baseball-game Heroes rally past Dinos on home turfBy Yoo Jee-ho SEOUL, July 4 (Yonhap) -- The NC Dinos did something Tuesday that no other team in South Korean baseball had done before in 2023: scoring twice off Kiwoom Heroes ace An Woo-jin in the first inning. And they still lost the game. The Heroes rallied from that early 2-0 deficit for an 8-4 win at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, handing the Dinos their fourth straight loss. Lee Jung-hoo of the Kiwoom Heroes hits an RBI single against the NC Dinos during the bottom of the fifth inning of a Korea Baseball Organization regular season game at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on July 4, 2023.

An iconic image: Teresa Taylor as Pap Smear Pusher with Ultimate Loser (Scott Marcus) and Stephanie From Dallas (Stella Weir) in Slacker – (courtesy of Detour Filmproduction) Richard Linklater: Teresa Taylor, ICON.
