The Hanwha Eagles faced the SSG Landers in a critical game on September 27th, aiming to break a three-game losing streak. The team started strong, scoring four runs in the first inning against SSG's starting pitcher Kim Geon-woo, who struggled with control.

The article highlights the unusual nature of the substitution, posing the question of why a player would be removed so early in the game, especially after a seemingly successful offensive inning for the team.
