KIA won 5-1 in the suspended game in Game 1 of the Korean Series against the Samsung Lions at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 23rd. KIA was losing 0-1 until the game, which started on the 21st, was suspended in the top of the sixth inning. He allowed a solo home run to Kim Heon-gon in the top of the sixth inning, and has been on the verge of first and second base with no outs due to consecutive walks since then.
But in the game that resumed two days later, coach Lee Bum-ho's preparation was on point. Jeon Sang-hyun, who chose to be the first pitcher, blocked the crisis on the first and second bases with no outs and no outs, and took the first game in the bottom of the seventh inning as the batters scored four runs and succeeded in turning the tables.
Coach Lee Bum-ho smiled when he received a game ball from catcher Kim Tae-gun to commemorate his first Korean Series victory since his debut as the head coach.

Regarding the turnaround situation in the bottom of the seventh inning, "As the hitters succeeded in turning the tables, the quality of the hit was good, and it seems that they scored additional points." I hope this feeling of hitting will continue in the second game."

The two teams will start the second game at 6:30 p.m., an hour after the first game ends. Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `The players may be a little excited with the victory of the first game, but I will calm down again and do my best in the second game with the mind that there was no first game.'
