KT's remarkable victory continues. KT won 6-0 against the NC Dinos at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 19th. It was 'one shot, one kill'. I didn't miss just one chance.
On this day, KT was blocked by NC starter Kyle Hart with four hits, two walks and nine strikeouts until the sixth inning. Um Sang-baek also pitched equally well with one hit, eight strikeouts and three walks in six innings, but failed to score a point, and a close game of 0-0 continued.
Then at the end of the seventh inning. KT began to break down the NC bullpen. Kim Min-hyuk's triple, Shim Woo-joon's timely hit, and Kim Sang-soo's hit made three consecutive hits against Lim Jung-ho, followed by Mel Rojas Jr., Kang Baek-ho, Moon Sang-chul and Jang Sung-woo's four consecutive timely hits. KT beat the NC mound by scoring as many as six points in the seventh inning alone and won the game with a final score of 6-0.
It's a remarkable six-game winning streak. KT was losing 0-8 against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 18th, scoring 12 points in the 8th, 9th, and 10th inning, showing its potential to come from behind to win 12-8. For the opposing team Kiwoom, it was a shocking defeat that deprived them of their victory, and for KT, it was a miracle come-from-behind victory that confirmed the power of cohesion.

Benjamin and Cuevas regained their strength after the break, and after Ko Young-pyo's joining, the frequency of alternative starts decreased sharply, and the starting rotation regained stability. Above all, the recent pitching of preliminary FA Um Sang-baek is surprising. In the bullpen, many chronic elements of anxiety disappeared as closer Park Young-hyun blocked the back door with a pitch that did not collapse.
Will KT's miracle, which rose from last place to second place last year, happen again this year. For now, it seems clear that he has transformed into the scariest team at this point.
