The gap between 3rd place KT and 4th place Kiwoom is only 2 li without a ride.
In order not to go through a wild card game, KT must keep third place.
KT, which met 7th place Samsung on the rise of 4 consecutive wins, took the first run, Benjamin, got one RBI on the right time by Kang Min-ho and conceded a run, but immediately counterattacked.
At the end of the first inning, he succeeded in reversing with Hwang Jae-gyun's double RBI double in the two-out full base opportunity, followed by Kim Min-hyeok's two RBI just on time, and he quickly ran away 4-1.
As Samsung, who was on the verge of being eliminated from the postseason, pursued a single point difference with Lee Jae-hyun's two-run four in the second inning, KT widened the score again by Hwang Jae-kyun's one-run time hit in the third two-out second base.
KT, which added two points in the 5th inning, is ahead of Samsung as of the 6th inning.
5th place, KIA, which left 3 magic numbers to advance to the fall baseball for the first time in 4 years, is leading the 2nd place LG as of the 6th inning.
In the first inning, Socrates took the lead with a two-run home run, followed by a two-run double by Socrates.
He ran away with 4 more points with 6 concentrated hits.
If 2nd place LG loses like this, the magic number of the leader SSG, who is taking a break today, will disappear and the regular season championship will be confirmed.
