The Hanwha Eagles and the SK Wyverns took early leads in the Korean Baseball
Organization League with their two-game sweeps over the weekends.
The Wyverns managed a 9-6 come-from-behind win over the Hyundai Unicorns
in Inchon, making eight runs over the last two innings to get over a 6-1
deficit.
Kazuhiko Shiotani, the first Japanese import infielder, was again stellar
by smacking a walk-out three-run home run off Unicorns closer Hwang Doo-sung.
Shiotani, who went for 3-for-5 with four RBIs in the day, also produced all
the runs including a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-0 victory.
Scoring the opening run off a wild pitch by Wyverns starter Kim Won-hyung
in the third, Unicorns widened the gap to 5-0 in the fifth as Larry Sutton
and Lee Soong-yong hit back-to-back home runs.
After exchanging one more run in the next two frames, the Wyverns' batters
all of a sudden went furious in the eighth to equalize the score at six
combined with two home runs by Calvin Pickering and Park Jae-jong. Shiotani
made a dramatic finishing touch with a final slugging effort off Unicorns
closer Hwang Doo-sung in the ninth.
In Taejon, Hanwha denied the Kia Tigers 5-3 in their second straight win
as Koo Dae-sung, who returned to the league after a five-year overseas
career, had saves in both matches.
Following a 1 1/3 shut innings on Saturday, Koo, 37, allowed three hits
over the same amount of innings but managed to keep the Tigers off the
board.
Han Ki-joo, this season's biggest rookie hurler, suffered a loss in his
first pro-league outing surrendering five runs on six hits, including a
two-run home run by Lee Beom-ho in the fourth inning. Jang Sung-ho hit
solo home runs in two straight at-bats but it was not good enough to rally.
In Taegu, the Samsung Lions had sweet revenge against the Lotte Giants
with a 6-5 edge.
The home team battered Giants starter Jang Won-joon hard from the beginning.
They produced four runs in the opening frame on two hits, one walk and one
fielding error with no outs, and never trailed the Giants, who scored all
their runs from three home runs, including back-to-backs by Chong Soo-keun
and Brian Myrow in the third.
In Seoul, starter Lee Seung-ho displayed a dominant form to lift the LG
Twins to a 6-4 win against the Doosan Bears. The lefty Lee allowed one
run on one hit over 5 2/3 innings, while striking out nine.
