Samsung won the fourth game of the postseason playoff against the Hanwha Eagles 7-4 at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd. 2 wins and 2 losses in the series. The two teams will play the final match on the 24th after a day off to advance to the Korean Series in Daejeon.
Samsung dominated the selection battle. Samsung put forward Won Tae-in, and Hanwha, which is 'Bulpenday', and Jung Woo-joo, who is 'New', took the mound as the first pitcher.
Last year, Won Tae-in appeared in 27 games this season and won 12-4 with a 3.24 ERA, making double-digit wins for the second consecutive year. Samsung's reliable ace. In Game 3 of the semi-playoff held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 13th, he was selected as MVP by leading the victory with five hits, four outs, two five strikeouts, and one run in six ⅔ innings.
On the other hand, Hanwha used Moon Dong-joo, who was a starting resource, as a bullpen, leaving a gap in the starting position. Moon Dong-ju led the team to victory by allowing two and four scoreless innings in Game 1 and Game 3, respectively.
Hanwha, whose Moon Dong-ju card disappeared, started Jung Woo-joo. It is a strategy that has already been successful once. On the 29th of last month, he pitched three scoreless ⅓ against the LG Twins in Daejeon, laying the groundwork for his team's 7-3 victory.

Hanwha scored the first run in the top of the first inning. Following Liberato's hit, Moon Hyun-bin hit Won Tae-in's fastball and hit a double that separated the right-center. Hanwha took a 1-0 lead as Liberato homered.
In Hanwha, following Choi Jae-hoon's hit in the top of the fifth inning, Won Tae-in took the lead with a throw to the second base during Shim Woo-joon's bunt, but all became safe. With Son Ah-seop's sacrifice bunt, one out, second and third bases. Liberato grounded out, but Moon Hyun-bin's three-run home run made it 4-0.

Hanwha also showed a winning move. Kim Seo-hyun, who was the closing pitcher, was put in. The loss in the first game made it difficult for him to take the mound as a closer for the time being. Diaz got a ground ball, but the score quickly became 4-4 as the fastball match with Kim Young-woong led to a home run.
Samsung sealed the match in the bottom of the seventh inning. The main character was Kim Young-woong again. After one out, Koo Ja-wook went out with a hit ball, and Diaz's walk came out. Kim Young-woong then hit Han Seung-hyuk's first pitch and crossed the right fence once again. 7-4. The game is virtually over.
Following Won Tae-in, Garabito (2 scoreless innings) and Kim Jae-yoon (1 scoreless inning) came up one after another to keep the victory.
Following Jung Woo-ju, Kim Bum-soo (⅔ scoreless innings), Park Sang-won (one inning scoreless), Hwang Joon-seo (zero innings scoreless), Kim Seo-hyun (two runs in ⅔ innings), Han Seung-hyuk (three runs in one ⅓) and Joo Hyun-sang (one inning scoreless inning) took the mound in turn.
