Korean athletes will receive pre-training camps and meal support at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The Korea Olympic Committee (KOC) announced that it signed a lease agreement with Citesport, the management agency of the French Center for National Defense Sports (CNSD), in Paris, France, on Monday (June 1).

The agency will operate the pre-training camp and catering support center for Korean athletes during the Paris Olympics.

It is the first time in 12 years since the London 2012 Olympics that the KOC has organized both a pre-training camp and a catering support center at an Olympic Games.

The agreement will allow the Korean athletes to train at the CNSD training camp.

The CNSD is a French military sports training facility that includes a state-of-the-art gymnasium with indoor track and field, as well as a dedicated kitchen and dining hall.

The KOC will dispatch nutritionists and culinary staff from the Jincheon National Athletes’ Village to provide Korean and nutritious boxed lunches to the athletes and coaches at the training camp and athletes’ village.

“The Korean athletes achieved excellent results (5th place overall) at the 2012 London Olympics, where we operated a pre-training camp and catering center,” said Jang Jae-geun, head of the National Athletes’ Village, who attended the signing ceremony. “We will do our best to support the national athletes so that they can focus on their training at the Paris Olympics.” 파워볼사이트

Professional basketball team Goyang Sono has traded Kim Se-chang and acquired Cho Eun-hoo.

The KBL announced on the 1st that “Sono and Anyang Jungkwanjang traded Kim Se-chang and Jo Eun-hoo”.

The trade was made in response to Sono’s request to add backup resources to ease the physical strain on Lee Jung-hyun.

Guard Cho Eun-hoo will be reunited with her first professional coach, Sono head coach Kim Seung-ki.

After leading the collegiate league in assists at Sungkyunkwan University, Cho was selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2021 KBL Rookie Draft by Kim Seung-ki, who was then the head coach of Chung’s predecessor, Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation.

Cho made her professional debut in the 2021-2022 season with Jung Kwanjang, appearing in nine games and averaging 2.5 points and 1.4 assists.

However, he only appeared in two games last season and hasn’t seen the court since the first round match against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis this season.

“Jo Eun-hoo is a player with excellent passing skills based on reading and wide vision, and her defense is also strong, so she will be a great addition to our backup guard lineup,” said Sono head coach Kim Seung-ki through the club.

“Although she has a weakness in outside shooting, she can be covered in other areas and her shooting can be sufficiently compensated through training,” he said.

Guard Kim made his professional debut with the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in 2019, and has been playing for SONO’s predecessor, the Goyang Orion, since the 2020-2021 season.

In his professional career, Kim averaged 1.7 points and 0.8 assists in 48 games. 토토사이트

The Korean baseball organization KT Wiz has filled eight of its lineup with right-handed hitters, with one exception, to face NC Dinos ace Eric Peddy, who will be making his first appearance in 14 days.

KT manager Lee Kang-cheol unveiled a batting lineup consisting of Kim Sang-soo (shortstop), Hwang Jae-gyun (third baseman), Anthony Alford (left fielder), Park Byung-ho (first baseman), Jang Sung-woo (catcher), Cho Yong-ho (right fielder), Moon Sang-chul (designated hitter), Bae Jeong-dae (center fielder), and Park Kyung-soo (second baseman) 온라인카지노 ahead of the first game of the playoffs (best-of-five) against NC at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon, South Korea, on April 30.

All of them are right-handed hitters except Choi Soo-ho.

The reason for the right-handed batting lineup is due to the absence of two left-handed hitters, Kang Baek-ho, who injured his side, and Kim Min-hyuk, who still has a sore thigh, but Lee explained that KT’s right-handed hitters hit Pedi’s ball better.

Despite only facing Pedi a few times, most of the KT right-handers went 1-for-3. Alford was the most successful, going 5-for-8 with two home runs.

“When Kim Min-hyuk was out, Kim Sang-soo was good as the number one hitter with a high on-base percentage,” Lee said. “When we looked at the scoring probability in the data, we often got caught in the third or eighth inning in the fourth or fifth inning, so we used the eighth spot in the batting order considering the game plan.”

“The pitchers will be well-rested, but I think the flow of NC’s hitters, who hit so well in the semifinals, will not be broken,” Lee said cautiously, referring to the fact that NC will enter the playoffs with four days off after finishing the semifinals in three games on May 25.

