SSG overcame a mistrial and won the 10th overtime.
SSG Landers overcame the umpire’s mistake and achieved a valuable victory with Park Ji-hwan’s walk-off hit in the 10th overtime.
SSG defeated KIA Tigers 7-6 in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League home game held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th.
Park Ji-hwan, who played as the 9th hitter and second baseman, scooped up KIA’s closeout Jeong Hae-young’s slider with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base in the bottom of the 8th inning when they were trailing 4-5, and hit a 2-RBI triple in the middle of the 10th inning to make it 6-6. He became the hero of victory by hitting a farewell hit to right-center in the bottom of the inning with one out and runners on second base.
He had a blazing performance with 3 hits and 3 RBIs in 5 at-bats.
SSG was tied 6-6 in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 outs and no runners on base, and Guillermo Heredia landed on second base when KIA shortstop Park Chan-ho made a catching error, giving SSG a chance to end the game.
Following Park Seong-han’s intentional walk, with two outs and runners on first and second base, Ji-young Lee hit a single to left field, and Heredia scored with an exquisite slide, so the game seemed to end that way.
However, referee Ham Ji-woong ruled that Heredia was tagged out, saying he did not hit home properly.
As a result of the TV playback, Heredia hit the home corner accurately, but SSG, who had already used up all of their opportunities to apply for video review, was forced into overtime despite the misjudgment.
SSG did not miss the opportunity to end the game with one out and a runner on second base due to a throwing error by KIA third baseman Kim Do-young in the bottom of the 10th overtime inning.
Park Ji-hwan hit KIA relief Kim Do-hyun with a hit to right-center, putting an end to the long game.

The second batter, Joo-Hyung Ahn, created a spectacular scene where he ran all the way to home, taking advantage of LG pitcher Kim Yu-Young’s throwing error to first base and Hong Chang-Ki’s repeated catching errors after hitting a bunt.
Because starting pitcher Choi Won-tae suddenly complained of side pain, LG unintentionally used the pitching staff on a bullpen day.
And from the 4th inning, Samsung took a 2-1 lead, adding 1 run for 3 consecutive innings to widen the gap.
LG caught up to 4-5 with Austin Dean’s three-run home run in the 7th inning, but it was painful to miss a chance with two outs and the bases loaded after being blocked by Samsung’s closer Seung-hwan Oh in the 8th and 9th innings.

In the bottom of the 4th inning, when they were down 5-4, they took advantage of KT’s consecutive mistakes to add 3 points and come closer to victory.
However, NC faced its final crisis when closer Lee Yong-chan, who came on the mound in the top of the 9th inning, hit consecutive hits with 2 outs, gave up 1 run with a wild pitch, and gave Mel Rojas Jr. a 1-RBI hit.
With 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base, NC was relieved only after Kim Min-hyuk was grounded to 2nd base and the lead runner was caught on 2nd base.
