Native right-hander Ace Ahn Woo-jin saved Kiwoom Heroes from a crisis due to good pitching.
Kiwoom won 1-0 in a home game against KT Wiz in the 2023 professional baseball KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 25th.
It was a game where starting pitcher Ahn Woo-jin’s excellent pitches shone. Prior to this match against KT, he was posting good results with an average ERA of 1.08 (25 innings, 3 runs) in four starts, and he showed good pitching content on this day as well. Until the beginning of the 6th inning, he did not give up a single hit to KT, and in the beginning of the 7th, the no-hit streak was broken with a left-handed hit by Anthony Alford, but the inning was also blocked with no runs.
He passed the ball to follow-up pitcher Kim Dong-hyuk in the top of the 8th inning, when the team was leading 1-0, and as Kiwoom won as it was, he won his 2nd win (1st loss) of the season.
An Woo-jin boasted an overwhelming pitch from the beginning of the first inning. Kim Min-hyeok (left fielder fly), Kang Baek-ho (second baseman grounder), and Alford (strikeout) were put to rest one after another, and the game started happily with a tripartite retreat. At the beginning of the second inning, Park Byeong-ho and Jang Seong-woo struck out in succession and then gave Moon Sang-cheol a walk, but Oh Yun-seok was treated as a center fielder fly and the inning ended. 토토사이트
After catching Lee Sang-ho with a ground ball to second baseman in the top of the 3rd inning, Ahn Woo-jin, who got an out count against Kim Sang-soo and Kim Min-hyeok in succession, continued to fight well in the top of the 4th inning. After leading Kang Baek-ho to the second baseman grounder, he allowed Alford to go on base due to a shortstop throwing error, and even committed a wild throw to advance to the second base, but it did not collapse. After striking out Park Byeong-ho, Jang Sung-woo led shortstop grounder and did not concede.
