The LG Twins, who are busy with their way, lost an additional point due to an unfair half swing decision.

The second playoff game between Samsung and LG took place at Lions Park in Daegu on the 15th. Samsung's offense in the bottom of the third inning with a 2-1 lead. After two outs, Lee Sung-kyu walked in his first at-bat instead of Koo Ja-wook, who was out due to a knee injury, and got on base.

Diaz at the plate. Diaz reacted to a slider falling low in 1B2S. A gesture that looked like a half swing.

Catcher Park Dong-won asked the third base umpire whether to swing or not with confidence. The third base umpire declared the North Wing with open arms.

However, the slow screen confirmed Diaz's bat tip toward the pitcher. Commissioner Lee Soon-cheol, who was explaining, also hinted that it was a misjudgment, saying, "(The catcher) deserves confidence."

Park Dong-won expressed his unfairness and regret by opening his hands to the decision.

Something unnerving and ominous has become a reality. Diaz pulled a slider that dropped for the sixth pitch and hit a hit on the right field line.

Quick-footed Lee Sung-kyu, who started, settled on third base, and right fielder Hong Chang-ki's broadcast was high, and Park Chan-do, the third base coach, turned his right arm. Lee Sung-kyu rushed home without hesitation, caught the ball dropped by Shin Min-jae again and sprayed it home, but mid-cut. Overrun Diaz was tagged out next to the first base, but Lee Sung-kyu had already stepped home.

Coach Park Chan-do headed to the dugout in a high-five with Lee Sung-kyu's shoulder wrapped in joy.

For Samsung, it was an unfair run that should not have been given at the end of the inning if it had not been for Samsung's 3-1 run and LG's half-swinging misjudgment.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who must have felt unfair, is a big fan of checking swing video.

Coach Yeom said during the season, "Let's read everything we can do except for balls and strikes, including check swing and balk." The KBO and the executive committee will probably review it."The game is often dominated by just one check swing. Each team insisted on a video review, saying, "There must have been a lot (of such cases)."
