"I Can't Live Without KIA" vs. "I'm happy because it's Hanwha" that will resonate in Daejeon

The 'Champion' LG Twins and Doosan Bears will face off for the first time this year for the owner of Jamsil.

In Daejeon, the KIA Tigers and Hanwha Eagles, the two pillars of the early season's box office, will clash.

LG's early steps are heavy due to the weakening of the must-win tie, but with Koo Bon-hyuk, who hit a series of walk-off hits and good-bye home runs last week, it will finish fourth with 8 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses with dynamic offensive baseball

Koo Bon-hyuk hit his first career hit in the 11th inning of extra time against the NC Dinos on the 4th, and beat KT Wiz closer Park Young-hyun on the 6th to set a real record of the 23rd walk-off grand slam.

LG, which was close, won four games and lost two games last week and maintained its mid-range position.

Doosan will prepare for six consecutive games at its home turf in Jamsil this week after a tough week with one win and five losses due to bullpen difficulties.

Doosan`s bullpen is struggling due to poor batting performance, ranking ninth in ERA (5.81), and tying for first in most losses (five losses). The batters failed to get back on track, and thus had a tough game due to a flurry of pitches and hits.

This week's six consecutive games against Hanwha and LG are coming up a bit difficult.

However, LG and Doosan are rivals who must beat each other, so they are expected to have a fiery battle regardless of the current situation.

KIA and Hanwha, which showed off their ticket power by attracting great crowds in Seoul, are about to become firemen in the sold-out procession in Daejeon.

Hanwha took the lead in selling out 10 times, including five at home and five at Jamsil Stadium (2 times) and Gocheok Sky Dome (3 times).

KIA also mobilized a crowd of 6 times, including 3 times at Gwangju's home turf and 3 times at Jamsil Stadium against Doosan.

If the two teams remain in second place (KIA) and fourth place (Hanwha) in three consecutive games during the week and meet in Daejeon on the weekend, Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon, which has a capacity of 12,000 people, will turn into a battlefield for tickets for three days.

There is no disagreement that Hanwha needs to ride "Ryu Hyun-jin Rocket" to fly even more.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who collapsed with nine runs after receiving nine hits, including seven consecutive hits, in four ⅓ innings, against Doosan on the 11th, will challenge for the 99th KBO League victory and the fourth time in 12 years to return to the Korean stage.

Attention is focusing on whether Ryu Hyun-jin will find confidence at the expense of Doosan after escaping from the hard-hit shock.

Another interesting point is the heroic challenge of Kiwoom, which rebounded sharply with seven consecutive wins after the opening four consecutive losses and rose vertically from the bottom to third place.

Kiwoom won five consecutive games with the fire bat, and from the 6th to the 7th, the two games rang Hanwha with a one-point difference, providing both heat and excitement at the same time, raising the morale.

The mound of SSG Landers, the opponent of the three consecutive games during the week, is weak enough to give 42 points in six games last week, so if Kiwoom's bat bursts early, it may continue the atmosphere of winning consecutive games for a longer time.

Kiwoom is also looking for the lead with only one game against the No. 1 NC Dinos.

In addition, the match between NC, which rose to No. 1, and KT, which fell from the favorite to the bottom, is also drawing attention. 스포츠토토
