Song Sung-moon카지노 (26) drove in the winning run.
Kiwoom Heroes won 7-6 in extra innings against the Lotte Giants in the 2023 Shinhan Bank Solar KBO League at Sajik Stadium on the 23rd. Kiwoom sits in eighth place with 89 games, 40 wins, two draws, and 47 losses.
The game lasted a whopping six hours and 10 minutes. The match started at 5pm and ended at 11.10pm. One of the reasons for this was that the game had to be stopped halfway through for ground maintenance due to rain. The intense extra innings included a lot of hits by both teams, a lot of extra base hits, and some umpiring issues, including the ejection of Larry Sutton and Lee Yong-kyu.
In the summer, 2 o’clock games or games that end very quickly can sometimes end before the sun goes down, but this game was the complete opposite. It was a long, all-out battle that lasted well into the night, when the moon was still visible.

In this hard-fought game, infield multiplayer Song Sung-moon was the difference maker in the offence, especially at the plate, where he went 3-for-5 with four RBIs. He hit a two-run double with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth inning, and in the top of the 10th inning, with runners on second and third, he lined a single to left field off closer Kim Won-joong.
With a good starting line-up, Kiwoom will need the bats to follow suit in games like this to rebound. With a lot of bad news on the horizon, including the loss of their top batsman Lee Jung-hoo to injury, Song Sung-moon’s performance was a welcome relief.
