Seongnam High School had no connection with the final of the national championship for some time before the 79th Golden Lion. Its last advance to the final was in 2016 when it lost to Dongsan High School, which was led by President Park Hye-sung (LA Dodgers), 2-8, and after that, advancing to the semifinals of the 2019 Bonghwangdaegi was the best performance in the national championship. In the 2020s, it is far from making it to the semifinals.바카라사이트
Seongnam High School is different this year. With Oh Hoon-taek, Jo Yun-ho, and Moon Jung-seo, the troika, the mound is solid. Notably, Oh was the second pitcher at Mulgeum High School and the semifinal, which took place for two days due to the decision of a suspended game in rain, and took charge of seven innings with 103 pitches, which was close to the maximum (105 pitches) to bring his team to the final.
Oh took the mound at the third inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases with Seongnam leading 3-1. He kept the lead by letting in only one runner. Seongnam's coaching staff kept their assessment that they rarely let in successors. Oh did not lose his smile and threw 103 pitches on the mound despite various crises. After enduring the crisis, Seongnam High School did not collapse despite allowing a 4-4 tie, and managed to advance to the finals by winning 7-6 in the 10th inning.
"I threw the ball thinking that if I don't think about it for a long time and block every inning, the fielders will give me points. I'm not tired at all," Oh said after the game. "I prepared with the mindset that I can win if I do my best as one team even before the Golden Lion. I think I was able to come this far as I became one team. Now, I think I can win no matter what team it is."
Seongnam High School still remembers losing 1-2 to the water safe in the 32nd round of the Shinsegae E-Mart Cup. Coach Park Hyuk praised Kang Seung-young, who is the same age as him, and said, "In that game, I saw the players working harder than us." However, he laughed, saying, "As soon as the players faced the golden lion match, they would compete with the water safe in the semifinals."
By advancing to the semifinals, Seongnam High School secured a return match with Mulgeum High School and avenged its victory by one point. In the 10th inning of extra time, Bong Seung-hyun gave up two runs with two outs and a full base to keep the lead. Oh Hoon-taek said, "I was more nervous than when I was in the mound." This time, Kang Seung-young, the coach of Mulgeum High School, applauded to Seongnam High School.
Oh Hoon-taek expressed confidence that he could run to the championship with the rise of his advance to the finals, saying, "I lost to the water safe during the Emart Cup, but I gained momentum by catching the opponent I couldn't beat then." He said, "I can't stand on the mound of the final with 103 pitches, but I think I can win the final enough without myself."
Seongnam's opponent in the final is Yoo Shin-go, who owns two "high school All-Star" fielders. Yoo Shin-go has been selected as the captain and main center fielder Oh Jae-won, and Shin Jae-in, a third baseman and even a finishing pitcher. Seongnam High School and Yoo Shin-go, and the 79th Golden Lion National Baseball Game and the weekend league King of Kings will be held at Mokdong Baseball Stadium in Seoul at 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
