LG broke the silence in the third inning with a single home run.

After the first inning, Hong Chang-ki led off with a single up the middle and Park Hae-min drew a walk.

After a walk and a single to left by Kim Sang-soo put runners on first and second with no outs, Hwang Jae-gyun hit a two-run double to left-center field.

After Park Byung-ho flied out to right field, Jang Jang-woo’s straight hit to the second baseman was turned into a double play, leaving KT with just one run, but they capitalized on back-to-back LG errors in the fifth inning.

In the first inning, Jang Jang-woo’s grounder to shortstop 안전카지노사이트 Oh Ji-hwan was not picked up and flicked backward.

LG left fielder Moon Sung-joo caught the ball as it rolled into the outfield and threw it out at third base, putting two runners in scoring position at second and third.

Pinch-hitter Lee Ho-yeon’s infield grounder was thrown out at third base, but with runners on first and second, No. 9 Choi Sung-ho lined a single up the middle to make it 4-3.

KT rallied to take the lead, but LG came back with a cannon in the top of the sixth.

After Moon Bo-kyung led off with a single to left, KT manager Lee Kang-cheol replaced starter Benjamin with right-hander Son Dong-hyun.

He was wary of Park Dong-won, the hero of the game-winning two-run homer in Game 2, but Park scooped up a 145-kilometer-per-hour fastball that was low to the side of his body and launched it over the left-field wall for a game-winning two-run shot.

After pulling starter Lim Chan-kyu in the fourth inning and using four relievers through the fifth, LG manager Yoon Kyung-yeop brought in Ko Woo-seok to close out the eighth with a 5-4 lead after Yoo Young-chan pitched two scoreless innings in the bottom of the sixth.

After giving up a game-winning double to Moon Sang-chul in the eighth inning in the first game, Go got off to a rough start by giving up a single to the first batter he faced.

After a groundout by Kim Sang-soo, Hwang Jae-gyun pulled a changeup from Go Woo-seok for a tiebreaking double that landed just inside the left-field fence, sending the first-base bleachers into a frenzy.

Soon after, Park Byung-ho pulled a 152-kilometer-per-hour cannonball from Go Woo-seok for a two-run arch over the left field fence to give KT the win.

But in the top of the ninth, Kim Jae-yoon, who had gotten two outs, walked Austin Dean to load the bases and gave up a deceptive three-run homer to Oh Ji-hwan.

KT had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the ninth, but Kim Sang-soo stepped in front of the pitcher and hit a grounder. 카지노사이트
