Hanwha won the match against NC 3-2 at Cheongju Stadium on the 20th. In the bottom of the ninth inning, when the score was 2-2 tied, Jonathan Peraza, the leadoff hitter, decided the game with a walk-off shot over the right-center field. With the victory, Hanwha recently won four consecutive games. The season record was 53 wins, 2 draws and 59 losses.
It wasn't an easy match.
The game started 30 minutes later than scheduled because the wet ground was repaired by the pre-match shower. Starter Moon Dong-joo pitched 91 pitches in 6 innings, but the batters could not easily make up for the score given by two solo shots. It was balanced by Noh Si-hwan's tiebreaking solo shot in the bottom of the seventh inning, when he was trailing 1-2, but the game was suspended for about 20 minutes due to rain again in the top of the ninth inning when the closing main phenomenon took the mound. However, Joo Hyun-sang finished the inning without losing a point, and Peraza fired a walk-off gun and wrote a happy ending.
Hanwha's blue uniform, which was specially made for summer, is now becoming the 'Totem of Victory'. He has won as many as 11 games in 13 blue uniforms. In terms of winning percentage, it amounts to 8406.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said after the game, `I'm sorry that Moon Dong-ju threw so well, but I couldn't take care of the victory"I want to praise all the players for doing their best to win the game until the end in a difficult rainy situation. Congratulations to Ferraza, who hit a walk-off home run."
