What uniforms will Jeon Ju-ju and Jung Woo-ju wear?
The feast is over. A point has been proven. What uniforms will Jeon Ju-ju and Jung Woo-ju wear?
Jeon Ju-ju defeated Masan Yongmago in the finals of the 79th Cheongnyonggi National High School Baseball Championship and Weekend League Wangjoongwang Game (co-hosted by Chosun Ilbo, Sports Chosun and the Korea Baseball Softball Association) on Saturday to win the title.
Jung Woo-ju took the mound three times that day. Rain was forecast before the game. Jeon Joo-joo was unable to pitch because her second pitcher, Lee Homin, who threw 72 pitches in the quarterfinals, was on a pitch count restriction. Masan Yongmago had a lot of good left-handed hitters, making it difficult to utilize sidearm Kim Young-bin.
Jeong Woo-ju was initially in the bullpen. But when first-year Lee Si-hoo gave up three consecutive singles in the first inning, he was quickly warmed up and brought in to pitch. Upon entering the game, he surprised the left-hander by throwing a fastball that was around 150 kilometers per hour. He struck out the next two batters to end the threat of a 1-0 deficit.
After retiring the first three batters of the second inning, Jung flied out to right field. But when the next pitcher gave up a triple on an error of his own, Jung was back in the game, and this time, he got out of the jam.
The field was drenched in heavy rain.
In the bottom of the third inning, the game was suspended in the first inning due to heavy rain.
Both teams are local teams, and there were more than 1,000 alumni cheering for both teams. The Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA) wanted to finish the game as soon as possible.
After an hour and 40 minutes of waiting, the game resumed. The pitchers pitched cautiously on the mound, which had become quite loose due to the heavy rain. 바카라사이트 All the while, Jung Woo-ju’s presence was unmistakable. Despite being worried about his footing, he stood out with a 150-kilometer fastball that went right into the catcher’s mitt.
Luckily, the weather cleared up after that and it didn’t rain until the awards ceremony. The artificial turf and well-drained conditions at Mokdong Stadium also helped.
According to high school baseball rules, if a player throws more than 45 pitches, they have to take the day off. If the game was suspended and played as a suspended game, Jung would have been unable to pitch, so she went back to the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning to secure the win.
Jung had shed tears of disappointment when he was runner-up in the E-Mart Bae earlier this year.
“My goal this year was to win the national championship, and I’m glad I didn’t miss it,” he said, smiling broadly after the game.
“I think the pressure got the better of me in the E-Mart Bae, and in a way, I lost because of me, but this time I threw with excitement, trusting the pitchers and batters behind me. (Lee) Homin helped our team reach the final, so I’m grateful and sorry to him.”
Despite his repeated appearances and unexpected walks, Jung still showed off his bat, hitting a two-run double to deep left in the top of the sixth inning. “It’s fun to try hitting,” he smiled, ”and I think I’m one of the best.
Jung Woo-ju said of Jeonju’s ‘legendary’ Kim Won-hyung-Park Kyung-wan battery, “(Lee) Han-rim is the reason I hear that. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know if I could have thrown like this. My skills have improved a lot thanks to him,” he said, giving credit to his best friend.
All that’s left for Jung Woo-ju is another national tournament, the Presidential Boat, and the KBO rookie draft. “I’m aiming to be No. 1 unconditionally, and I’m grateful to (Duksugo) Jung Hyun-woo,” he said, vowing to compete in good faith.
