August was a nightmarish time for NC. Starting with the game against Lotte on the 6th and the game against Hanwha on the 20th, it lost 11 consecutive games.

Captain Son Ah-seop and ace Park Gun-woo were out due to consecutive injuries, and Kyle Hart was absent from the starting rotation for a while due to colds. Eric Jokish, who was recruited as an alternative foreign pitcher, was sluggish as he failed to meet expectations.
