The Hanwha Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization are writing their own fantasy drama.
After finishing in last place (10th) for three consecutive seasons (2020, 2021, 2022) and remaining in last place until 21 June this year, Hanwha has gone on a frightening winning streak and is now a dark horse to change the ‘middle of the pack’.
The Hanwha Eagles, led by ‘young big gun’ Noh Si-hwan and ‘reliable foreign pitcher’ Ricardo Sanchez, have soared to their eighth straight win in 18 years.
Hanwha defeated the Samsung Lions 10-4 on 1 June at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, South Korea, in the visiting team’s first game of the Baseball World Cup 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League.
The win extended their winning streak to eight games, which began on 21 June against the KIA Tigers in Daejeon.
It’s been 18 years since Hanwha has won eight straight games, having won nine in a row from the Doosan Bears on 4 June 2005 to the KIA on 14 June 2005.
Hanwha’s previous longest winning streak was 14 games in a row in 1992, when the team was known as Binggrae. After changing its name to Hanwha, the team went on a 10-game winning streak in 1999 when it won the Korean Series.
Although the seventh-place KT WIZ also won on the day and remained in eighth place, Hanwha maintained a two-game lead over the fifth-place Kiwoom Heroes, 4.5 games over the third-place NC Dinos and four games over the fourth-place Lotte Giants.
Hanwha has 31 wins (37 losses and four draws) in 72 games, halfway through the season. That’s seven more than the 24 wins (47 losses, one draw) they had in 72 games last year.
The key players in the win were Noh Si-hwan, whom Hanwha developed with a long-term plan, and Sanchez, who has been on the mound since May.
Noh went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs, including a walk-off home run.
Sanchez pitched six innings of five-hit, one-run ball to earn his fifth win of the season. Sanchez hasn’t lost a game in nine appearances.
After giving Samsung the lead in the bottom of the first inning, Hanwha tied the game in the top of the fourth off the bat of Noh Si-hwan.
Noh, who started the game batting third, led off the fourth inning trailing 0-1 and took a two-seam fastball from Samsung ace David Buchanan for a game-tying solo arch over the left field wall.
Two batters later, Moon Hyun-bin singled and Jung Eun-won walked to put runners on first and second, and Choi Jae-hoon lined a single to right to make it 2-1.
Noh Si-hwan added an insurance run.
With runners on first and second in the fifth inning, Noh crushed a Buchanan curveball for a grand slam.
Noh has hit home runs (four) in his last three games, giving him 17 on the season, two shy of the league lead (19 – SSG Landers).
Hanwha pounded out a whopping 16 hits on the day, marking the club’s first multi-hit game of the season.
As Hanwha took off, Samsung crashed and burned, dropping to last place and suffering its fourth straight loss.
■ Kwak-Bin Kwak throws six innings of two-hit ball – Chung Chul-won KK…Doosan beats Lotte
In Ulsan, the Doosan Bears defeated Lotte 2-1 to avenge a 0-1 loss in extra innings the previous day.
Kwak Bin Kwak and Chung Chul-won, both born in 1999, got the start and save respectively.
Doosan took the lead in the top of the first inning when Yang Seok-hwan led off with a single to left, and Yang Ji-won, the No. 4 hitter, followed with a two-run double to the right field wall.
In the ninth, Kang Seung-ho added a run with a solo shot to left.
Lotte fought back in the bottom of the ninth, hitting three straight singles off Doosan closer Hong Gun-hee.
Trailing 2-1 and with runners on first and second in the bottom of the ninth, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop removed Hong from the mound and brought in Jung Chul-won.
Jung struck out Kim Min-seok and Ko Seung-min in succession to end the game and earn his first save of the season.
Kwak Bin improved to 7-2 with his six innings of two-hit shutout ball, his fourth win in a row.
Kia scores five runs in the fourth inning against LG ace Plutko… Kim Jong-kook gets 100th win as manager
Ninth-ranked KIA beat the top-ranked LG Twins 5-3 in front of a sweltering 23,750 fans at Jamsil Stadium.
The victory was especially significant because it came against LG starter Adam Plutko, who was unbeaten in 10 starts before the game.
Trailing 0-2 in the top of the fourth inning, KIA scored five runs on six consecutive hits from Socrates Brito, Hwang Dae-in, Ryu Ji-hyuk, pinch-hitter Ko Jong-wook, Park Chan-ho, and Choi Won-jun after Choi Hyung-woo was hit by a pitch.
Plutko suffered his first loss of the season, allowing five runs on eight hits in four innings. It was also the first time Plutko left the mound without completing the fifth inning.
KIA’s Kim Gun-guk, who made his first start in three years and eight months since resigning from Lotte on 7 October 2019, also lasted just 2⅔ innings (two hits and two runs), but KIA’s bullpen shut down the LG bats afterwards.
KIA reached 30 wins (37 losses and one tie) this season, while second-year manager Kim Jong-guk reached 100 wins (54th).
KT beats NC on Byung-ho Park’s game-winning hit in the ninth inning
KT beat the NC Dinos 7-6 at home in Suwon thanks to Park Byung-ho’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Trailing 3-6, KT tied the game at 6-6 in the bottom of the sixth inning on Moon Sang-chul’s three-run blast with runners on second and third.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, KT scored the final run of the game.
Ahn Chi-young led off with a single to right and Anthony Alford followed with a wild pitch to put runners on first and second.
Park Byung-ho took advantage of NC closer Lee Yong-chan’s first-pitch forkball and lined a single to left field to end the game. It was Byung-ho Park’s seventh career game-winning hit.
Ian McKinney pitches six innings of three-hit shutout for first KBO win
Ian McKinney, who replaced Eric Yokishi in the Kiwoom Heroes uniform, pitched six innings of three-hit shutout ball against his hometown SSG Landers to earn his first KBO win.
Kiwoom won 6-3 thanks to McKinney’s performance.
McKinney, who took the loss in his KBO debut against the Doosan Bears on 25 March after giving up two runs on five hits in four innings, pitched a “no-hitter” in his second start to earn the win.
McKinney was only in trouble once.
In the top of the fourth inning, McKinney gave up a leadoff double to Choi Jung in left field. Guillermo Heredia grounded out to shortstop, but Park gave up an infield single to shortstop to put runners on first and third.
McKinney then got Choi Ji-hoon to ground out to shortstop to end the inning without a run, as Kang’s well-hit ball was lucky to land in front of the second baseman.
Kiwoom is still 2-9 against SSG this season, but McKinney’s appearance put an end to the SSG nightmare.
