4-2 Samsung Lions lead. KIA Tigers' offense in the top of the ninth inning. a bases loaded with two outs. Park Chan-ho at the batter's box.
A big hit turned the tables. Park Chan-ho is not a home run hitter, but he was able to tie with one hit and turn the tables on long balls. a moment of desperation.
Samsung closer Kim Jae-yoon's first pitch left his hand. Kim Jae-yoon's pitching did not seem normal on the day. Because I was not confident, I had more balls, and that's how the runners piled up.
The first pitch was plain. Park Chan-ho's bat went around like a lightning bolt. a cheerful sound. It was a complete hit. The runners were an all-starter.
Samsung's third baseman Kim Young-woong moved on. It was at least a double if it came inside the foul line. At least a tie, a turnaround could have been possible. The moment that determines the fate of both teams.
It was a foul. Slightly off the foul line. For a moment, silence flowed at Lions Park, which was packed with full spectators. A deep sigh broke out on one side.

I wonder if that's where I'm exhausted. Park Chan-ho pulled Kim Jae-yoon's second slider again, but it was in front of third baseman Kim Young-woong. Such a breathtaking game is over.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man said after the game "I was very surprised (laughs). If it became a pair, it could be reversed. It was dizzying to see the first pitch like that."
Samsung left fielder Kim Heon-gon said, `I was heartbroken' by the ball flying toward him, `I had to start with the ball, whether it was fair or foul. Fortunately, it was a foul. It was a relief"It was a reversal of the situation at the time.
Still, Park Chan-ho has been hitless in two games in Gwangju Prior to his last at-bat on the day, he had multiple hits. If he had even hit this, he would have become a hero. Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `The results of a big game will be determined by the condition on the day. He had no hits in the previous two games, but I think he will rebound today"I was comforted.
