Hong lamented a defensive lapse by starter Kim Sun-ki in the fifth inning after his side lost their fourth straight game in 12 extra innings to Hanwha the previous day .Kim induced Hanwha’s Lee Do-yoon to ground out to second base with runners on first and second in the bottom of the fifth inning with the score 2-1, but the ball slipped out of his glove as he made the catch after covering first base .In the meantime, Han scored the tying run, and in the ensuing at-bat, he was hit by a two-run double. “If it wasn’t for the mistake in the fifth inning, Kim would have had a 바카라사이트 long inning,” said Hong. It was unfortunate that he made the mistake.”
