Park Byung-ho of the Samsung Lions tasted it in the final rehearsal ahead of the fall baseball season.

Park Byung-ho started as the fourth designated hitter of the white team at the Blue and White match held at Daegu Lions Park on the 9th.

Park Byung-ho, who got on base with a straight walk in his first at-bat in the second inning, stepped on third base due to Jeon Byung-woo's hit and wild pitch, but was unable to hit home due to the threat of Ahn Ju-hyung's grounder.

Park Byung-ho, who was at bat for the second time after one out in the fourth inning when he was 0-0, kicked up left-hander Lee Seung-min's 120-kilometer breaking ball in 0B1S and hit a large solo shot that fell on the top of the left stands. The thrilling taste he made four days before the playoffs on the 13th.

Park Byung-ho, who moved to Samsung this season and gave his batting power to the team, said ahead of his first fall baseball game at Samsung, `I think we should pay attention to making more accurate and stronger pitches. Every at-bat is really important, and the success of one of the four at-bats alone can bring good results, so I'm going to concentrate on hitting as much as I can."

In the third at-bat with one out and runners on the second and third bases in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 2-0 lead, Park Byung-ho lightly pushed the slider after a full count match with Song Eun-beom to harvest the second RBI with a sacrifice fly caught in front of the right field fence.

After the Sangmu match held at Lions Park two days ago, Park Byung-ho said, `The ball was visible. I think it was okay overall in terms of timing and watching the ball, considering that I took a week off and did it."

Park Byung-ho, who coordinated his great slugging ahead of the big game, is expected to lead Samsung's batting lineup in a reliable manner as a big game solver.
