KIA Tigers outfielder Park Jung-woo stood tall as the main character in the last game of the team's first half. He broke down Oh Seung-hwan, the best closing Samsung Lions, and shed tears of joy.
Park Jung-woo scored one hit, two RBIs and two runs in one at-bats in Game 8 between the teams against the Samsung Lions in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 4th, leading KIA to an 8-3 victory.
Park Jung-woo was put into the game as Na Sung-bum's pinch-runner in the top of the eighth inning with one out and one on the first base when KIA was being dragged 2-3 on the day. KIA bench decided that Na Sung-bum, who suffered from a hamstring injury this season, was not easy to sprint at the match point, so he threw a game-winning move to use Park Jung-woo, who has fast feet.
The KIA bench made a timely decision. When Choi Hyung-woo hit a double that separates the right and middle, Park made his way to the second and third bases to safely hit the home plate. The team scored an invaluable tying run, making the score 3-3.
Park Jung-woo even played troubleshooter in the top of the ninth inning. With runners on the ground with two outs, KIA had a chance to score a point with two outs and two runners on the second base as Kim Sun-bin hit a double off Oh Seung-hwan. It was a golden opportunity to break the tight 3-3 tie and get the finishing run.
Samsung's bench also made bold moves in the do-or-die situations. Recently, he chose to play against Park Jeong-woo, who skipped Kim Do-young, who has good batting sense, through automatic intentional throwing and was put as Na Sung-bum's pinch runner.
Park Jung-woo made Samsung regret his decision to play Kim Do-young's automatic throwing. He hit Oh's second ball, a 135-km-long folk ball, and hit a two-run double that passed the height of the right field on Oh's first pitch one ball. He swung the ball that fell well to the low course of his body and rolled up the ball to perfection.
Immediately after Park Jung-woo's two-run double, KIA completely destroyed Samsung and Oh Seung-hwan with Hong Jong-pyo's one-run timely hit and Socrates Brito's two-run home run. Following the 2nd and 3rd, the team made a come-from-behind victory in all three consecutive games in the first half.
The mood of the KIA team was also heated up by Park Jung-woo's finishing hit. Senior players including Park Chan-ho poured cold water on Park as soon as he finished his TV interview.
Park Jung-woo conducted an interview with the field reporters and the official instructor with his body soaking wet. At that time, he shed a hot tear for a while as if he was suddenly overwhelmed.
"I live with my parents, but they didn't come to the stadium today, but I cried because I think they saw me hit a double in the top of the ninth inning on TV," Park Jung-woo said. "As soon as I hit a double in the top of the ninth inning and stepped on the base, I thought, 'I hit it.' "
He said he didn't care at all about Kim Do-young's automatic on-base hit in front of him. Rather, he explained, "Since I'm a batter like that, I thought (Kim Do-young's intentional on-base hit) was natural and went into the batter's box with the same mind as usual."
고수익알바 The reason Park Jung-woo shed tears was that in addition to thinking of his beloved parents, the mistake against the Lotte Giants on May 22nd came to mind. Park Jung-woo was put in as a pinch runner at the time, but he was agonized by the team's defeat as he was bashed for a mistake when Kim Sun-bin made a fly ball to the outfield with one out in the top of the ninth inning when KIA was trailing 2-4.
Park Jung-woo said, "After hitting a double in the top of the ninth inning, I remembered the most that I made a mistake during the Sajik game on May 23rd," adding, "I was baptized by my seniors, but I feel good. It would be nice to do this every day, but since opportunities don't always come, I will try to show good performances whenever I go out."
