Kudron rose to the top a month ago with a 3-0 thrashing of Casidocostas. He fired 14 consecutive hits, 10 consecutive hits, and 9 consecutive hits like firecrackers, recording an average of 6.429.
And on the 5th, the two met again. We were able to meet early because we organized groups according to rankings. It was the round of 32 at the 2023 Crown Haitai PBA Championship.
Will it be another Big Bang?
Like the ‘king of banking’, Kudron put his inner strength as if he were touching a cushion and took the lead. It was 4 consecutive hits in 1 inning. Kasidocostas was an empty hitter. It was a little lacking start, but it didn’t seem to be much different from a month ago.
However, Kudron’s shot feeling was different. It was an empty hit in 2 innings and two consecutive hits in 3 innings. The same goes for Casidocostas. He did not score even in the 2nd and 3rd innings.
It wasn’t the time when I finished the 3rd set in 7 innings. The score in 7 innings was only 9:8. Kasidocostas had a one-run lead as he fired eight straight hits in four innings.
Kudron was unable to hit. It was either an empty hit or a single hit. Kasido Costas had two consecutive hits. Thanks to that, I had the first set at 15:11. I barely finished it in 12 innings…l
2nd set, will there be a twist? 스포츠토토
Kudron, who hit the first two innings, opened the door in the fourth inning. But it was a single shot. In the 11th inning, Kudlong broke his 6th consecutive hit. 6:10 quickly became 12:10.
It seemed to be starting now, but at the beginning of the 12th inning, Kasido Costas hit 5 consecutive hits and finished the set with 15:12.
The atmosphere seems to be different. Couldn’t Kudron go so empty?
He missed one inning, but he hit four consecutive hits in the second inning. He was hesitant, but the feeling of the shot seemed to come alive.
But Kasidocostas did not give him a chance. With 6 consecutive hits in 3 innings and 8 consecutive hits in 5 innings, the game was settled at 15:8. They shot down for the first time, ending the game in 5 innings.
It was not as exciting as the quarterfinals at the NH Championships a month ago. It reminded me once again that Kudron and Kasido Costas can be ordinary. Still, it was pretty sticky, as rival matches sometimes are, and the outcome changed.
The content was very different, but Kasido Costas made it to the round of 16 with a 3-0 revenge match. His career record is 3 wins and 2 losses.
