'9th place in August → 1st place in September?' The coach was also surprised. Now they will play six games of destiny

SSG won the away game against KT Wiz 6-2 at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 22nd. SSG, which won a complete victory, has won six consecutive games over the past weekend by holding both games against KT.
SSG, which was ranked sixth before this series, and KT, which was ranked fifth. However, SSG won both games and took back the fifth place in a month by exchanging rankings. KT fell to sixth place.
Tuta balance is at its peak again. SSG, which had been worried about the bad pitching throughout the second half of the year, has recently solidified its entire starting lineup as the first to third starters, Drew Anderson, Roenis Elias, and Kim Kwang-hyun, have taken the center stage in good condition, and Young Gun Song Young-jin's good pitching has been added. Closer Cho Byung-hyun firmly guards the back door, and major bullpen pitchers such as Moon Seung-won and Seo Jin-yong never collapse easily.
The batting lineup, which was exhausted overall and had a strong sense of hitting, is also increasing its winning rate as a troubleshooter is born, turning around in a decisive situation.
It is a miracle of SSG, which won six consecutive games ahead of the end of the regular season. After the game against KT on the 22nd, coach Lee Soo-yong said, `Players know the importance of the recent game and are preparing well for the game. New players perform well in every game. I think it's the power of 'one team'""Kim Kwang-hyun showed excellent pitching today with six scoreless innings." I believed he would do well in important games, but it was a good performance to repay that belief. In the batting lineup, (Park) Ji-hwan's two home runs and (Park) Sung-han's two-run shot played a big role. (Ha) Jae-hoon performed like an Altoran in running and defense," he praised.
I'm happy to reclaim fifth place, but it's not over yet. SSG has now played 138 games, and there are still six games left. The game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 23rd and the LG Twins in Incheon on the 24th must be caught as it is a showdown with the third and fourth-place teams. If we make a clear result here, we can aim for fourth place.
If we overcome this last crisis well, we can try to reach the 5th round with 2 games against NC and 1 game against Hanwha and Kiwoom.
