Hanwha halted KT’s five-game winning streak.
Hanwha won its 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League home game against KT 11-6 at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on April 18.
The win halted the momentum of KT, which had stormed to a 19-4 record and an 8-for-10 (.826) winning percentage in the second half. Hanwha continued its dominance over KT this year with a 5-3 win, 3-1 loss, and a tie.
The bats exploded for 16 hits and 11 runs as starter Moon Dong-ju earned his eighth win of the season, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits (one home run) with three walks and two strikeouts in five innings.
In the fourth inning, Roh Si-hwan’s game-winning two-run double was followed by Chae Eun-sung’s wedge three-run homer to cap a six-run big inning. Acclimatized foreign hitter Nick Williams also exploded for three hits for the second straight game, extending his hitting streak to seven games. Kim Tae-yeon and Jang Jin-hyuk followed suit with three-hit blasts.
After the game, Hanwha head coach Choi Won-ho said, “Today’s game was dominated by our bats. Williams has been hitting well, Kim Tae-yeon had three hits and four RBIs, and Jang Jin-hyuk also had three hits. Chae Eun-sung’s home run gave us a chance to win the game while the opponent was still chasing,” he said.
“I would also like to congratulate Moon Dong-ju, who pitched five innings as a starter and earned his eighth win,” Choi added.
Hanwha will start left-hander Ricardo Sanchez against KT on the 19th to try to extend their winning streak. For KT, right-hander Yoo Byung-seong will start. 카지노사이트
