Director Park Jin-man's mercenary skills finally worked. Lee Sung-kyu hit the first solo shot.

The Samsung Lions will play the third game of the Korean Series against the KIA Tigers at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 25th. Samsung gave up both consecutive games in Gwangju. If he lost Game 3, he could have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If you do, you could face a tragedy in which you have to watch the opponent win at home.

Coach Park declared an all-out war ahead of Game 3. And unlike from the playoffs, the batting order also shook significantly. Ryu Ji-hyuk, who is in good condition, was placed forward with No. 2, and made a clean-up trio of Kang Min-ho, Diaz, and Kim Heon-gon.

And Lee Sung-kyu is the one who chose ambitiously. In place of Yoon Jung-bin and Kim Hyun-joon, he started as No. 8 right-handed. Coach Park said, `We hit 12 hits in the second game, but it was less efficient.' `Now that we're at home, we'll see if we can win with a home run, which is our strength" expressed his determination.

Lee Sung-kyu properly repaid the director's intention. Lee Sung-kyu hit a pre-emptive solo shot from KIA starter Lauer, who was pitching well in his first at-bat in the bottom of the third inning when he was 0-0.



Lauer, who came in with a ball count of 2B2S, hit a 151km fastball properly and connected it to a home run over the left-center fence. It was a high pitch in the middle. This is his first Korean series. He came out as a pinch hitter in Game 2 and grounded out to third base is the only record. His first hit and first home run in the Korean Series came out at a very important moment.
