Wouldn't it have been the most important?" Why did manager Lee Bum-ho mention 'ground ball' rather than Kim Do-young's home run

KIA won the first and second games of the Korean Series (four wins out of seven) against the Samsung Lions at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on Sunday. The team won the first game, which was suspended two days ago due to rain, 5-1 and 8-3 in the second game, which followed. The winning team of the first KS match has a 72.5 percent chance of winning the championship, 29 out of 40 times. The winning team has a 90 percent chance (18/20) of winning the first and second games.토토사이트

KIA, which had come from behind to win Game 1 of the series, collapsed the Samsung mound in Game 2 with "super-throwing mode." It scored five runs in offense alone in the bottom of the first inning, and gained the upper hand early on. One thing to watch out for was Kim Do-young's at-bat in the third inning. KIA, which had a chance to secure first and second base with no outs thanks to No. 1 Park Chan-ho's walk and No. 2 Socrates Brito' hit to the right, advanced one base at a time when Samsung catcher Kang Min-ho was out of check. Kim Do-young, who entered the batter's box with runners on the second and third bases with no outs, hit the third fastball by Samsung starter Hwang Dong-jae to score a ground ball to the second base. Although it was not a hit, third baseman Park Chan-ho scored and second baseman Socrates advanced to the third base.


Since then, Kia's batters have exploded as if a rush of hits were exploding. With runners on the third base with one out, Choi Hyung-woo, Na Sung-bum, Kim Sun-bin and Lee Woo-sung all had four hits in a row to make it 5-0. Kim Do-young hit his sixth run with a solo homer at his second batter's box in the second inning of the second inning. It was his first KS homer in his career. "Rather than hitting a homer, I think the most important thing in today's second game was to send an RBI single in the first inning and send a runner on the second base to the third base," coach Lee Bum-ho said after the game, referring to Kim's team batting.

"When I analyzed Hwang Dong-jae's performance, there were rumors that he was difficult to hit because he had a lot of movement," Kim Do-young said. "I was going to bunt, but it became the second and third bases (for my catcher's error), and I thought about practicing during the break, so I tried to hit the ground ball to the second base consciously. I was satisfied that it went well."
