Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man made changes to the bottom batting line ahead of Game 2 of the wild card match against NC at Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th.
Kim Ji-chan is out and veteran Kim Heon-gon is in.
Samsung, which is on the brink of losing the first round, will face the NC Dinos left-hander Logan with the lineup of Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Lee Sung-kyu (middle fielder), Kang Min-ho (fosu), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), and Kim Heon-gon (left wing).
Kim Ji-chan, who started in center field No. 7 the previous day, had no hits and only one walk in two at-bats. In defense, there was also a mistake in the judgment of the batting in the process of handling Davison's timely two-base hit in the fifth inning.

Head coach Park Jin-man explained "As the opponent's starter is a left-handed pitcher, we expect new players to perform in order to change the frustrating flow of batting order."
The ground is wet from the drizzle until the morning. It is not easy to play active baseball. Veteran Kim Hun-gon, who is strong in big games, also played a part in the judgment that he could help solve the game.
Kim Ji-chan is expected to play as a substitute at a crucial moment in the second half of the game and shake the opponent's infield.
Against Logan, Kim Young-woong was strong with two hits in four at-bats, Koo Ja-wook three hits in six at-bats, Kang Min-ho two hits in five at-bats, and Ryu Ji-hyuk two hits in six at-bats.
