The eagle’s rise is frightening. The perfect combination of two-hitters swallowed up the Dinos.
The Hanwha Eagles won the sixth game of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League season against the NC Dinos 6-2 at Changwon NC Park.
With the sweep of the three-game series, Hanwha improved to 26 wins, 4 draws, and 37 losses on the season. NC, on the other hand, dropped its third straight game to fall to 35 wins, one draw, and 29 losses.
The home team named Park Min-woo (designated hitter), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), Park Gun-woo (right fielder), Jason Martin (left fielder), Yoon Hyung-joon (first baseman), Chun Jae-hwan (center fielder), Do Tae-hoon (second baseman), Kim Joo-won (shortstop), and Ahn Jung-yeol (catcher) as their starting lineup.
Hanwha countered with Lee Jin-young 메이저사이트 (right fielder), Kim In-hwan (first baseman), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (designated hitter), Moon Hyun-bin (center fielder), Jung Won (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), Kwon Kwang-min (left fielder), and Lee Do-yoon (shortstop).
Hanwha took the lead in the third inning. Kwon Kwang-min led off with a single to left and Lee Do-yoon laid down a sacrifice bunt. Lee Jin-young continued the momentum with an infield single, and Kim In-hwan broke the 0-0 tie with a leadoff double. It was the moment of truth. A replay showed a throwing error by shortstop Kim Joo-won, allowing Kim In-hwan to move to third and Noh Si-hwan to extend the lead with an infield single.
In the sixth inning, Chae Eun-sung led off with a straight bunt and Moon Hyun-bin followed with a sacrifice bunt. Jung Eun-won followed with a three-pitch walk, but Choi Jae-hoon’s single put runners on first and second with Kwon Kwang-min driving in a run. After watching NC starter Taylor Widener throw a first-pitch strike, he took a two-pitch pitch for his second homer of the season, about a month after his first against Lotte in Daejeon on May 18.
NC scored two runs in the eighth inning on a leadoff walk by Park Gun-woo, an RBI triple by Martin and an RBI single to right by Jae-hwan Lee, but the game had already been won.
Hanwha starter Ricardo Sanchez earned his fourth win of the season with five innings of four-hit ball, two walks and three strikeouts. He was hit in the left arm by a hard hit by Park Gun-woo in the third inning, but he stayed on the mound until the fifth inning. He was followed by Yoon Dae-kyung, Jung Woo-ram, Kim Ki-jung, Nam Ji-min, and Joo Hyun-sang. At the plate, Kwon Kwang-min stood out with two hits (one home run) and three RBIs.
On the other hand, NC starter Widener suffered his second loss of the season after giving up six runs (five earned) on six hits (one home run) in six innings with five walks and two strikeouts. Multi-hit games from Seo Ho-cheol and Kim Joo-won highlighted the loss.
