Kim Sang-soo, who played for Samsung until last year, played his first game for Daegu after joining KT, and his perfect game for the second day in a row proved to be a blessing in disguise for his hometown team.
Ahead of the first game of the three-game series on the 26th, he said, “I’m more excited this time than when I came to Daegu for the exhibition game in March. “I had a strange feeling during the Samsung home game (28-30 April), but this time it’s even worse because it’s our first away game of the season,” he said. It was like that when I came out of the toll gate, and I felt strange in many parts.”스포츠토토
With runners on second and third in the fifth inning, tied 1-1, Kim hit a single up the middle off Samsung starter Yang Chang-seop. KT went on to defeat Samsung 4-1 thanks to Kim’s game-winning hit.
On the 27th, he completed his third three-hit game of the season in a 5-2 victory. After opening the scoring with a single up the middle in the first inning, Kim singled to right field with runners on first and third in the second to bring home Oh Yoon-seok from third base. He added an infield single in the fourth to complete his three-hit game and scored on consecutive singles by Anthony Alford and Byung-ho Park.
“I’m always focused on my game, and I feel like I got a lot of luck yesterday and today at Rapac. Even though I didn’t hit the ball well, I’m glad that the result was good,” he said humbly.
“After yesterday, I spent time with my family after a long time. I don’t come to Daegu often after the transfer, so I was happy to see them at the ballpark for the first time in a long time,” he smiled.
He said, “It will be a strange feeling every time I see Rafa, who I have always loved, at the away stadium instead of the home ground. There were a lot of KT fans here today, and I’m glad I got the chance to give back a little bit in front of the people who support me,” he smiled.
