“I think it’s more thrilling than a home run.”
The KIA Tigers won 6-3 in a confrontation with the LG Twins in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 29th.
KIA took the lead with LG starter Kang Hyo-jong’s balk in the situation of 1 company and 3 base at the beginning of the 1st inning. In the second inning, 1 point was added due to an error by second baseman Seo Geon-chang. Hwang Dae-in’s two-run home run in the top of the third inning widened the score gap, and Ryu Ji-hyeok’s one RBI and timely hit in the fourth inning made it 5-0.
However, in the bottom of the 7th inning, LG was allowed to pursue. Kim Dae-yu, who came up after Sean Anderson, made the bases safe with a ball hit by Kim Min-seong, a hit by Park Hae-min, and a ball hit by Hong Chang-ki. Choi Ji-min, who took over the baton, struck out Seong-ju Moon, but allowed Oh Ji-hwan to walk. Afterwards, Austin Dean hit two RBIs in a timely manner and caught up to 5-3.
However, in the top of the ninth, Kim Gyu-seong’s foot broke LG’s will to pursue. After leading hitter Kim Sun-bin got a hit, he was replaced by lead runner Kim Gyu-seong. Then, Choi Hyung-woo hit, Hwang Dae-in center fielder fly ball, Socrates Brito walked, and Lee Chang-jin struck out, and the bases were loaded with two outs. Han Seung-taek stepped in at bat. In the 1B2S situation, Kim Gyu-seong dug into the home. Second base runner Lee Woo-sung and first base runner Socrates also attempted to steal. A triple steal came out. Ham Deok-joo, who was late in grasping the situation, threw the ball into the home belatedly, but Kim Gyu-seong succeeded in touching the home base.
This triple steal is the 7th record in the KBO league, and it was the first triple steal for the KIA club.
