'Crazy time difference' Juruda.
On the 25th, KIA Champions Field in Gwangju. Kia shortstop Park Chan-ho, who has been on fire this season, shined with his footwork. Park Chan-ho started at first base and hit a slider from Ricardo Sanchez to right field in the fifth inning. It showed the progression of Park's hitting skills this season. It was a foreshadowing. One out later, Na walked and stole second base on a 1B1S pitch. Sanchez put a fastball in play, but he made an exquisite throw to second. There was no need to overdo it with Na at the plate. Plus, Sanchez is a lefty. On a full count, Na was fooled by Sanchez's one-bound slider. However, the ball hit catcher Choi Jae-hoon's mitt and trickled toward the backstop. Second baseman Park Chan-ho quickly stole third, but Han was unable to follow up. Chan-ho Park stepped on third base, paused for a moment, and then ran straight home for the safe. Sanchez should have been able to back up home in one inning, but failed to do so. Although Choi Hyung-woo's two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning gave KIA a valuable run, Park Chan-ho's run in the fifth inning was very important given that the game had been tied at one in the top of the seventh. Chan-ho Park is going for his first triple and Golden Glove at shortstop this season. It's a goal he's had in the back 토토 of his mind for a long time, but until now, baseball hasn't worked out in his favor. However, since last year, he has opened his eyes to hitting and is now recognized as the best shortstop in the game. Manager Kim Jong-kook said there were still a lot of games ahead of the game, and urged Park Chan-ho to focus on the team and not worry about the Golden Glove. Park Chan-ho also showed his team-first mentality with this single run. It was an uplifting game that made both the KIA fans and coach Kim Jong-guk proud. After the game, Park said, "The home rush in the fifth inning was not planned. I saw the position of the opposing defense and thought the timing would be right, so I took a chance. There was a little distance between me and the catcher, so I made a split-second decision that led to the extra run. The extra run came at a crucial time, which made it even more valuable. If I had a similar opportunity next time, I wouldn't hesitate to try it."
