“Kang Min-ho’s home run was the one that turned the tide in our favor.”
The Samsung Lions put on a nuclear fireworks show. They set new records for most hits, runs scored, RBIs, and runs scored this season.
In the second game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, South Korea, the Lions pounded out 22 hits, including five four-baggers, in a 21-4 victory.
Samsung’s team batting records for the year changed in a single day. It set new records for most hits (22, previously 18 against Suwon KT on March 24 and 18 against Busan Lotte on April 10), runs scored (21), RBIs (17, previously 15 against Daegu NC on July 10), and margin of victory (11 runs against Gochuk Kiwoom on April 27).
In the top of the first inning, Lotte’s Na Seung-yeop avenged Won Tae-in’s early three-run blast. The team got a run back in the bottom of the first inning, and Kang Min-ho’s three-run shot at 3-3 in the bottom of the third inning sparked the team’s bats to explode. Newcomer Cardenas added to the new cannons, including Lee Sung-gyu (No. 17) and Kim Young-woong (No. 18), who are both hitting career highs this year. Lee Sung-gyu has homered in three games and Kang Min-ho has homered in two straight games.
Including Koo’s 20th home run the day before, the team hit seven home runs in the two-game series against Lotte. The team is now tied with the Kia Tigers for first place in the league with 109 home runs.
Ryu Ji-hyeok had his best day since joining Samsung with four hits and five RBIs on the day. “I was lucky,” Ryu said. I was lucky to get some good at-bats,” said Ryu. ”I feel more 온라인카지노사이트 comfortable at the plate when there are runners on base. Having runners on base gave me confidence, and I was able to bat with a relaxed approach, which led to good results.”
“All the players were focused on winning today and not thinking about the past games. We had a lot of fans here today, which gave us a lot of strength. We will continue to do well in the future, so please come to the remaining matches and make your voice heard,” he said, thanking the home fans who sold out Lapak for the second consecutive day.
“We were able to win the game because our batsmen performed evenly. The players showed strong concentration. They showed that they wanted to end the losing streak,” said Park.
“Kang Min-ho’s home run was the one that turned the momentum in our favor. He’s been hitting well in the second half of the year (six home runs in July), and he’s been doing a great job of centering the batting order.”
He also praised Lee Sang-min, who pitched the final three scoreless innings to earn his first career save in a game that was heavily tilted to one side, saying, “He pitched three clean innings and did a good job.”
“I would like to thank the fans for filling the stadium in the hot weather, and I will do my best to continue to show them a winning game,” said Park Jin-man.
