"I forgot the feeling of winning."

Song Seong-mun of the Korea Professional Baseball Kiwoom Heroes made a remarkable performance as the starting third baseman on the 4th at the Busan Sajik Stadium against the Lotte Giants, achieving 2 hits (1 home run) out of 5 at-bats and 6 RBIs, leading the team to a 9-6 victory.

On that day, Kiwoom fell behind 0-2 early in the game. In the bottom of the 3rd, they scored on a careless defense. Before entering the top of the 4th, Lee Yong-kyu, who serves as a playing coach, called a meeting in the dugout, leading the meeting’s atmosphere with a somewhat intense tone, awakening the players' alertness.

Ultimately, Song Seong-mun resolved the situation. In a two-out, bases-loaded opportunity in the top of the 4th inning, he hit a 3-RBI double to left-center, turning the score to 3-2.

Then, in the top of the 6th, tied at 3-3 with one out and runners on first and second, he launched a three-run home run to left field, completing a game with a personal record tying 6 RBIs. Song Seong-mun broke the ice, and following him, home runs by Lee Hyung-jong and Park Soo-jong contributed to the significant victory.

Kiwoom, which ended a long 10-game losing streak, is now returning to form. After escaping from the 10-game losing streak, they have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. Song Seong-mun shed tears in a broadcast interview after breaking the losing streak. He said, "I received a lot of sympathy. I think I forgot the feeling of winning at that time. Now I want to receive many congratulatory messages. I can finally smile now."

Regarding the game, he commented, "In a situation where we needed to score and pull away, the lower order somehow managed to get on base, so I concentrated more." He added, "I thought not to be late on the fastball timing, and when the ball came to the outside corner, I managed to hit it at the right time, which led to good results."

On Lee Yong-kyu's meeting, he said, "If he was strong, he spoke strongly." He mentioned that while the pitchers were doing well, the fielders were not scoring and their defensive concentration was declining, and they couldn’t help the pitchers. He emphasized the need to get on base and score to support the pitchers.

He also stated, "Today, the pitchers struggled a lot with multi-innings. Thanks to their solid performance, we were able to continue the winning atmosphere, and I hope there are more games where the fielders can repay that effort in the future."

After the game, Manager Hong Won-ki noted, "Kim Yun-ha did well for 4 innings, and the relief pitchers Kim Seon-gi and Lee Kang-jun also made good pitches to break the flow of the opponent. Joo Seung-woo and Won Jong-hyun also calmly handled the crisis situations well."

He added, "At the plate, Song Seong-mun made decisive contributions with a 3-RBI hit and a three-run home run, and the home runs from Lee Hyung-jong and Park Soo-jong sealed the victory."

He also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the fans who came all the way to Busan to show immense support. "We will prepare well for tomorrow's game," he promised.