NC manager Kang In-hwa said that Pedi, who spent two weeks rehabbing after being hit in the right forearm by a Kia Tigers’ Ko Jong-wook on the 16th, has made a full recovery.

“I can’t set the number of pitches, but it can be up to 100,” Kang said, adding, “I will decide the number of pitches after seeing the game situation.”

Lee Jae-hak, who was hit on the back of his right hand by a strong hit from SSG’s Oh Tae-gon in the third game of the semifinals on the 25th, did not show any discomfort in the catching game, but he hasn’t thrown yet in the bullpen, so Kang added that he will decide whether to pitch on the day after seeing how he throws.

Kang, who used left-handed bullpen pitchers such as Choi Sung-young and Kim Young-gyu in the semifinals against SSG, said he will rely on the right-handed trio in the playoffs against KT, which is loaded with experienced right-handed hitters.

Kim Si-hoon, Lee Jun-ho, and Lee Yong-jun, who have performed well against KT hitters, will receive the baton.

NC will face Cuevas in the order of Son Asub (designated hitter), Park Min-woo (second base), Park Geon-woo (right field), Jason Martin (center field), Kwon Hee-dong (left field), Seo Ho-chul (third base), Oh Young-soo (first base), Kim Hyung-joon (catcher) and Kim Joo-won (shortstop). 바카라사이트

Woori Won-woo, the head coach of the Asan Woori Bank women’s professional basketball team, responded to the criticism of Korea’s women’s basketball team’s lack of international competitiveness by saying that “structural issues” cannot be overlooked.

In her view, the issue of international competitiveness cannot be separated from environmental aspects such as infrastructure.

“I’m not in a position to say to the players, ‘You’re not competitive,'” Wee said in response to a question about international competitiveness at the opening media day of the 2023-2024 women’s professional basketball season at Hotel Rivera in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on Tuesday afternoon.

“In Asia, we’re going up against Japan and China in international competitions, and I know we only have 19 high school girls’ basketball teams. “As a coach, I also have a lot of concerns about creating competitive players, but there are also a lot of obstacles in the environment,” he said.

“I think the players work really hard in international competitions. When we were ranked first in Asia, our infrastructure was good,” he said. “Nowadays, I ask the players why they can’t do as well as they did against Japan and China, and I think it’s because of the small size of the team,” he analyzed.

“The players may not see it as a good thing that the only medal they won this year was a bronze at the (Hangzhou) Asian Games, but if they are encouraged more in this aspect, I believe Korean basketball will achieve good results again in Asia,” he added.

Woo is the “longest-serving coach in women’s basketball,” having led Woori Bank since 2012.

He is considered one of the most prominent coaches in women’s professional basketball, as he needs just 21 more wins to become the first coach in history to reach 300 wins.

Kim Wan-soo of Cheongju KB, a former middle and high school coach, said, “It’s a problem that leaders need to reflect on.” “It may sound like an excuse, but I think it’s because the system or infrastructure is too weak,” he said.

“If there are a lot of players, there will be a lot of good players,” Kim said. “When I go to middle and high school games to select new players, there are often five or six players in a school. Some schools can’t even play because they don’t have five players,” he explained.

“The coaches also have to study a lot, but for example, something can only come out if there are materials, so I think that part is more important,” he added.

The Korean women’s national basketball team finished fifth at the FIBA Asia Cup in July. It was the first year since the tournament’s inception in 1965 that the team did not finish in the top four.

The top four finishers also missed out on the final qualification spot for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

At the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, the team failed to reach the final after a 58-81 semifinal loss to Japan. 슬롯게이밍

Of the 42 players who knocked on the door of the pros, only 20 (47.62%) were selected, less than half.

The Korean Volleyball Organization (KOVO) V-League 2023-2024 Men’s Rookie Draft, held at Mayfield Hotel in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, ended with the lowest employment rate in history.

This is the first time that less than half of the men’s draft has been selected. The employment rate was even lower than the previous 56.25 percent (9 out of 16) in the 2005-2006 season.

Samsung Fire and KB Insurance utilized their draft picks from trades to select five players each, while OK Financial Group selected three, Woori Card, KEPCO, and Hyundai Capital two, and Korean Air only one.

