Kim Do-young cycling hits + Yang Hyun-jong pitches perfect two-hitter

The Kia Tigers rode a perfect performance from their two hitting pillars, Yang Hyun-jong (36) and Kim Do-young (21), to their seventh consecutive victory over the Pajuk.

Kia cruised to an 8-1 victory over the NC Dinos of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Gwangju-Gia Champions Field on Wednesday. With the seven-game winning streak, leader Kia (58 wins, 2 draws, 35 losses, 0.624 winning percentage) maintained its dominance and extended its lead to 6.5 games over the LG Twins (52 wins, 2 draws, 42 losses, 0.553 winning percentage), who won their sixth straight game on the same day.

At the plate, Kim Do-young was a one-man show. Starting at third base, Kim went 4-for-5 with a double, home run, two RBIs and three runs scored. Her four hits were a single, a double, a triple, a home run, and a home run, making her a hit for the cycle.

With runners on first and second in the bottom of the first, Kim opened the inning with a two-seam fastball from NC starter Daniel Castano that he lined deep to shortstop. He advanced to third on Choi Hyung-woo’s RBI double and scored on Na Sung-beom’s sacrifice fly.

With Kia leading 3-0 in the bottom of the third inning, Kim drove a three-pitch two-seam fastball from Castano into right-center field for a two-run double. In the bottom of the fifth, with the bases loaded and no outs, he worked a full count and took a seven-pitch slider to deep left-center field for a three-run triple. Kim then scored on a single by Na Sung-beom to make it 4-0.

With Kia leading 6-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim stepped up to the plate for the fourth time. On a 2-2 pitch, a five-pitch slider high on the plate, Kim wasted no time in swinging hard at the pitch, which she knew was a home run the moment 파워볼사이트 추천 it hit the plate. It was a 120-meter home run over the left field wall, giving Kim her first career cycling hit.

It was Kim’s first cycling hit of the season and the 31st in KBO history. The “natural cycling hit” – a single, double, triple, and home run in that order – is only the second in history since Kim Eung-guk (Lotte Giants) in 1996, and Kim is the first KBO player to accomplish it in just four at-bats.

At 20 years, 9 months, and 21 days old, Kim also became the second-youngest player in history to accomplish a cycling hit after Shin Shin-gil (20 years, 8 months, and 21 days, Hanwha Eagles) in 2004.

The batting lineup, led by Kim Do-young, provided hot support with 14 hits and eight runs, and the “big pitcher” Yang Hyun-jong responded. Yang, who was unable to complete five innings for the first time this season (five runs in 4⅔ innings) against the Samsung Lions on April 17, erased the disappointment with a nine-inning, 95-pitch complete game victory.

After holding the NC bats to just two hits through four innings, Yang faced trouble in the top of the fifth inning after giving up a leadoff double to Jae-Hwan Hyeon, but he retired Park Siwon and Park Se-Hyeok in order in three pitches with a grounder to second base and a fly ball to center field.

Yang’s only run came on a solo shot to leadoff batter Seo Ho-cheol in the top of the sixth inning. After the walk, Yang retired 12 straight batters from the sixth through the ninth innings in a perfect game. With nine innings of one-run ball with six strikeouts and no walks, Yang recorded his second complete game of the season and 10th of his career, following a nine-inning, eight-hit, one-walk, six-strikeout performance against KT Wiz on May 1.
