Kim Do-young’s powerful ‘punch’, hitting a comeback triple
KIA Tigers won 7 consecutive games against Kiwoom Heroes and is one win away from reaching 20 wins for the season.
KIA won 6-4 in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League visiting game against Kiwoom at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 24th.
Leading KIA won 19 wins and 7 losses. Kiwoom, which has lost 7 games in a row against KIA, has recently lost 3 times in a row.
Kiwoom scored first in the 3rd inning with Kim Jae-hyeon’s hit, sent bunt, and Lee Yong-gyu’s timely hit, but failed to score an additional point, so KIA turned it over in one go in the 6th inning.
KIA, who had been held to only one hit by Kiwoom left-handed starting pitcher Enmanuel de Heisus until the fifth inning, had a chance to reach first and third base with no outs in the top of the sixth inning thanks to Kim Tae-gun’s hit to left-center, Heisus’ wild pitch, and Kim Ho-ryeong’s bunt hit.
Kim Ho-ryeong was caught at second base when Park Chan-ho hit a ground ball, but Lee Chang-jin followed up with a ground ball to shortstop and sent home runner Kim Tae-gun at third base, tying the score at 1-1.
Then, with two outs and two outs on second base, Kim Do-young, who was in full swing, roared after hitting a come-from-behind triple that hit the wire mesh above the fence in right-center.
Soon after, Lee Woo-sung’s fly ball was hit, and while second baseman Song Seong-moon and right fielder Joo Seong-won were unable to clear it, turning it into a double, Kim Do-young leisurely hit home, widening the gap to 3-1.
In the top of the 8th inning, KIA added 3 points through Lee Woo-sung’s grounder at 2nd and 3rd bases with 1 out and 2 outs, and Kim Sun-bin and Choi Won-jun’s consecutive hits at 1st and 3rd bases with 2 outs, and won or lost.
Young-Cheol Yoon earned his 3rd win (undefeated) of the season with a salty pitch that allowed 4 hits and 4 walks in 6⅔ innings and gave up only 1 point.
In the bottom of the 9th inning, when the team was ahead 6-2, with no outs and no outs, KIA came on as a relief pitcher on first and second base. Jeong Hae-young gave up an infield hit to pinch hitter Byeon Sang-kwon and a ground ball to Kim Jae-hyun, allowing two runs (Yoo Seung-cheol’s runs), but maintained the two-run lead at age 22. At the age of 8 months and 1 day, he set a new record as the youngest person ever to make 100. 한국야동
