"I prayed."

Kang Min-ho of the world also had no sharp answer. I was only looking for the goddess of victory.

The Samsung Lions won a 4-1 sweat match against the Doosan Bears in the KBO League in the 2025 season held in Jamsil on the 1st.




It seems like a generous three-point victory, but it overcame a huge crisis at the end of the ninth inning. Even Kang Min-ho, a Samsung master who has been through all his life and death, had nothing but prayer at this moment.

Samsung put in closer Lee Ho-sung in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 4-0 lead. Lee Ho-sung got off to a fresh start by groundering leadoff hitter Jung Soo-bin to second base.

After one out, a variable occurred in Oh Myung-jin's at-bat. Oh Myung-jin's ball floated high in the infield, but no one caught it. The ball fell in an ambiguous position between the mound and the second base. The official record was a third baseman's fumble.




Coincidentally, Lee Ho-sung's control has been shaken since then. Samsung was on a four-game losing streak. The game suddenly began to twist with the prospect of escaping the losing streak.

Lee Ho-sung gave Cave Kim Jae-hwan consecutive walks. It caused a bases-loaded crisis. He struck out pinch hitter Kang Seung-ho to put out the urgent fire. Yang Eui-ji came out as a pinch hitter, but he walked again. Chasing 4-1, the bases loaded. There was a tie-breaker. One home run is the end of the game.

Just in time, it was Kim Dong-joon, a big shot prospect, at the plate. Lee Ho-sung induced a foul fly to the third baseman after a four-pitch game. The sweaty crisis is over. Samsung also lost consecutive games while keeping the win.

After the game, Kang Min-ho prayed. "Throw a strike to the pitcher, and the batter can't hit." I prayed like this"I looked back.

When it doesn't necessarily work out, this happens over and over again.

Kang Min-ho "There is an atmosphere of losing consecutively. If it wasn't for the losing streak, the game will just end even if there is an error like this. Things keep getting twisted when you lose in a row. So I was really nervous until the end of baseball. It felt strange. At the end, Kim Dong Jun seemed to hit a home run," he said with a tongue-in-cheek.

Still, we couldn't avoid the game. Kang Min-ho "When I threw a breaking ball, my control was shaking. I just kept praying. I wanted to go up (to the mound), but I used up my time and shouted out loud."

"It's okay! Don't push me! Hit me hard!"
