Kiwoom advanced to the playoffs by defeating KT in the final 5th game of the professional baseball semi-playoffs, with Ahn Woo-jin's reverse throw and Song Seong-moon's comeback home run.
This is reporter Bae Jung-hoon.
<Reporter> The
atmosphere in the beginning was on the KT side.
In the first inning, Alford took the lead by hitting a double with a RBI against Kiwoom ace Ahn Woo-jin.
In the 3rd inning against 1 on 1, Alford drew a solo arch that went over the left wall.
In the 4th inning, when Kiwoom fell 2-1, Song Seong-moon changed the flow of the game.
He hit a comeback two-run homer over the right fence against KT starting Benjamin, who threw well.
Kiwoom, who ran one more point in the fifth inning, kept the lead with the power of the mound.
Ahn Woo-jin caught 8 strikeouts and gave up 2 runs in 6 innings, and even after being hit with his right arm by Alford's batted ball in the 6th inning, he showed a fighting spirit to end the inning with pain.
Following Ahn Woo-jin, Kiwoom played an all-out battle to raise the starting pitcher Yokishi in the second game as a relief pitcher, and after winning 4-3, by one point, advanced to the playoffs for the first time in three years.
Ahn Woo-jin, who became the winning pitcher in Game 5 following no goals in 6 innings in the first game, was selected as the semi-playoff MVP.
[Ahn Woo-jin / Kiwoom pitcher (quasi playoff MVP): I think it's good to be able to pitch hard to win a pitcher and play baseball a little longer.
I will do my best to show a good image in the playoffs.]
From the day after tomorrow (24th), Kiwoom will face off against LG, who placed 2nd in the regular season, for a ticket to the Korean Series in a three-win system.
