(1st step) KIA advances directly to the Korean Professional Baseball Series for the first time in 7 years
The KIA Tigers advanced directly to the Korean Professional Baseball Series for the first time in seven years.
As the Samsung Lions, ranked second in the regular league, lost 4-8 to the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 17th, KIA erased the magic number and took first place in the regular league on its own.
Even if Samsung (75 wins, 2 draws, 60 losses) wins all of the remaining 7 games, it cannot surpass KIA (83 wins, 2 draws, 52 losses), so KIA earned the right to advance to the Korean Series for the first time in 7 years since 2017, when it won the overall championship.
