Kiwoom Heroes beat Hanwha Eagles 9-3 at Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark on October 4 in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League. Yonhap's Daejeon box score listed the result as Kiwoom 9-3 Hanwha. Chosun Ilbo, carrying an OSEN match review, reported that Kiwoom hit three home runs in the win and that starter An Woo-jin pitched five innings, striking out 10 batters and allowing three runs. [ 1 , 2 ]
According to Chosun Ilbo, the defeat was Hanwha's fifth in a row. The outlet reported Kiwoom's season record at 48 wins, 88 losses and 4 draws, a second consecutive win for the team it described as 10th in the league, and Hanwha's record at 55 wins, 80 losses and 4 draws, with the Eagles placed 9th. [ 2 ]
Chosun Ilbo's article text ends mid-sentence after naming An Woo-jin as the starting pitcher, so no further details of the game — such as the home run hitters, the remainder of Kiwoom's pitching or any post-match comment — appear in the documents. Neither document reports any reaction from either club. [ 2 ]
Why it matters
The game is a late-season KBO league result between two bottom-half teams, with Chosun Ilbo placing Kiwoom 10th and Hanwha 9th. For Hanwha, the reported fifth consecutive defeat extends a late-season slide, while Kiwoom recorded a second straight win. Both documents treat it as a routine league fixture with no wider consequence stated.

Confirmed by several sources
Still unclear
- The full course of the game, including the identity of the home run hitters and the rest of Kiwoom's pitching. Document 2's article text is cut off mid-sentence after naming An Woo-jin as the starting pitcher, and document 1 carries only the final score.
- Whether the reported season records and standings reflect the completion of all games that day. Only document 2 states the records and standings, and it does not say whether other games were still to be played.
