'You don't have to worry about whether you're going to be on the right side. The veteran's aim is to turn the game around with one shot...'The highest price in Jamsil Stadium'

As expected, there was no need to worry about Yang Eui-ji. Yang Eui-ji, who had a batting average of one home run and two RBIs in his last 10 games, seemed to have lost his batting sense. He quickly reversed the atmosphere he was dragged into at the beginning of the game with a home run, leading Doosan to victory.

The game between the Doosan Bears and the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 7th. Yang Eui-ji, who started as the fourth designated hitter, reversed the atmosphere of being dragged to a decisive shot.

No hits in five at-bats the day before. Yang Eui-ji, who had no hits in seven at-bats in three games in August, hit LG starter Ence's second fastball with two outs and third base in the first inning when he was trailing 1-0, but failed to take advantage of the chance to tie the game as he grounded out to shortstop.

Unfortunately, Yang Eui-ji, who finished his first at-bat with a ground ball, did not miss his second chance. Starting with leadoff hitter Lee Yoo-chan's double and Kim Jae-ho's infield hit, Doosan created a chance to get first and third bases with one out. After that, Jared, the third batter, struck out, and a scene similar to the first inning seemed to be produced.

Yang Eui-ji

Yang Eui-ji, who took the batter's box for the second time, focused on the game with LG starter N.S. Yang Eui-ji, who watched the 150km fastball that came in high on the first pitch, turned the bat vigorously as if he was waiting when the 138km cutter entered the strike zone on the second pitch.

The ball that was properly shot at the swing spot flew quickly over the left fence at the moment it hit. Immediately after the hit, Yang Eui-ji held the bat for a while and was hit enough to watch the home run ball, indicating that it was a home run.

Yang Eui-ji, who turned the game around with one shot, turned the base vigorously. Lee Yoo-chan and Kim Jae-ho, who were waiting for home run hitters at home, shared a high-five with Yang Eui-ji.

Yang Eui-ji, who confidently entered the dugout with a thrilling come-from-behind three-run shot, approached hitting coach Lee Young-soo and shared a hot hug.

Doosan starter Balazovic, who started by allowing a run in the first inning, quickly regained stability after Yang Eui-ji's reversal in the third inning. Balazovic, who was in charge of the mound without losing a point until the fifth inning, came down from the mound with one out count left until the quality start.

Starting Balazovic

The sixth inning with a 4-1 lead. With the bases loaded with two outs, when starter Balazovic allowed Oh Ji-hwan to walk, manager Lee Seung-yeop made a quick pitcher change. Left-hander Lee Byung-hun, who took the mound following Balazovic, did not allow additional runs by handling left-handed batter Kim Hyun-soo on a fly ball.

Doosan had a chance to load the bases with no outs in the seventh inning. Kim Jae-ho's pushy walk and Jared's two-run timely hit succeeded in running away. Doosan, which won, succeeded in closely chasing LG, which fell to third place, by one game.
