Oh Sun-jin (36) of the Kiwoom Heroes in professional baseball hit a timely hit in the 10th inning of extra time, leading the team to escape its third consecutive loss.

Oh Sun-jin played as a substitute against SSG Landers in the "2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League" at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 26th and scored two hits, one RBI and one run in two at-bats.메이저놀이터

Oh Sun-jin, who was deployed at shortstop in the bottom of the sixth inning, hit a double at the first batter's box with one out in the top of the eighth inning when Kiwoom was losing 0-1, and quickly entered the scoring position. Bae Sang-kwon, a pinch hitter, was caught on a ground ball to the shortstop, but Song Sung-moon hit a timely RBI single, bringing the game back to square one. Oh succeeded in tying the game.

Oh Sun-jin, who took the batter's box for the second time in the 10th inning with one out and a runner on the second base, became the winner of the game with a timely RBI. Thanks to Oh's performance, Kiwoom won 2-1 and escaped three consecutive losses.

In an interview after the game, Oh Sun-jin said, "I was put in early for today's game. Thanks to this, I came to bat twice, and I feel good because I feel like I helped my team win both at-bats."

Regarding the at-bat that hit the final hit in the 10th inning of extra time, Oh Sun-jin explained, "Rather than thinking that I must do something, I thought it would be good to hit it that way because the gap between the first and second bases looked wide. The ball just came out, and I hit it lightly as if I was just making contact, but the course was good, so it led to a good result."

"It's not that it means a lot to me, but it's more important that the team was able to win in overtime in a difficult situation," Oh Sun-jin said. "If you win in overtime like this, your team's morale will increase significantly. It's important to have confidence that you can win consecutive games tomorrow. I hope we get good results tomorrow as well."

Oh Sun-jin, who led his team to escape consecutive losses with three hits while losing two consecutive games against Doosan on the 22nd, said, "I think such a situation is coming to me a lot this year. So far, I've got good results, but I hope I can continue to get good results in the future."

Oh Sun-jin, who said, "The recent hitting is good in my own way," explained his recent performance, "I try to maintain the hitting sense by concentrating when I hit practice. I'm practicing thinking about why I'm good now, and I think it continues well even after the second half of the game."

Oh Sun-jin made a regrettable catch error with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning. However, closer Joo Seung-woo did not falter and fouled Jihoon Choi to third base to end the game.

"I've been thinking that the ball would come to me at the second out," Oh said. "But it really hit me. I thought I should kill the ball, but it turned out to be shorter than I thought. I should have gone in more. It was too bad," Oh said, expressing regret. "Still, I trusted Seung-woo. If you're a closer, you should block him even in such a situation. Wouldn't that be team play? That's my selfish idea," he said, expressing his gratitude to Joo for blocking the game well.

Kiwoom, which is rebuilding this season, has a difficult start in the early days of this season. It is ranked 10th in the league with 10 wins and 20 losses and a .333 winning percentage. "Players work really hard and try to win every game, but it doesn't seem to be going well," Oh said. "It's a shame and I feel bad about it. However, I think I will be able to rebound well from May with today's game," Oh said. "I came to this team in search of a new opportunity and am playing baseball happily. Since I am well aware of my position in the team, I will try to play baseball steadily while helping other players."
