It was a great day for Jae-gyun Hwang, the 29-year-old Korean import in his first big league camp. Earlier on Saturday, he was named the Barney Nugent award winner, given to the player who is the best performer in his first major league Spring Training as voted on by his teammates and coaches. He capped the day off with a walk-off basehit, blooping a Carlos Fisher fastball that barely dropped in in front of center fielder Allen Cordoba.
The final rally had Spring Training written all over it. The Giants overcame a 7-1 deficit to enter the ninth inning tied, and Justin Ruggiano led off the final frame with a four-pitch walk.
