Captain' Koo Ja-wook's shot woke up Lions Park.

The Samsung Lions are playing the first game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 19th.

Samsung's batters were thoroughly tied to Lotte starter Kim Jin-wook on the day. Samsung starter Baek Jung-hyun was replaced by six hits and three runs until the fifth inning and 84 pitching pitches. On the other hand, Kim Jin-wook was holding Samsung batters tightly with just one hit until the bottom of the sixth inning with one out.



However, the captain's shot woke up the discouraged Samsung fans. Samsung's Lee Jae-hyun walked out, followed by Koo Ja-wook pulling a high slider in the middle of Kim Jin-wook's first pitch of 128km and crossing the right fence. The flying distance was 120 meters. It was an incredible hit that hit the right field stands like a bullet.

Samsung followed Cardenas with a double on the left-field line to mark his first hit in professional baseball. However, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Kim Young-woong stepped down with a fly ball to center field and failed to score additional points.

Lions Park recorded its 13th full attendance of the season on the day of the "Samsung Lions YouTube Day". On this day, the Samsung team sold out all 24,000 tickets for the home game against the Lotte Giants. He explained, "We are breaking the record of the largest sales since the opening of Lions Park in 2016."

In particular, it is the fourth record since 2001. The largest number of sales ever was in 2011 (19 times), and it sold out 17 times in 2010 and 2012, respectively.



The Samsung club presented the strongest Samsung cheering towels to 10,000 spectators on a first-come, first-served basis, and the main character of the club's official YouTube channel 'Lions TV'Lipbam couple' took charge of the first pitch and hitters. After the first pitch, the two wowed their fans with a friendly kiss.
