"44 games are important."

KIA Tigers played 100 games at the end of the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes match on the 28th.

During 100 games, KIA ranked first with 60 wins, 2 draws and 38 losses. He is six games behind the second-place LG Twins (53 wins, 2 draws and 43 losses).

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho expressed his intention to build a victory until the last minute, although the top spot in the regular season is getting closer for the first time in seven years since 2017.

Lee played 100 games, but 44 games are important. It's important how you take the winning game of the remaining games. I think it will be better to focus and things like that. I'll go the same way."

However, he also expressed his intention to catch the victory with a clear 'all-out war' when the opportunity comes. Coach Lee said, `I will not think of the game the next day, but think of it as a game that will win until the fifth inning. If we win the game that we have to win step by step, I think we will get good results in the regular season. I'll tap the stone bridge one by one and move on."

KIA lost 0-3 against Kiwoom on the 28th and then added two points in the eighth and ninth innings, winning 4-3. KIA, which lost three consecutive games by a point in both of the previous two games, was able to end the week in a good mood by breaking the losing streak. By winning 60 games in the season, he had a 76.5% chance of winning.

Manager Lee said, "(When (Choi) Won-jun hit a home run in the eighth inning, I thought he would lose all three games by one point." In the ninth inning, (Kim) Sun-bin hit a home run and tied the game, and (Byeon) Woo-hyuk entered the batter's box in a comfortable situation, which resulted in good results. In addition, (Yang) Hyun-jong did his part in defense errors, and the players who split one inning were good, so he was able to come from behind to win"The players also have a strong will to win somehow, and I feel proud as a first-place team. I think the players are more focused, and I think they will do their best because they think it's an important game."

Meanwhile, Kia formed its starting lineup against Doosan on the 30th in the order of Socrates Brico (left-winger), Choi Won-joon (center fielder), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Byun Woo-hyuk (first baseman), Han Jun-su (captor), and Park Chan-ho (striker). The starting pitcher will be Cam Aldred.
