The Samsung Lions, who have been competing for the lead by boasting home runs and the strength of their batters, are 2 wins and 2 losses this week as their batters have slowed down a bit.
Samsung, whose away game against KT Wiz was canceled due to rain on the 12th, gave up the game 3-5 with only five hits in the first game against KT.
Samsung, which recorded the winning series with 2-1 wins against SSG Landers in a three-game series during the week, showed off its firepower by winning 7-3 in the first game, but in the next two games, they scored only one point and three points, respectively.
In the two games that extended into extra time, Samsung was left with 10 hits in Wednesday's game, when it lost 1-3, but failed to draw points except for Koo Ja-wook's home run, and remained on seven hits in Thursday's game, when it won with a walk-off hit.
Above all, the injury gap of leadoff Kim Ji-chan is drawing the most attention as the reason why Samsung's lineup has slowed down.
Kim Ji-chan, who had 17 hits in 11 games and a batting average close to 400, has been excluded from the first team due to a hamstring injury since Hanwha's showdown on the 4th.
Samsung, which is disappointed that Kim Ji-chan was absent due to injury, is comforting that Koo Ja-wook, who had been slow for a while, recovered.
Koo Ja-wook, who couldn't get any hits in his 18th at-bat in four games from the away game against the KIA Tigers to the three consecutive games against Hanwha on the 3rd, had hits in four consecutive games including the SSG match and KT match. 토토사이트
Koo Ja-wook, who has had hits in all four games, has recovered from his deep slump by shooting two home runs.
Samsung, which seems to need more batters to compete for the top spot, aims to win and recover its batting sense at the same time in its showdown with KT on the 13th.
