Bibongo advanced to the second round of the Golden Lion with a walk-off home run.
Bibongo defeated Daejeon Jeil High School 11-10 in the first round on the 3rd day of the 77th Golden Lion National High School Baseball Championship and Weekend League Wangjungwangjeon (co-sponsored by Donga Ilbo, Sports Donga, and Korea Baseball Softball Association) held at Mokdong Stadium on the 16th. It is the first Golden Lion victory since its establishment in 2018.
The match today was very up and down. Bibongo led 4-2 until the end of the 5th inning, but allowed 7 runs in the top of the 6th inning, showing a strong defeat. However, while Daejeon Jeil High School ran away with one run in the top of the 7th inning, Bibongo also scored 3 runs each in the bottom of the 6th and 8th innings to tie the game at 10-10. And in the bottom of the ninth, lead hitter Baek Jae-hyeon’s walk-off solo home run led to a dramatic victory.
Bibongo waited until Daejeon Jeil High School showed a gap. Daejeon Jeil High School ace Park Sang-yeon (4.2 innings, 3 runs, 1 earned run), who made a relief mound in the bottom of the first inning, judged that she had a chance to win if she got off the mound. Bibongo showed more concentration when Park Sang-yeon was replaced. Daejeon Jeil High School’s concentration was excellent enough to give up points to all three of its bullpen cards.카지노사이트
The game was decided by the offensive power of both teams. At Daejeon Jeil High School, Koo Chan-hoe, the 3rd hitter with 6 hits in 6 at-bats, flew wildly, but Bibongo’s determination was stronger. In particular, Baek Jae-hyun’s performance as the third batter and first baseman was very decisive. Baek Jae-hyun recorded 2 hits, 2 RBIs and 1 stolen base in 4 at-bats, including the walk-off home run.
Bibongo coach Jeon Jeon made the Bibongo players come together. Celebrating his birthday, he stood in front of home plate after the walk-off home run, waited for Baek Jae-hyeon, and greeted him at 90 degrees. After the game, he said, “Yesterday (15th), the children said, ‘We will win as a birthday present. Even though he kept fighting, ‘I don’t think I’m going to lose today. I think you guys will win. If you follow the pattern you used to do, the opportunity will definitely come,’ and I really received the gift of victory. I was greeted with a grateful heart,” he laughed.
Baek Jae-hyun, who gave the former director a special gift, laughed and said, “It was not an intentional ceremony,” and then said, “The director suddenly greeted me, so I followed suit.”
