KIA Tigers swept the three consecutive games against Kiwoom Heroes thanks to Kim Do-young's come-from-behind final hit.
KIA came from behind to win 5-2 against Kiwoom at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 8th. KIA, which beat Kiwoom consecutively on the 6th and 7th, secured four consecutive wins and 80 wins (2 draws and 50 losses) in the season by catching the game on the 8th.
It wasn't an easy match. Even though starter Yang Hyun-jong pitched seven innings with one run, he failed to win, and the loss was cast as the bullpen pushed a walk in the top of the eighth inning. However, Socrates' equalizer followed in the ensuing attack, and Kim Do-young's hit bounced off the base, making it a timely hit. KIA, which pursued two more points, was able to take the victory as closer Jung Hae-young finished the first inning well.
