The Samsung Lions' hopes of rebounding at home have gone up in smoke. Samsung lost 2:9 in Game 4 of the 2024 Korean Series against the KIA Tigers at Daegu Lions Park on the 26th. Samsung, which won Game 3 in Daegu on the 25th with four home runs after losing consecutive games in Gwangju, stood on the brink of the best-of-seven Korean Series by losing again to KIA.
Starter Won Tae-in's early steel plate was painful. Won Tae-in, who threw 32 pitches in the top of the first inning but gave up the first run, failed to control the number of pitches in the top of the second inning, and eventually left the mound after losing a point by hitting a concentrated hit and walking in the top of the third inning. Even Song Eun-beom, who took the mound in relief, was hit by Kim Tae-gun with a full base. He seemed to save his hope by scoring four or five consecutive times, but Choi Chae-heung bowed his head in the top of the sixth inning, allowing Socrates a two-run shot.
Only three teams from the Lotte Giants in 1984, OB Bears (now Doosan Bears) in 1995, and Samsung in 2013 have won the Korean Series after losing three games first. During the 2013 Korean Series, Samsung achieved V7 through reverse sweeps that won all three other games despite losing the first, second and fourth games to Doosan. We should hope that the miracle of 11 years ago will be revived.

▶I think Won Tae-in had a hard game as he went down the mound due to injury.
-The original state is.
▶I felt a little uncomfortable on my shoulders before the steel plate. I think I need to check again.
-Is it because of his physical condition that Won Tae-in was sluggish from the beginning.
▶I think there was an impact. Recently, he was in good condition, but he was not able to control his ball well from the first inning. I think there was an effect of physical condition.
-Even after the second episode, he didn't look good.
▶I felt that such an expression came out because my control was not working well rather than my shoulder discomfort. I didn't express it myself.
-You saved left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, but are you thinking of starting Game 5.
▶ Yes, he needs to go through a meeting, but he will consider selecting Lee Seung-hyun and Hwang Dong-jae in the fifth round.
-Did you think of Song Eun-beom after Won-tae.
▶I put Song Eun-beom and Lee Seung-min on standby because the ball control was shaking and they seemed to be unable to operate as they wanted. Song Eun-beom went out first because his opponent was a right-handed hitter.
-Was Kim Yun-soo not ready.
▶ Yes, Lee Seung-min showed good performance in the previous match against KIA. Kim Yun-soo did not prepare.
-We need to prepare an opportunity for a rebound in Gwangju.
▶I was in the last corner. In Game 5, we will have to pour out all the available power.
-There must be a lot of worries about batting order.
▶Nail pitched so well. If a pitcher throws well, it is inevitably not easy for batters. I think my nails had a good pitch. Since there were many runs from the beginning, the atmosphere was very down. I'm going to do everything I can with the idea that Game 5 is the last.
