The KT achieved a winning streak (at least 2 wins out of 3 games) for the second time in a row, following the 3-game series against Lotte Giants in the middle of the week.

In the top of the second inning, LG gave up the first point due to a wild pitch by starting pitcher Son Ju-young with one out and runners on second and third base.

KT added one point in the bottom of the third with Jang Seong-woo’s timely hit after Bae Jeong-dae’s hit and Moon Sang-cheol’s walk, with runners on first and second base.

In the following attack, Oh Jae-il hit a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 3-0.

LG immediately closed the gap to one point with Kim Hyun-soo’s two-run home run in the bottom of the third.

With one out and a runner on first base and a 2-2 strike count, Hyun-soo Kim yanked a changeup from KT starter Sang-baek Eom down the middle and sent it over the fence.

KT won the battle of wits in the top of the sixth inning, effectively sealing the game.

When LG was in a crisis with one out and a runner on second base due to a throwing error by first baseman Austin Dean and a sacrifice bunt by Kim Sang-soo, they replaced the catcher from second-year catcher Kim Beom-seok to veteran Heo Do-hwan.

It was a plan to escape the crisis of losing runs with synergy with veteran bullpen Kim Jin-seong.

So KT sent Kang Baek-ho as a pinch hitter after 2 outs, and Kang Baek-ho pushed Kim Jin-seong’s fastball to the left of left field to get a valuable RBI.
