"Ahn Woo-jin fulfilled his role as an ace."
Head coach Hong Won-ki's Kiwoom Heroes snapped a three-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over the Samsung Lions of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League on Friday at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu. Kiwoom earned its ninth win of the season after starter Ahn Woo-jin pitched six innings of seven-hit ball, striking out one and walking two.

The bullpen of Kim Jae-woong, Lee Myung-jong, Moon Sung-hyun, and Lim Chang-min followed with three innings of two-run ball. There was a crisis in the ninth inning with a fielding error, but closer Lim Chang-min made a clean save. After the game, Coach Hong Won-ki said, "Ahn Woo-jin fulfilled her role as an ace. She and Kim Xiang, who formed the battery, had a great chemistry and locked down the opponent's bats until the sixth inning. Kim Xiang did a great job not only defensively but also offensively," he said. "The bullpen did their part as well, closing out the inning with minimal runs in a very tiring situation." The offense responded with six runs on eight hits in the second inning alone. Ronnie Dawson went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a hit by pitch and a run scored, while Lee Ju-hyung added three hits. Catcher Kim Xiang recorded his first career multi-hit game. Kim Hye-sung, the league's top hitter, had two hits on the day to reach 150 hits for the third consecutive season. Kim Hwijip and Kim Soo-hwan also 카지노 combined for four RBIs. Kim Soo-hwan hit a cool home run on the day of his call-up to the first team. The Kiwoom bats combined for 14 hits on the day. Hong said, "On offense, Kim Soo-hwan's two-run shot set the tone for the team. The subsequent batters were also focused at every opportunity, which helped us score a lot of runs early in the game." Kiwoom announced Ariel Furado as the 26th starter. Samsung will look to bounce back with Baek Jung-hyun.
