'Absolute first place' KIA, backup was also strong.

Samsung ace Ariel Furado also showed off his strong base of players by destroying the championship rival Samsung's ace Ariel Furado. It was a game that showed why KIA is an absolute favorite.

KIA won 11-5 in an exhibition game against Samsung held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 16th.




The game was played in the chilly spring cold. There was a risk of injury.

Both teams have formed a backup lineup.

However, starting pitcher Samsung Furado started to match the number of pitches.




Although it was difficult to throw in normal condition in the cold, KIA's backup lineup was surprisingly strong.

In four innings, he scored six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and one walk against Furado. He was humiliated for the most runs since moving to Samsung.

KIA starter Hwang Dong-ha, who is competing with Kim Do-hyun for the fifth start, was also slightly shaken in the first inning. Park Byung-ho's sacrifice fly, Jeon Byung-woo's direct double to the fence, and Kim Tae-hoon's sacrifice fly gave up three runs first with a hit ball, error, and hit.
