In the second game with the same pitcher in the third inning, an RBI opportunity came with two outs and a third base, and he played to the eighth pitch, but he struck out swinging. He faced off by hitting four foul balls, but the result was disappointing.
In the top of the fifth inning, he came out as the leadoff hitter and made the only hit of the game, but he was withdrawn due to a fly ball to left field.
Song Sung-moon, who faced Josh Simpson, a changed pitcher in the top of the sixth inning, once again sought an RBI single with two outs and a third base opportunity, but Simpson’s ball was not sharp. He walked straight to base.
In the top of the eighth inning, facing Troy Taylor in the fifth at-bat, he struck out on a 2-2 count when the bat went out on a high slider on the outside.
In defense, he gained experience by playing shortstop positions without errors. Tacoma won the game 6-5.
