“It was a game that felt like it would happen once.”
The NC Dinos won 14-1 against the LG Twins in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League on May 25 at NC Park in Changwon.
NC took an early lead in the game. In the top of the first inning, Jason Martin, Kwon Hee-dong, and Do Tae-hoon hit consecutive RBI singles to take a 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the third, Kim Joo-won hit an RBI double, followed by Ahn Jung-yeol’s RBI single and Son As-seob’s RBI double to extend the lead to seven runs. In the bottom of the fourth, Kim Joo-won hit a three-run double and came home on a throwing error by shortstop Son Ho-young.
NC had all of its starters hit in the third inning and all of its starters scored by the end of the fourth inning. It was the first time this season that every starter had a hit and scored. Martin’s two-run homer in the fifth and Ahn Jung-yeol’s one-run shot in the sixth put the game away.
“It was one of those games that will come around once in a while (during the season). I think the hitters were very focused from the beginning. I think it was important that we attacked aggressively.” “I think we were ready in the hitting department. When you get into unfavorable counts, it’s hard because Choi’s changeup is so good. That’s why I decided to be more aggressive.”
NC, which is challenging for the winning series against LG, lined up in the order of Son Asub (designated hitter), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Park Gun-woo (right fielder), Martin (center fielder), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Do Tae-hoon (first baseman), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), Kim Joo-won (shortstop), and Ahn Jung-yeol (catcher). It’s the same lineup as the day before. The starting pitcher is Tanner Tullida.
Tanner wore the NC uniform as a substitute foreign pitcher. In two appearances, he went 1-0 with a record of 12 innings pitched, six runs (four earned), a 3.00 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.17.
“Tanner is definitely a guy who has a lot of confidence. His changeup is high quality. His slider against lefties is a sweeper, and I think that’s the best of his pitches,” said Kang. “If he’s operating well, he definitely has the advantage of being able to extend his innings.”토토사이트
“I think the fastball will show its true colors as I play more games. ”I think it’s an adjustment period right now,” he said. “There are times in the first inning where I don’t have my velocity, and I’m seeing how I prepare in the bullpen. I think we’re going to have to watch and talk about it to make sure we’re moving in the best direction possible.”
