"We have to beat a strong team, too."

After two consecutive wins in the opening series, he lost three consecutive games to KT Wiz, which boasts a strong power. After that, he went up and down repeatedly and again met SSG Landers, the lone No. 1 player. Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon (68) strengthened his will to win and secured a valuable victory as planned.

Hanwha beat SSG Landers 6-2 in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League away game at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 7th.

Hanwha, which recorded 5 wins and 4 losses, tied for 5th place with the LG Twins.

There was a change even before the game. Moon Hyun-bin and Shim Woo-joon, who took a break due to minor injuries, returned to the lineup. Before the game, head coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "SSG has such a good atmosphere," adding, "Shouldn't we also beat a strong team. So I think today's first game is very important," he said.

The match was held in chilly weather below 10 degrees Celsius due to rain the previous day. Was it because of the cold weather. From the beginning of the game, the starting pitchers of both teams were somewhat shaken. In the top of the first inning, Jonathan Pereza's double and Moon Hyun-bin's first timely hit led, but Hanwha starter Ryu Hyun-jin allowed Choi Jung to turn the tables after a two-run home run.

Ryu Hyun-jin, however, remained unshakable. After completing the second inning with three outs, he sent out runners in the third, fourth and fifth innings, but he became stronger during the crisis. Ryu Hyun-jin, who continued the inning without losing a point, finished his mission with KKK in the bottom of the sixth inning.

In the meantime, the opponent's starter Shota Taketa gave up four consecutive walks in the third inning, and Ha Joo-seok hit a timely two-run turnaround to take the lead.

Even after Ryu Hyun-jin went down, the bullpen kept the score gap with a stable pitch. From the seventh inning, Park Sang-won, Jung Woo-ju, and Kim Seo-hyun blocked the SSG batters by pitching no hits. It was a welcome bullpen score because the back door exposed extreme anxiety. In the top of the ninth inning, he added two more points to seal the victory.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said after the game, "Even in the cold weather, all of our players did their best until the end without losing their concentration. "I want to praise you for your hard work," he said, adding, "Ryu Hyun-jin led the atmosphere with excellent pitching even in really bad weather today."

"He also showed cohesion in chances and gave up the necessary points well," he said. "Once again, I want to tell you that all of our players did a good job and played a good game."
