Hanwha came from behind to win again 6-5 in the eighth inning against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 23rd. With this victory, Hanwha added a precious victory 11 days after the match against Daejeon LG on the 12th.
In the beginning, it was the atmosphere of the Samsung Lions.
Kang Min-ho's direct double to the fence scored the first run in the first inning with two outs and a runner on second base. In the third inning, Kim Young-woong's 19th two-run homer of the season hit 3-0.
However, at the start of the week, Hanwha players' willingness to escape seven consecutive losses at home was not easy.

Hanwha, which overcame the crisis by striking out and blocking the bases with no outs in the top of the fourth inning, proved the baseball legend of the chance after the crisis in the bottom of the fourth inning. Noh Si-hwan's timely hit and Lee Jae-won's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded with one out succeeded in chasing by 2-3 points with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. In the fifth inning, Jang Jin-hyuk pulled Reyes' high fastball and hit his fourth solo shot of the season like a clothesline, tying the game 3-3. Hanwha succeeded in turning the tables 4-3 in the sixth inning with An Chi-hong's double on the right-field line with one out and runners on the first and second bases.
However, Samsung penetrated Hanwha's defense mistakes and succeeded in turning the tables again.
After taking a chance with a walk by the leading Cadenas in the top of the eighth inning, Kang Min-ho's ground ball toward the third base was defended as Noh Si-hwan stepped down, but he failed to hit the bound and spilled it backward without getting hit. With runners on the second and third bases with one out, Lee Sung-kyu's second base ground ball tied the game, and Yoon Jung-bin's timely hit to turn the tables again to 5-4 .

Daejeon Baseball Stadium, where 11,501 spectators were almost full, fluctuated once more in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Chae Eun-sung's walk and An Chi-hong's right-handed hit made it to the second and third bases with one out. Hwang Young-mook sprinted without giving up to first base in a strikeout not-out, and became safe while the catcher briefly saw third base and threw. With the bases loaded with two outs, Peraza made another turnaround with a two-run timely hit to the right that passed the first baseman's mitts from pitcher Oh Seung-hwan.
