It was a two-game series that tasted both disappointment and hope.
The KIA Tigers finished their opening two matches held in Incheon last weekend with 1 win and 1 loss.
KIA, who met last year’s champion SSG, lost 1-4 with the batting line being silent at every opportunity in the opening game, but the other line exploded in the second game and won 9-5.
New foreign pitcher Sean Anderson, who started Game 1, showed stable pitching despite a loss in his debut game, and Eui-Ri Lee, starter in Game 2, recorded his first win of the season.

In terms of batting, Park Chan-ho and Kim Do-young, who started as table setters, both performed very well with 4 hits in 2 games, and transfer student Byun Woo-hyuk completed a spectacular transfer report with a home run in his first at-bat this season.
Kim Ho-ryeong, who played as a center fielder in the outfield without Na Seong-beom, received cheers and applause from fans as he defended the team’s victory with an all-time diving catch in the second game.
In professional football, Gwangju FC, which is causing a sensation this season, succeeded in winning streak.
Gwangju won 2-0 against Suwon FC in the K-League 1 round 5 home game held at the Gwangju Soccer Stadium on the 1st.
Although Asani and Um Ji-seong, the team’s core players, could not participate due to the aftermath of being selected for the national team, they played unique attacking soccer based on solid organizational skills.
Gwangju, who added 3 points, dispelled the predictions of experts that they were relegated to 1st place, and rose to 5th place in the league with 3 wins, 2 losses and 9 points.
