“I have a little more affection, but I am an opponent that I have to beat since I came as the coach of the opposing team.”

SSG scored the first run in the 3rd inning with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base with Choi Jeong’s timely hit to left field.

In the 7th inning, after one out, Lee Ji-young and Kim Chan-hyung’s consecutive hits put runners on first and third base,

the opponent added 2 runs with a wild pitch and a double steal.

On this day, SSG shook up the opponent’s battery with 4 stolen bases even though it was an exhibition game.

KT’s profit was that foreign ace William Cuevas pitched well,

allowing 3 hits, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, and 1 run in 4 innings.
