LG Twins pitcher Sung Dong-hyun (26) led a valuable draw with a 180-degree change in one day.
LG drew 7-7 against the Lotte Giants in an away game at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 21st after a close game in the 11th inning of extra time.안전놀이터
LG allowed Lotte's Ko Seung-min to hit a tying two-run homer by Kim Jin-sung, the "No. 1 hold," after two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning with a 7-5 lead. Park Myung-geun also threw through the ninth inning. With Jang Hyun-sik, Kim Kang-ryul, and Bae Jae-joon out due to injury recently, two must-win teams (Kim Jin-sung and Park Myung-geun) were all out, and thus the team was losing ground in the bullpen battle against Lotte. As Lee Woo-chan blocked the 10th inning, Sung Dong-hyun took the mound in the 11th inning. Baek Seung-hyun and Kim Young-woo, who threw more than 30 pitches on the previous day, had no pitchers to play as a resting group.
Sung Dong-hyun, who joined LG as seventh in the second round of the first round in 2018, is a right-handed pitcher from last year's Futures Northern League with multiple wins and No. 1 ERA. His overall performance in the first team is one win and a 7.71 ERA in nine games.
Sung Dong-hyun showed signs of nervousness in the previous day's game. He took the mound as the second pitcher after starting pitcher Song Seung-ki in the bottom of the sixth inning when his team was leading 14-3 and allowed three hits, one walk, and four runs without setting an out count. After sending out the first-runner Na Seung-yeop and the subsequent Yoon Dong-hee with consecutive hits, he allowed Yoo Kang-nam to walk, causing the team to be loaded with no outs. He was then replaced by Son Ho-young after receiving an RBI infield hit. Taking over the mound, Kim allowed all the runners left by Sung Dong-hyun to score runs. "I was going crazy. It was my first time to be a batter without even getting one out," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said on the game, which was held from 14-3 to 14-9.
However, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop did not send Sung Dong-hyun to the second division and gave Sung another chance. "Park Myung-geun prevented additional loss and won, which gave Sung Dong-hyun and Kim Yoo-young another chance."
Sung Dong-hyun displayed completely different performances in just one day, and displayed good performance. At the bottom of the 11th inning when the game was tying 7-7 on Sunday, he handled Kim Dong-hyuk, the first batter, with a fly ball to the left field. Jeon gave a strikeout to his successor. Sung gave up a walk to Na Seung-yeop, but he caught Yoon Dong-hee on an outfield fly and ended the game with a 7-7 draw. Sung has experienced both hell and hell in just one day.
It was a valuable draw for LG, an away team that failed to score a point in offense in the top of the 11th inning. LG maintained its lead by 2.5 games against Hanwha, the second place team, which lost to the NC Dinos 2-5. In matches against Lotte in this season, LG continued its strong performance by posting three wins and one draw.