The managers of the professional clubs, who are “volleyball seniors” who are familiar with the situation of their clubs not being able to pick more rookies, felt mixed feelings but soberly diagnosed the current situation.

First of all, they judged that the performance of college and high school volleyball has declined somewhat in recent years.

“Our team currently has 14 domestic players, and we’re rebuilding the team, so we’ve recruited a lot of rookies,” said Kim Sang-woo, head coach of Samsung Fire, “but it’s difficult to put players who played in college and high school right away. There is a big gap between professional and college volleyball.”

“It’s really unfortunate that more than half of the players who participated in this draft were not selected,” said Hoo In-jung, head coach of KB Insurance. “To be honest, the quality of college volleyball is lower than before.”

There were seven college graduates (fourth-year students) selected in the draft. As the culture of going pro before graduating from college has become “mainstream,” the quality of college volleyball has declined.

Of course, there’s no reason to discourage players from going pro early.

“The entire volleyball world should have in-depth discussions to improve the performance of college volleyball,” Hu suggested.

Choi Tae-woong, head coach of Hyundai Capital, said, “The number of youths playing volleyball has definitely increased. However, the system for discovering promising players is not yet in place,” he said, adding, “Japan (which has risen to the top of the world) teaches the basics when they are in school and only learns tactics in the pros. We learn the basics again when we come to the pros,” he said, pointing to the weakening of the youth elite volleyball scene.

The Asian quota, which was introduced in the 2023-2024 season, helped improve the performance of the V-League, but it also narrowed the space for domestic players.

The addition of foreign players to the existing roster meant that every team had two foreign players in the starting lineup.

Managers have analyzed that Asia Quota has contributed to the lowest employment rate of rookies in the draft.

However, there is no immediate solution to the problem, which has a net function of strengthening the V-League.

The coaches, who are both professional volleyball officials and the elders of younger players, are in deep trouble. 스포츠토토

NC Dinos captain Son Ah-seop (손아섭) met his 2012 playoff teammates for the first time in 11 years.

Son will start as the designated hitter in Game 1 of the playoffs against the KT Wiz at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon on April 30.

For Son, it will be his first PO appearance in 11 years since 2012, when he played for the Lotte Giants. Back then, Lotte was swept by the SK Wyverns (now the SSG Landers) and failed to reach the Korean Series.

Among the teammates who shared the joys and disappointments with Son were third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun (36) and catcher Jang Jang-woo (33), who now wear KT’s uniform.

When they met before Game 1 of the POs, Son had a playful warning for his close former teammates.

“Instead, KT’s starting pitchers have fast slide steps,” Son said, referring to Sung-woo’s low stolen base rate (.146-89, 13 of 89), “and if there is a weakness, you have to dig in. Sung-woo has always competed since elementary school, but it doesn’t work for me,” he said wittily.

“When I go to bat, he (catcher Sung-woo) will definitely talk to me and distract me from concentrating,” Son said, adding, “I’ll just listen in one ear and out the other and go my own way.”

He and Hwang Jae-gyun, who is a year older than him, had a mild nervous battle before the match, saying, “I didn’t know you guys were coming up” (Hwang Jae-gyun) and “Of course I came to get my brothers” (Son Asup).

“We talked a lot (before the game), but we didn’t say anything nice because we’re not really friends,” Son said, adding, “I’m going to win today’s game so I can make fun of Jae Gyun. We don’t usually compliment each other,” he laughed.

Despite being nervous about the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, Son Asob was in a premiere mood.

“Whether it’s the semifinals or the playoffs, it’s just a process to get to the end goal,” he said, adding, “I’m going to keep doing the same thing.”

He didn’t say much to his juniors, saying, “If they get more emotional or talk more because it’s the playoffs, they’ll definitely think more. I don’t want to create that situation at all,” he said, adding, “I want to keep the same pace, one game at a time.” 파워볼분석

KBO Kia Tigers players made inappropriate remarks at an event with fans, and the team’s president Shim Jae-hak apologized.

On the 30th, the official account of the Kia Tigers posted, “We apologize to our fans.”

The team’s president, Shim Jae-hak, wrote, “Hello. This is Shim Jae-hak, president of the Kia Tigers baseball team. I would like to apologize on behalf of the team for the misbehavior of some players at the Tiger Family Hanmadang event held on October 28, and I would like to bow my head and apologize to the fans who support and love the KIA Tigers.”

