Kim Do-young, who became the first batter in three consecutive games, turned the bat without hesitation from the start.



He made a clean right-handed hit by pushing the pitch of KT ace Go Young-pyo in the 1st inning, and in the 5th inning, he pushed a high fastball to hit a double that exceeded the height of right fielder.



And in the 7th one-out second base opportunity, which was 2-1 behind, he pulled the fast ball with all his might and showed off his resolver instinct with a tie double that fell in the middle of the left.



Doyoung Kim, who hit 3 hits, recorded multi-hits in 3 games in a row and climbed to the top of the list for the most hits, raising his batting average to 50.3 pennies.



He raised expectations as the 'second Jong-beom Lee' with a stable catch and strong throw in the shortstop defense.



Pitcher Young-hyeon Park, a new high school graduate who received KT's first pick, stopped Kim Do-young's run.



He made the ninth appearance and struck out Kim Do-young with three fastballs at 148 km/h, heralding a fierce competition for the rookie of the year. 



KIA continued their undefeated streak in the demonstration game, adding to the huge home run of rookie giant Kim Seok-hwan.



Kiwoom's Puyi raised his sense of hitting by scoring his first RBI in his demonstration game as the final RBI.
