After the match, Jung said, “I’m happy, I’m very happy. It was a long game, but it feels good to get the win.” “My overall batting performance was good today, so I went into the batter’s box with confidence. I tried to hit line drives rather than ground balls, and it led to good results,” he smiled. He continued, “After going to the Futures (second team), I was mentally stabilized and my technique was solidified. I also heard a lot of good things, which made me feel more relaxed. The season is coming to an end and I want to finish with a good feeling. Rather than putting it down as bad, I will try my best to make up for it and finish it off.” Hanwha head coach Choi Won-ho also applauded Jung’s performance. “She had four hits, including the final out, and helped us win the game,” Choi said.
