Catcher Jang Sung-woo 'A timely hit'...But LG couldn't eat it even if I fed it to him

The LG Twins suffered a defeat through. The probability that the team that wins the first round of the semi-playoff will advance to the playoffs is a whopping 87.9 percent. LG failed to seize the opportunity at home.
LG lost 2-3 in the first round of the semi-playoff against KT Wiz at Jamsil Stadium on the 5th. The importance of the first round of the short-term war does not need to be explained. I missed a very important game. I also had a chance to win that.
It didn't start well. This is because starter N.S. allowed Moon Sang-chul, the fifth opponent, to make a two-run shot in the second inning. However, Ence overcame the pressure of the KBO League's first postseason and threw well.
The batters also supported one run with Austin's timely hit in the fourth inning. Although Ence hit consecutive doubles by Bae Jeong-dae and Shim Woo-joon in the fifth inning, the difference was only two points, so LG was able to take a chance to turn the tables in the middle and late stages.

Did you say it was an opportunity after the crisis. LG had a huge chance in the sixth inning. Shin Min-jae even drew a walk on Hong Chang-ki's double. Austin's fly to right field, one out, first and third base.
This is where an absurd scene was staged. LG's first baseman Shin Min-jae attempted to steal second base. Jang Sung-woo threw the ball at second base, but second baseman Oh Yoon-seok and shortstop Shim Woo-joon did not intend to enter the second base cover. Considering Shin Min-jae's fast and third baseman Hong Chang-ki's rush home, KT fielders seem to have decided that Jang Sung-woo will not throw the ball to second base. Jang Sung-woo's throw rolled toward center field, and third baseman Hong Chang-ki easily homered. On top of that, Shin Min-jae, who is quick, went to third base.

KT also suffered another double out in the seventh inning due to Bae Jeong-dae's strikeout and Hwang Jae-kyun's failure to steal. In the eighth inning, Kim Min-hyuk's triple failed to take advantage of the first-out and third-base chance. KT continued to help. However, LG also failed to score. Should KT pitchers Kim Min-soo, Son Dong-hyun, So Hyung-joon, and Park Young-hyun be praised for throwing well. Was it because LG's batting sense has not yet risen.
