With the victory on this day, the difference between the lowest Samsung and 9th place Kiwoom Heroes was narrowed to one game.
Kang Min-ho, who scored 3 RBIs alone, including a home run and a double, was the main character of the game, but without Buchanan’s strong pitching, Samsung could not guarantee victory.

Buchanan, who only scored two points in the first inning, found a sense of stability as time passed. In the beginning of the 5th inning, he seemed to be slowing down with Shin Min-jae’s one RBI and timely hit, but as he took charge of the mound from the beginning of the 6th to the beginning of the 7th, he took 21 out counts by himself.

He temporarily felt numbness in his right wrist. Trainers as well as Samsung coach Park Jin-man and pitching coach Kwon Oh-joon came to the ground to check Buchanan’s physical condition.
Buchanan, who had practice pitching, expressed his intention to continue pitching, and achieved a quality start plus with a pitcher grounder by Hae-min Park, the follow-up hitter. The Samsung fans who filled the third base crowd applauded Buchanan’s fighting spirit.

Buchanan, who threw the ball until the beginning of the 7th in spite of unexpected pain, said, “In the last inning, my fingers were cramped and it hurt, but this inning, I did my best until the end with the thought that I would block it. ” he smiled.
