"It was a great effort"
KT Wiz whistles seven straight wins to move into third place. The commander recalled the names of honored players.
KT won 4-3 away from home against the Doosan Bears in the 2023 Shinhan Bank Solar KBO League at Jamsil Stadium on April 4.
KT jumped to third place (48 wins, 2 draws, 43 losses) after 107 days since its April 19 loss to Suwon SSG Landers.
The seven-game winning streak took longer. Last year, it took a whopping 391 days to complete the seven-game winning streak from June 30 against the Daegu Samsung Lions to July 9 against the Suwon Lotte Giants.
Starting pitcher Lee Byeol-seong pitched six innings of seven-hit, two-run ball to earn his fifth win of the season. The bullpen followed suit with three innings of one-run (unearned) relief, with Young-hyun Park earning his second save of the season after pitching three straight innings in a tough save situation.
After the game, KT manager Lee Kang-cheol 바카라 said, "Even though the exclusivity of the starters was bad, they did their job well with minimal runs, and the next pitchers, Joo Kwon, Son Dong-hyun, and Park Young-hyun, protected the lead well. Park Young-hyun pitched three consecutive innings and did a great job."
He went on to talk about Yoo Soo-jin's offense and defense, saying, "Yoo Soo-jin played important defense. Bae Joo-dae stopped the flow with an important home run for the second day in a row, and Kim Jun-tae prevented runners from advancing in a crisis. In the batting lineup, veterans Park Byung-ho and Hwang Jae-gyun came through with important hits and home runs after two innings in the tying situation to bring us the victory." "All the players had a hard time in the hot weather," he said.
Finally, he thanked the fans for their enthusiastic support in the hot weather. "We are grateful to the fans who came to the ballpark in the hot weather to support us," Lee said.
