여수 아파트 화단에 신생아 시신 유기 혐의 20대 여성 체포

Dae-yeong Bong, South Korea's ace pitcher from the Lotte Giants, faced off against Japanese pitcher Higuchi Shin in the Asia Games final in Tokyo. After two days of solid pitching, Higuchi's control in the 7 innings had left South Korea's batters silent at the plate. The decisive moment would be Bong's performance at the mound, where his fastball and curveball would be put to the test.

Bong will take to the mound on the 27th in the Asia Games baseball final in Aichi, Japan, where he has been leading the league in ERA and strikeouts. After a week off, Higuchi returned to the mound on the 24th with a perfect game, and is expected to maintain his dominance. Bong, known for his fastball and changeup, has been a standout in the 2022 Super League, earning two All-Star honors.

The South Korean lineup needs to find a way to adapt quickly to Higuchi's pitching to secure victory and end the country's 20-year losing streak in the Asia Games.
