In the game between Kiwoom and Doosan at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 3rd, Doosan's Lee Yoo-chan hit the fourth fastball of opposing starter Heyesus in the bottom of the fifth inning with Kiwoom leading 10-0.
Center fielder Lim Byung-wook and right fielder Lee Ju-hyung began running out to catch flying balls. The two players, who focused only on the ball, threw themselves almost at the same time, but the ball escaped between the two players and collided without catching them.
Lim Byung-wook seemed to be in pain lying on the ground as if he were in a big shock, and Lee Joo-hyung quickly got up and moved the ball to the infield.
After confirming that the ball was missing, Lee Yoo-chan gained speed and used his fast feet to run home around third base to score. It was the fourth home run in the KBO league this season and the 98th in his career. Lee Yoo-chan hit his first home run of the season against Heysus in the game against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 23rd of last month, and even hit a ground home run on that day.
What were the conditions of the two players who collided. Fortunately, it was not a major injury. Lee Joo-hyung immediately stood up, and Lim Byung-wook checked the collided left shoulder and continued the game.
Lee Ju-hyung scored three hits, one RBI and three runs from five times at bat in the game, while Lim Byung-wook recorded two hits and one RBI from five times at bat, including a solo shot in the seventh inning. Kiwoom had 23 hits on the day, winning a 15-5 victory.
