The Samsung Lions, who are challenging the presidential race this season, defeated SSG Landers by showing off their solid mound power.

Samsung won the warm-up match against SSG 5-0 at Akama Ball Park in Onnason, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on the 25th.

Transfer starter Ariel Furado gave the green light with two innings of one hit and no runs following the Blue and White match. In the second inning, Cho Hyung-woo was allowed a ground ball hit in front of center field with two outs and second base, but Kim Ji-chan tagged out second baseman Lee Jung-beom with an accurate one-bound throw, helping Furado pitch scoreless.

Second pitcher Choi Won-tae also raised expectations by pitching another two scoreless innings with a powerful fastball and a flashy breaking ball that takes away timing.

Lee Jae-ik scored one scoreless inning, Yuk Sun-yeop scored one ⅔ scoreless inning, and Park Joo-hyuk hit a bases-loaded crisis with two outs in the seventh inning. Right-handers Lee Seung-hyun and Kim Tae-hoon completed the victory with one scoreless inning each,

Samsung's lineup, which failed to score in two innings against SSG starter Song Young-jin in the first inning with two outs and a full base chance, scored the first run against the changed pitcher left-hander Kim Gun-woo in the third inning. Following the lead Kang Min-ho's walk, Cha Seung-joon pushed a 139km fastball from a two-ball to cut through the left-center and had a chance to second and third bases with no outs. Rookie outfielder Soo-ho scooped up Kim Gun-woo's low-fall slider and hit a two-run timely hit in front of center field.

Samsung led 3-0 in the fifth inning when Diaz hit a right-handed hit from SSG right-hander Choi Hyun-suk with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. Samsung's batters, who later missed a series of extra points, scored an extra point in the bottom of the eighth inning against SSG must-win group right-hander Lee Woon.

With the bases loaded with two outs, Kim Jae-sung's hit, Hong Hyun-bin's walk, and the opponent's infield error, Lee Hae-seung's two-run timely hit sealed the victory.

Samsung, which has a large number of new faces, including four rookies, is fiercely competing in every place where decisions are needed, including must-win groups, catcher backups, infield backups, and outfield seats. As such, the backup layer that can last a season is getting thicker. In their own Cheongbaek matches and matches against Japanese teams, the performance of existing players competing with up-and-coming players was remarkable.

Samsung, which lost the warm-up match against Yomiuri by a score of 3 to 4, won 5 to 3 against Chunichi, showing a 180-degree change from last year's poor camp, which was 1 draw and 8 losses.

SSG's starter Song Young-jin scored two scoreless innings. Left-hander Kim Gun-woo allowed two runs in two innings, right-hander Choi Hyun-seok allowed one run in one inning, left-hander Park Si-hoo in the sixth inning, and rookie left-hander Shin Ji-hwan allowed one scoreless inning in the seventh inning. Lee Woon, who took the mound in the eighth inning, allowed two runs.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, rookie catcher Lee Yul-ye showed off his strength as the best catcher in high school by catching a natural tag-out from the second base with a quick and accurate throw to Hong Hyun-bin, who attempted to steal second base with one out and first base Kim Sung-yoon at the plate.
