"High school's biggest fish" Top 2 were eliminated side by side, and Hwang Jun's time to choose has come

Two pitchers, considered the "biggest fish in high school," suffered side by side. Following Jang Hyun-suk (Masan Yongma High School), Hwang Joon-seo (Jang Chung High School) bowed.

Hwang Jun-seo recorded five hits, one walk, six strikeouts and five runs (two earned) in 4⅓ innings in the semifinals against Gyeongbuk High School in the 78th Cheongnyonggi National High School Baseball Championship and weekend league match at Mokdong Stadium on the 25th.

On this day, Jangchung High School raised Won Jong-hae as a starting pitcher. However, Won Jong-hae was hit by a walk by Kim Se-hoon, the first batter, and a hit by Park Kwan-woo at the top of the first inning. He then lost a point due to a catcher's throwing error and allowed Park Kwan-woo to steal a base. Next, Lim Jong-sung was in crisis by giving a ball that hit his body.

Then, Jangchung High School bench immediately replaced the pitcher and raised Hwang Joon-seo.

Hwang Joon-seo caught the first batter Jeon Mir's bunt and caught Park Kwan-woo, who ran to third base. Later, he struck out Lee Seung-hyun and Kim Woo-hyuk and passed the inning.

Hwang Jun-seo struck out two in the second inning and made it a three-out inning. In the third inning, Park Kwan-woo allowed an infield hit after one out. However, he did not falter and finished the inning by catching Lim Jong-sung with a fly ball to second base and Jeon Mir with a fly ball to center field. In the fourth inning, he also struck out two more to keep him scoreless.

Hwang Joon-seo, who was cruising, suddenly collapsed in the fifth inning.

In the fifth inning, Park Kun-woo, the first batter, gave up a hit to the center field, and the third baseman made a mistake on Kim Se-hoon's bunt, making it the first and second bases with no outs. Hwang Joon-seo, who handled Park Kwan-woo's sacrifice bunt well, was hit by Lim Jong-sung with a timely triple.

The loss continued. Hwang Jun-seo allowed Jeon Mir to hit a double to Lee Seung-hyun in a timely turnaround. Hwang Joon-seo, who later lost an additional point due to a mistake by the first baseman, gave up five runs in the fifth inning alone and handed over the mound to Cho Dong-wook.

Jangchung High School followed with one point in the bottom of the fifth inning and one point in the bottom of the sixth inning. And in the bottom of the ninth inning, he scored two points dramatically to tie 7-7, but lost 7-8 as he gave up a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning.

Jang Hyun-suk was already eliminated on the 24th, a day before. In the quarterfinals against Jangchung High School, he recorded 3 hits, 4 walks, 14 strikeouts and no runs in 6⅔ innings, but the team lost 2-3.

Jangchung High School and Hwang Joon, who beat Jang Hyun-seok, also ended the tournament without reaching the final.

Hwang Joon-seo should also decide on his future course. A decision must be made before August 15, the date of application for the KBO rookie draft. As he is seriously considering the U.S. challenge, Hwang Joon-seo has also come to choose. 토토
