Today (the 3rd) in American women's professional baseball, a showdown took place between national team shortstop Park Joo-ah—who delivered stellar performances on the SBS show "Goal Hitters"—and national team catcher and cleanup hitter Kim Hyun-ah.
Park Joo-ah smiled first, leading her team to a resounding victory with a multi-hit performance.
Starting as the third baseman for San Francisco, Park Joo-ah picked up an RBI single in the 2nd inning, followed by an RBI double in the 3rd inning that the center fielder failed to catch.
Right from her debut match, she recorded a multi-hit game, two RBIs, and three reaches on base, leading her team to an 11-3 victory.
[Park Joo-ah / San Francisco Infielder: Because it is something I've always dreamed of, I think I felt very emotional. (In the U.S.) I think I can focus solely on baseball. That is perhaps the happiest part, and I felt that a lot today, hoping it will continue.]
Kim Hyun-ah, stepping up as the cleanup hitter for Boston, did not record a hit, but she reached base via a walk and an error, successfully scoring both times.
