Chae Eun-sung started as the first baseman and fifth batter in an away game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 8th.
Chae Eun-sung, who took the batter's box in the top of the sixth inning against 3-3, hit a low changeup by Samsung starter Won Tae-in to hit it over the left fence. Chae Eun-sung's 15th home run of the season.
It didn't take long for the 16th home run to hit. When Samsung right-hander Lee Seung-hyun's slider came in somewhat high, he hit it as it was and crossed the left fence.
Chae Eun-sung's consecutive homeruns were his fourth in his career.
My last consecutive homer was a week ago. He hit a three-run home run in the top of the first inning and a two-run home run in the top of the third inning against Suwon KT on the 1st.
Before the game, Chae Eun-sung had a batting average of 257 in 85 games this season. He got off to a somewhat disappointing start with a batting average of 232 and six home runs in 64 games in the first half, but he is hitting hard with a batting average of 326 and eight home runs in 21 games in the second half.
Chae Eun-sung's home run widened the score to 5-3 in the top of the eighth inning.
