KT Wiz also decorated the winning series of three consecutive games. Little by little, they're chasing the middle ground. I wonder if I can recreate the 'magical journey' that went from last place to second place last season.
In the final game of the three consecutive games during the week against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 27th, KT won a 16-8 victory thanks to the batting lineup that exploded with 19 hits and Benjamin's solid performance as a starter. All 16 points and 19 hits are KT's most in a game this season.
KT finished the three consecutive games with two wins and one loss. KT, which met the Lotte Giants and LG Twins last week and recorded two wins and one loss in three consecutive games, succeeded in the winning series for the third consecutive time by finishing the three consecutive SSG games with the advantage. He reduced his gap with fifth-place SSG from six games to five. SSG lost, but remained in fifth place amid the shock of fifth-place rival NC Dinos being swept by the lowest Kiwoom Heroes.

Then SSG tied the game immediately in the first inning. As soon as the game began, Park Ji-hwan and Choo Shin-soo had hits and doubles, and Choi Jeong's sacrifice fly made it easy to score two runs.
Then KT scored again in the second inning. When Rojas hit, SSG left fielder Elias' throwing error came out, and Kim Sang-soo homered.
This time, it's SSG's turn again. Choi Jeong's tying double in the bottom of the third inning and Herredia's timely hit to come from behind.

KT, which took the lead, knocked on the SSG bullpen in the top of the seventh inning to create a five-run big inning once again. SSG was completely panicked as Oh Jae-il, Bae Jeong-dae, and Hwang Jae-gyun made three consecutive hits and even SSG pitcher Seo Jin-yong's throwing error.

KT completely stopped breathing after Hwang Jae-kyun hit a two-run timely hit in the ninth inning against SSG, which lost its fighting spirit. SSG gave a small gift to the home fans who cheered until the end, scoring two runs with a timely hit by Herredia and Ko Myung-joon in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Meanwhile, SSG Shirakawa, who is nearing the end of his six-week contract as the first short-term substitute foreign pitcher in the KBO, pitched well with five runs (3 earned runs) by five ⅓ in what could be his last start at SSG. Kang Baek-ho allowed a two-run shot in the first inning, but he pitched bravely and well until he went down the mound. In the second inning, he gave a score in vain due to an error, but he had to go down the mound in the sixth inning due to Choi Jeong's error and cry because Ko Hyo-joon allowed an equalizer and a come-from-behind home run. SSG will soon make a final decision on which of Elias and Shirakawa will be left as foreign pitchers.
