NC Dinos coach Kang In-kwon's expression was calm when he met with reporters. Nightmarish 11 consecutive losses, a situation where the atmosphere is subdued. It's been a long time since the head of the team, Kang, was burned to the ground. However, coach Kang tried to create a bright atmosphere by actively continuing the conversation. It was a scene where I could fully read the urgency of not being able to see a way out if even myself, the last bastion of the team, collapsed.
Director Kang finally regained 'real smile'
NC beat Hanwha Eagles 8-2 at Cheongju Stadium on the 21st. Kim Hyung-joon drew three consecutive at-bats arches following a solo shot in the top of the fifth inning, a three-run shot in the top of the sixth inning, and a solo shot in the top of the eighth inning, taking charge of five RBIs, playing the role of the victory. Starting pitcher Lee Yong-joon won his first game of the season by pitching clean throws with two hits and one walk (one out) in five innings. NC, which suffered a two-to-three, ninth-inning walk-off loss to Hanwha the previous day and lost 11 consecutive games and the lowest, succeeded in breaking the chain of consecutive losses with the victory. 50 wins, two draws and 62 losses in the season.
Coach Kang said after the game, "All the members of the team had a lot of trouble during the losing streak. I think the fans who cheered for us must have been heartbroken. Since I lost back-to-back games today, I will show better performances in the future"It was only at last that he revealed his inner feelings. He then thanked the fans for staying until the end in the changeable weather, cheering for the players, and singing the cheer song.
