Kim Hyun-soo’s home run for two days in a row… LG, KT win 9-1 in professional baseball

(Suwon = Yonhap News) Reporter Im Soon-hyeon = The LG Twins, a professional baseball player, blasphemed against the defeat they suffered from kt wiz the day before with Kim Hyun-soo’s performance of hitting a home run for two days in a row.

LG defeated KT 9-1 in the 2022 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League away match held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 18th.

At the beginning of the game, the game was decided by defensive focus.

LG took the lead in the match by scoring three points first in the first inning of kt’s chaos.

Following the walk of lead hitter Hong Chang-gi in the first inning, Hae-min Park went on base due to a mistake by first baseman Byeong-ho Park, and LG took chances at first and second bases safely.

In order to treat Park Hae-min’s ordinary first-base ground ball as Byeong-ho Park, he made an error when the ball hit the inside of the glove and bounced off.

Then, when Kim Hyun-soo, who took a lead solo in the game the day before, appeared at the plate, strange tension circulated in the arena.

Kim Hyun-soo hit the first three-run home run by pulling a high-profile fastball straight into the right pole after a match with kt starter Eom Sang-baek going up to the 7th pitch.

KT immediately caught up to one point with Park Byeong-ho’s deep outfield sacrifice fly at the end of the first inning, but after that, it was blocked by LG pitchers such as Kim Yu-sik and Lee Woo-chan, and the gap could no longer be narrowed.

LG, too, was unable to score additional points in Eom Sang-baek’s strong pitch, but again got a chance to score with an opponent’s mistake in the 5th.

After Park Hae-min went on base due to a second-base error and stole second base, Chae Eun-seong hit a just-time hit between second and shortstop and LG ran 4-1.

LG also added one point in the 7th inning, as leading batter Oh Ji-hwan advanced to second base with a heavy hit and stolen base, and then Moon Bo-kyung threw a timely hit that fell in front of left fielder, adding one point.

LG, who scored 4 more points in the 8th and 9th innings, made up for the 3–4 loss they had suffered the day before by tying up the KT line after the first inning.

LG relief pitcher Woo-Chan Lee, who started after two runs in the 4th and blocked 1⅓ innings without a score, took the third win of the season.

KT starter Sangbaek Eom played hard with 3 hits, 6 strikeouts and 4 runs (2 runs) in 4⅔ innings, but collapsed due to a defensive error and took his second defeat (3 wins) of the season.
