The game was a messy affair. LG starter Im Chan-kyu was called for a headshot after throwing a ball that went right into Park’s face.

With runners on first and third, Shin Min-jae hit a pitch behind second baseman Park Min-woo, who stayed focused and threw the ball away.

Manager Kang Myung-ho came out again to protest and was ejected.
Speaking to the media after the game, Park Min-woo said, “It feels good to win. The game was messy and there were many situations. “Even when I was up to bat in scoring position, I didn’t think, ‘I need to concentrate more,’ but rather, ‘I need to hit it,’ and I think that led to a good result,” he said.
“I was worried that the younger players would get nervous and the atmosphere would get to them, but they didn’t and they played their game well. That’s why we were able to win today.”

The three-game series itself was a messy affair. NC won the first game on the 25th, 14-1, thanks to a successful attack on LG starter Choi Won-tae. On the 26th, the tide turned in the bottom of the ninth inning when Park’s pitch hit the second base umpire’s foot with runners on first and second. Martin’s RBI single and Kwon Hee-dong’s three-run homer in the bottom of the inning gave LG a 7-5 victory.
In this game, LG chased NC until the end. In the top of the eighth inning, with NC leading 5-2, Kim Hyun-soo, who came in as a pinch hitter, hit a single with runners on first and second. With runners on first and third, Austin Dean hit a grounder in front of the third baseman. Shin Min-jae raced home from third, but was tagged out. Oh Ji-hwan then drew a walk to load the bases. Moon Bo-kyung came to the plate. One hit would have tied the game. However, Park Min-woo, the second baseman, made no mistake.

“In the past, I would have said, ‘Don’t hit the ball to me,’ but not now. ”The players feel the same way about the atmosphere of this three-game series, so when the infielders got together, I told them to focus on it,” he said.
Min-woo Park expressed his desire to play fall baseball at NC Park this season. NC Park opened in 2019. NC made the postseason twice in 2019 and 2020, but did not play at NC Park. The team finished the 2019 season in fifth place and played a wild-card game against LG at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. The result was a 3-1 victory for LG. In 2020, the team finished first and went straight to the Korean Series, but the entire series was played at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
Park said, “I don’t have any personal goals this season. “It’s my first season after signing a free agent contract, and I want to do something as a veteran. Also, I haven’t played fall baseball in Changwon yet. I apologize to the fans for that. The manager is also in his first year, so he wants to do more.”
