The ordeal made him harder. Outfielder Bae Sang-kwon (29), who suffered from the pain of being released from the Kiwoom Heroes and built a new nest in Ulsan Wales, led the team's victory with a decisive shot.

Ulsan Wales came from behind to win 6-1 against the NC Dinos in Game 5 of the season at Munsu Baseball Stadium in Ulsan on the 12th, scoring six points in the seventh inning alone. With the victory, Ulsan secured its second place in the southern league by winning two consecutive home games. The gap with the southern league leader Lotte Giants is 1.5 games apart.

The game was a tight pitching match until the middle of the day. Ulsan starter Kobayashi held out by allowing one run in six innings, but the batters did not respond, leading to 0-1.

However, the counterattack began in the bottom of the seventh inning. Leadoff hitter Kim Soo-in's double and Oh Hyun-seok's timely double broke out to balance 1-1. After that, Kim Sung-kyun and Park Min-seok's two-out full base chances were made with consecutive walks.

The first batter, Bae Sang-kwon, entered the batter's box. Bae Sang-kwon pulled the opposing pitcher's ball sharply without missing it, and the ball led to a three-run sweep triple flowing along the right line. The score was quickly overturned to 4-1 as all three runners homered, and it was a moment when it was actually tilted to Ulsan, the addition of the match.

For Bae Sang-kwon, this season is more desperate than ever. After the 2025 season, he was notified of his release from the Kiwoom Heroes and faced a crisis in his professional career. But in the moment of despair, he received his life partner and gained the strength to get back on his feet.

In December last year, Bae Sang-kwon signed a 100-year-old contract with Kim Ha-na, a former cheerleader who he had a relationship with when he was a Kiwoom. At the time, he said through the Kiwoom club, "I'm grateful to my wife for always being there and supporting me. I feel a greater sense of responsibility through marriage," he said, making a special determination.

The responsibility as a head of the household and the desperation in the new team are proving grades. Bae Sang-kwon, who has been hitting hard by operating a home run since the camp, has established himself as the core of Ulsan's outfield by showing his solver instinct on the main track of the season. Bae Sang-kwon, who played in all 15 games played by Ulsan, has a batting average of 0.296 (16 hits in 54 times at bat) and one home run and 10 RBIs for the season. He is the top scorer with the most RBIs in his team.

Meanwhile, Jin Hyun-woo, who took the mound in the seventh inning after starting pitcher Kobayashi, enjoyed his first professional debut win by keeping one inning scoreless. Veteran Ko Hyo-joon and Lee Seung-geun, who took the mound, also pitched a scoreless relay to protect the victory.

Ulsan Wales, which gained momentum with two consecutive home wins, will try to win three consecutive games against NC at 6:30 p.m. on the 13th. Ham Ji-hoon (42), a basketball legend of Ulsan Hyundai Mobis who recently retired, will be the first pitchman to add to the enthusiasm of Munsu Baseball Stadium, and the game will be broadcast live on TVING.
