He got off to a bad start. Ko Young-pyo gave up. With runners on the first and third bases with no outs in the bottom of the first inning, he allowed Song to make a timely hit. Kim Hye-sung’s timely hit with an RBI. Choi Joo-hwan then walked, and with the bases loaded, Won Sung-joon scored an RBI by pushing a walk.
In the second inning, Lee Joo-hyung, Ronnie Dawson, and Song gave up one run as three consecutive hitters. Kim Hye-sung also had a sacrifice fly RBI. The score was 0-5.
Afterwards, both teams failed to score points, and the game was nearing an end. Kiwoom added three more points in the bottom of the seventh inning. The score was 8-0. KT was in deep loss. However, KT’s counterattack began from then on.
In the top of the eighth inning, leadoff hitter Kim Min-hyuk walked against the changed pitcher Cho Young-gun. Then, Mel Rojas Jr.’s RBI double made up for one run. After Kang Baek-ho stepped down with a fly ball to left field, Kwon Dong-jin walked out. Oh Jae-il stepped on the first base with a hit ball. With the bases loaded with one out, Kang Hyun-woo hit an RBI single with a pushover walk. The allocation team continued to post a sacrifice fly RBI. He had to be satisfied with getting three runs.
However, something more magical happened in the top of the ninth inning. With one out, Moon Sang-cheol walked, Kang Baek-ho hit, and Kwon Dong-jin hit, creating a bases-loaded opportunity. After Oh Jae-il struck out, Kang Hyun-woo walked straight to get on the base. Third baseman Moon Sang-chul scored. It was 4-8. It was a tie with just one grand slam, and Bae Jeong-dae immediately produced the scene. It was an 8-8 tie. It was dragged until the seventh inning, but he balanced it by scoring eight runs in the eighth and ninth innings.
KT, which blocked the bottom of the ninth inning without a crisis, succeeded in turning the tables in the 10th inning. Shim Woo-joon, the leadoff hitter, had a bunt hit. Even third baseman Song Sung-moon’s throwing error overlapped to go all the way to the second base. With Kim Min-hyuk’s walk to the third base with one out, Moon Sang-cheol hit a come-from-behind two-run homer. Kang Baek-ho, Kwon Dong-jin, and Oh Jae-il made the bases loaded with walks, and Kang Hyun-woo made a pushy walk to post an RBI. Bae Jeong-dae’s sacrifice fly RBI also made it 12-8.
Park Young-hyun, who defended the mound in the bottom of the 10th inning, got hits from Song Sung-moon and Ko Young-woo after one out, but he finished the game by handling Choi Joo-hwan and Won Sung-joon.
KT, which has achieved five consecutive wins, is ranking seventh with 44 wins, two draws and 46 losses. It is one game shorter than the sixth-ranked SSG Landers.
KT’s momentum is scary from the end of the first half. Starting with the game against the Lotte Giants on June 18-20 (two wins and one loss), the game against the LG Twins on June 21-23, the game against the SSG on June 25-37, the game against the Samsung Lions on July 28-30 (two wins and one draw), and the game against the Hanwha Eagles on July 2-4, the rest period for the All-Star team is set to take place.
Since then, KT has recorded one win and one loss in its showdown with the Doosan Bears, which was its first showdown in the second half of the year. After winning two away games against Lotte, KT moved to Gocheok and successfully swept the game against Kiwoom.
KT had a tough time last season due to injuries sustained by key players in the early stages of the season. It fell to the bottom of the winning-loss margin of -14. However, as the starting team regained stability, it ranked second in the winning-loss margin of +17. The Wizards are showing an unusual trend this season as well. Attention is focusing on whether KT will be able to display magic once again.
