I forgot my age. A good start. He became the protagonist of an exhilarating come-from-behind victory with a decisive shot in the opening second game.
The second game of the season against NC held on the 2nd at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu. Samsung fell behind 0-6 until the beginning of the 3rd inning as Suarez, the starter they trusted, collapsed in the early stages. A losing game.
However, neither the players nor the bench gave up. 안전놀이터
The bullpen was activated from the 4th inning and the number of wins increased. During the time the Lee Seung-hyun duo earned by 4 scoreless innings, the batters were busy moving.
Koo Ja-wook’s sacrifice fly in the 3rd inning and Lee Seong-gyu and Kim Dong-yeop’s timely hit in the 4th inning steadily caught up with 3 points.
In the 5th inning, trailing by 3-6, 1 out, 1st and 2nd bases. Kang Min-ho, who was in his third at-bat, simply pulled the high fastball of the left-hander Chang-mo Koo from the national team on the third pitch and passed it over the left wall. After the opening game was sold out, the hit shot thrilled the home fans who filled the 20,000 seats. It was also a decisive home run worthy of a veteran. Samsung, which was encouraged by Kang Min-ho’s home run to tie the game, smiled widely as it won 8-6 come-from-behind victory.
“It was a tough game in the beginning, but I thought that I shouldn’t give up in front of many fans who came for two days. The only thing that was strong last year for Koo Chang-mo was that he hit the last game (3 hits in 3 at-bats). I made a swing to hit the center exactly while subtracting, and it led to good results.”
