The professional baseball NC Dinos succeeded in escaping their losing streak thanks to national team shortstop Kim Joo-won’s final two-run home run.
NC won 5-3 in a visiting game against Kiwoom Heroes in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 21st.
NC, which lost all three games in a row to the KIA Tigers last weekend, escaped its three-game losing streak thanks to Kiwoom. 카지노사이트
The player who took the lead in breaking away from the team’s losing streak was Kim Joo-won.
Kim Joo-won targeted Kiwoom starter Ha Young-min’s 143 km/h fastball in the top of the second inning with the game tied 0-0, with two outs and runners on first base, and went over the right wall.
When the ball came into his favorite low course, he scooped it up without delay, and the batted ball flew 130 meters and landed in the stands.
This is Kim Joo-won’s fourth home run of the season.
In the third inning, with no outs on first base, opposing second baseman Kim Hye-seong’s error on a throw to second base left all runners alive, and after two outs, Kwon Hee-dong hit a timely hit with two RBIs, increasing the score to 4-0.
In the 5th inning, Kiwoom’s leadoff hitter Song Seong-moon reached base with a double, advanced to third base on Ronnie Dawson’s infield grounder, and followed up with one run with Kim Hye-sung’s sacrifice fly.
In the 6th inning, when Byeon Sang-kwon hit a hit in front of left field with one out and runners on first base, NC left fielder Park Han-gyeol made a catching error and the runner on first base came all the way home.
NC scored 1 point with Son Ah-seop’s sacrifice fly in the 9th inning, putting a wedge in the win.
Kiwoom chased down one point with Ko Young-woo’s timely hit in the last attack of the 9th inning, but could not catch up any further.
NC starter Shin Min-hyuk did not have a fast ball, with a maximum speed of 141 km/h, but he achieved his 4th win (3 losses) of the season with 7 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and 2 runs (1 earned run) in 5⅓ innings with speed control and crisis management skills.
