The 79th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship and the weekend league King Wangjung match (co-hosted by the Chosun Ilbo, Sports Chosun, and Korea Baseball Softball Association) held at Mokdong Stadium in Seoul on the 12th.
Jeonju High School was dragged 1-0 to Cheongdam High School until the middle of the game. Lee Ho-min, who took the mound as a starting pitcher, pitched one run to ace Jung Woo-joo in the fourth inning with two outs with a maximum speed of 143km and a change-up of his main weapon.
Jung Woo-joo, who took the mound as the second pitcher at Chungam High School in his first appearance in Cheongryonggi on the 7th, came down from the mound after filling 105 pitches with two outs in the eighth inning with a fastball of more than 150 kilometers. With Jung Woo-ju's good pitching, Jeon High School defeated Chungam High School and advanced to the round of 16.
Lee Ho-min, who took the mound as a starting pitcher for Cheongju High School in the round of 16 instead of Jung Woo-joo, who had 105 pitches and four days of compulsory rest, pitched 3.1 scoreless innings. Jeonju High School, whose batting line exploded on the day, had 11 hits and advanced to the quarterfinals with a cold win in the 13-05th inning.

Jung Woo-joo, who took the mound as if he knew the coach's intention not to allow additional runs, threw the ball confidently in the match against Cheongdam High School's Jung Min-gyu.
Jung Woo-joo, who preempted the ball count in favor with a fastball approaching 150 kilometers away, threw sliders and curves to the lower side of the borderline in succession to secure strikeouts. The referee's declaration is ball, ball. Jung Woo-joo, who unfortunately missed the strikeout call, focused on the batter and the game again with a smile.
Jung Woo-ju's last ball was a fastball. The 150km fastball he confidently put in with his catcher's mitt was a strike. Jung Woo-joo, who handled the batter with his most confident fastball, roared.
Jung Woo-joo, who was not allowing a run on the mound, shone at the plate. While the changed pitcher Cheongdam High School Lim Joon-young was shaken in the sixth inning, Jeon High School created a chance to second and third base with no outs and tied the score with Park Han-yeol's sacrifice fly. Jung Woo-joo, who entered the batter's box with one out, had a hit to the right and brought the third baseman home.
Jung Woo-joo, who pitched 4.2 innings with one hit and two walks, seven strikeouts, and no run, came down laughing from the mound after catching one out in the ninth inning. Jeonju High School, which won 3-1 with Lee Ho-min and Jung Woo-joo's salty water throws, was the first to win a ticket to the semifinals of the Cheongryonggi.
