It's been like that for two days in a row. Trailing by six points, the spectators who were about to leave the stadium one by one stopped. This is because the Hanwha Eagles' batting lineup, which does not give up, has begun a fierce chase.

Hanwha lost consecutive home games against KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 31st and 1st of last month. The momentum of the opening two consecutive wins has been dampened.

However, it did not collapse easily. In the game on the 1st, Hanwha led 4-2 until the middle and allowed a 4-6 turnaround in the top of the seventh inning. He immediately recovered one point in the bottom of the seventh inning, but gave up five points in the top of the eighth inning to fall behind 5-11.

At the end of the eighth inning, something incredible happened. After following three runs with Kang Baek-ho Chae Eun-sung's consecutive timely hit and Heo In-seo's sacrifice fly, Shim Woo-joon hit a three-run home run to the left and succeeded in an 11-11 miracle tie.

In the game on the 31st, Heo In-seo's two-run home run and Peraza's two-run double after two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 0-6, showed his power to chase four runs. Although both games were eventually lost 4-9 and 11-14 due to bullpen difficulties, it was enough to cool the opponent's bloodshed until the end.

Hanwha has scored a total of 35 points (average 8.75 points) in four games since the opening. The team's batting average is 0.329, ranking second after KT (40 points, 0.350) in both scoring and batting average. He also has six homers, the second most after Lotte (nine).

In personal records, a large number of Hanwha hitters are ranked at the top of each category. In RBIs, Shim Woo-joon and Kang Baek-ho rank first and second with nine and eight, respectively, while Oh Jae-won and Peraza are tied for first (8).

Four players are batting in the .400 range, including Peraza (0.444), Ha Joo-seok (0.438), Moon Hyun-bin (0.412), and Oh Jae-won (0.400). Roh Si-hwan, the fourth batter who has been sluggish recently, finally hit a hit after 11 at-bats in the bottom of the seventh inning of the game on the 1st, and also walked in the bottom of the eighth inning to announce his recovery.

Hanwha Life Ball Park had a packed audience (17,000) for four consecutive games from the season opener on the 28th of last month to the 1st. Last year, Hanwha also sold out as many as 62 of its 73 home games, setting a new season record in this category. The charm of Eagles baseball, which never gives up to the end, is the result of attracting fans.
