KIA won 5-4 against SSG Landers in Game 3 of the season at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th. The first game of the doubleheader was delayed due to rain, and only the second game began normally.
KIA, which suffered a shock upset loss against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 7th, raised its winning rate again after two days off. Since the opening of the season, SSG has lost 17 wins and 19 losses. On the other hand, SSG has recently lost three consecutive games.
▶KIA starting lineup = Park Chan-ho (fighter)-Wizdom (first baseman)-Kim Do-young (third baseman)-Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter)-Kim Sun-bin (second baseman)-Lee Woo-sung (right fielder)-Oh Sun-woo (left fielder)-Han Jun-su (capture)-Park Jung-woo (middle fielder) starting pitcher Aller
▶SSG starting lineup =Jihoon Choi(center fielder)-Park Sung-han(striker)-Choi Jung(designated hitter) - Han Yu-sum(left wing) - McBroom(right wing) - Ko Myung-joon(first baseman)-Cho Hyung-woo(catcher)-Jung Joon-jae(second baseman)-Kim Chan-hyung(third baseman) starter Anderson
KIA scored a point from the top of the first inning. Park Chan-ho's double led to a score. Park Chan-ho hit a double to left field against SSG starter Drew Anderson and created a chance to score, and Patrick Wisdom, the second batter, grounded out to third base. However, as Park Chan-ho succeeded in stealing the third base from Kim Do-young's at-bat, a chance came with one out and third base.
KIA took a 1-0 lead as Kim Do-young recorded a fly to center field, and third baseman Park Chan-ho succeeded in a home-in after the tag-up.

Since then, the game has been in a tense pitching competition. In the top of the third inning, KIA missed the opportunity to score an additional point due to Wisdom's strikeout with two outs and second base, and leadoff hitter Kim Do-young's hit broke out in the top of the fourth inning, but hitters were silent afterward. In particular, it was a fatal hit that Choi Hyung-woo's straight hit to the second base led to a double out of the first base with no outs and no outs.
SSG's attacks are also frustrating. In the bottom of the fourth inning, leading hitter Han Yoo-som walked to get on base, and Cho Hyung-woo added a single after two outs, but no timely hit was made. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Park Sung-han and Choi Jung hit only a mistake despite Jihoon Choi's double after one out.
KIA's 1-0 lead continues. In the top of the sixth inning, he made a big chance for the first time in a long time. This time again, Park Chan-ho opened the door. He walked to first base with a walk after one out, and later managed to steal second base at Wizdom's at-bat.

SSG also did not withdraw helplessly. After two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Kim Chan-hyung's infield hit brought an opportunity to the frustrating lineup. KIA replaced the pitcher from Jeon Sang-hyun to Lee Joon-young, but Jihoon Choi scored a hit against Lee Joon-young to escape between 1-2 bases.
Park Sung-han's timely hit finally broke out in a chance with two outs and runners on the first and third bases. Not only Kim Chan-hyung, the third baseman, but also Jihoon Choi, who was on the first base, quickly turned around the third base and dug home to tie the score 2-2. Park Sung-han also made it to second base.
However, in the chance to turn around with Choi Jeong's walk, Han Yoo-sum struck out swinging and leading to a tie.

SSG batteries automatically skipped Wisdom with four pitches and chose to compete with Kim Do-young. Kim Do-young's ball flowed to a ground ball toward third base, and a ball that can aim for even the maximum double play. However, SSG third baseman Kim Chan-hyung's catch error continued, leading to a chance to load the bases with one out after scoring the third baseman.
KIA then took the lead again with 4-2 as the third baseman scored additional points with Choi Hyung-woo's sacrifice fly.
However, McBroom's home run hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. McBroom came out as the leadoff hitter in the inning and hit a solo home run over the left-center fence against Cho Sang-woo. It was his fourth homer of this season. However, Kia put in the closing pitcher Jung Hae-young early and finished the eighth inning without allowing any more runs.
And he saved the last extra chance to score. In the top of the ninth inning, Lee Woo-sung's walk and Oh Sun-woo's hit accumulated runners. Hong Jong-pyo's sacrifice bunt was successful, with one out and runners on the second and third bases. Park Jung-woo filled the first base with a walk. With the bases loaded with one out, third baseman Lee Woo-sung scored as Park Chan-ho's ball became a sacrifice fly to left field. KIA ran away by two points.
In the bottom of the last ninth inning, Jung Hae-young blocked it. It was a pity to allow Choi Jung to hit a home run after two outs. Choi Jeong hit his 499th career home run with two outs and no runners. However, Jung Hae-young ended the game without allowing any more runs.
