SSG Landers missed the two games they wanted to catch. On the 23rd, the mound collapsed 4-8 against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil, and the shock of being completely defeated was great. SSG succeeded in reversing 4-3 in the fourth inning of the game, but later lost due to additional runs by the bullpen after starter Song Young-jin suffered sudden ball control difficulties. If they had caught Doosan on this day, they would have been able to aim for fourth place, but it has become difficult to reach fourth place.
The next day, the game against the LG Twins was also a complete defeat. SSG also suffered a shock loss of 5-14 against LG in Incheon on the 24th. From the first inning, he allowed the first run due to unexpected defensive errors, and then collapsed.
SSG couldn't even try it properly, as Drew Anderson went down to an unexpected early steel plate with six runs (five earned) in two innings. It collapsed as many as four home runs were hit by the LG lineup.

The opportunity has not yet completely disappeared. SSG has the most games left among the competitors ranked 4-5th. As of after the game on the 24th, Doosan and KT have two games and SSG have four games left. A team with a relatively large number of remaining games may have a little more advantage.

The schedule has been difficult so far, but the comforting thing is that the remaining four games are now teams that have nothing to do with the ranking competition. However, the teams are also motivated because personal records are at stake. This is why we must not let our guard down.
SSG, which has recently been pushed to sixth place due to two consecutive losses, is one game away from fifth-place KT and three games away from fourth-place Doosan. First of all, we need to win as much as possible, close the gap with KT, and challenge the final reversal.
SSG still has a chance to advance to the semifinals on its own.
