LG defeats KT after a bloody battle and advances to PO… Clash with Samsung over KS ticket
‘Defending champion’ LG Twins put an end to KT Wiz’s storm and advanced to the playoffs (PO).
LG, ranked 3rd in the regular league, took advantage of starter Lim Chan-gyu’s good pitching and defeated KT 4-1 in the 5th game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO semi-playoffs (semi-PO, 3 wins out of 5) held at Jamsil Stadium on the 11th.
As a result, LG, with an overall series record of 3 wins and 2 losses, beat KT after a close game and advanced to the playoffs.
Starting on the 13th, LG, which has passed the first hurdle in fall baseball, will play a PO match with the Samsung Lions, the second-place team in the regular league, for a ticket to advance to the Korean Series (KS), winning 3 out of 5 games.
Lim Chan-gyu, who was the winning pitcher in Game 2, also became the winning pitcher in Game 5 on this day by pitching 6 innings, allowing 3 hits and 1 run.
On the other hand, KT, which defeated SSG Landers in the 5th place match and then even defeated the Doosan Bears in the wild card match, ended this fall baseball season by failing to overcome LG’s barrier.
