After the game, Oh Jae-il explained about the timely hit situation in the top of the 8th inning, "(Moon) Sang-cheol really hit well before my turn to create an opportunity. Since there was a runner on third base, I tried to hit confidently thinking that it was the last chance to tie the score."

He added, "I thought I should aim for a fastball since the count was 2-1 and the batter's count was 1. In fact, I thought the ball would go over Lions Park right after I hit it, but it hit the fence so it was a shame."

Oh Jae-il said, "Looking back on past games, there were some disappointing parts in my at-bats, but today (the 28th) I think I repaid the trust of the team and the coaching staff even a little. I want to take good care of my condition and help the team win more next week." He expressed his determination.
