Van Hekken and Heroes Hit a Bump in Korean Play-offs

Andy Van Hekken and the Nexen Heroes bullpen allowed six runs in the top of the eighth inning as the LG Twins evened their KBO semi-final series against Nexen at one game apiece with a 9-2 victory Tuesday night.

Van Hekken had allowed two runs (one earned) through the first seven innings of the contest, before the wheels fell off in the fateful eighth.  He departed after two batters with one out and a runner on second.  After four walks, one hit by pitch, one single, one double and a sacrifice fly allowed by the Heroes bullpen, the Twins held an 8-2 lead.

The Best of Five Series resumes with Game Three on Thursday night.  Van Hekken is slated to pitch again in Game Five on Sunday.
