Moon Sang-cheol hit a timely hit that decided the game in the 9th inning of a 2-2 match against the LG Twins in the first game of the 2023 Professional Baseball KS held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 7th.

On this day, Moon Sang-cheol made the worst attack in the top of the second inning when the team was down 1-2.

He bunted at first and second base with no outs due to an opponent's error and a hit to the left of the batting table, and the batted ball landed right in front of the catcher.

It was an obvious mistake.

LG threw the ball from 3rd base to 1st base and got 2 outs, and in the meantime, the runner on first base was caught running to 3rd base after passing 2nd base, resulting in a triple kill.

It was the second triple kill from KS in professional baseball history.

In fact, Moon Sang-cheol was traumatized by the bunt.

He failed to bunt a squeeze at 1st and 3rd base with no outs in the bottom of the 9th inning in the second game of the playoffs against the NC Dinos, and in Game 3, he attempted a bunt at 1st and 1st base with no outs in the 4th inning, but failed and struck out.

KT coach Lee Kang-cheol also blamed himself, saying, “Moon Sang-cheol bunted well during training, but I think I stressed him out.”

Moon Sang-cheol, who made a bunt mistake in KS following PO, could not raise his head.

Moon Sang-cheol’s mentality was greatly shaken.

In his second at-bat in the top of the 5th inning with the score tied 2-2, he struck out the opposing team's starting pitcher Casey Kelly on a missed swing, and in the 7th inning, with one out and runners on first and second base, he struck out again on a missed swing against pitcher Lee Jeong-yong, who was replaced.

However, Moon Sang-cheol did not sit down.

Manager Lee Kang-cheol did not use a pinch hitter to give the team a chance to make amends, and Moon Sang-cheol lived up to manager Lee's trust.

In the top of the 9th inning, with the game tied 2-2, with 2 outs and runners on first base, he hit a timely double against opposing starting pitcher Ko Woo-seok that went over the left fielder's height.

With a ball count of 2 balls and 2 strikes, he cleared the curve on the 6th pitch and made a long hit. https://stocktwits.com/cristellecruzfour

KT defeated LG 3-2 with Moon Sang-cheol's timely hitting and took the first game against KS.

It was a game that started with Moon Sang-cheol and ended with Moon Sang-cheol.
