Everything has been twisted from the last boss's shocking second consecutive Blon water source

A home game against the KIA Tigers at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 2nd. Samsung led 4-1 with Connor Seabold's near-perfect pitching and quick attack on opposing starter James Nail. Samsung, which maintained a three-point lead until the end of the seventh inning, seemed to be solidifying its winning atmosphere.
However, after the corner stepped down ahead of the top of the eighth inning, the solid must-win group began to crack. The Samsung bench chose Lim Chang-min as its second pitcher. Lim Chang-min held two outs well and received a hit to right-center by center hitter Choi Hyung-woo. And in the match against Na Sung-bum, he was hit by a two-run home run in the right-center while playing four consecutive fastballs in the 2S advantageous count. In an instant, the gap narrowed by one point.
Fortunately, he finished the eighth inning without any more runs, and Oh Seung-hwan took the mound with a save in the top of the ninth inning. He is currently the best closing pitcher in the history of 'rejuvenation' as he ranks first in the league's saves with 24 saves.

In the end, Samsung, where Lim Chang-min and Oh Seung-hwan collapsed, led the game until overtime, but lost the final score 5-9 in the top of the 10th inning when Kim Jae-yoon collapsed with four runs (three earned runs) in ⅓ innings.
Oh had two consecutive Blon saves. Strangely, however, the two games are woven into a similar picture like deja vu. Oh Seung-hwan took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning, which was a one-run gap against Suwon KT Wiz on June 29, when he recorded a blon save, and after allowing a double to leadoff hitter Hwang Jae-gyun, he allowed a sacrifice bunt with one out and third base. And he allowed a straight walk in the next batter's game. He had a timely two-run hit to Hong Hyun-bin with one out and runners on the first and third bases.

Samsung, which missed the victory in vain, had to settle for one draw and one loss by playing a double header the next day, and the match against KIA also collapsed despite Connor's perfect pitching, adding to the shock.
Samsung, which was closely trailing No. 1 KIA by rising to second place, slipped to third place again. In a situation where he can rise to the lead, he has been twisted by himself as he has repeatedly lost consecutive games.
