With KIA winning two consecutive games first, the Korean Series in professional baseball will now move the venue to Daegu.

KIA is aiming for three consecutive wins, and Samsung is trying to turn the mood around at home, and mistakes have emerged as variables that will determine the outcome.

I'm reporter Yang Si-chang.

Game 1 of the Korean Series, which was suspended due to rain and resumed in two days, was the decisive scene of Samsung's Lim Chang-min's wild pitching.

He threw wild pitches and allowed two runs on the second and third bases with no outs.

Samsung, which dedicated the score it didn't have to give, eventually collapsed.

In the second game, which was held an hour later, a decisive error came out in the beginning.

Kang Min-ho's check ball, thrown to catch the runner on second base, passed shortstop Lee Jae-hyun and flowed backward.

This scene served as an excuse for the massive loss of 5 points in the first inning.

On the other hand, KIA contrasted with Na Sung-bum and Kim Do-young, who shook off Samsung's pursuit with a series of good defense.

[Lee Bum-ho / KIA manager: We don't always ask big orders from players in the season or in big games. Because the players prepared well, and the players played well accordingly...]

In the past, 20 times, a team that played the first and second games in the Korean Series won.

Only two times have the double series been turned upside down.It means that the team that gave up both


1 and Game 2 has only a 10% chance of winning the upset, and one thing to note is that one of the two is Samsung in 2013.

At that time, Samsung was able to bring about the flow as Doosan's coaches made a mistake in visiting the mound twice in Game 3 after losing the first and second games to Doosan.

[Park Jin-man / Samsung manager: We lost two games, but we can bring that kind of atmosphere from Daegu, so we will take a good rest and prepare well to go to Daegu and have a good game.]

This season, Samsung showed a watertight defense with 81 errors in 144 games, the fewest among the 10 clubs,
On the contrary, KIA made the most errors with 146.

Leaving behind the first and second games, when the opposite of the regular season record came out, the team that reduces mistakes is expected to gain an advantage in the third game in Daegu.

It's YTN Yang Si-chang.
