‘Cuevas Fights Back and Batting Lineup Explodes’ KT Wins 2 After 2 Losses… PO 5th Round Final Match

Cuevas, who took the mound after three days of rest, pitched 6 scoreless innings, and the Daily MVP batting lineup had 14 hits, including 3 home runs.

The KT pitching staff made up for an error with a home run by Hwang Jae-gyun, allowing no runs in 22 consecutive innings.

Highest number of consecutive clean sheets tied by POs of all time, highest number of single POs.

The KT Wiz batting lineup responded with a hard hit to the fighting spirit of William Cuevas, who took the mound after resting for three days.

KT defeated NC Dinos 11-2 in the 4th game of the professional baseball 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Postseason Playoffs (PO) held at Changwon NC Park on the 3rd.

KT, which had been pushed to the brink after losing the first and second games in its home Suwon, won the third and fourth games in a row in Changwon, taking PO's record of three wins out of five to the fifth game. https://www.casinositewiki.com

Game 5 will be held at Suwon KT Wiz Park at 2pm on the 5th.

The main character of the victory was definitely Cuevas.

Cuevas, who started in Game 1 of PO on October 30th and threw 75 balls, allowing 6 hits (1 home run) and 7 runs (4 earned) in 3 innings, suffered a loss, and took the mound in Game 4 of PO after only three days of rest.

Although he did not have enough time to recover physically, Cuevas succeeded in regaining his honor by throwing a mixture of four-seam fastballs (fastballs), two-seam fastballs, and cut fastballs with a maximum speed of 150 km per hour.

Cuevas had the misfortune of having Son Ah-seop, the first batter, get on base in the bottom of the first inning due to a catching error by KT third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun, but he pitched 6 innings, allowing 1 hit and no runs, including 17 consecutive batters.

Cuevas, who was the losing pitcher in Game 1, won the starting game in Game 4, was selected as Daily MVP, and received 1 million won in prize money.

The KT batting line scored 11 runs with 14 hits, including 3 home runs.

First batter Kim Sang-soo, who got on base with a ball that hit his body in the top of the first inning, stole second base, and reached third base due to NC catcher Kim Hyeong-jun's throwing error.

With one out and runners on first and third base following Anthony Alford's walk, Byung-ho Park hit a timely hit with an RBI that hit the right fence.

It was 1st and 3rd bases with 1 out and runners on third base again, and when Jang Seong-woo's short-distance fly ball to center field, 3rd base runner Alford boldly dug into the groove and scored an additional point. https://www.geogebra.org/p/GAeqHrNVyZ

NC coach Kang In-kwon brought in Lee Jae-hak when starting pitcher Song Myeong-ki (3 hits and 4 runs in 1⅓ innings) was in danger with one out and second and third bases in the top of the second inning.

However, Jaehak Lee contributed 1 point with a wild pitch.

With Kim Sang-soo on base on a walk and runners on first and third base with one out, Jae-gyun Hwang added one point with a double that flew toward the left wall.

In the 3rd inning, KT also created an opportunity with one out and 2nd and 3rd bases thanks to hits by Jang Seong-woo and Oh Yun-seok.

During Oh Yoon-seok's missed hit, NC center fielder Jason Martin's throw toward the infield went over the height of first baseman Oh Young-soo, who was covering second base, and what should have been first and third base became second and third base.

KT, who got a lucky opportunity due to the opponent's clumsy play that was not recorded as an error, added 2 points with Bae Jeong-dae's heavy, timely hit.

In the 4th inning, Hwang Jae-gyun, who appeared as the leadoff hitter, drew a solo arch that went over the left wall.

It was a shot to make up for a catching error in the bottom of the first inning.

After 2 outs in the 4th inning, Jang Seong-woo fired a solo shot, and KT scored 2 points each in the 1st to 4th innings to advance to 8-0.

NC broke the 'no-hit chain' with Son Ah-seop's left-handed hit only after two outs in the sixth inning.

In the bottom of the 8th inning, when KT ran away to 11-0 thanks to Alford's solo shot, Oh Young-soo's double to left field and Seo Ho-cheol's left-field hit put the team on 1st and 3rd base without any outs, and Park Se-hyuk's timely hit to left broke the silence of 0.

Son Ah-seop's timely hit to the left added one point. https://textup.fr/755496in

However, the pendulum had already completely swung in favor of KT.

From the 4th inning of Game 2 to the 7th inning of Game 4, kt continued its streak of 22 consecutive scoreless innings, setting a 'tie record for most consecutive innings scoreless in PO history' and 'a new record for most consecutive innings scoreless by a single PO.'

It matched the Doosan Bears' record of 22 consecutive innings from PO Game 2 in 2005 to PO Game 2 in 2007, and broke the 1993 LG Twins' record of 20 consecutive scoreless innings against the Samsung Lions from Games 2 to 5 in a single PO.

After putting NC's batting line to rest, KT moves to its home Suwon, dreaming of a 'reverse sweep'.
