LG 6, Lotte 3
W - Bong Jung-geun(1-1), L - Jang Won-joon (0-2)

LG jumped all over Lotte starting pitcher, Jang Won-joon. The battered him to the tunr of 5 runs on 9 hits and 1 walk during his 3 /1/3 innings pitched. Jang was lifted with the bases loaded in the 4th inning. Lotte reliever, Bae Jang-ho, provided little relief last night. The first batter he faced, LG outfielder Ahn Chi-yong, ripped a double to right center to clear the bases. Ahn was thrown out trying to advance to third. The newest Twin, Lee Jin-yeong, continues to be a catalyst for this LG lineup. He finished last night's game 2-3 with 2 runs scored. While Jang had his difficulties, Bong Jung-geun was able to cruise for 7 innings(102 pitches, 63 strikes) of 1-run baseball. Bong allowed 5 hits and 2 walks with 2 K's. The only run off of Bong came on a solo homer by Kim Joo-chan in the 3rd inning. Lotte's Son Ah-seob added another solo homer in the 9th. Lotte DH Hong Seong-heun was 3-4 with 2 doubles, but 0 RBI's or runs scored.




Seoul Heroes 9, Samsung 5
W - Ma Il-yeong(1-1), L - Bae Yong-su(0-1)

I sure am glad I tuned in for batting practice! When does the game start? Oh. Bae Yong-su provided the normal Bae Yong-su mediocre start. He started things off by allowing a solo homer to 3rd baseman Hwang Jae-gyun in the first inning. Then, another solo homer to Kang Jeong-ho in the 3rd. After tossing the ball into right field on a pick off attempt, Bae surrendered another deep fly to Kim Taek-geun. This time it was only a sac fly, but the Heroes tied game at 3. After loading the bases in the 5th inning, Bae surrendered another sac fly to give the Heroes a 4-3 lead. Finally, Doug Clark hit a ball to center field that just landed this morning. Upon reaching the dugout, Clark executed several multi-step handshakes and a chest bump with some of his teammates. It's good to see these guys getting along. Cliff Brumbaugh hit an "Eff you" homer in the 8th inning that took approximately .00003 seconds to go from his bat to over the wall off of Oh Seung-hwan.




Doosan 11, Hanwha 2
W - Kim Sun-woo(2-0), L - Jeong Min-cheol (0-1)

The big story here was the record set by Song Jin-woo, so no one really seems to care that Hanwha got absolutely pummeled. Doosan left fielder Kim Hyeon-soo had a huge night for Doosan. He finished 4-4 with 2 doubles, 1 walk, 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Doosan's Choi Joon-seok clubbed a solo homer in the 3rd inning. Doosan DH Matt Watson also got in on the action. Watson hit a 2-run bomb in the 5th. Matt finished the night 2-5 with 3 RBI. Doosan starting pitcher Kim Sun-woo turned in his 2nd straight quality start. Kim worked 5 2/3 innings(84 pitches, 52 strikes) of 1 run ball. Kim allowed 5 hits and 2 walks with 4 K's on the night. The only run he allowed came on a Kim Tae-gyun solo homer. The homer was Kim's 2nd of the season.


KIA 2, SK 2

Hey! Another tie! Great. Chae Byeong-yeong had a nice effort wasted by a struggling SK offense. Chae tossed 6 shutout innings(96 pitches, 61 strikes). He only surrendered 5 hits and 1 walk. He was able to strikeout 7 Tigers during his start. SK's 1st run came on an RBI single from outfielder Park Jae-sang in the 5th inning. KIA would tie the game in the 8th inning when third baseman Ahn Chi-hong hit a slow roller up the middle that got past the pitcher. The ball took for..e...ver to reach the 2nd baseman. By the time the ball got to him, Choi Yong-gyu was sliding across the plate. SK took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 12th on an RBI double from DH Yoon Sang-gyun. KIA tied the game in the bottom of the 12th on an RBI single from Jang Seong-ho. With no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, Choi Hee-seop grounded into a double play. With a runner on 3rd and 2 outs, KIA's Na Ji-hwan was intentionally walked. Ahn Chi-hong came up to the plate to be a hero and...he...hit...a...towering...fly...ball...to..left...which was caught at the warning track. Ballgame. Tie. Pucker up and go find your sisters.
