The game was the official first game of the regular season at Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon, Hanwha's new stadium.
Starting pitcher Ponce allowed seven hits, eight strikeouts and two runs in seven innings, and the team came from behind to win 7-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the victory, Hanwha escaped its fourth consecutive loss.
Ponce showed a strong pitch on the mound and turned the mood around by encouraging his teammates in the dugout.
After trailing 0-1, Ponce beckoned and called in the fielders after the top of the fifth inning. "I trust you guys. If we score just one run, it'll work out for us, so let's cheer up," Ponce told his teammates in front of the dugout.
The players seemed slightly embarrassed by the unprecedented collection of foreign players, but they listened to Ponce and focused.
Since the season's opening, the team had lost four consecutive games, and the atmosphere of the team was in a slump. Despite frustration due to lack of batters, Ponce trusted his teammates and encouraged them to the end, boosting the team's mood to the fullest.
Hanwha's batters, who supported Ponce's support, targeted the KIA bullpen from the bottom of the seventh inning, and scored seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings.
"It's an honor to be able to throw at the opening game at my home, but I'm really happy that I became the winning pitcher at the first official game held at a new stadium. It's all thanks to my teammates who tried to win in unison. I was able to become the winning pitcher because I gave up so many points after pitching in the seventh inning," Ponce said after the game.
Ponce showed the true meaning of team sports, making us look forward to the future even more.
