Choi Jeong's secret touch, which was aimed only at the moment Yang Eui-ji, his friend of the same age, was caught on the third base.

Yang Eui-ji, who came out as the leadoff hitter in the sixth inning and walked, ran toward third base with all his might when the follow-up hitter Kim Jae-hwan had a short hit. While Yang Eui-ji, who settled on the third base, was breathing heavily, third baseman Choi Jeong's glove, which came quietly, was close to Yang Eui-ji's hip.

Yang Eui-ji, who only recognized Choi Jeong's glove tag after high-fiving with coach Goto, did not take his foot off the base until the end. Yang Eui-ji, who stepped off the base only after the time signal of the third base trial came out, showed his friendliness by tapping Choi Jeong-ui's buttocks.

On the surface, it was a scene where two friends of the same age could seem to be playing a joke, but it was the play of the two players who did not forget the basics of baseball and focused until the end. A slow runner must not take his foot off the base until the referee's declaration is made. On the contrary, the fielder should concentrate because if he tags the opponent the moment he takes his foot off the base, he can raise the out count.

Play by Yang Eui-ji and Choi Jeong-ui, who were faithful to the basics

Yang Eui-ji and Choi Jeong, who had not taken their feet from the base to the chisel after playing all the way from first base to third base, are veterans who tried to tag if the runner made a mistake, but they did not forget the basics of baseball and played until the end.

The game between the Doosan Bears and SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium on the 30th. The two teams, which exchanged one win each of the previous two games, did their best for the Winning Series.

SSG first scored the first point at the beginning of the game. In the second inning, Park Sung-han, with one out, reached base first while opposing catcher Kim Ki-hyun spilled the ball backward in a strike-out situation. Kim Min-sik's hit later led to one out and runners on first and third bases. During Park Ji-hwan's sacrifice fly, third baseman Park Sung-han scored the first point by stepping home after tag-up.

Doosan Yang Eui-ji, the leadoff hitter in the sixth inning, who was trailing 1-0, advanced to third base when Kim Jae-hwan hit to the right after a walk on base, creating a chance to score on the first and third bases with no outs. As soon as Yang Seok-hwan's hit was caught by SSG center fielder Jihoon Choi's defense, Yang Eui-ji stepped home after the tag-up and made the game the starting point.

SSG turned the game upside down in the eighth inning when SSG Park Ji-hwan's double and Chung Hyun-seung's timely hit came out. In the ninth inning, Lee Ji-young's run-off RBI timely hit came out, and SSG won 3-1.
