Samsung Lions' Song Eun-beom took the mound as the team's third pitcher in Game 2 of the Korean Series against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 23rd.
Samsung was overwhelmed by inferiority. After two days of rain suspension, he suffered a shock come-from-behind loss of 1-5 in the first game, and the second game also started unfavorably as starter Hwang Dong-jae grabbed two out-counts in the first inning and collapsed with five runs.
He had no choice but to operate the bullpen from the first inning. In fact, the game was a doubleheader, and Samsung, which exhausted left-handed Seung-hyun (left-hander Lee Seung-hyun), Kim Tae-hoon, Lim Chang-min, and Kim Yoon-soo in the first round, was at a loss.

It is the first time in 12 years that he has returned to the Korean Series. Song Eun-beom played in three games in the Korean Series in 2012 when he was at SK, recording one win, no loss, one hold and an ERA of 6.75, and since then, he has not been able to reach the Korean Series.
Song made a clean pitch. He struck out Kim Tae-gun, the last batter in the third inning, and Choi Won-joon in the fourth inningHe caught the 9th to 1st to 2nd hitters from Park Chan-ho to Socrates Brito with three outs.
Song Eun-beom, who faced Kim Do-young, who had a home run in the previous at-bat, as the first batter in the fifth inning, was shaken by facing the central lineup after one out. The runners piled up after being hit by a double by Choi Hyung-woo, the fourth batter, and another hit by Na Sung-bum.

Song Eun-beom allowed two hits, one strikeout and one run in two innings. The last run process was disappointing, but he was responsible for two innings with a consistent pitch.
Song Eun-beom joined Samsung with difficulty at the crossroads of his retirement. He joined the SK Wyverns as the first designated rookie in 2003, and has since gone through KIA, Hanwha, and LG. Song Eun-beom, who was released by LG after the end of last year's season and could not find a new team, expressed his willingness to continue his career by participating in auditions for popular baseball entertainment programs. In the meantime, Samsung reached out.

Song Eun-beom, who has been a bullpen agent since late August, has been on board both the playoff and the Korean Series entry.
Legendary closer Oh Seung-hwan was eliminated from the postseason entry for the second consecutive time after a slump, but Song Eun-beom came into the spotlight as he joined in a surprise move.
