'Welcome to Jamsil.' Paul slightly moved away from the foul → catch in front of the fence.'If it's Daegu, it's a home run...' 10 points → 10 points → 0 points. I can't believe the stadium changes the outcome...

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop and Eliaser Hernandez both agreed. Samsung's Yoon Jung-bin hit in the top of the sixth inning was a home run if it was at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu. The difference between Jamsil Stadium, which is 125 meters in the center, 100 meters in the left and right, and 120 meters in the left and right centers, and Lions Park, which is 123 meters in the center, 99.5 meters in the left and right centers, and 107 meters in the left and right centers, was greater than expected. It was so hard to decide the winner or the loser.
Game 3 of the playoffs between the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 17th was a pitching match, unlike the first and second games in Daegu. LG, which was joined by Lim Chan-kyu and Eliaser Hernandez to score no runs, won 1-0 over Samsung, which was blocked by one point, starting with Hwang Dong-jae and seven pitchers.
LG tried to score by creating a chance from the first inning, but was blocked, and Hong Chang-ki's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth inning only earned one point.
Samsung, which hit eight home runs in the first and second games, also hit a big hit in Jamsil, but it did not lead to a home run. In particular, the two balls were disappointing. If it were Daegu, it could have been a home run, so it was especially memorable.
In the top of the fourth inning, after Yoon Jung-bin hit a right-handed hit, No. 4 Lewin Diaz's at-bat. In the 1B1S, the third fastball thrown by LG starter Lim Chan-kyu was driven to the center, and Diaz did not miss it. The ball flew wide and seemed to be a home run, but it was important whether it was inside or outside the foul line. First of all, Shim is judged to be a foul with open arms. Video reading was applied and replays showed that the right pole was slightly out of the way. Jamsil Stadium is 50cm behind Daegu, and if it were Daegu, the ball could have been hit by the pole and become a two-run home run. In the end, Diaz came back to the plate and eventually retired on a fly to right field.
In the top of the sixth inning, a hit that would have been a home run if it were a real Daegu came out. After Lim Chan-kyu threw out the first No. 2 Kim Heon-gon, Eliaser Hernandez took the mound. And Samsung's No. 3 hitter Yoon Jung-bin took the batter's box. Yoon Jung-bin hit a fastball driven to the middle of 149km in the fourth pitch in 2B1S. He even did a bat flip to see if he felt it himself. The flying ball looked like a home run. However, right fielder Hong Chang-ki caught the ball in front of the right fence. A hit caught in front of the fence at Jamsil Stadium is a home run at Daegu Stadium.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man said "Diaz's batting was more regrettable than Yoon Jung-bin's."
If the game had been held in Daegu as it was, it could have been tied 1-1 or Samsung could have led 3-1, but LG won 1-0 as it was held in Jamsil.
Since the two teams do it under the same conditions, there is no advantage or disadvantage for either team. The advantage is that the home team is used to it only because it plays a lot more games. Just as Samsung won the first and second games at home with home runs, LG won the mound in the big Jamsil.
