LG won the 2025 KBO League match against Samsung 4-2 at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 1st.
The score in the top of the seventh inning, which went from 3-2 to 4-2, determined the game. LG ventured to challenge the possibility of low probability. Samsung was caught in LG's eye.
In the top of the seventh inning, when LG led by one point, Park Hae-min walked to base with two outs.
Park Hae-min stole second base from the first pitch to Shin Min-jae's at-bat, getting on the nerves of Samsung's battery. It was the 39th stolen base of the season and the 450th stolen base (the fifth in KBO history).
With two outs and runners on second base, Shin Min-jae hit a hit in front of left field. Samsung left fielder Koo Ja-wook is a recognizable dog. He was also ranked second in outfielder Bodhisattva in 2021.
Usually, when an outfielder catches the ball, the standard of stopping is whether the runner runs third base. If you didn't get to third base, it's out-timing, so it's common to set up without challenging the home.
Shin Min-jae's batting was fast. It was in front of left field.
Koo Ja-wook caught it even before reaching third base, despite the fact that it took an automatic start because it was two outs and Park Hae-min, the fastest runner in the league.

Even with out-timing, the defense is not always smooth, so it was worth a game. There was no guarantee that consecutive hits would come out.
Koo Ja-wook's throw was relatively accurate. I reached the home one bound. It arrived quite a bit before Park Hae-min. It was out timing.
However, a variable occurred. Catcher Kang Min-ho lost his balance while receiving the ball. Park Hae-min swept the groove with a soft sliding. It was the decisive point for LG.
Samsung plunged to eighth place with the loss. LG closely trailed No. 1 Hanwha by one game.
