Kiwoom Heroes foreign pitcher Tyler Appler collapsed without receiving any defensive help.

Appler started the first leg of the 2022 KBO Postseason Playoff (PO) with the LG Twins held at Jamsil Stadium on the 24th, but gave up 6 hits and 4 runs (1 earned run) in 3 innings and then saved 0-4 in the bottom of the 4th inning. He passed the mound to pitcher Yang Hyun.

For Apple, there was no choice but to leave a lot of regret. On the 19th, Appler suffered due to defense against KT Wiz in the third game of the semi-playoff (quasi-PO). At that time, shortstop Shin Jun-woo made three mistakes. Nevertheless, he did not waver and led the victory by playing 6 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts and 1 run (non-proprietary run) over 5 innings.

Today was different. Kiwoom Yasujin failed to help Appler this day as well, and like the previous game, he made mistakes. Appler's first run at the end of the second inning was directly due to second baseman Kim Hye-sung's bad throw to first base. The two runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning were due to an unrecorded mistake by left fielder Kim Jun-wan.

While leading hitter Hong Chang-gi was on base with an infield hit to second base, left fielder Kim Jun-wan took the next hitter Park Hae-min's floating ball with plenty of room. At this time, first base runner Hong Chang-gi started with second base. If Kim Jun-wan had thrown the ball to second base quickly, Hong Chang-ki could have been prevented from going to second base.

However, after Kim Jun-wan caught the ball, he missed the ball a moment later, and Hong Chang-gi lived at second base comfortably. Kim Hyun-soo's right-handed hit continued, and Appler's conceded score increased to two points.

LG created two-for-one and third-base opportunities with Chae Eun-sung's left-handed hit and Oh Ji-hwan's second-base ground ball. Appler led Moon Bo-kyung to a shallow outfield fly even in difficult circumstances.

However, Kiwoom's defense did not handle this hit well. Lee Jung-hoo, who was running forward, was able to catch him, but he yielded to shortstop Hwi-jip Kim. However, Kim Hwi-jip was forced to follow and missed the batting position. As a result, he caught no one. The official record is shortstop Kim Hwi-jip's muzzle error.

To make matters worse, Lee Jung-hoo's bad accusation came out. LG, as well as third-base runners, stepped on the groove with plenty of room. It was the moment when Appler, who had been holding up so hard, collapsed.

LG starter Casey Kelly also had a crisis. However, at every turning point, Yasujin's lake rain shone. On the other hand, Yasujin of Kiwoom could not help Appler and made it difficult. It was a force majeure for Apple.
