The Samsung Lions and the Hanwha Eagles were 5-5 in their first practice match against a Korean team. Noh Si-hwan, Ahn Chi-hong and Ha Joo-seok hit a home run for Hanwha, and Kim Sung-yoon and Kim Ji-chan had four hits for Samsung.
Hanwha scored the first run in the top of the first inning. With two outs and a strikeout, the batter got on base, and No Si-hwan, the fourth batter, hit a fastball to hit the first pitch of Samsung starter Connor Sebold (registered name Connor), to hit the homer over the central fence. He even sent a flag that was embedded in the back screen. The two teams’ players also erupted in exclamation over their large-sized home run with a flying distance of 135-140 meters.
Hanwha scored an additional point due to the Samsung defense’s mistake. With two outs and a runner on the first base, Samsung’s center fielder Kim Sung-yoon threw the ball to the third base when Moon Hyun-bin had a hit to the center field, while Moon Hyun-bin also headed to the second base. However, third baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk’s throw fell backward, and Chae Eun-sung homered.
Samsung’s batters also scored from Hanwha starter Felix Peña. Kim Ji-chan stole the second base after hitting a hit to the middle ground in the bottom of the first inning, and Kim Hyun-joon drew a walk to get the first and second base with no outs. Koo Ja-wook hit a hit to the right and brought Kim home. However, the base running was regrettable. Kim Hyun-joon was out on his way back while running to the third base, and Koo died wildly at the bat due to catcher Park Sang-eon’s check.
Samsung tied the game in the third inning. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, Ryu Ji-hyuk’s fly ball to the center field led to the first and third bases, and Kim Young-woong struck out. Kim Seong-yoon called in third baseman Kang Min-ho with a double that landed on the right wing, followed by shortstop Lee Do-yoon who caught and dropped a grounder hit by Kim Ji-chan, and Oh Jae-il homered to make the score 3-3.
In the top of the third inning, An Chi-hong hit a superior solo shot against Samsung’s second pitcher Lee Ho-sung. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Kim Young-woong and Kim Sung-yoon hit consecutive hits after two outs, and Kim Ji-chan hit a high ball from Hanwha Kim Seo-hyun to make a timely RBI. Kim Ji-chan’s third hit made it 4-4.
Hanwha’s slugging capability exploded again. Ha Ju-seok, who came in as a third-base defense, hit a solo home run against Lee Seung-hyun (ranked 20) in his first at-bat in the top of the seventh inning. However, Samsung tied the game at the bottom of the eighth inning with Kim Sung-yoon’s timely hit, and the game ended in a tie. The two teams pitched Kim Jae-yoon and Joo Hyun-sang, who must-win groups, in the ninth inning, and blocked them from losing a point, resulting in a tie.
