Samsung, which gave up all three consecutive 꽁머니 Pohang games (4th to 6th) against Doosan, won the games on the 8th and 9th after canceling the rain against Changwon NC on the 7th. The game was easily played out as foreign players, who account for a large portion of the team’s power, were scattered.

David Buchanan, who played the role of a stopper for consecutive losses this season, took the mound as a starter on the 8th and showed off his perfect pitching in seven scoreless innings (2 hits, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts) to win six games of the season. Lee Jae-ik and Jang Pil-jun then neatly erased one inning each.

Among the batters, Jose Pirella, who scored two hits (one home run) and three RBIs in four at-bats, stood out the most. He stepped down with a fly ball to right field in his first at-bat in the second inning, but he took the left-handed solo arch against NC starter Shin Min-hyuk in the fourth inning with a 1-0 lead.

After getting on base with a hit ball in the sixth inning, he hit a decisive shot in the seventh inning, five points ahead. With Koo Ja-wook’s hit and Kang Min-ho’s double, he hit a triple between the right and center, bringing all runners home. Ryu Ji-hyuk scored with a sacrifice fly to left field. Samsung beat NC 8-0, ending its three-game losing streak.

In the game on the 9th, starter Albert Suarez’s perfect pitch shone. He added a multiplier 29 days after the match against Lotte in Daegu on the 10th of last month with three hits, one walk, and four strikeouts in six innings.

Pirella perfectly played the role of victory helper for her “best friend” Suarez. Following heavy hits in the second and sixth innings, he completed the three-hit game with a double in the left field in the seventh inning and scored one RBI and two runs. Samsung defeated NC 7-0 with Suarez and Pirella’s performances.

Samsung, which won only Sunday for three consecutive weeks, defeated NC for two consecutive days thanks to the performance of the foreign trio, not only achieving the winning series but also winning consecutive games. Samsung will play its last three consecutive wins against KIA in the first half from the 11th. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to wash away the disappointment of taking five losses without a victory against KIA this season.
