No-out 1st and 2nd base in the 6th inning with a 1-0 lead.

Samsung was sorry that it couldn't take advantage of this opportunity due to Kim Young-woong's bunt failure.

KIA made the second and third bases with Kim Tae-gun's sending in the same no-out first and second bases in the seventh inning, and Samsung's Lim Chang-min's consecutive wild pitches turned the game around.

Socrates, Kim Do-young, and Kim Tae-gun's timely hit continued in the eighth inning, and KIA took the first game 5-1.

KIA's bat, which gained momentum, did not cool down in the second game, which continued an hour later.

From the first inning, Kim Do-young's infield ground ball scored the first run and Choi Hyung-woo, Na Sung-bum, Kim Sun-bin and Lee Woo-sung drove four consecutive hits to lead to 5-0.

In the second inning, Kim Do-young pushed Lee Seung-min's fastball following starter Hwang Dong-jae and dropped it off the fence.

It was an important shot to break Samsung's will to chase.

KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong, who took the mound as the starting pitcher for the Korean Series for the first time in seven years since the shutout of the second game against Doosan in 2017, had a hit every inning except for the fifth inning, but he overcame the crisis skillfully and became a winning pitcher.

He also broke the record for the oldest starting win in the history of Korean pitchers in the Korean Series.

KIA, which won 8-3 with bullpen pitchers such as
Jang Hyun-sik and Jung Hae-young taking charge of the remaining innings, took a big step toward winning the integrated championship with two consecutive home wins.

Samsung, which was left disappointed by the suspension of the first game on Monday, packed up for Daegu in anticipation of a counterattack in the third and fourth games with Reyes and Won Tae-in ahead.
