  • Noh Si-hwan hit his 150th career home run for the Hanwha Eagles against the Lotte Giants.
  • The homer helped Hanwha end a nine-game losing streak.
  • Noh said he focused on ending the streak and staying sharp defensively rather than celebrating the milestone.

Noh Si-hwan reached a personal milestone, but he had little time to celebrate it. The Hanwha Eagles slugger hit his 150th career home run in a game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan.

The home run also ended Hanwha’s nine-game losing streak, giving the blast added significance for the team. Noh started at third base and batted fifth, finishing the game with two hits in five at-bats.

Yet the milestone was quickly overshadowed by Hanwha’s immediate situation. Noh said his only thought was ending the nine-game skid, and he concentrated on defense as the game continued.

I was only thinking about ending the nine-game losing streak, so I focused on defense.
