The record also seems impossible to ignore. Park Jong-hoon (SSG Landers) showed his strong side against Kiwoom Heroes with the 138km under throw, and Ahn Woo-jin (Kiwoom Heroes) showed his weakness against SSG with the 158km fireball. Despite the Children’s Day holiday, at Gocheok Sky Dome, where the only match was held during the rain that hit the country in May, SSG defeated Kiwoom for two days in a row and won the winning series with 4 consecutive wins, securing the first place solo system. Kiwoom suffered a losing streak at home and fell into a three-game losing streak.
In an away game메이저놀이터 against Gocheok Kiwoom on the 6th, SSG won a thrilling 2-1, 1-point victory thanks to Park Jong-hoon’s good pitching and Choi Joo-hwan’s 100th home run. With this, SSG swept the Literature Raising Match from the 21st to the 23rd of last month, followed by a winning series until the 2nd consecutive away match, and ran for 5 consecutive victories. Including the Munhak game on September 30 last year, it is six consecutive victories. Last year, SSG also showed an overwhelming advantage over Kiwoom with 11 wins and 5 losses.
It was a fierce pitching battle for two consecutive games. SSG, who won 3-1 with Oh Won-seok’s 7-inning, 1-run reverse pitch the previous day, defeated KBO’s best pitcher, An Woo-jin, with Park Jong-hoon’s brilliantly good pitching on the unders again today.
Park Jong-hoon played a Quality Start Plus (QS+) fight in 7 innings, 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts and 1 run, winning his first win (2 losses) in 5 games of the season, and the 4 got out of a losing streak In addition, against Kiwoom, it has been 4 consecutive wins since the Munhak game on October 3, 2020, and 4 consecutive wins since May 20, 2020 in Gocheok Gyeonggi.
His pitching was well done on the low side, and he was helped by Hobi in the infield and outfield, and scored at the right time. Crisis management was also well done.
Noh Kyung-eun, who came up in the 8th inning following starter Park Jong-hoon, recorded her 7th hold of the season with 1 strikeout and no run in 1 inning. The average ERA is still 0 with a streak of 15 games without an earned run (1 run).

Kiwoom starter Ahn Woo-jin recorded 6 hits (1 home run), 10 strikeouts and 2 runs in 7 innings. In the 6th quality start, the 3rd quality start plus was a good pitch. However, he suffered a second loss (two wins) because he did not receive help from the other line. The average ERA also rose from 0 point range (0.97) to 1 point range (1.23) with 2 runs that day.
In particular, An Woo-jin also failed to establish a proper relationship with Seungri in the SSG match. Even last year, when he became the top pitcher, he played 5 games against SSG, recording 9 earned runs in 32 innings, going 1-3 with an earned run average of 2.53. That means that Kiwoom’s other lineup could not properly score even 3 points even if Ahn Woo-jin came out. On this day, Kiwoom only had 4 hits, with batters 3 through 5, Kim Hye-seong, Edison Russell, and Lee Won-seok each getting 1 hit and Lee Byeong-gyu 1 hit. However, it was disappointing that Russell, who is running first in the scoring position, ended up with a double hit in the 4th inning safely on 1st and 2nd base.
In the fourth inning, he missed the opportunity to get first and second bases safely with a double hit by an outside hitter.
SSG had a chance to get first and second base safely with lead hitters Choi Joo-hwan and Choi Jeong’s consecutive right-handed hits, but Guillermo Heredia retreated with a double hit from the shortstop side, followed by Hanyu-seom with a ground ball to the first baseman.
Subsequently, in the bottom of the 4th inning, Kiwoom took a chance to first and second base safely with Park Chan-hyuk’s walk and Kim Hye-sung’s hit in the middle of the right, but Russell failed to score first as he hit a double stroke in front of the pitcher.
In the top of the 5th inning, which safely passed the crisis, SSG scored 1 point first. Park Seong-han’s double from the right side of the first baseman and Choi Hang’s sacrifice bunt made Oh Tae-gon stop at second base and failed to score again, but at this time, Kim Min-shik at bat, Ahn Woo-jin hit a wild pitch. Lee Ji-young missed the ball as it came too high toward the batter. Seong-Han Park, who was on third base, took advantage of this gap and stepped on the groove.
In the top of the 6th inning, after a run, Choi Joo-hwan hit Ahn Woo-jin’s slider lightly and made a superior one-run home run. It is the 5th gun of the season and the 100th home run in personal career (103rd in KBO career). Against Ujin An, it was the first home run in 1683 days since September 26, 2018.
After one out in the bottom of the 7th inning, Russell hit left-handed and Lee Won-seok hit right, followed by Lim Byung-wook striking out, but Lee Yong-gyu, who started as a pinch hitter, hit the body with a ball to make up 1 point with a timely hit in the middle left by Lee Byeong-gyu in the 2nd bases loaded. did. However, second base runner Lee Won-seok ran home despite the 3rd base base coach’s dissuading, and SSG left fielder Heredia’s accurate home throw put him out, and the chance of a tie or higher was destroyed.
