Hanwha Eagles came out of a three-game losing streak by defeating the second-place LG Twins in the bottom of the eighth inning with a reversal.
Hanwha was dragged from the beginning with three officially recorded errors in the home game against LG at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 14th, but succeeded in turning the tables with Chae Eun-sung's equalizer and opponent wild pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning and won 9-5.
From the beginning of the first inning, he scored by mistake. Shin Min-jae's triple made a throwing error, and Shin Min-jae ran home and was safe. In the top of the second inning, third baseman Moon Hyun-bin tried to throw too leisurely to the first base when Park Dong-won grounded out in front of the third base with one out, but the ball was thrown too high and went into the dugout, giving the second baseman Kim Hyun-soo homered and made it 0-2. Park Hae-min then hit Moon Dong-ju's 155km fastball and shot a two-run shot to push it to 0-4.
Fortunately, he blocked until the fifth inning without additional runs after Moon Dong-ja.
Hanwha's batters scored two runs against LG starter Elijah Hernandez with Chae Eun-sung's solo shot in the bottom of the second and Peraza's timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning, but failed to hit the mark properly with nine strikeouts.
In the top of the seventh inning, left fielder Kim In-hwan ran to Moon Bo-kyung's high-floating ball, but he failed to catch it right in front of him, giving up one point and seemed to have made a fatal additional run. 2-5 3-point difference.

Although Hanwha's pursuit ended like this, Hanwha succeeded in turning the tables in the bottom of the eighth inning after preventing the crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases in the top of the eighth inning. After leading Moon Hyun-bin drew a walk from the changed pitcher Lee Ji-gang, Kim Tae-yeon hit a double to the right-center to score one point and chase it by 4-5, one point. The pitcher is replaced by Kim Young-joon again.
However, Hanwha's wave offensive continued. Noh Si-hwan walked, and Chae Eun-sung took a bunt position and then switched to a strong ball to make a right-handed hit to tie the score at 5-5.
At this time, when second baseman Kim Tae-yeon turned to third base, the third base running coach blocked him, so first baseman Noh Si-hwan could not see it and jumped to third base, almost overlapping two runners on third base. However, LG defenders did not see it and thought Kim Tae-yeon would have entered the home, so he played a relay toward second base, not home, and Kim Tae-yeon, who confirmed it, ran home again and scored.
Soon after, Lee Won-seok, Jang Jin-hyuk and Lee Do-yoon's hits broke out in succession, and they scored three more runs to lead 9-5, and Park Sang-won finished the game in the top of the ninth inning to win a dramatic come-from-behind victory.
Han Seung-hyuk, who stopped at the bottom of the eighth inning, became the winning pitcher.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said after the game "Starting pitcher Moon Dong-ju pitched well for five innings, followed by bullpens that blocked the opponent's line."In the eighth inning of the attack, which was trailing by two points, Kim Tae-yeon's RBI double and Chae Eun-sung's RBI timely hit even made it a tie, and Lee Won-seok, Jang Jin-hyuk, and Lee Do-yoon made a six-run big inning with concentrated plays, including three consecutive hitters and one RBI timely hit."," he praised his concentration in the eighth inning.
Coach Kim said, `I want to praise all the players who did their best until the end to break the losing streak.'
