“Every player did their best to end the losing streak.”
The Doosan Bears won 9-6 against the Hanwha Eagles in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League on Wednesday at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.
Doosan snapped a three-game losing streak. They are in fourth place with 38 wins, two draws, and 30 losses. Hanwha is in seventh place with 29 wins, two draws, and 35 losses.
Doosan took the lead early in the game. In the bottom of the second inning, Kang Seung-ho and Jeon Min-jae led off with doubles, and Park Jun-young followed with an infield single to put runners on first and third. Cho Sung-yueng followed with an RBI triple and Yang Yang-ji added an RBI single to score three more runs.
In the bottom of the third inning, Doosan made it 4-0 with Park Jun-young’s RBI double with runners on first and second. Cho followed with a sacrifice fly to center field to extend the lead to six runs. In the fifth inning, back-to-back RBI singles by Jeon Min-jae and Park Jun-young scored two more runs to make it 8-0.
Han Hwa scored three runs in the top of the sixth to cut into the lead, but Cho sprinted home on a throwing error by first baseman Kim Tae-yeon in the bottom of the inning to secure the win. In the top of the ninth, Lee Kyo-hoon gave up three runs to make it a three-run game, and new closer Kim Taek-yeon came in to close out the game.
“All the players did their best to end the losing streak, and I would like to especially praise the bottom of the order today,” said Lee Seung-yeop through the club. “In the second inning, the No. 6 through No. 9 batting order scored four consecutive hits to take the 카지노 lead, and in the third inning, when we needed more runs, the No. 6 through No. 9 batting order combined for two runs. Kang Seung-ho and Park Joon-young got the start, and they played their roles perfectly in the offense.”
Doosan starter Choi Won-jun earned his fourth win of the season, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three in 5⅔ innings. He was followed by Lee Young-ha (1 1/3 innings), Jung Cheol-won (1 inning), Lee Kyo-hoon (3 runs in 1 1/3 innings), Kim Myung-shin (1 inning), and Kim Taek-yeon (1 inning).
“We scored a lot of runs early in the game, and our starting pitcher Choi Won-jun was throwing the ball with a light heart. Lee Young-ha, who saved the day in the sixth inning, and Jeong Chul-won, who pitched the eighth inning, also pitched well.” “Kim Taek-yeon was probably under pressure, but he finished the game as expected,” said Lee.
“It could have been a long losing streak, but we were able to win thanks to the fans’ enthusiastic support from the very beginning. We are always grateful to them.”
Meanwhile, Doosan will face the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Thursday. Raul Alcatara will start for Doosan.
