Yesterday (August 3), in American professional women's baseball, 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 faced off against each other.

Park Joo-ah came out on top, leading her team to a massive victory with a multi-hit performance.

Starting as the third baseman for San Francisco, Park drove in an RBI single in the second inning, followed by an RBI double in the third inning that the center fielder failed to catch.

From her debut match, she recorded a multi-hit game, 2 RBIs, and reached base three times, leading her team to an 11–3 victory.

[Park Joo-ah / San Francisco Infielder: I think it was so touching because it's something I've always dreamed of. (In the U.S.) I think I can focus solely on baseball. That's the happiest part, and I felt that a lot today, hoping it continues.]

Kim Hyun-ah, stepping up as the cleanup hitter for Boston, did not record a hit, but she managed to reach base via a walk and an error, successfully scoring both times.
