Weekend Roundup: Friday 9/11 Scores and News

KIA 4, Hanhwa 2
W - Lee Dae-jin (3-5), L - Ryu Hyeon-jin (11-12), S - Yoo Dong-hoon (19)

At some point, Ryu Hyeon-jin is going to start strangling teammates. I understand the concept of team baseball, but if I'm going to put miles on my shoulder, I'm going to want some help. Ryu is the only player keeping this team from a sub .300 winning percentage. Ryu tossed 7 innings(120 pitches, 75 strikes) of 3-run ball. he gave up 4 hits and 4 walks while striking out 10. KIA starter Lee Dae-jin wasn't quite as sharp as Ryu, but he benefitted from a little help from the KIA offense. Lee tossed 5 innings(89 pitches, 50 strikes) and allowed only 2 runs. Lee gave up 6 hits and 3 walks while striking out 3. Most of KIA's runs came via the solo homer. 1st baseman Choi Hee-seop, right fielder Lee Jong-beom and pinch hitter Jang Seong-ho all hit solo shots in this game. KIA closer Yoo Dong-hoon tossed a 1-2-3 9th for the save.

LG 3, Samsung 2
W - Bong Jung-geun (11-12), L - Park Min-gyu (0-1), S - Oh Sang-min (1)

This game was a loss before it was played. The national team ace vs. some guy I think the Lions made up? Let's just toss that one in the L column. Bong was solid, but not great. Dr. Bong threw 6 innings(102 pitches, 58 strikes) of 2-run baseball. Bong gave up 9 hits, 1 walk and 1 hit batsman while striking out only 2. LG simply ran Samsung out of the stadium. The Twins stole 7 bases. Center fielder Lee Dae-hyeong and left fielder Park Yong-taek stole 2 each. 3-2 makes this game sound close, but it was actually fairly dull, even with all the stolen bases.
