The Hanwha Eagles swept the three-game series against the Doosan Bears for the first time in 19 years, further raising their hopes of advancing to the top five.
Hanwha defeated Doosan 3-1 in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League away game held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 25th.
Although they remained in 7th place without any change in ranking, Hanwha closed the gap with 6th place SSG Landers. 5th place KT Wiz was one game behind.
The gap between Hanwha and 4th place Doosan also narrowed to 3 games.
Hanwha, who defeated Doosan 7-4 on the 23rd and 7-6 on the 24th, won again today to sweep the three-game weekend series.
It has been 19 years since Hanwha swept Doosan in three consecutive games between June 4 and 6, 2005.
Hanwha has secured its 9th win (6 losses) against Doosan this season, confirming its 'season head-to-head record advantage' with the final match remaining.
It is the first time in 13 years since 2011 (10 wins, 9 losses) that Hanwha has gained an advantage over Doosan in a season matchup.
The one who completed the '3-game sweep' was the returning monster pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin.
Ryu Hyun-jin pitched 7 innings on this day, allowing 5 hits and 1 run, and earned his 8th win (7 losses) of the season.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to Hanwha this year after playing in the American Major League, recorded 2 wins and an ERA of 0.47 (3 runs, 1 earned run in 19 innings) in 3 matches against Doosan without a loss.
In the top of the second inning, Hanwha scored the first point with Lee Do-yoon's left-field RBI single with one out and runners on first and second base on Noh Si-hwan's double to left field and Kim In-hwan's walk.
In the top of the 6th inning with the score tied 1-1, with one out and a 스포츠 runner on first base, Jang Jin-hyeok hit a double to right-center for the game-winning hit.
In the top of the ninth, with one out and a runner on first base, Doosan brought about a crisis when shortstop Kim Jae-ho and third baseman Heo Gyeong-min missed Lee Do-yoon's routine fly ball. The record was Kim Jae-ho's throwing error.
Hanwha continued the opportunity with bases loaded and one out with Lee Won-seok's walk, and added the decisive run with Choi Jae-hoon's sacrifice fly to right field.
Doosan has recently lost three in a row and 13 in a row on Sunday, putting its 4th place defense in jeopardy.
