It was ladies night last night in Seoul. The Doosan Bears chose to wear these uni's. Somehow, I don't think these are going to sell quite as well as these.
LG 7, Doosan 1
W - Bong Jung-geun (3-3), L - Kim Sun-woo (4-3)
This matchup of Korean guys that once took up space on an MLB roster was clearly won by Bong. The LG ace threw 8 innings(97 pitches, 66 strikes) of 1-run baseball. His only mistake came when he allowed Doosan 3rd baseman Kim Dong-joo to hit a fastball into the seats in the 7th inning. Bong allowed only 2 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 9. Kim Sun-woo had a little more trouble with the LG lineup. Kim lasted 5 2/3 innings(77 pitches, 47 strikes), but he allowed 7 runs on 7 hits and 2 hit batsmen. Somehow, he struck out 3 batters. Most of the damage on Kim came during LG's 4-run rally in the 6th inning. Kim surrendered an RBI single to Roberto Petagine and loaded the bases with 2 outs. He was quickly yanked for reliever Park Jeong-bae. Park allowed a wild pitch to give LG a 5-0 lead. Then, LG catcher Kim Jeong-min shot a ball under the legs of Doosan 1st baseman Lee Won-seok. 2 runs scored to give LG a 7-0 advantage. Doosan's Kim Dong-joo would pad his stats with a solo homer, but Doosan never threatened. Actually Kim was the Doosan offense, in addition to his solo homer, he also added a single. He accounted for both Doosan hits.
KIA 10, Seoul Heroes 3
W - Kwak Jeong-cheol (2-0), L - Lee Dong-hak (1-2)
With the score tied at 1 in the 5th inning, KIA loaded the bases for Kim Sang-hyeon. Kim put a 1-0 pitch from Cho Yong-hoon over the left field fence for a grand slam. The slam gave KIA a 5-1 lead. KIA slugger Choi Hee-seop added a solo homer in 7th to give KIA a 6-2 lead and pad his stats. KIA mounted a 4-run "Eff you!" rally in the 9th inning. I guess they wanted to make sure the Heroes knew they were beaten. Heroes reliever Jang Hyo-hoon stayed in for the 9th inning and essentially threw batting practice. It was an ugly end to an ugly night for Heroes pitching. Doug Clark hit a "Why Not?" solo homer in the bottom of the 9th. If they're going to force him to play while losing 10-2, he might as well try.
Samsung 6, Hanwha 5
W - Ahn Ji-man (2-2), L - Yoo Won-sang (0-2), S - Oh Seung-hwan (9)
Samsung took a 4-0 lead after a 3-run rally in the 2nd inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out, infielder Shin Myeong-cheol hit a deep fly ball to left/center that would bounce over the fence for a ground rule double. Both runners were allowed to score on the play. The next batter, Samsung outfielder Kang Bong-gyu, doubled off the wall in right to score Shin. Hanwha started Yoo Won-sang was chased from the game after only 3 innings pitched. With the early cushion, Samsung starter Ahn Ji-man was allowed to cruise for 5 2/3 innings(95 pitches, 61 strikes). Ahn allowed only 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks with 4 K's. While trying to hold a 6-2 lead in the 9th inning, the Samsung bullpen put runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Oh Seung-hwan was called upon to record the last two outs. Hanwha 3rd baseman Lee Yeo-sang crushed a 2-2 offering over the fence in centerfield for a 3-run homer. Oh would get the next two outs, but does he really deserve a save for giving up a 3-run bomb?
Lotte 4, SK 3
W - Jang Won-joon (2-4), L - Goh Hyo-joon (2-2), S - Jon Adkins (6)
Jang Won-joon gave Lotte a quality start and the Lotte offense gave him just enough offense to win. Jang threw 8 innings(114 pitches, 68 strikes) of 3-run baseball. He allowed 9 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5. All of the damage inflicted by SK came in the early innings. SK 3rd baseman Choi Jeong and catcher Park Kyeong-wan both hit solo homers in the first inning to give SK a 2-0 lead. SK starting pitcher Eom Jeong-wook lasted only 8 pitches. Lotte's Kim Joo-chan hit a leadoff single. Then Lee Seung-hwa hit another single to put runners on the corners with 0 outs. Lee In-gu hit a sac fly to score Kim from 3rd and that was it for Eom. Lotte would score again in the 2nd to tie the game, but Park Kyeong-won hit an RBI single that scored Choi Jeong from 3rd. Park's RBI gave SK a 3-2 lead. Lotte would rally for 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th. 1st baseman Kim Joo-chan would double off the wall in center to score catcher Choi Ki-moon from 3rd and tie the game at 3. Then, Lee Seung-hwa ripped a single to center to score Kim and give Lotte a 4-3 advantage. In the 9th inning, Lotte closer Jon Adkins would surrender a hit, but he struck out 2 while finishing off the Wyverns and recording the save.
