Game 1 was held as the first Korean Series suspended game ever. The shock upset dominated the atmosphere of the second game, which took place an hour later.
The Samsung Lions have lost a lot of points since the first inning, showing a domino effect in the first round.
Samsung allowed five runs from the bottom of the first inning in Game 2 of the Korean Series against KIA at Gwangju Champions Field on the 23rd.
In the top of the first inning, KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong, who threw seven fastballs, stepped down after four batters without power. Diaz's missed hit was the only one after two outs.
The nightmare began in the bottom of the first inning. Hwang Dong-jae, the starter of the second game, failed to withstand the first inning.
Six people were on base with five hits and one walk while catching two out-counts against eight batters. The number of runs increased due to the fielder's error.
It was ominous to walk leadoff hitter Park Chan-ho after failing to strike out half-swing.
Socrates pulled a high fastball and hit the first and second bases with no outs. In Kim Do-young's at-bat, which was agonizing over a bunt to send, Kang Min-ho's second base check ball became a bound and fell back. 2nd and 3rd base with no bunt. Kim Do-young's conscious push ground ball to second base gave up the first run.

Hwang Dong-jae, who started Game 3 of the playoffs against LG at Jamsil on the 17th, gave a surprise pitching by allowing one hit and three walks in three innings. The first Korean Series stage was harsh. The mound was completed in 22nd base. ⅔Inning eight batters, five hits, one walk, and five runs.
During the double play, Hwang Dong-jae went down the mound while second baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk collapsed on the ground due to a collision with first baseman Lee Woo-sung. Left-hander Lee Seung-min came up and struck out No. 9 Choi Won-jun, barely finishing the first inning.
KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong, who received five points, started a fast game with aggressive pitching centered on fastballs.
Samsung hitters, who are slightly exhausted, seem to be in a hurry. A veteran left-hander who has been through the gap is digging in. Samsung has no hope of stepping down helplessly even if it loses the second game following the first game.
On the 24th, one-two punch Reyes Won Tae-in will take the mound in Game 3 and 4 to be held at his home in Daegu on the 25th.
Against Yang Hyun-jong's strategy to play as long innings as possible, he should draw as many bullpens as possible by quickly pulling them out with persistent attacks as possible. That way, disadvantages can be minimized in bullpen battles in Game 3 and 4, where there is already a difference in power.
If KIA's batting lineup, which woke up with two wild pitches in the suspended game of Game 1, is fully boosted, it can be a difficult third and fourth games even if the ace duo comes forward.
Samsung's batters were on the verge of losing all of Gwangju's first and second games 1-7, with only six hits and one run scored by Yang Hyun-jong until the fifth inning.
