Park Sung-han did it. Park Sung-han hit a come-from-behind triple at the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on second and third in the fourth Group B match of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 against the Dominican Republic at Taipei Tianmu Stadium in Taiwan on the 16th (Korea time). South Korea followed by a lucky big inning in the bottom of the sixth inning, when it was trailing 0-6 after being perfect until the fourth inning and scoreless until the fifth inning by starting pitcher Franklin Kilome, and Park Sung-han's hit turned the game around and added two more runs to create a 9-6 theater win.
Park Sung-han came from behind after the game saying, `I didn't give up and all the players came together and turned the tables. He came to me at an important moment and made good use of the chance, so I think he won a thrilling victory today." As for the at-bat at the time of the final hit "The breaking ball came right after seeing the first fastball. The fastball was very good and fast. "The focus hit the fastball. When I saw the breaking ball in a row, I got used to it. When the result came out, I made good contact because I was used to it." Then " (after landing on third base) 'I did it' I thought so. That's the only thought I had."The batting flew away, and inside 'Wow! I did this. I got goosebumps. There was a shudder all over the body." At the same time, I wanted to make " (the ceremony) big. I'm not sure if it's grown. I was so happy that such a ceremony came out."
