The 'one shot' that turned the tide in the 8th inning It was a come-from-behind two-run shot that overturned a narrow deficit.
LG Twins catcher Park Dong-won sealed the team's victory with his first home run in fall baseball. Park, batting seventh in the lineup for the second game of the 2023 KBO Korean Series (best-of-five) against the KT Wiz at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday, hit a thrilling two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning with his team trailing 3-4. The Elsie won 5-4 behind a solo home run by Oh Ji-hwan and a two-run shot by Park Dong-won.
It was a tough outing for Elgee, as starting pitcher Choi Won-tae did not last more than one inning, giving up four runs. The bullpen was called upon early, as manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's plan to start the game was broken. Austin Dean's RBI single in the bottom of the third inning made it a one-run game, followed by Oh Ji-hwan's solo home run in the bottom of the sixth. 카지노사이트가이드
Elsie's comeback began in the bottom of the seventh. Park Hae-min drew a two-out walk from Katie reliever Son Dong-hyun and came home on a double by Kim Hyun-soo to cut the deficit to 3-4. Chasing a one-run lead, Katie hurriedly brought in Young-hyun Park.
In the bottom of the eighth, Park stepped to the plate with runners on first and second after leadoff hitter Oh Ji-hwan drew a walk. He then pulled a 124-kilometer-per-hour changeup from Young-hyun Park in the center of the strike zone over the left field wall. It was Park's first home run of the Korean Series and the game-winning hit that turned the tide of the game. Young-hyun Park came off the mound after Park's home run. Park finished the day 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs.
"The bullpen did their job and set the stage for the victory, and the batting lineup changed the course of the game with Oh Ji-hwan's solo home run," Elgie manager Yeom Kyung-yeop told reporters after the game. "Park Dong-won had a great game, hitting a multi-homer game when it mattered most." "When I came to bat, I saw third base. I swung for the fences to help the team, and I thought I hit it well," he said, adding, "It was very exciting."
In addition to Choi, Elsie used a total of seven bullpen arms in Game 2. Park Dong-won led the way in the bullpen, silencing the Katie bats like a bullpen master. Park made the most of each pitcher's strengths. "Each pitcher throws different pitches after the fastball, so it was good to choose different pitches and I think I was able to operate comfortably," he explained.
