Hanwha and KT's 's 'sweep relationship' has been liquidated. Hanwha ended its three-game losing streak in the first half. KT failed to make a six-game winning streak.

Hanwha Eagles came from behind to win 13-5 in the final game of the first half against KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 4th. With this victory, Hanwha will be able to escape three consecutive losses and face the All-Star break in a good mood. On the contrary, KT has put a brake on its five-game winning streak.

What's interesting is the sweep relationship between the two teams this season. The two teams were one-sided whenever they met this season. Hanwha swept the first three consecutive games in Daejeon at the end of March. It was time to win seven consecutive games. The second meeting in Suwon in April was KT's sweep. They faced each other again in Suwon in June, when Kim Kyung-moon made his Hanwha debut. With that momentum, Hanwha swept the three consecutive games again. This time, it was KT's turn. It was an opportunity to get back to square one with a one-point victory for the second and third consecutive days. However, Hanwha broke this sweep formula.

It's a short break, but it's the last game ahead of the break anyway. Both teams predicted an all-out war. I had to continue winning and losing consecutively and escape.

It was a close game. KT scored the first run in the first inning, but it was a shame. As soon as the game began, Rojas and Kang Baek-ho had consecutive hits to get the first and third bases with no outs, but Jang Sung-woo's double play only earned one point.

Then, Hanwha balanced immediately in the second inning, saying it was an opportunity after the crisis. Kim Tae-yeon's timely hit was made.

KT made a big inning in the third inning. Hanwha starter Barria looked anxious from the beginning, but he completely collapsed in the third inning. He gave up a walk to lead Oh Yoon-seok and even allowed an RBI double to No. 9 Jung Joon-young. On top of that, catcher Choi Jae-hoon's absurd throwing error came out on the broadcast play and even stepped home.

KT, which gained momentum, completed four runs by adding Oh Jae-il's hit and Bae Jeong-dae's sacrifice fly after Jang Sung-woo hit an RBI infield ground ball on consecutive hits by Rojas and Kang Baek-ho.

However, that was all KT enjoyed. From the bottom of the third inning, it was Hanwha's time. Hanwha went after Peraza's RBI double and An Chi-hong's timely hit, scoring two runs. And the fourth inning was the decisive hit. Hwang Young-mook's timely hit made it 4-5, with one out and runners on first and third bases. No. 2 Jang Jin-hyuk attempted a surprise bunt, and KT second baseman Shin Bon-ki, who entered the first base cover, did not receive the throw and Hwang Young-mook went to third base due to an error. Hwang Young-mook, who saw KT right fielder Jung Joon-young fumble the ball that flowed into the outfield, dug into the home, and Jung Joon-young threw it home in a hurry, but catcher Jang Sung-woo missed the ball and even hitter Jang Jin-hyuk, who came to third base, came home in the meantime. Three errors were added to the bunt hit, and three points were scored at a time. In this scene, the flow of the game completely crossed over to Hanwha.

Hanwha widened the gap to five points in the sixth inning with an opponent's wild pitch and an RBI timely hit by An Chi-hong. In the seventh inning, Hwang Young-mook's RBI single and Peraza's RBI single came out. Daejeon home fans went wild.

The starters from both teams played disappointingly as if they had promised. Hanwha Barria was sluggish with five runs in three innings, and KT Um Sang-baek also failed to endure with three runs in two ⅔ innings. However, it was important for Hanwha that Kim Ki-joong, who came out after Barria, perfectly blocked two innings and set the stage for the reversal. On the contrary, KT was unable to create a close game because each pitcher lost a point.
