'The Lion Corps'The Samsung Lions have won six consecutive games. It is two games behind the LG Twins, who are in first place.
The Samsung Lions won the first of three consecutive away games during the week 3-1 against the SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 29th.
Samsung has won six consecutive games. The team lost 18 wins and 12 losses in this season. While LG, the top-ranked team in the league, lost to Hanwha and lost three consecutive games, Samsung trailed the lead by two games. LG ranks third with 20 wins and 10 losses and Hanwha with 18 wins and 13 losses, 0.5 games behind Samsung. SSG, which lost to Samsung, has lost three games in a row.
On the 29th, Samsung's leadoff Kim Ji-chan's hamstring came up in the process of sprinting to first base after hitting an infield ground ball for the first time in the first inning. Kim Ji-chan was replaced by Kim Heon-gon immediately after the bottom of the first inning. Kim Ji-chan also suffered a hamstring injury in early April. It is bad luck to have another hamstring injury 10 days after returning to the first team.

After two outs in the top of the first inning, Samsung's third batter Koo Ja-wook hit five pitches against SSG starter White and hit a pre-emptive solo home run over the right fence. Koo Ja-wook's 7th season.
Samsung starter Choi Won-tae pitched well until the first seven innings of this season. In six ⅓ innings, he played a starting role with three hits, two four outs, six strikeouts and one run. SSG starter Mitch White also gave up the first run in the first inning, but pitched until the fifth inning, recording four hits (one home run), two outs, six strikeouts and one run. The total number of pitches is 94.
SSG balanced the bottom of the third inning. Leading batters Jung Joon-jae and Ahn Sang-hyun had consecutive infield hits. With one out and runners on the second and third bases, Choi Jun-woo balanced 1-1 with an RBI sacrifice fly.
SSG quickly activated the bullpen from the sixth inning when starter White went down. The two teams, which failed to score an additional point, continued their 1-1 game until the seventh inning. Samsung took the opportunity in the top of the eighth inning when SSG failed to score a run with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning.
In the top of the eighth inning, leadoff hitter Kim Sung-yoon made a chance by hitting a double with a big hit that separated the left-center. Koo Ja-wook hit first and third base with no outs, and Diaz, the next batter, got on base with four pitches on purpose, loading the bases with no outs.
When the catcher failed to catch SSG Noh Kyung-eun's ball and fell back during Kim Young-woong's at-bat, third baseman Kim Sung-yoon rushed home and scored. In terms of timing, Noh Kyung-eun could have been out if she caught the ball, but she missed the ball at home.

Samsung kept the victory in the bottom of the ninth inning with closer Kim Jae-yoon on the mound and three outs.
Samsung has won six consecutive games. Samsung's No. 1 hitter Kim Ji-chan was out due to an injury from the top of the first inning, but No. 2 hitter Kim Sung-yoon stepped up as a troubleshooter. Kim Sung-yoon was the top contributor to the victory with two hits in five at-bats (one double) with one RBI and one run.
Kim Sung-yoon is ranked second in the batting average with 373 in 28 games this season. Kim Ji-chan has only played 18 games due to injury, but Kim Sung-yoon's performance is so great that he can't feel an empty seat.
Kim Ji-jan and Kim Sung-yoon of the KBO League's shortest living duo Samsung. This year, No. 2 Kim Sung-yoon's performance, which is better than No. 1, stands out more.
