a two-out full base in the bottom of the second inning,
Kim Do-young, who entered the
at-bats, pulls Cuban ace Moello's first pitch and easily crosses the left fence.
The dugout and spectators were surprised by a thunderbolt home run.
This is the moment when a KBO superstar made his first home run in an international competition into a grand slam.
The baseball team, which scored two points first, quickly widened the gap to six points and succeeded in gaining the upper hand.
Kim Do-young also shone in defense.
Drake's strong ball jumped and out, and Walters' line drive ball was also caught at an incredible reaction speed.
A fast base run that settles to second base even after a single hit, and a wedge home run that breaks the opponent's will to chase,
He imprinted his performance in professional baseball this season on the international stage.
On the mound, starter Kwak Bin stopped four scoreless innings, and six pitchers, including Soh Hyung-joon, erased the innings one after another.
Cuba began its pursuit late by stealing a back-to-back home run from Kim Taek-yeon, who took the mound in the eighth inning, but it was not enough to overturn the gap.
The national baseball team reported a pleasant first win against Cuba, wiping out the pain of losing to Taiwan in just one game.
In addition, ahead of the match against Japan, which is considered the best in the group, both pitching and hitting have achieved a result of charging their confidence.
