“I was moved by the hyungs’ play… ”
LG captain Oh Ji-hwan (33) started as shortstop 5 in the 9th game of the season against Doosan in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 29th, leading the team to an overtime comeback victory with 2 hits and 1 RBI in 5 at-bats.
Oh Ji-hwan, who reported his first hit with a heavy hit in the 6th inning, reported the second hit at the most important moment. In the 10th inning of overtime, with a score of 6-6, he appeared from 1 out and 3 base, and hit an exquisite 1 RBI double against Doosan finisher Hong Kun-hee. The ball, which bounced wide, hit the glove of third baseman Heo Gyeong-min and was lucky to flow in front of the left fielder, and it became the final hit of the day.
Oh Ji-hwan laughed after the match, saying, “It’s really hard.” The players did not give up until the end, and good results came out.”메이저놀이터
When asked about the secret of his final stroke, he mentioned veteran seniors one by one. Oh Ji-hwan said, “I was moved by the last at-bat. (Heo) Do-hwan, the best player in today’s game, made a sacrifice bunt in a difficult situation for his brother, and (Kim) Hyun-soo also slid from second base after hitting a double. Seeing him like that, he thought that he had to save a chance somehow.”
With the victory on this day, LG succeeded in winning 3 in a row after losing 5 in a row and definitely changed the atmosphere. After barely breaking a five-game losing streak with a 9-6 victory over Suwon KT on the 27th, they met Doosan, who had the highest win rate in July, and won two consecutive victories on the 28th and 29th. LG has maintained the No. 1 position for over a month since the Incheon SSG game on the 27th of last month.
Behind that was the captain’s advice to lead the team’s unity. Oh Ji-hwan said, “Certainly, it was difficult to do anything during the losing streak. He always made one mistake that he could have made, but during the losing streak, that kind of thing came a lot,” he said. He said to continue the winning streak, but it led to such good results,” he said with a satisfied smile.
