Hanwha Eagles gained momentum by catching the strongest team SSG Landers this season for two days in a row.

Hanwha won 4-3 in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League away game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 8th.

As a result, Hanwha won six games and lost four games in a row. On the other hand, SSG lost two consecutive games, but tied for first place with KT Wiz, who lost to Lotte Giants on the day with 7 wins and 3 losses.

Hanwha set up batting order with Oh Jae-won (center fielder), Jonathan Ferraza (right wing), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (captor), and Shim Woo-jun (striker). The starting pitcher is Moon Dong-ju.

SSG faced off with Park Sung-han (striker), Guillermo Herredia (left fielder), Choi Jung (third baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Ko Myung-joon (first baseman), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Kim Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Cho Hyung-woo (catcher), and Jung Joon-jae (second baseman). Choi Min-joon started as a starting pitcher.

Until the second inning, both teams played a frustrating game, failing to bring the runner home even after getting on base. A decisive error in the third inning divided the joys and sorrows of both teams.

Jung Joon-jae missed Oh Jae-won's ordinary ground ball with one out, and later allowed a hit to Peraza and a walk to Noh Si-hwan, putting him on the verge of loading the bases with two outs. Were it not for an error, would he have been embarrassed by the situation in which he could have finished the inning without losing a point. Choi Min-joon committed a balk and the runner advanced one base each with one run.

Hanwha didn't let go of the faltering opponent easily. Kang Baek-ho, who took the batter's box, hit a folk ball of 132km/h heading into the middle of Choi Min-joon and hit a three-run home run that flew well over the central fence. 3rd home run of the season.

In the bottom of the third inning, SSG also chased down a point by hitting a high slider from Moon Dong-ju, and Choi Jung chased again with an RBI timely hit after Jung Joon-jae's hit and Park Sung-han's walk in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Hanwha's bullpen was activated from the sixth inning. In the sixth inning, Kim Jong-soo and Park Sang-won in the seventh inning blocked one inning each without allowing a run, and setup man Jung Woo-joo took the mound in the eighth inning.

He got a hit to the right by the leadoff batter, Herredia, but he seemed to take a breather by striking out Choi Jung and Kim Jae-hwan in a row. However, Ko Myung-joon hit a slider on his body and hit a double that separated the left-center to bring Herredia home.

Chae Hyun-woo, who played as a pinch runner for Han Yu-sum with a pitch that was well over the catcher's height, headed to third base. Han Yu-sum gave up a walk and Choi Ji-hoon even allowed a hit ball while trying to stick to the body ball. a two-out, bases-loaded, desperate situation. At pinch hitter Otaegon and ball count 2-2, he froze Otaegon with a 149km/h fastball that perfectly entered the low course outside.

Closer Kim Seo-hyun took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning. After allowing an infield hit to Jung Joon-jae, he was shaken by allowing a walk to Park Sung-han. However, Kim Seo-hyun, who turned Herredia into a shortstop foul fly, struck out Choi Jung with a 149km/h fastball and allowed a walk again in a full count match with Kim Jae-hwan. a bases loaded with two outs. Pinch-hitter Kim Sung-wook came out to bat and ended the game by inducing a ground ball to shortstop.

With this, Moon Dong-ju took his first win of the season, and Kim Seo-hyun harvested his first save of the season in his fifth game of the season. Kim Jong-soo also won his first hold of the season, Park Sang-won and Jung Woo-joo each won his second hold of the season.
