NC is playing the first game of a three-game weekend series home series against the Lotte Giants at Changwon NC Park on the 26th.
On this day, Park Kun-woo had a painful time after being hit by dunes twice.
The first dune hit the side. Park Kun-woo entered the batter's box with one out and one out with Park Min-woo's hit and Park Si-won's strikeout in the bottom of the first inning. Lotte starter Park Se-woong's third fastball of 146km hit Park Gun-woo's left side.
Park Kun-woo was in pain for a while, sitting down at the batter's box clutching his side. Commentator Kim Tae-kyun felt sorry, saying, `I've been through that a lot when I was active, but I'm really out of breath and can't breathe.'
NC failed to double out and score in the ensuing one-out, first and second base chances as Davison's ball became a fly ball in front of the pitcher.

Park Kun-woo entered the batter's box in the bottom of the third inning with one out and no runners. Park Gun-woo, who had picked out the ball until the end, was hit on the right wrist by Park Se-woong's 146km fastball on the 7th pitch.
It's a fastball, not a breaking ball, and it's the part where the batter is bound to hurt the most. This time, Park Kun-woo literally rolled around and complained of strong pain. Eventually, Park Kun-woo was taken to Cheonga Hospital, the NC team's designated hospital, in an ambulance. Instead of Park Gun-woo, Kim Sung-wook was substituted.
NC's next batter Davison hit a double to get a chance on the second and third bases with one out, and Kim Sung-wook homered and scored the first run when Kwon Hee-dong grounded out to shortstop. As of the beginning of the fifth inning, he still maintains a 1-0 lead.
