  • NC Dinos pitcher Changmo Koo delivered a dominant performance, shutting out KT Wiz for seven innings.
  • Koo's strong outing helped NC secure a 3-0 victory, ending KT's eight-game winning streak.
  • NC's Siwon Park hit a solo home run in the third inning, providing the game's decisive offense.

NC Dinos ace pitcher Changmo Koo proved his dominance once again, stifling the league-leading KT Wiz and halting their winning streak.

Koo pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and four walks while striking out five batters. This stellar performance earned him his ninth win of the season against four losses. The NC Dinos secured a 3-0 victory over KT at their home stadium in Changwon, snapping a six-game losing streak against the Wiz.

KT's starting pitcher, So-hyeong Jun, also had a strong outing, pitching seven innings and giving up just one run on four hits, including a home run, with one walk and eight strikeouts. However, he was unable to get enough offensive support and suffered his first loss of the season, bringing his record to 6-1.

The deadlock was broken in the bottom of the third inning when NC's leadoff hitter, Siwon Park, connected with a 138 km/h slider from Jun, sending a towering 130-meter solo home run over the right-field fence for his second home run of the season.

NC added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning against KT reliever Sugimoto, sealing their victory and preventing KT from extending their winning streak to eight games.

A healthy Changmo Koo is, as expected, unstoppable.
