The Samsung Lions defended as much as '2nd place'.

Samsung won the away game against the Hanwha Eagles 10-1 at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 11th. Samsung, which came in second place, won for the 74th time (two draws and 57 losses) by winning two consecutive games.

As the third-place LG Twins (68 wins, 2 draws and 62 losses) were held back by the lowest Kiwoom Heroes, the gap between Samsung and LG became 5.5 games. The leading KIA Tigers (80 wins, 2 draws and 50 losses) maintained the magic number 6.

It wasn't easy for Samsung. Samsung starter Connor Seabold suddenly left the mound due to scapular pain while pitching no-hit ball in three ⅓ innings.

Although there were variables for early starters, Lee Seung-hyun (1 scoreless inning), Lee Jae-ik (1 ⅔ scoreless inning), Song Eun-beom (2 scoreless innings), and Yuk Sun-yeop (1 scoreless inning) came up in order to pitch perfectly.

The batting line was on fire. On this day, Samsung made the starting lineup with Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Koo Ja-wook (left fielder), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Lee Sung-kyu (right fielder), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Jeon Byung-woo (third baseman), and Lee Byung-hun (catcher). Koo Ja-wook, the third batter and left fielder, bombed the Hanwha mound with four hits and six RBIs, including two home runs.

Along with Koo Ja-wook's performance, Samsung made 17 hits and lightened the pitcher's shoulders, with Diaz making three hits and Ryu Ji-hyuk and Jeon Byung-woo making two hits.

After the game, Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, `Connor went down early, but the bullpen defended him well with the least number of runs.' `In the batting line, Kim Ji-chan's sensible play and Koo Ja-wook's decisive home run and multi-hit led the team's atmosphere.'

In particular, Samsung led 8-1 until the seventh inning, but added two points to seal the victory by showing concentration in the chance that came in the top of the eighth inning. Coach Park said, `I want to praise all the players who scored points by playing intensively until the second half of the game" he said.

Meanwhile, Samsung announced Denny Reyes as its starting pitcher on the 12th. In Hanwha, Kim Ki-joong will come out.
