[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gimhae High School in Gyeongnam won the championship for the first time in a national tournament since its establishment in 2002 at the 74th Golden Lion Flag National High School Baseball Tournament.

Gimhae High was trailing 1-3 in the final match against Gangneung High held on the 22nd at Mokdong Stadium in Seoul, but scored 3 runs in the top of the 9th inning to achieve a dramatic come-from-behind victory with a score of 4-3.

The person who led the Gimhae High baseball team to its first national tournament championship in 18 years since its founding is Manager Park Mu-seung. Gimhae High, which had never reached the semifinals or finals of a national tournament, rose to become the top baseball team in the country just one year after Manager Park took office in June last year.

Manager Park Mu-seung said, "Based on mutual trust and confidence that we could do it, we conducted intensive training such as strength and lower body exercises, and after building stamina, we combined baseball skills to achieve good results in a short period of time," sharing his thoughts on the victory.

On the 23rd, including Mayor Heo Seong-gon of Gimhae, City Council Chairman Kim Hyung-su, City Sports Association Chairman Heo Mun-seong, and city council members, gathered at the small conference room of Gimhae City Hall to encourage the manager, coaches, and 38 players by presenting bouquets and other gifts for their hard work.
