The Hanwha Eagles of professional baseball broke their two-game losing streak by defeating the Doosan Bears.

Hanwha won 7-1 against Doosan in the 2024 Shinhan Solbank KBO League match held at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 3rd.

Hanwha, which won five straight games against Doosan and snapped a two-game losing streak, maintained its 6th place with a record of 58 wins, 2 draws, and 63 losses.

On the other hand, 4th place Doosan, which has lost 4 games in a row, has 64 wins, 2 draws, and 64 losses, narrowing the gap with 5th place KT Wiz (62 wins, 2 draws, 63 losses) to 0.5 games.

Hanwha Eagles starting pitcher Moon Dong-joo led the team to victory with a great performance. He pitched well, striking out eight batters in six innings and allowing only four hits and one run.

Moon Dong-ju earned his 7th win (7 losses) of the season with this performance. It has been about a year since he became the winning pitcher in a home game against Doosan on August 12, 2023.

In the batting lineup, leadoff hitter Moon Hyun-bin hit a reverse 3-run home run in the 5th inning, going 3 hits and 3 RBIs in 5 at-bats. Noh Si-hwan played the role of the 4th hitter well, going 3 hits and 2 RBIs in 3 at-bats.

Doosan Bears starter Choi Won-jun was the losing pitcher after allowing 7 hits (1 home run) and 3 runs in 4⅓ innings. It was his 7th loss (5 wins) of the season.

The game was tied 0-0 until the 4th inning, but things got a little crazy in the 5th inning.

Doosan scored first. In the top of the fifth, Kang Seung-ho and Heo Gyeong-min hit consecutive hits, putting runners on first and second base with one out, and Lee Yu-chan hit a left-center RBI single.

Hanwha turned the game around with a home run in the next attack.

In the bottom of the 5th, Jang Jin-hyeok and Lee Do-yoon’s consecutive hits and Choi Jae-hoon’s sacrifice bunt created 1 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd. Moon Hyun-bin, who came up to bat next, hit a 3-run home run (his 5th of the season) over the left-center field fence, leading Hanwha to a 3-1 comeback.

Hanwha added another run with a home run in the 6th inning. In the bottom of the 6th, leadoff hitter Noh Si-hwan hit a center-field hit, and the next batter Chae Eun-seong hit a left-field two-run home run (his 18th of the season).

In the bottom of the 7th, with one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd base thanks to Moon Hyun-bin’s double and Ahn Chi-hong’s hit, Noh Si-hwan hit a 2-RBI triple to right field, making the score 7-1 and solidifying the victory.
