Hanwha Eagles, a professional baseball team that has won nine consecutive games in 20 years, will now try to win 10 consecutive games for the first time in 26 years.
Hanwha defeated the Samsung Lions 10-6 in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League home game held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 7th.온라인바카라
As a result, Hanwha began with the KT Wiz match on the 26th of last month and won nine consecutive games until this day, defeating the LG Twins with 24 wins and 13 losses to rank first. It is the first time in 20 years that Hanwha has won nine consecutive games since June 2005.
After the opening of the regular season, Hanwha ended up at the bottom with only three wins and seven losses in 10 games. However, starting with the game against Kiwoom on June 13, the team won eight consecutive games, successfully rebounded, and quickly rose to the top ranks.
Since then, Hanwha has seemed to be slowing down with two consecutive losses, but tied for the lead with seven consecutive wins, and while LG gave up the winning series to Jamsil rival Doosan Bears, Hanwha added two wins to take the first place alone.
Hanwha's strong pitching staff is considered the biggest reason for the rise this season. Five strong starters, including foreign one-two punch Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss, and native ace Ryu Hyun-jin, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-joo, are responsible for the victory.
In the must-win group, strong bullpen players such as Han Seung-hyuk and Kim Seo-hyun (11 saves) are also in the top spot in the save category.
Hanwha, which has been breathlessly ranked first with nine consecutive wins, will take a day off and play three consecutive away games with Kiwoom, the lowest.
If the team wins in Thursday's match, it will secure 10 consecutive wins for the first time in 26 years since 1999, solidifying its No. 1 ranking. At the time when the team recorded 10 consecutive wins, the team won the Korean Series for the first time and the last time in its history.
Hanwha, which wants to recall its pleasant memories 26 years ago, will pitch Um Sang-baek in the first game of this series against Kiwoom.
Um has one win, three losses and an earned run average of 5.06 in six games this season. Um did not win the match against the Kia Tigers on April 25, but pitched well in five innings, allowing four hits, three walks, three strikeouts, and two runs, contributing to his team's victory.
Unlike Hanwha, which has won nine consecutive games, Kiwoom wants to continue its rebound. Kiwoom lost 10-3 until the top of the eighth inning on the 7th after four consecutive losses and scored eight points in the bottom of the eighth inning alone, dramatically winning 11-10.
Kiwoom will put Ha Young-min on the mound against the Hanwha Eagles on Tuesday. Ha has four wins, four losses and an ERA of 5.57 in eight games this season. Ha will take the mound for the first time in the game against the Hanwha Eagles this year.
