National player Second baseman Park Min-woo's easy defense has become a pretext for a band-to-band defeat.
nc lost 3-5 in the ninth inning at the Samsung Lions of Shinhan Bank MY CAR KBO League held at Changwon station Masan Stadium on the 4th. nc (47 wins, 69 losses) did not get out of the bottom spot.
The National players, who returned on the day, were side by side as top hitters for both teams; the Samsung Lions came out as center fielder Park Hae-min. nc was scooped by Park Min-woo as Second baseman No. 1; the key was how much the national hitters would break through the offensive.
Both Park Hae-min and Park Min-woo were seldom struck out in the first at-bat; Park Min-woo, who led the way in the fourth, hit his first hit. Park Min-woo homered in a double by Kwon Hee-dong, the moment nc took the lead.
Park Hae-min picked up his first hit in the seventh inning only in the third at-bat, but failed to connect until scoring due to a subsequent misfire. The two players, who came out in a day after returning from Jakarta, seemed heavy. Park Min-woo, who scored the finish on one hit in four at-bats, hit better than Park Hae-min in five at-bats.
The problem was a decisive mistake: Samsung Lions led the way in the ninth inning with the leadoff hitter Koo Ja-wook walking out; Kim Hun-gon hit a par-timer. Second baseman Park Min-woo made a fatal mistake of missing the ball; Park Min-woo failed to get to first base.
Lee Min-ho, a rocking pitcher, hit Lee Ji-young's body and was loaded with a scoreless base. Lee Min-ho threw a grounder to the home and grabbed an outcount. Lee Min-ho struck out Choi Young-jin, who gave Kim Sung-hoon a walk to push him out after a full-count match. Baek Seung-min's sweeping three-run double broke out and the Samsung Lions turned 5-3.
If Park Min-woo showed a stable defense, nc had enough opportunity to cleanly prevent the defense in the ninth inning and win. Park Min-woo failed to look up after making a fatal mistake in his first nc return.
