Hanwha avoided a fall in last place, but to go to fall baseball...You have to add detail

The Hanwha Eagles are out of the danger of falling to the bottom. But in order to climb higher, I don't think we should just settle for victory.
Hanwha won 7-0 against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 10th with the performances of Barria, who pitched hard as a starter, and Lee Do-yoon, who swept three RBIs alone. a first win in the second half of the season. If they lost the game, Hanwha was on the verge of losing the ninth place to Kiwoom and falling to the bottom. However, with a complete victory in an important game, he immediately eased his worries about finishing last.
But we should not be content with victory. There were some good parts, but it was because it was a game that showed a lot of disappointment after the victory.
In fact, it was a game that allowed him to win in the early stages against Kiwoom Heysus, the strongest starter in the league. An Chi-hong's hit and Chae Eun-sung's walk in the top of the second inning created a chance for first and second bases with no outs.
However, Kim Tae-yeon swung and missed the first pitch sacrifice bunt sign, making it twisted. He fouled to 2S from 1B1S, and eventually got behind Heysus' ball and struck out swinging.
The atmosphere was bound to flow toward Kiwoom in an instant, and Hanwha had the worst situation of Lee Jae-won's double play.

If there was no score here, the atmosphere in the middle and second half of the game could have been concentrated toward Kiwoom. Still, the sky did not abandon Hanwha. Lee Do-yoon hit Chun Geum's two-run timely hit. In fact, this hit was also missed, but luck fell in front of right fielder Lee Hyung-jong. Lee Hyung-jong fell out while trying to catch a dive, so he was lucky to get two points at once.

Still, there is evidence that Hanwha focused on the game from the beginning. As mentioned above, Kiwoom's selection on the day was difficult to target. He won 10 games in the first half alone. Coach Kim brought up a bold mercenary technique to deploy right-handed hitters from No. 1 to No. 7. In the first inning, the lead Lee Won-seok struck out, but made him throw up to nine pitches. No. 2 Kim Kang-min also struck out but made him throw seven. Peraza also had 24 pitches in the first inning alone.
Heyesus pitched the sixth inning and went down the mound. It was thanks to the increase in the number of pitches in the early stages. And when the bullpen came out in the seventh inning, the Hanwha lineup exploded and the game was unraveled. If Heyesus had thrown until the seventh inning, it would have been difficult to predict how the game would have gone.
