Since the opening of the regular league, the Samsung Lions of the professional baseball have been defeated for four consecutive years.
Samsung lost to 0-1 in the 2021 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League visit match against Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 7th.
Doosan drew 3 consecutive wins in the opening and Samsung drew 4 consecutive victories.
Doosan’s new foreign left-handed pitcher Ariel Miranda, who was worried about his sluggish pitching in the demonstration game, struck out five in five innings and scored a scoreless goal to win his debut match.
At the end of the second inning, Doosan subtracted the only score of the day when he landed in front of pitcher Oh Jae-won from the second and third bases caught by Park Se-hyuk’s heavy hit, Kim Jae-ho’s walk, and Samsung starting pitcher Won Tae-in’s explosive blow.
Samsung seized the opportunity to tie 1 company 1st and 3rd base with two hits at the beginning of the 6th inning.
However, Doosan third baseman Heo Gyeong-min fell and kicked Kim Heon-gon’s hitting ball, and the chance was missed when third base runner Koo Ja-wook, who was running home, was caught with a narrow attack.
Doosan’s infield was not exceeded even with two infield hits, including a bunt hit, and a single hit in the 7th inning that followed by a bunt and a deliberate walk.
Doosan second baseman Park Gye-beom who caught Kim Sang-soo’s ground ball connected shortstop Kim Jae-ho to the first base runner as a force out at second base.
Kim Jae-ho threw at first base without delay and turned even Kim Sang-soo out to finish the defense with a side effect.
Samsung requested to read the video for the first base out situation, but the out-in court was maintained.
In the first and second base of the 8th inning with two single hits, Doosan pitcher Hong Kun-hee, who caught Kim Heon-gon’s bunt, threw it accurately at third base, and the Mac was cut again because he caught Koo Ja-wook.
Kim Gang-ryul, who made 8 appearances and threw 1⅔ innings without a run, has already harvested 3 saves.
After two deaths in the 9th inning, Park Hae-min hit a double in the middle right, but he caught Kim Sang-soo with a ground ball and turned off the fire.
Won Tae-in lost after struggling with one run in 5 innings and fell into a swamp of 9 consecutive losses since last August.
