’ decisive mistakes actually crushed Yang Hyeon-jong.
Third baseman Ryu Ji-hyeok, who caught Min-hyeok Kim’s ground ball at number 6 from first base safely, threw it to second base to catch the runner on first base, but second baseman Sun-bin Kim missed it. When it became 1st and 2nd base safely due to an error in the catch, Doosan made 1 out 2nd and 3rd base with Song Seung-hwan’s sacrifice bunt, and added 1 point with Jo Soo-haeng’s bunt number 8 again. KIA catcher Han Seung-taek ran to the bunt that was well placed on the third base line, and third base runner Heo Gyeong-min ran into an empty home and scored.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who threw 100, continued to throw. However, he allowed a timely hit to Lee Yu-chan in the ninth. Even after Yang Hyeon-jong went down in 0-3, another defensive mistake came out. Second baseman Kim Seon-bin rushed to catch Park Gye-beom’s bunt ball at 2nd and 1st and 3rd base, and rushed to throw it away, but first baseman Hwang Dae-in failed to catch it. It was not recorded as an error, but it was an infield hit due to poor defense, and third base runner Jo Su-haeng stepped on the home plate and it became a timely hit. Doosan took a 4-0 lead.
Yang Hyun-jong withdrew first with 10 hits and 4 runs (2 earned) in 5.1 innings. Doosan also allowed Alcantara to tie the game from the bullpen in the top of the 7th inning as soon as Alcantara pitched well with 7 hits and 9 strikeouts in 6 innings and withdrew. When Kim Kang-ryul allowed Kim Seon-bin to score 1 run with an infield grounder at the bases full, Lee Byung-hun took the mound at 1st and 3rd base safely, but gave up a 3-run home run to Choi Hyung-woo. However, at the end of the 8th inning, KIA’s decisive mistake broke the balance and won 토토사이트.
