KT Wiz beat Hanwha Eagles to escape for two consecutive games, and won the first of three consecutive games over the weekend. KT, which scored just one more point amid good pitching by both teams, secured a difficult victory.

KT, led by head coach Lee Kang-chul, won 2-1 in an away game against Hanwha in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on Saturday. After losing for two consecutive games on the day, KT rose to fourth place with 14 wins, one draw and 12 losses. On the other hand, Hanwha, which lost for two consecutive games after eight consecutive wins, fell to 15 wins and three losses, and now ranks fifth without a game difference with KT.온라인바카라

KT, which met Um Sang-baek, who had been a teammate until last year as the opponent's starter, failed to lead to a score even though it had several chances in the early stages of the game. In the top of the first inning, KT had a chance to score first and second bases with Huh Kyung-min's left-handed double and Jang Sung-woo's straight walk after Rojas and Kim Min-hyuk stepped down with a fly ball, but Hwang Jae-kyun failed to score as he grounded out to shortstop.

In the top of the second inning, Oh Yoon-seok's hit ball and Rojas' walk after a heavy hit in the middle of the assignment stand created a chance to load the bases with two outs, but Kim Min-hyuk ended the inning without scoring a run with a fly ball to right field. Hanwha hitters continued to balance 0-0 with Cho Hyung-joon's ball, and failed to get on base due to three outs in the top of the third inning.

At the top of the fourth inning, KT scored the first run. Oh Yoon-seok, the leader, advanced to third base on left-handed hits, Choi Sung-min's sacrifice bunt, and Bae Jeong-dae's grounder to shortstop. KT then homered on Kwon Dong-jin's timely hit that targeted Um Sang-baek's change-up, and took a 1-0 lead.

KT, which failed to run away afterwards, allowed the game to be tied 1-1 as So Hyung-joon went down and Son Dong-hyun was hit by Noh Si-hwan in the bottom of the seventh inning. A high two-pitch 146km/h fastball passed over the left-center fence. It was the end of Son's "zero" march, which had an ERA of 0.00 in 15 consecutive games before the game.

In the top of the ninth inning, however, he succeeded in hitting Kim Seo-hyun, Hanwha's closing pitcher, and scored another run. Yoo Jun-kyu had a walk on base and Bae Jeong-dae's ground ball put the runner out, but Rojas' timely hit came out at the chance that led to Kwon Dong-jin's walk. Kim Seo-hyun also had no run in 13 consecutive games, but his record was broken on the day. KT, which brought the lead, finished the game as Park Young-hyun defended the back door in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Starting pitcher Cho Hyung-joon allowed only one hit during six innings, allowing 10 strikeouts with one walk, and allowing no run against Hanwha hitters. He tightly tied Hanwha's batting lineup by mixing changeups, cutters, and curves, focusing on the maximum 148 km/h commitment. At the match against Kiwoom in Gocheok on Wednesday last week, Cho also recorded double-digit strikeouts in two consecutive games for the first time since his debut.

Son took over the mound after Cho Hyung-joon. Son, who had an earned run average of 0.00 in 15 consecutive games before the game, took the mound at the top of the seventh inning with a 1-0 lead and allowed a 1-1 tie when Roh hit a solo home run, but he took charge of two innings until the top of the eighth inning to lay the groundwork for his team's victory, and became the winning pitcher on the day.

At the bottom of the ninth inning, when Kim Seo-hyun's opponent Rojas' timely hit brought a 2-1 lead, closer Park Young-hyun was on the verge of a one-out first and second base with a left-handed hit by Hwang Young-mook and a right-handed hit by Moon Hyun-bin, but he handled Noh Si-hwan with a fly ball to right field and struck out Lim Jong-chan, keeping the lead by a point and completing the victory to achieve the save.

"Starting pitcher So Hyung-joon pitched really well and laid the groundwork for the victory. Son Dong-hyun and Park Young-hyun, who followed suit, also defended well in tight situations," Lee said after the game, applauding the three pitchers who did not collapse after taking the mound.

Manager Lee then said, "In the batting line, Kwon Dong-jin's first RBI brought the atmosphere of the game. After that, we allowed the tie, but the batters showed their concentration in the last chance, and we can win with Rojas' additional RBI," adding, "Thank you to the players for your hard work and to the fans who came to the away game."
