<Reporter> The
match between the 1st place KT and the 2nd place LG was a tight pitching match.
LG starter Chan-gyu Lim blocked KT's line by pitching no-hit until 1 out in the 6th inning, and KT's young ace Small Jun also responded with five innings of no-hit pitching.
The balance of zero that continued even after the two starting pitchers went off the mound was broken in the 9th inning.
LG captain Kim Hyun-soo, who entered the plate at the no-out second base opportunity, struck a right-handed hit that exquisitely penetrated the defensive shift and drew the finish line.
LG, who won 1-0, narrowed the ride with leading KT by one and a half games, igniting the competition for the first place.
