KIA succeeded in turning it upside down...KS wins first game

KIA came from behind to win Game 1 of the Korean Series, which was repeated as the first suspended game in postseason history.

Samsung gave up two runs on a pitcher's wild pitch.

Let's connect with the reporter to hear more details. Reporter Lee Kyungjae!

In the end, the home team KIA took it in the first game.

Yes, the bunt split the joys and sorrows of the two teams with no-out runners on the first and second bases.

Samsung completely lost the atmosphere due to a series of wild pitches.

With a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning, no-outs, first and second bases, and Samsung's attack continued the first game.

Kim Young-woong's sending bunt fell in front of the catcher, and the runner who was going to third base was out.

Here, Samsung missed the opportunity to score an extra point.

KIA, which overcame the crisis, had the same no-out first and second base chance in the seventh inning, but Kim Tae-gun made the second and third bases when he gave it an accurate sending bunt.

Samsung wanted to overcome the crisis by catching two outs, but two runners on the second and third bases stepped home one after another as Lim Chang-min threw wild pitches one after another.

And KIA ran away two more points as Socrates and Kim Do-young made timely hits.

In the end, KIA won the first game of the Korean Series, which took place for three days until yesterday's break, 5-1 with Kim Tae-gun's timely hit in the eighth inning.

Samsung's mound, which had been holding out well, lost concentration in an instant.

The second game will continue right away, so if you can predict it?

[Reporter]
The bigger the game, the more important the momentum is, but the atmosphere has moved on to KIA.

Samsung has no choice but to be disappointed that the first game, which was on a good track, has been suspended.

In the second game, Yang Hyun-jong, who is a symbol of the team, takes the starting mound for KIA.

He still pitched well with 11 wins and 5 losses this season, and he played in five games against Samsung and recorded a 5.13 ERA without winning or losing.

Above all, in 2017, when KIA won just before, I have an unforgettable memory of starting in the second game of the Korean Series and winning 1-0 shutout against Doosan.

It is also a good thing for KIA that Kim Do-young and Socrates hit a timely hit side by side today.

Samsung's starting pitcher is Hwang Dong-jae.

It is true that the weight of the starting pitcher is leaning toward KIA because he played in 15 games and recorded 1-2 losses this season between the starting pitcher and the bullpen.

For Samsung, I'm also worried that the lineup has been silent for three games in the postseason.

In three games and 27 innings, including two games against LG, he scored only two points from home runs.

In this way, KIA has no choice but to have an advantage in the second game.

But the results can't be easily predicted.

The second game starts at 6:30 p.m.
