If you catch KT, you'll go to fall baseball in the first season of the manager...Lee Sung-yong "An important event, I will finish it well."

SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong strengthened his will to win the fifth-place tiebreaker for the first time in history.
SSG, led by head coach Lee, won the final game of the season against Kiwoom Heroes 7-2 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 30th.
SSG had to win this game to tie for fifth place with KT Wiz, so it could continue its hopes for fall baseball. If the two teams were tied, the team that won the single-round match would go to the wild card match in fifth place. However, it beat Kiwoom, and SSG will play a match of fate against KT in Suwon on the 1st.
Kiwoom was at the bottom of the list and all the starting pitchers were out, so it was an advantage in terms of power, but the game seemed to be twisted as it failed to score in the early stages. However, troubleshooter Choi Jung led the team with a two-run shot in the third inning and a wedge full base in the fourth inning. Anderson, who was sluggish against the LG Twins just before, contributed to the victory by blocking five scoreless innings with a fiery fastball.

After the game, Lee said, `We were able to win the final game of the season with the desire to win.'"The fans also filled the stands of the important final game. The packed audience gave us the energy to win."
Manager Lee said, `Anderson pitched well to make up for the disappointment of the last game. Leading hitter Choi Jeong hit back-to-back home runs and was very active. And I'm always grateful and sorry to Choo Shin-soo. He led his sick body and led the players well. It's been a great help." Manager Lee put Choo Shin-soo as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning when the score gap widened, making him greet his fans. Choo Shin-soo effectively ended his active career with this at-bat. Even if he advances to the postseason due to a shoulder injury, it is not easy to play. Choo had predicted his retirement at the end of this season.
Director Lee is left with an important battle for the last time. I will do my best to achieve a successful ending."
