NC finally breaks free from ‘tiger phobia’. It was their eighth straight win against KIA.

The NC Dinos won 7-3 against the Kia Tigers in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on May 25. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak against KIA and improved their record to 2-10. Their season record is now 46 wins, 2 draws, and 46 losses, bringing their winning percentage back to .500. Kia ended its eight-game winning streak. They ended an eight-game winning streak to reach the 60-win mark. Their record is 59 wins, 2 draws and 36 losses for a winning percentage of 0.621.

NC jumped out to an early lead with six runs in the first inning. Starter Kyle Hart picked up his ninth win of the season with a six-inning, two-run quality start. With Min-woo Park out of the starting lineup with a sore throat and body aches, the Park-Siwon-Do Tae-hoon tablesetter combined for three hits and two walks. Kwon Hee-dong, batting fifth, had three hits, including a two-run double in the first and a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the sixth.

After Hart went down, Kim Jae-yeol (⅔ innings), Kim Young-kyu (1⅓ innings), and Lee Yong-chan (1 inning) took over on the mound. Lee Yong-chan earned his 16th save of the season. He came out in the ninth inning and put runners on first and second with no outs.

NC Dinos Starting Lineup

Park Si-won (center field)-Do Tae-hoon (first base)-Park Gun-woo (right field)-Matt Davidson (designated hitter)-Kwon Hee-dong (left field)-Kim Hwi-jip (third base)-Seo Ho-chul (second base)-Kim Hyung-joon (catcher)-Kim Joo-won (shortstop), starter Kyle Hart

“Min-woo Park has a sore throat and body aches. It is unlikely that he will be able to start, but he can be used as a substitute,” said Kang. “We’ve been trying to find the best combination without Park Min-woo. I was worried about the No. 2 batting order, but I thought the center of the order would be a little shaky if I put Kwon Hee-dong in,” he explained.

KIA Tigers Starting lineup

Socrates Brito (center fielder), Lee Chang-jin (left fielder), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Na Sung-beom (designated hitter), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Choi Won-joon (right fielder), Byun Woo-hyuk (first baseman), Kim Tae-gun (catcher), Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Kim Do-hyun (starter)

Choi Hyung-woo will start the game from the bench after being hit by a foul ball the previous day (24th). Manager Lee Bum-ho said, “He was hit by a foul ball yesterday, so it’s a little bad. They said I could go out in the second half. I got hit on the unprotected side. We took him out of the starting lineup because (NC starter) Kyle Hart is a left-handed pitcher. We’re looking at him as an important option after Hart goes down.”

NC bounced back from a two-game sweep at the hands of KIA, scoring 15 runs on 15 hits over two days. Against KIA starter Kim Do-hyun, the team capitalized on three hits and four walks in the first inning alone. They were also able to capitalize on a couple of errors.

The first inning started with a bases-loaded opportunity. After Park Si-won walked, Do Tae-hoon singled to left, and Park Gun-woo walked again, the bases were loaded. Davidson, the No. 4 hitter, drew a walk to load the bases. Kwon Hee-dong followed with an RBI double. Do Tae-hoon and Park Gun-woo followed with RBI singles to make the score 3-0. Kim Hui-jip followed with an RBI single. No outs were recorded until the score was 4-0.

NC added another run on an error by Seo Ho-cheol at the plate. Kia third baseman Kim Do-young spilled the ball in a rundown play, allowing Kwon Hee-dong to 해외 카지노 사이트 cross home safely. Kim Hyung-joon’s grounder to shortstop scored Kim, who was at third base, to make the score 6-0.

After the big first inning, no more runs were scored, and the deficit was cut to 6-2 when Hart gave up a home run to Kim Do-young with two outs in the fifth inning. NC got the run back in the top of the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly to center field by Kwon Hee-dong.

NC starter Hart secured the win with a six-inning, two-run quality start and avenged two previous losses to KIA. Prior to this game, Hart was leading the league with a 2.44 ERA, but in the two games against Kia, he allowed six runs in five innings and four earned runs (April 20) and five runs in five innings (May 29), respectively, bringing his ERA to 8.10 in the two losses.

The second pitcher, Kim Jae-yeol, didn’t last a full inning. However, he made a crucial play in the bottom of the seventh inning, striking out Kim Do-young with runners on first and second. Kim Young-gyu took over on the mound and pitched 1 1/3 innings of two-run ball until the eighth.

Leading 7-4 in the ninth inning, Lee Yong-chan gave up a single to Kim Do-young and a walk to Na Sung-beom, putting the game one home run away from tying the game. From there, Lee retired the next three hitters, Kim Sun-bin, Choi Won-joon, and pinch-hitter Choi Hyung-woo, to complete the save.

After the game, Kang said, “We were able to win today’s game because the players were focused in the first inning and scored multiple runs. Hart did his job as a starter with six innings of two-run ball, setting the stage for the win,” said Kang. “I would like to thank the fans for their support in the hot weather, and we will prepare well for tomorrow’s game and show a good performance,” he added.

Meanwhile, KIA starter Kim Do-hyun picked up the win against Hanwha on the 19th with five innings of two-hit ball, four strikeouts and one unearned run.

He threw 52 pitches in the first inning alone, giving up six runs on six hits, five walks, three strikeouts, and four earned runs in 1 1/3 innings. Choi extended his hitting streak to 18 games.
