by admin Uncategorized

The KIA Tigers succeeded in avenging their sins with the Ace.

KIA won 2-0 with ace Sean Anderson’s scoreless pitching and Lee Woo-sung’s two RBI doubles in the match against Hanwha Eagles in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 12th.

Avenging the loss the previous day, they recorded 1 win and 1 loss in the series.

The confrontation between Hanwha Moon Dong-ju and Anderson, who threw a light speed ball, was worth seeing.

Moon Dong-ju struck out Chan-ho Park in the first inning by throwing a ball with a KBO-accredited speed of 160.1 km. He became the first Korean pitcher to break 160 km in the KBO. Anderson also blocked the Hanwha batting line with a strong pitch. 안전놀이터

Byun Woo-hyeok hit second base grounder and Kim Ho-ryeong hit catcher’s fly ball, but Lee Woo-seong hit Moon Dong-joo’s high-speed slider and hit a double through the middle right. Two runners homered to take a 2-0 lead.

In the first inning, Hanwha Noh Soo-gwang and Jung Eun-won hit consecutive hits and got a chance to secure first and second bases, but strikeouts and double hits came out. In the 3rd, he got a hit and a walk after one death, but no follow-up hit.

Anderson showed off his superpowers by not letting a single runner go from the 3rd inning to the 7th inning. He earned his first victory by pitching 7 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts and no run.

In the 8th episode, Jeon Sang-hyun appeared and easily caught 3 out counts. In the ninth, sluggish finisher Jung Hae-young gave up a walk and a hit, but he blocked it with no runs and earned his first save.

Moon Dong-ju pitched 6 innings with 3 hits, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts and 2 runs. On the 4th, he played his part following 5 scoreless innings against Samsung.
