# Eagles Challenge to Sweep Doosan for the first time in 19 years

The Hanwha Eagles will have an away match against the Doosan Bears of the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Saturday. Having already secured the Winning Series by winning two games, the Hanwha Eagles will challenge to win a sweep for the first time in 19 years.

Hanwha's recent rise has been soaring. Since he acquired a miraculous "sweep win" in the three consecutive games against SSG Landers last week, which was the biggest challenge to whether he could continue the hope of autumn baseball or not, he has been rushing to the top of the league with 6 wins and 1 loss before the game on the 25th. Before meeting with the Doosan Bears, he was stopped once by kneeling 2-8 to the NC Dinos on the 21st, but he is whistling again by catching Doosan for two days from the 23rd to the 24th.

In the game on the 23rd, starter Ryan Weiss laid the groundwork for victory by recording a quality start (less than three earned runs in six innings) with 87 pitches, three hits, one walk, six strikeouts and one run (one earned run) in six innings, while Jang Jin-hyuk succeeded in gaining the upper hand by flying four at-bats (one homer) with four RBIs, one run and one walk, Hwang Young-mook three hits and three runs, and Noh Si-hwan with two hits and two walks. And the previous day (24th) also had a good trend.

Hanwha had a tight race with Doosan until the middle of the game, but succeeded in targeting Kwak Bin who was on the mound in the seventh inning as well, and took the lead. However, the joy was brief. Why did he give up four runs in defense in the bottom of the eighth inning? Still, he had no chance to give up. As a result, he successfully targeted "super rookie" Kim Taek-yeon, who took the mound in the top of the ninth inning to wrap up the game, leading the game to overtime play, and Kim Tae-yeon exploded a timely hit to secure the victory in the top of the 10th inning. Lee Sang-kyu, who took the mound from the ninth inning, concluded the game as he did, and enjoyed a thrilling victory in 1,553 days.

Hanwha has already secured the Winning Series, but it will challenge to win a "sweep victory" against Doosan for the first time in 7020 days and 19 years since the game against Doosan in Cheongju on June 4-6, 2005. In response, Hanwha has lined up starting lineup of players in the order of Hwang Young-mook (second baseman), Jonathan Peraza (designated hitter), Jang Jin-hyuk (middle fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Kim In-hwan (first baseman), Lee Do-yoon (striker), Lee Jae-won (catcher), and Lee Jin-young (left fielder). The most notable part is Lee Jin-young's starting lineup.

It is the first time in 115 days that Lee Jin-young, who was called to the first team on the 22nd, has been in the starting lineup since the match against SSG Landers in Daejeon on May 2. Regarding Lee Jin-young's starting role, manager Kim Kyung-moon said, "He was the starting player last year. However, I didn't see him very well in the second team in the beginning since I came here. I also had injuries. I have more entries in September, but I have not seen him practice but play in games. I want to see how he fights because he is a player with enough skills."

Despite the recent upturn, Hanwha is not in the stage of a "test" at the moment. Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, "It is not a test. We have a few more games to play. We will not be able to do a test. If (Lee) Sang-hyuk is going down to the second division and (Lee) Won-seok is going to start, there will be no pinch-runner. We have considered various situations," revealing why Lee Jin-young decided to start.

It is the head coach's wish that Lee Jin-young will take this opportunity to bring out his skills. Coach Kim Kyung-moon emphasized, "Even if you don't have high expectations right now, you have what you have. I want to take this out through the match."
