The Hanwha Eagles snapped a three-game losing streak against the Doosan Bears at home. Hanwha won 6-1 on the second day of a three-game weekend series against Doosan at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on Wednesday.
The win snapped a five-game losing streak and improved Hanwha’s record to 39 wins, five draws and 52 points. Doosan fell to 49 wins, one draw and 46 losses, leaving them one win shy of reaching 50 for the season.
Hanwha had a relatively easy time of it, thanks to a strong start from Moon Dong-ju and a home run from Noh Si-hwan. Moon threw 102 pitches over six innings against the Doosan bats, allowing just one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five to earn the win.

He added another win for the first time in over a month. It was his seventh win of the season. Doosan starter Kwak Bin took the loss, allowing four runs on eight hits (one home run) with two walks and six strikeouts in 6.1 innings. He suffered his fifth loss of the season (9 wins).
Hanwha struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Noh Si-hwan, batting with one out, swung at a three-pitch pitch from Kwak Bin. He smashed it over the right-centre fence for a two-run home run (his 27th of the season).
Noh fired up the cannon again three days after his three-homer game against KT Wiz on the 9th of this month, and with his single, he remained atop the home run leaderboard. He extended his lead over second-place Choi Jung (SSG Landers, 21 home runs) to six.

Doosan got a run back in the top of the sixth when Jose Rojas hit an RBI triple. Trailing 2-1, Hanwha rallied in the bottom of the seventh. Lee Do-yoon hit a two-run double to make it 3-1.
More runs followed. With runners on first and second, Noh Si-hwan came up to bat again and hit a two-run double to bring both runners home.
With the score 5-1, Hanwha sealed the victory in the bottom of the eighth when Lee Do-yoon hit another RBI single. Noh finished 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs, while Lee Do-yoon was 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs to lead the offence.
