SSG won 3-1 in Game 13 of the season against the Kiwoom Heroes at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 12th. Starter Anderson has won eight games in the season.
With this, SSG recorded its 54th win (four draws and 49 losses) this season, bringing it another step closer to the Lotte Giants, who lost to the Hanwha Eagles on the same day and were in a four-game losing streak. By winning three consecutive games, he seems to be dreaming of not only escaping from the middle ranks but also jumping to the top ranks.
On the other hand, Kiwoom recorded its 74th loss (33 wins and 4 draws), and a red light was turned on to maintain the winning rate of 30%.
SSG played in the lineup of Park Sung-han (striker), Ahn Sang-hyun (second base), Choi Jung (third base), Eredia (left wing), Han Yu-sum (designated hitter), Hyun Won-hoe (first base), Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Ha Jae-hoon (right wing), and Cho Hyung-woo (foxu). It maintained its lineup against Lotte on the weekend when it was on the rise. The starting player is ace Drew Anderson.
Kiwoom faced off with Song Sung-moon (designated hitter), Lim Ji-yeol (left wing), Choi Joo-hwan (first base), Cardinez (right wing), Kim Tae-joon (second base), Eo Jun-seo (striker), Yeo Dong-wook (third base), Kim Jae-hyun (catcher), and Park Joo-hong (midfielder). Names such as Park Joo-hong and Eo Jun-seo stand out, but overall, they maintained the existing trend. The first choice is rookie Jung Hyun-woo.

On the other hand, Kiwoom's acting coach Seol Jong-jin sighed repeatedly. Following Ahn Woo-jin's season out earlier, closer Joo Seung-woo was out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery (reconstructive surgery to exchange the inner ligament of the elbow), and it was belatedly known that Lee Kang-joon was also out for the season due to Tommy John surgery. Acting Seol Jong-jin, who held a somber briefing, expressed his desire to finish the season with his current full strength without additional registered players if possible.
SSG created an atmosphere by leading hitter Park Sung-han's walk from the first inning, but the follow-up hit failed. However, after one out, Hyun Won-hoe got on base with a hit, and Ha Jae-hoon hit a pre-emptive and two-run shot over the left-center fence to lead the team to victory.
SSG Park Sung-han also hit a double in the third inning, and Ahn Sang-hyun's bunt hit later gave him a chance to hit first and third bases with no outs, but failed to score due to a failed follow-up hit.

In SSG, Anderson's overwhelming pitching stood out. When Anderson filled 100 pitches with five ⅔ innings, he started the must-win group. Noh Kyung-eun (1 ⅓ inning), Lee Ro-woon (1 inning), and Cho Byung-hyun (1 inning) finished the game. Kiwoom only recovered one point in the top of the eighth inning when Choi Joo-hwan hit a solo shot against a beneficial opponent.
