Ryu Hyun-jin, 9 runs in 4⅓ innings… Most goals conceded in one game
Professional baseball's Kiwoom Heroes went on a five-game winning streak by beating the 'returning Korean monster' Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles).
In the home game against Hanwha in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 5th, Kiwoom beat Ryu Hyun-jin, who suddenly had difficulty with ball control, and achieved an 11-7 comeback win. 파워볼사이트
Kiwoom went on to win 5 games in a row after losing 4 games in a row, laying the foundation for a leap forward to the top rankings.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who was aiming for his first win after returning to the KBO League, pitched well until the 4th inning without allowing any runs, but suffered 7 consecutive hits in the 5th inning and collapsed.
Ryu Hyun-jin became the second losing pitcher of the season with 9 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 9 runs (9 earned runs) in 4⅓ innings.
In addition, he was dishonored for having the most runs and earned runs in a single game in his personal career, the most hits in an inning (8), and the most runs allowed in an inning (9).
Kiwoom fell to 0-1 in the top of the third inning when starting pitcher Ha Young-min received consecutive hits from Choi In-ho and Lee Jin-young.
Ha Young-min gave leadoff hitter Noh Si-hwan a triple to the right of right field in the fourth inning, and then gave up a hit ball to Ahn Chi-hong.
Afterwards, a timely double to Lee Do-yoon and consecutive sacrifice flies to Lee Jae-won and Choi In-ho allowed the score to reach 0-4.
The game turned over in an instant.
Kiwoom attacked Ryu Hyun-jin, whose control suddenly wavered in the bottom of the 5th inning.
Kim Hwi-jip's hit to left-center and Lee Hyeong-jong's straight walk gave the team a chance to hit 1st and 2nd bases with one out and runners on first and second. Kim Jae-hyun, Park Soo-jong, Lee Joo-hyung, Ronnie Dawson, Kim Hye-seong, Choi Joo-hwan, and Kim Hwi-jip exploded with 7 consecutive hits to turn the score around to 7-4.
Kiwoom did not stop bombing even after Ryu Hyun-jin went down.
Against Kim Seo-hyun, who pitched in relief, he scored an additional three points with one hit, two walks, and one error, widening the lead to 10-4.
There was also a crisis.
Kiwoom gave up 3 points in the top of the 7th inning as the bullpen was shaken.
However, Kiwoom broke Hanwha's will to pursue with Kim Hye-seong's timely hit to the right with first and second bases out in the 8th inning.
Lee Joo-hyung, who started as Kiwoom's lead hitter, played well with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, and 2 runs scored.
He continued his keen sense of hitting by hitting 3 or more hits in 3 consecutive games starting before the Samsung Lions on the 2nd, which was his first appearance this season.
He recorded 10 hits in 14 at-bats and a batting average of 0.769 in three games.
