'Can you believe it?' Lucky home run aided by glove and fence; Noh Si-hwan says, 'I should buy you a meal'

Noh Si-hwan of the Hanwha Eagles hit a dramatic, albeit lucky, home run against the LG Twins, extending his impressive streak of consecutive 20-home run seasons. The play unfolded in a game that saw the Eagles tied 4-4 with LG.

The pivotal moment occurred when Noh Si-hwan connected with a pitch. The ball appeared to be heading for an out as it soared towards the fence. However, in a twist of fate, the ball struck the top of the fence, bounced back into the field of play, and then fortuitously hit an outfielder's glove before rolling over the fence for a home run.

This fortunate bounce secured Noh Si-hwan his 21st home run of the season. More significantly, it marked his second consecutive game with a home run and solidified his fourth consecutive season with at least 20 home runs, a testament to his consistent power hitting.

Following the game, Noh Si-hwan reportedly joked with teammate Song Chan-ui, suggesting he owes Song a meal for his "help" on the play, acknowledging the unusual circumstances that contributed to the home run. The game itself was a hard-fought contest, with both teams exchanging blows before reaching a tie.
