In the face of a sweep chance and crisis, a blood clot without a finish.

Kiwoom Heroes and KIA Tigers will play the last game of three consecutive games at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 28th.

Kiwoom swept all the previous two games. It was a rebellion by the last team. The opponent was No. 1 KIA. Coincidentally, the fate of the two teams was divided with three consecutive wins and three consecutive losses.



Depending on the results of the game on the 28th, consecutive wins and losses may be longer along with whether or not to sweep the three consecutive games. However, it is a game in which both teams open the back door. It is impossible to predict what the trend will be in the second half of the game.

In the case of Kiwoom, closer Joo Seung-woo collapsed on the 27th. It was the aftermath of three consecutive games. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki defended Joo Seung-woo, saying, `He said he didn't feel good from the time he warmed up.' Of course, this day is a day off. Coach Hong said "I put him on the list of non-playable players"

KIA is also in a bad situation. The previous day, he made Jeon Sang-hyun throw as many as 44 pitches by posting eight temporary finishes. It would have been nice to win the game, but Jeon Sang-hyun wrote the worst-case scenario in the bottom of the ninth inning by allowing Song Sung-moon a walk-off hit.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said, `Considering various circumstances, I dragged Jeon Sang-hyun to the end of the ninth inning,' adding, `Of course, I can't throw today. Choi Jimin is also taking a break. I'll run the game with the rest of the pitchers."



It also explained the return plan of the 'original' finishes. Kiwoom Cho Sang-woo and KIA Jung Hae-young are both out due to shoulder problems. Coach Hong said, `Cho Sang-woo is available for registration on the 5th of next month. I received a report that my condition has improved, and if there is no abnormality, I plan to upload it at that time." Coach Lee also said, `Jeong Hae-young will take the mound next week, and if there is no problem, he will come up right away.'
