"The End of Disciplinary Action for Drinking", "No hits in 5 at-bats and mistakes"
Park Min-woo, Kwon Hee-dong, and Lee Myung-ki, who were suspended from 72 games by KBO and 25 games by the club for drinking in violation of COVID-19 quarantine rules at their accommodation last year, returned to the first division on the 4th and played.
The three players prepared to return by raising their sense of losing points in the Futures League from this year, and immediately joined the first division after the suspension was over for three days. 스포츠토토탑
On the afternoon of the 4th, NC Park Min-woo started as the first batter and second baseman in the game between NC and Shamseong of the 2022 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu.
Park Min-woo aggressively hit Samsung starter Baek Jung-hyun's first pitch in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. However, he stepped down unfortunately with a ground ball to the second baseman. He struck out in the top of the second inning, his second at-bat, and was out in the top of the fifth inning, his third at-bat, with a ground ball to first base. In the top of the sixth inning, his fourth at-bat, he hit an outfield fly with two outs and a runner on first base.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, his fifth at-bat, with two outs and a runner on second, a hard hit was sucked into Samsung pitcher Lee Jae-ik's glove. Park Min-woo's face, which had no hits in five at-bats, was full of regret.
He also expressed his apology to his teammate in defense. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he made a mistake by dropping Samsung's Kim Heon-gon's ball through his crotch. The ball missed Park Min-woo first because he couldn't get off the glove early.
Kwon Hee-dong, who returned together, showed a rusty batting sense with two hits and one run in four at-bats, while Lee Myung-ki got on base with a ball that hit his body and scored only one point.
NC seemed to have won consecutive games following the game on the 3rd with a 5-2 lead until the 8th inning, but failed to stop Samsung's strong batting lineup in the bottom of the 8th inning. NC gave up nine points to Samsung in the eighth inning alone, losing 5-11 and lowering its head.
