Park Byung-ho started as the seventh designated hitter against the KIA Tigers at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 11th, and played an active role with three hits, two homers and three RBIs in five at-bats, including a finishing home run in the top of the 11th inning when the game was 4-4 tight.
In the midst of Park Byung-ho's hard hit, who scored a multi-homer in 739 days after the match against Changwon NC on August 3, 2022, Samsung won 5-4, breaking the six-game losing streak against KIA that has continued since the match against Daegu on July 2.
Samsung, which suffered a walk-off come-from-behind loss in the bottom of the ninth inning against KIA in Gwangju on the 9th, is also on alert to maintain its third place. I had to go to Daegu to win and meet KT Wiz on the rise.
However, he got off to a shaky start, allowing three runs from the first inning.
On the mound is Eric Lauer, the new left-hander of Kia who has 36 wins in the Major League.
From the second inning, Samsung started attacking Lauer. There was Park Byung-ho at the forefront.
Kang Min-ho's solo shot in the second inning was a signal. With one out, Park Byung-ho made it 2-3 with a timely double that separates the right-center, made by Lee Jae-hyun with a walk and a stolen base. With two outs and a third base, Park Byung-ho homered and tied the game 3-3.
The 3-3 tie was broken in the top of the fourth inning by Park Byung-ho. After one out, he pulled Lauer's 134-kilometer cutter and hit a 120-meter-long solo home run that far exceeded the left-center fence. Park Byung-ho hit 10 home runs for the 11th consecutive 12th season.

Former major leaguer Park Byung-ho made a strong impression from his first meeting with two hits and two RBIs in two at-bats, hitting a timely double and a come-from-behind solo home run only against KIA's new foreigner Eric Lauer.
Park Byung-ho asked Kang Min-ho, who hit a home run after the ninth pitch in the second inning, about Lauer's ball pattern, and put the unfamiliar pitcher's trajectory in his head to bat. It was the secret to producing two good pitches.
In addition, in order to compensate for the recent delay in timing, he showed that he was not pushed back in the timing fight with a quick swing after the toe tap. a national champion who represented the Republic of Korea. It was a moving result of the constant efforts to recognize and change the present, not just the splendid past.

As for his hard hitting against the 36-win pitcher in the big league, Park Byung-ho said, `I only saw Lauer on the video before the game, and I thought he was a good pitcher. Maybe because it was my first game, I had a real pitch, and I think I was able to make a hit and a home run because I didn't miss it"I don't think I did my part when the team was doing well, so I want to help the team win more in the future."," he said emphatically.
Park Byung-ho will move to Daegu from the 13th and play three consecutive games against his former team KT Wiz. It is also worth watching the competition between Oh Jae-il, his friend who was the counterpart of the competition, and his home run pride of Dalgubeol. I think the batting order of No.7 will go up quite a bit.