“To thank our fans for their support this season, we held a high-five event with our players and fans, during which some of our players engaged in behavior that is not appropriate for a professional baseball player.”

“The Kia Tigers take this matter very seriously and recognize our responsibility. We deeply regret this incident and will continue to work on ethics training for our players and do our best to create a culture of respect for our fans.”

“We would like to once again express our sincere apologies to the fans who support the KIA Tigers. Thank you,” he concluded.

Earlier, at the ‘Tiger Family Hanmadang Event’ held on the 28th, a high-five event was held with fans.

However, several players, including Kim Ki-hoon, Hong Won-bin, and Na Yong-ki, were criticized for making comments such as “Do you flirt (with fans)?”, “I only hit pretty people hard”, and “Did you see that?”, “She’s a goddess” after a fan passed by.

The head coach of the team apologized for the controversy, but fans were not pleased.

Netizens also commented, “What are the players who made the remarks doing behind closed doors?”, “Yang Hyun-jong should have smiled and thanked each fan,” and “If it’s an official apology, it should say who said what, why it was wrong, and what they will do in the future”. 토토사이트

Korean baseball was once known as the ‘stage of the 1982 generation’.

Choo Shin-soo (SSG Landers), Lee Dae-ho, Kim Tae-gyun, Jung Geun-woo (retired) and other players of their age who made a ‘mark’ on Korean baseball led the game both at home and abroad.

But the years have not been kind to them either.

Kim Tae-gyun and Jeong Geun-woo said goodbye to baseball in 2020 and Lee Dae-ho in 2022.

Pitcher Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung Lions), born in 1982, has also had his ups and downs this season.

Seung-hwan Oh, the oldest pitcher in the KBO, was relieved of his closer’s duties after an extremely difficult start to the season, with a string of blown saves.

Those around him said, “Oh Seung-hwan is getting old.

There was even talk of Seung-hwan preparing to retire.

He will become a free agent (FA) for the last time this season, and it was expected that he would not be able to overcome the limitations of age and finish his career as it is.

However, in May, Seung-hwan Oh experimented with all sorts of things in order to make a comeback, including pitching as a starter 19 years after his debut.

At the ripe old age of 40, Oh Seung-hwan left all his pride behind and started from the bottom, returning to the closer’s role and impressing fans in June when he became the first Korean-American to record 500 saves.

The 2023 season was full of challenges.

Seung-hwan’s insecurities were still on display, and when he couldn’t find his old form despite all his efforts, his insides burned.

In a game against KT WIZ on 16 June, he nervously threw the ball and slammed his glove in response to the bench’s grating instructions.

Fans were shocked, as Seung-hwan usually doesn’t show his emotions.

Seung-hwan Oh was sent down to the second team, and the word “retirement” surfaced again.

Seung-hwan Oh literally fought to the death. He gritted his teeth, believing that he could make a comeback.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who sent him to the second team, encouraged him, saying, “I heard that he trained harder than anyone else in the second team.”

Oh didn’t give up.

He knew he couldn’t defy time, but he didn’t want to end his career the same way.

He tried everything he could under the circumstances.

Little by little, he started to come back to life. Surprisingly for a 41-year-old, Seung-hwan’s form improved from August, when the heat wave hit.

His body wasn’t what it used to be, but his focus and heart remained the same.

He was back to his old self in August, appearing in 13 games in relief and recording 10 saves.

The upward trend continued. In September, he was outstanding, posting a 1.04 ERA in eight games.

The 400-save milestone in the KBO seemed far away.

In a double-header against the Lotte Giants on the 2nd, he was at his best, closing both games and collecting two saves.

Soon, Oh’s career saves in the KBO reached 399.

The chance to reach 400 saves was not going to come easily.

Against the KT Wiz on the 5th of this month, after leading 5-2, they added a run in the top of the ninth inning to make it a four-run deficit.

Since then, Samsung has lost three straight games and is down to just two games remaining this season.

Seung-hwan Oh doesn’t have much time left. No one was sure if he would be able to keep the closer’s job next year or even stay in the game.

On the 14th, Samsung played its final home game of the season against SSG at Daegu Samsung Lions Park in front of a sold-out crowd of 24,000.

