NC Dinos infielder Seo Ho-cheol was substituted due to injury.
On the 3rd, Seo Ho-cheol started as the sixth first baseman in the game against the Lotte Giants at Busan Sajik Stadium.
With a 2-0 lead, Seo squandered an opportunity by hitting a ground ball double play in the first inning with one out and runners on first and second. In the top of the third inning, with the score tied at 3-3 and two outs with runners on first and third, he hit a timely double that struck the third baseman's glove and rolled out beyond the foul line, taking a 4-3 lead.
However, after reaching second base, Seo showed unusual symptoms in his left leg. His gait appeared abnormal. Eventually, the trainer determined that he was in no condition to continue playing. He was immediately substituted.
The team noted, 'Seo Ho-cheol was substituted for player protection due to tightness in his left hamstring. He is currently receiving ice treatment.'
