"Shocking 6 Runs" He was aiming for 4 gold medals, but he might end up winning no gold at this rate?

NC Dinos Kyle Hart collapsed by allowing the most earned runs this season. Hart started the game against SSG Landers at Changwon NC Park on the 25th and became a losing pitcher with five hits (two homers) in six innings, 10 strikeouts, one walk, two walks and six runs.
NC has already been confirmed to be eliminated from the postseason. Hart, who recently skipped the mound due to hamstring pain, played against SSG on the same day because of the meaning of a clean regular season finish, but his personal title is at stake.
Hearts had the pace to aim for up to four gold medals this season. He has maintained the top spot in the ERA, multiple wins, winning percentage, and strikeouts, or has been ranked at the top. A four-time pitcher can challenge himself as an MVP candidate. It is a four-time champion who has never been a foreign pitcher.
However, he suffered an unexpected blow in the match against SSG. In the top of the second inning, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, he allowed a three-run home run to the eighth batter Oh Tae-gon, giving up the first run. A 147-kilometer two-seam fastball was attacked.
The home run was even more painful because he allowed a home run to a lower-ranked hitter and there were two runners. But Hearts didn't collapse and continued to pitch.

With one out and runners on the first and second bases, Hart faced off Ha Jae-hoon, the fifth batter, and was hit with a three-run homer due to a 147-km drive in the 1B1S. Shortly after the home run, Hearts had a despondent smile. The three and six points were different in weight. Even after his second home run, he went down the mound with two more outs and the inning, but too much was thrown away.
With 10 strikeouts, the strikeout category is back in the lead. Enmanuel de Heysus (Kium), who was ranked first, was pushed to second place, and Hearts regained the top spot. However, in the aftermath of 6 runs, the ERA was pushed to second place from 2.44 to 2.69. James Nail (KIA) of 2.53 topped the list with his father-in-law.

Still 13 wins of the season while failing to win. Won Tae-in (Samsung), the No. 1 player,'s 15 wins have virtually become difficult to catch up with due to the remaining game schedule. He was able to aim for up to four gold medals, but he was on the verge of becoming a one-time champion or an uncrowned king. This is because Heyesus still has the possibility of taking the mound once more of the remaining games.
Hearts can also take the mound once more in the rotation, but if the results are not good even in the last appearance, they can be further away from the individual title. Will the last twist be possible.
