Ulsan Wales, which was launched as the first civic team in Korean professional baseball history, has set a historic milestone of its first win.

Ulsan Wales won a 9-1 victory against the NC Dinos at Masan Baseball Stadium on the 25th with the explosive concentration of its batters. Although he gave up one point in the bottom of the third inning, he scored nine points in the fifth inning alone to catch the game.

Ulsan's batters woke up in the top of the fifth inning, trailing 0-1. Ulsan created a scoring chance by pushing the NC mound from the beginning of the inning, and Kim Soo-in's shot sealed the decisive wedge. Kim Soo-in hit a cool three-run home run with two runners in front. It was Ulsan's first home run. Starting from this, Ulsan created a strange scene in which the entire lineup exploded and scored nine points in the fifth inning alone.

In the batting lineup, Park Je-beom swung three hits, and Bae Sang-kwon, Kim Dong-yeop, and Ye Jin-won led the attack by recording two hits side by side. On the mound, starter Okada pitched 92 pitches in five innings, giving up one run and striking out two. Okada led his team's historic first victory with his first individual win with an unshakable pitch even in crisis situations. Kim Joon-woo (1st ⅓ innings), Nam-ho (⅔ innings), Choi Si-hyuk and Seo Young-joon (one more inning) all did not lose points and kept the lead well.

After the game, an event was held to commemorate the first victory of the foundation. Kim Chul-wook, chairman of the Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Committee, delivered a bouquet of flowers to manager Jang Won-jin on the ground and delivered a message of encouragement. Chairman Kim said, "It is a valuable victory that has given great impression and hope to Ulsan citizens," and asked, "Please continue to be a club that grows with citizens."

Manager Jang Won-jin said, "As a newly launched civic team, it is very meaningful because it is the first win made with the players," adding, "I deeply thank Kim Chul-wook, chairman of the Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Council, and Ulsan City officials for their support." He added, "We will not be satisfied with today's victory and will be a team that works with Ulsan citizens and grows steadily."

Ulsan Wales, which won its first historic victory, is expected to boost the team's atmosphere with this game and seek a full-fledged rise in future league schedules.