The game was not easy. Samsung was down 1-3 going into the sixth inning.

But the Samsung juniors rallied for Oh Seung-hwan.

In the bottom of the sixth, they scored three runs in dramatic fashion to make it 4-3, and it was up to Seung-hwan to save the game.

Seung-hwan Oh took the mound earlier than usual. In the top of the eighth inning, the tying run was on second base.

His opponent was his friend Choo Shin-soo. Seung-hwan Oh threw a ‘fastball’ on a full count.

Shin-soo Choo reacted, and the ball flew to first base. Samsung’s first baseman Lee Sung-kyu threw himself to make the catch.

Seung-hwan Oh, who was expressionless, smiled and grabbed Lee’s hand.

Seung-hwan Oh was again on the mound in the top of the ninth inning with a 5-3 lead.

With runners on first and second, his pitch count exceeded 30 pitches. But no one could stop him.

He worked a full count against the final batter, Park Sung-hwan, and after striking him out with a straight hit to left field, he hugged catcher Kang Min-ho and smiled broadly.

All the Samsung players went up to the mound to congratulate Oh Seung-hwan. 슬롯사이트

After impressing at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, the Taekwondo Warriors showed no signs of rust at the 104th Jeonnam National Championships and are back in the medal hunt in earnest.

Baek In-chul (23, Busan Jung-gu Office), who won the men’s 50-metre butterfly in Hangzhou with a new Korean record, made his presence felt in Mokpo by setting the first Korean record of the Games.

Baek won the men’s 50-metre butterfly in a new Korean record of 23.15 seconds at the Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province, on Thursday.

He set a new meet record of 23.44 in the preliminaries earlier in the day and then broke the Korean record in the final.

Paik became the first South Korean to win a gold medal in the 50m butterfly at the Hangzhou Asian Games on 28 March, setting a Korean record in both the preliminaries and the final.

This is the fourth time Baek has broken the Korean record this year.

Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Province), who won three medals in Hangzhou, blew away the field in the 1,500m freestyle final with a time of 15:15.75.

Kim suffered from an upset stomach, high fever and body aches due to food poisoning ahead of the event, but battled back to win the gold medal and showcase his Asian Games prowess.

In roller skating in Naju, Chung Byung-hee (Chungbuk Sports Federation), who won gold in the excluded + points (EP) 10,000m in Hangzhou, took silver in the men’s 10,000m excluded event.

His older brother, Jung Byung-kwan, took the gold, making it a family affair.

Jeong Byung-kwan and Jeong Byung-hee will attempt to win multiple titles in the 3,000 metres relay and the 10,000 metres excluded + points (EP) at the Games.

Choi In-ho (Nonsan City Hall), Chung Chul-won (Andong City Hall) and Choi Kwang-ho (Daegu City Hall), who disappointed their fans in the 3,000m relay in Hangzhou by settling for silver after being upset by Chinese Taipei, finished fourth to sixth.

In the men’s general competition, Seo Chang-wan (Jeonnam-do) won the pentathlon with a total of 1,051 points, ahead of Jeon Woong-tae (Gwangju Metropolitan City) with 1,558 points. Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Jeon made up for his disappointment by winning gold in the team event.

In archery, Lee Woo-seok (Kolon), who won the men’s team and mixed team titles in Hangzhou, set a new competition record with a score of 340 from 90 metres in the qualification round.

Archery, which is said to be harder to compete in than the Asian Games and Olympics in domestic competitions, will begin its tournament on the 16th. 안전놀이터

After finishing ninth last year, the Doosan Bears are back in the Korean Baseball Organization postseason for the first time in two years.

Doosan secured at least a fifth-place finish in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League with a 3-2 win over the visiting LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Thursday, marking the final day of autumn baseball.

Chasing Doosan were the KIA Tigers (71 wins, two ties and 69 losses), who were eliminated from postseason contention at sixth place regardless of their remaining games.

Lee “The People’s Hitter” Seung-yeop took over the reins of Doosan and immediately gave the team a postseason berth.

With this, all five teams that will compete in autumn baseball in 2023 are set.

For the first time in 29 years, since 1994, LG has qualified directly for the Korean Series by finishing first in the regular season, while KT WIZ heads into the playoffs in second place.

