Kiwoom has set up its starting lineup with Kim Hye-sung (2nd baseman), Dawson (center fielder), Lim Ji-yeol (left fielder), Choi Joo-hwan (1st baseman), Kim Hwi-jip (designated hitter), Kim Dong-hyun (catcher), Song Sung-moon (third baseman), Lee Hyung-jong (right fielder) and Lee Jae-sang (striker). Lee Jae-sang has been honored as the fifth starting shortstop in the history of opening games, after Hong Hyun-woo (Haetae) in 1990, Park Jin-min (Hyundai) in 1996, Jeong Seong-hoon (Haetae) in 1999 and Kang Jung-ho (Hyundai) in 2006.
Against this backdrop, KIA has set up its lineup with Park Chan-ho (striker), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Socrates (left fielder), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Lee Woo-sung (right fielder), Hwang Dae-in (first baseman), Kim Tae-gun (catcher) and Choi Won-jun (middle fielder). Hwang Dae-in came in where Na Sung-beom was out due to injury, and Choi Won-jun (7,4 percent) in the exhibition game was the ninth.
From the first inning onwards, sparks flew to the right. Kiwoom created an opportunity thanks to leadoff Kim Hye-seong’s right-handed hit. Dawson and Lim Ji-yeol were out after hitting fly balls to center field, but Choi Joo-hwan hit a 151-km fastball from KIA starter Will Crow to paint a superior two-run arch. It was the first homerun of the 2024 professional baseball to gain the upper hand. KIA was shocked by the blood run of its ace pitcher.
Immediately, the batters made the big inning with a shower hit. Leadoff Park Chan-ho’s double in the middle began. Kiwoom center fielder Dawson couldn’t overcome the sunlight. Kim Do-young grounded out to third, but Socrates hit a hit next to right field and advanced to second base. Choi Hyung-woo then hit a timely double over the height of the third baseman to tie the game lightly.
With one out and a runner on the third base, Kim Sun-bin succeeded in turning the game around by hitting a timely hit that split the opponent’s forward defense in half. Lee Woo-sung succeeded again by making a double steal that caught Hwang off guard. Then, when Hwang Dae-in grounded out to third, the third baseman hit home, and the second baseman Lee Woo-sung rushed to home and added two more runs. Opponent first baseman Choi Joo-hwan was surprised and threw the ball home, but he threw it incorrectly. It was the seventh ground ball in history. The bold storm runner on the first base scored five points.
It was a brief lull in the second and third innings, and KIA attacked Furado again in the fourth inning. Choi Won-joon, the leadoff hitter, added a point by launching a superior solo shot. It went over the 2 million won Inc. home run zone. With one out and second base made by Park Chan-ho’s hit to the right, Socrates called in a timely hit that fell to the second base and ran to 7-2.
Furado left the mound after the fourth inning. He pitched 91 pitches in four innings, and showed poor performance with 10 hits (one homer) and two walks, one strikeout and seven runs (seven earned). In the last season, he had three wins, one loss and 1.88 ERA in four games against KIA, but this year, he collapsed in the first meeting. Kiwoom lost the game because Furado, which it trusted, failed to withstand the opponent team’s offensive and collapsed.
Kiwoom chased after him in the sixth inning. When Choi Joo-hwan drew a walk with two outs and a runner on the first base, Kim Hui-jip hit a right-handed hit, and Kia Tigers’ right fielder Lee Woo-sung scored two runs. Kim Dong-hyun also swung a critical hit, chasing after 5-7. However, he failed to overcome the power of the KIA bullpen and failed to score additional points.
After being hit by a two-run homer while throwing a fastball to Choi Joo-hwan, who is good at fastballs, Crowe defended the inning well by banking on his breaking balls, but he faltered a bit in the sixth inning. As the number of pitches he pitched exceeded 70, he displayed somewhat lackluster performance. He allowed six hits, struck out five and allowed five runs (four earned runs) during five ⅔ innings. Despite this, he won his first win in a cheerful mood in his debut game.
KIA’s bullpen session stood out. Kwak Do-gyu took the mound as a relief pitcher with two outs and a runner on first base in the sixth inning, striking out Song and preventing additional runs. Jeon allowed one hit in the seventh inning, and Choi Ji-min blocked Choi with perfect pitching with powerful pitching in the eighth inning against a clean-up trio. In the ninth inning, closer Jung Hae-young appeared, and allowed one walk and no run, and secured his first sabre.
