Bears Emerge From Wild Game 2 With Another Win

October 16th, 2007 Shinsano · No Comments

A runner scoring from first on a strike out, a home run by a guy who’s hit two during his entire career, and a  bench clearing staredown were all  part of the action tonight as Doosan took a 2-0 advantage in it’s second  round matchup with No. 3 seed Hanwha.

Matt Landers allowed two runs over six innings to pick up the win. Landers wasn’t dominant, often working  late into counts, as his 111  pitches in six innings would indicate, but he he got out of several jams and  prevented  the heart of Hanwha’s lineup from doing any major damage.

Doosan  had the benefit of a couple of home runs from unexpected sources as leadoff hitter Lee Jeong-ok  hit just his third in two years and Kim Hyun-su hit his sixth in the same span. Lee was named MVP of the game, going 2-for-4 with  3 RBI.

Lee Jeong-ok–as surprised as anyone

Wednesday’s Game 3 action will move to Daejeon where the Eagles are expected to  turn to  20-year-old phenom Ryu Hyeon-jin in an attempt to  slow down the  Bears.
