"I'm doubly happy to end the first half of the game in a good mood as I was lucky to be a winning pitcher."
Professional baseball KIA Tigers pitcher Hwang Dong-ha set the stage for a come-from-behind victory by performing a scoreless pitch.
Hwang Dong-ha was the third pitcher after one out in the sixth inning when he was trailing 2-3 in an away game against the Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 4th, and held three scoreless ⅔. He gave up one walk and struck out three.
Hwang Dong-ha, who led Kang Min-ho and David McKinnon to a straight hit to the third base and a fly to center field in the sixth inning, struck out Park Byung-ho and Jeon Byung-woo in the seventh inning in a row and induced Anju-hyung to ground out to first base.
As Hwang continued his scoreless streak, batters started to gain strength. KIA balanced 3-3 with Na Sung-bum's hit to center field, followed by Choi Hyung-woo's double to right. Hwang tied Lee Jae-hyun (foul fly at first base), Kim Ji-chan (ground ball at second base), and Kim Heon-gon (float ball at second base) in the eighth inning.
When the score was 3-3 with runners on first and second bases with two outs in the ninth inning, KIA succeeded in turning the tables 5-3, as Park Jung-woo called in all the runners with a double over the height of the right field. And Hong Jong-pyo's timely hit and Socrates Brito's two-run arch over the right-center field led the team to a five-run deficit.
Hwang Dong-ha, who met the requirement as a winning pitcher, grounded out to the first base and flew out to the left field, respectively, in the ninth inning with a five-run lead over the team. With two outs and no runners on the ground, he gave up a walk to pinch hitter Kim Jae-hyuk. Soon after, he secured pinch hitter Yoon Jeong-bin with a strikeout to end the game. KIA beat Samsung 8-3 to sweep three consecutive games during the week.
After the game, Hwang said, "I prepared according to my routine as a starting pitcher when I moved up to the bullpen pitcher. I had enough rest and strength due to the recent rainy season." "I had good pitching balance and breaking ball control today, so I trusted the catcher's lead to play the game. I believed that if I didn't give extra points, the fielders would give me points." 룸알바
"Although the All-Star break period is not long, we will do our best to prepare well and contribute to the team in the second half," he said. "Thank you so much for coming to the ballpark and cheering for us despite the away game, and we will repay you with really good results this season."
Manager Lee Bum-ho praised Hwang Dong-ha, saying, "Hwang Dong-ha perfectly blocked him with a perfect pitch. Without Hwang Dong-ha's good pitching, I would not have been able to guarantee victory in today's game."
