Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man expressed regret over the one-point loss in the first round of the playoffs.
Samsung defeated Hanwha ace Ponce by six runs (five earned runs) in the first round of the playoffs against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 18th, but lost 8-9 due to the collapse of the mound. He followed Hanwha's closer Kim Seo-hyun to 8-9 in the ninth inning when he was trailing 6-9, but unfortunately, he promised to win the second game because the final equalizer did not break out.
Samsung was sorry that the expected starter Garabito collapsed by allowing five runs in three ⅓ innings, and it was painful that Bae Chan-seung and Lee Ho-sung, the young bullpen who gained momentum in the semi-playoff, failed to block the match.
The following is a question and answer session with coach Park after the game.

The ▶ batting line produced good results against Hanwha pitchers. In defense, it was a disappointing game to get a timely hit after two outs.
-Bae Chan-seung and Lee Ho-sung were shaken.
▶I'm still young, so I think I'll overcome it well. It is the strongest must-win group. I think it would have been a good medicine. These are the players that need to be done in the series in the future. I hope you forget it soon.
-Bae Chan-seung was put in after 2S.
▶ He drove to 2S due to bunt failure, and prepared Bae Chan-seung to pressure his opponent with ball power and strike out. I put the runner in to not send him to third base and increase the probability of striking out, but that remains a regret.
-I was disappointed with Garabito's misjudgment at home.
▶It was a missed ball. The judgment was not bad. I think I saw the game at home. I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm just sad about the result.
-Koo Ja-wook and Ponce had a war of nerves.
▶I think it's a situation that can come out of the postseason. I think I played a role as captain to bring the atmosphere. I think the pitcher thought he was taking advantage of the pitch clock situation.
-He succeeded in hitting the finish line with the opponent's ace.
▶ Since the semi-playoff, the batting has been going to the top. I didn't expect to target Ponce like that. The players prepared really well. Since the batters are alive, how to stop Hanwha's batting power with our pitching power will be important in this series. Hanwha also seems to have prepared well.
