After the game, coach Lee Kang-cheol said, “Starter Benjamin allowed big innings in the beginning, but after he found stability, he did his part. The bullpen pitchers who came after him also blocked them well with minimal runs.”
In addition, he added, “Veterans led the attack and showed concentration in the top and bottom batting lines,” adding, “Park Byung-ho, Jang Jun-won, and Jeon Jeon-joo, who returned from injury, showed good performances, so I think they will help the team in the future.”
