After clearing the chamber fence with frightening power, NC Matt Davidson returned to the dugout and posed for a cute photo. It was quite a reversal of fortune for the 1.90-meter tall, 100-plus-kilogram foreign slugger to have such an expression.
The NC Dinos won the away game against KIA 15-4 at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 21st. Davidson, who started the game at first base in the four-hole, went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and five RBIs.
Davidson was out of the lineup with a sore left elbow and was on the 10-day disabled list. He returned to the lineup the previous day against Gwangju KIA, but went 0-for-4 with a walk.
The Dinosaurs' slumbering bats exploded in the final game of the three-game series against NC, which was in desperate need of a win after losing two straight to the top-ranked KIA.
Davidson picked up his first hit since returning to the lineup with a double to center field in the top of the fifth inning with runners on first and second and a 7-2 lead. Davidson threw his arms in the air and celebrated with his teammates in the dugout as he stole second base.
With NC leading 9-4 in the top of the seventh, Davidson put runners on first and second with a three-run homer off Kim Sa-yoon. 안전놀이터 On a 1S pitch, Davidson drove Kim's two-seam, 129-mph changeup over the wall in right field. It was a 105-meter three-run shot that sent the opposition into a tailspin. It was Davidson's first home run in exactly two weeks since his last one against Changwon SSG on July 7th. Along with Davidson's home run, NC pounded out 16 hits and scored runs from all of its starters, winning 15-4 to shake off the disappointment of a second straight loss in the three-game weekend series.