The position of the three teams in third place – SSG Landers, NC Dinos and Doosan – will depend on their remaining games.

After pounding out 10 hits and struggling to convert them into runs, Doosan’s persistence paid off in the ninth inning.

Doosan opened the scoring in the top of the second when Kang Seung-ho hit an infield single to shortstop that set up back-to-back singles by Yang Ji and Yang Seok-hwan.

LG tied the game briefly after a pitching change with Austin Dean’s 23rd solo home run of the season to left-centre field.

The 1-1 lull was broken in the top of the seventh inning when Doosan’s leadoff batter, Kim Jae-hwan, reached second base on an error by the first baseman.

Following Kang Seung-ho’s send-off bunt, Kim Jae-ho rolled a bunt toward first base to send pinch-hitter Kim Tae-geun home.

After being held in check by Doosan starter Brandon Waddell, LG tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth against reliever Chung Chul-won.

Lee Jae-won, the ‘big boy in the sleeper’, pulled a high slider from Jeong Chul-won for a home run that landed in the left-field bleachers.

Doosan’s efforts to erase the magic number one were desperate.

In the top of the ninth inning, after Yang Seok-hwan drew a one-out walk, Lee Seung-yeop brought in pinch-hitter Lee Yoo-chan.

Lee promptly stole second base and reached third on the next batter’s grounder.

He then came home when Kang Seung-ho hit a grounder that dropped in front of the right fielder.

Doosan had runners on first and second with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, but Kim Myung-shin struck out Austin, Oh Ji-hwan and Moon Bo-kyung in succession to secure the victory.

Samsung Lions reliever Oh Seung-hwan reached the 400-save milestone in the KBO in his final home game of the season against SSG Lander in Daegu.

With his team leading 4-3 in the top of the eighth inning, Oh Seung-hwan entered the game with the bases loaded and two outs to preserve a 5-3 victory.

Oh, who turned pro with Samsung in 2005, reached the 400-save milestone in 668 games.

Combined with his 122 saves in the United States and Japan, Oh has 522 career saves.

Seung-hwan Oh reached 500 saves in his Korean-American career on 6 June against the NC Dinos.

With Oh Seung-hwan on the mound, SSG brought in Kim Kang-min, who is the same age as Oh Seung-hwan at 41, and then replaced him with another 41-year-old, Choo Shin-soo.

Choo spun his bat sharply on a three-ball two-strike at-bat, but Samsung first baseman Lee Sung-kyu made a great catch of a hard-hit ball flowing over the top of the infield to take the pressure off Oh Seung-hwan’s shoulders.

Oh gave up singles to Oh Tae-gon and Han Yoo-seom in the ninth to put runners on first and second, but he got Guillermo Heredia to fly out to right field for the final out.

He then gave up a huge foul home run to Park Sung-ho that just cleared the right-field fence, but regained his composure and lined it straight to left field, finally smiling.

With one game left in the regular season, Samsung used two foreign pitchers, David Buchanan and Taylor Widener, back-to-back for its final home game to give its fans a win.

Trailing 1-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Samsung scored three runs with runners on first and second on back-to-back singles by Kang Min-ho and Ryu Ji-hyuk and a sacrifice fly by Jose Pirela to take a 4-3 lead.

Lee Sung-gyu, who relieved Oh Seung-hwan in the bottom of the eighth, capped the scoring with a triple to right-centre field.

The Hanwha Eagles swept the Lotte Giants 8-0 at home in Daejeon to end their six-game losing streak and escape last-place ignominy for the fourth straight year.

This confirms Kiwoom Heroes as the lowest-placed team this season. Lotte is also locked into seventh place.

Hanwha slugger Noh Si-hwan reached his 100th RBI of the season with a grounder to shortstop in the first inning, becoming the second-youngest player in history to reach the 30-homer-100-RBI milestone after Lee Seung-yeop (22). Noh will turn 23 in December this year.

Noh, who has 31 home runs to his name, reached 100 RBIs in a season for the first time since his debut in 2019 and increased his tally to 101 with an infield single in the eighth inning.

Hanwha took a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning on Nick Williams’ mid-month two-run homer and added three runs in the eighth to make it 5-0 and give Lotte the white flag. Williams led the way with four hits and four RBIs. 파워볼게임
