The 'big guns' Samsung defeated LG with five home runs, winning two consecutive playoff games, and leaving only one win to advance to the Korean Series.

On the mound, native ace Won Tae-in blocked one run until the second out of the seventh inning and served as an ace.

The start was a bit unsettling.

He got consecutive hits from Shin Min-jae and Austin in the first inning, and allowed Kim Hyun-soo to get on base with a ground ball, allowing one run.

However, this was the last time Won Tae-in lost a point.

Since then, he has played a role as a native ace by blocking LG's batters without losing a point until the second out of the seventh inning.

With an amazing 'command' that sends the ball exactly where you want it, it has escaped the crisis on its own at every turn.

The horror lineup devastated the LG mound with five home runs.

Kim Heon-gon hit consecutive home runs as he failed to taste his first fall baseball home run in his life,

Diaz also joined the lineup of consecutive home runs and swept three RBIs.

Samsung, which also helped Kim Young-woong with home runs in two consecutive games, showed off its hot bat that did not cool down with double-digit scores in two consecutive games.

LG struggled with the game as trusted starter Son Joo-young was pulled out after less than five innings.

He had to be satisfied with chasing four more runs with home runs by Park Hae-min and Kim Hyun-soo in the last attack of the ninth inning.

Samsung, which won two consecutive home games, is in an advantageous position to advance to the long-awaited Korean Series if it wins just one victory in Game 3 and 4 in Jamsil, Seoul.

However, the fact that Samsung's team's main catcher Koo Ja-wook injured his knee while stealing and failed to play in Game 3 and 4 is expected to serve as a variable for the rest of the series.
