"I think you're the most disappointed."

Kim Bum-soo (29) of the Hanwha Eagles took the mound in the top of the sixth inning against the Kiwoom Heroes at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 9th.

Kim Bum-soo, who took the mound at the top of the sixth inning with no outs and runners on second base with a 4-3 lead, allowed a two-run home run to his first batter, Lim Byung-wook. After that, he played a game with Lee Ju-hyung to the 7th pitch, and eventually allowed a walk.
