"When I go up to the mound, I gain confidence thanks to fans' cheers."
Lee Ho-sung, the "New Closer" of the Samsung Lions in professional baseball, completely silenced the KIA lineup and harvested his fourth win of the season.
Lee Ho-sung took the mound in the eighth inning with two outs and no runners in the home game against KIA 4-4 at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 24th, and settled the inning by striking out the first batter Oh Sun-woo with a swing and miss.
Since then, Samsung has made the "8th inning of the Promise" a reality. When the first-runner Lewin Diaz walked to get on base, pinch runner Shim Jae-hoon was put in, followed by Kang Min-ho's walk and Ryu Ji-hyuk's heavy hit to create a one-out bases-loaded opportunity. Lee Sung-kyu calmly picked up a push-out walk and succeeded in turning the game around 5-4.먹튀검증
KIA replaced the mound from left-hander Choi Ji-min to right-hander Sung Young-tak, but Samsung's flow did not stop. With Yang Yang-geun getting a walk, third baseman Kang Min-ho homered and loaded the bases with 6-4. With two outs, Kim Sung-yoon hit a two-run double over the height of the left field to seal the victory.
Lee Ho-seong kept the mound in the ninth inning as well. He struck out pinch hitter Kim Seok-hwan with a swing and miss, and Park Jeong-woo's on-base error did not waver, but he grounded out to shortstop and caught Kim Gyu-seong with a fly to center field to end the game.
Samsung won the game 8-4, avenging its previous loss. Lee Ho-seong became the winning pitcher with two strikeouts and no run in one ⅓ inning. He garnered his fourth win of this season, sharing the lead in multiple wins within his team along with foreigners' one-two punch Ariel Furado and Denny Reyes. Ryu Ji-hyuk (2 hits and three RBIs) and Kim Sung-yoon (2 hits and two RBIs) led the team's offense.
After the game, Lee Ho-sung said, "I think I focused on the out count in the eighth inning and caught it well, but it was a shame that I had a lot of balls in the early ninth inning. "I was able to concentrate because Minho said, 'Think of it as a one-point difference and throw it,'" he said. "When I go up to the mound, I gain confidence thanks to the fans' cheers. I thank the fans for supporting me until the end even in rainy weather."
Meanwhile, coach Park Jin-man said, "Although it was a difficult game to get the first run and pursue the team through the seventh inning, Ryu Ji-hyuk's three-run double in the fourth inning and Kim Sung-yoon's two-run timely hit in the eighth inning enabled us to win the game. I believe it was because the players did not give up until the end."
"Among the pitchers, Lee Seung-min did his part in a difficult situation and Lee Ho-sung finished well so he was able to win," he said, adding, "I would like to thank many fans for visiting the ballpark and cheering even in the midst of rain today, and I will prepare well for tomorrow's game so that I can win."
