[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Kim Hee-joon = Kiwoom Heroes defeated the Lotte Giants in a cluttered atmosphere where the game was suspended for over an hour due to rain and two players were sent off.
Kiwoom won 7-6 after an extended bloody battle against Lotte in the 2023 Shinhan Bank Sol KBO League at Sajik Stadium on the 23rd.
The match that day was chaos itself.
The game, which started at 5:00 p.m., ended at 11:10 p.m., 6 hours and 10 minutes later.
In the beginning of the 6th inning, while Kiwoom was attacking, it rained and the game was stopped for 1 hour and 26 minutes. The game, which was stopped at 7:26 p.m., resumed at 8:52 p.m.
The game went into overtime with both teams tied at 6-6.
In addition, Lotte coach Larry Sutton and Kiwoom veteran hitter Lee Yong-gyu were ejected side by side.
In the beginning of the 5th inning, Shim Jae-min, the pitcher who had changed from 1st and 2nd base, gave Kiwoom’s Ronnie Dawson a straight walk, and then Sutton came out to the ground to protest the referee’s decision on a ball strike. Sutton, who continued to protest despite the referee’s first warning, was eventually ejected.
The game was suspended due to rain, and right after it resumed, Lee Yong-gyu was sent off.
At the beginning of the 6th inning, the game resumed from the situation where Kiwoom continued to have a chance with 1 company, 1st and 2nd base, and Lee Yong-gyu, who was digesting his at-bat before the game was stopped, entered the plate.
Lee Yong-gyu put his bat on Koo Seung-min’s forkball on the 4th pitch in the ball count 2-1 strike and stopped. When the referee declared a strike on the ball that seemed to have fallen outward, Lee Yong-gyu protested vehemently.
Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki jumped out and quickly stopped it, and Lee Yong-gyu, who continued to bat, hit a fly ball to center fielder. Lee Yong-gyu, who was returning to the dugout, had another conflict with the referee. Eventually, the referee gave the order to leave.
Coach Sutton and Lee Yong-gyu’s exit are the 14th and 15th this season. The departure of the coach is the 6th issue of this season.
The long and messy game ended with Kiwoom scoring the winning goal in the 10th overtime.
