In addition to confirming their advance to the postseason, the two teams ranked first and second fastest will play the last two consecutive games of the season in Gwangju.스포츠토토
The Samsung Lions, who won the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes 9-8 the previous day and ranked second on their own, will try to win consecutive games following the atmosphere in the final match against the KIA Tigers of the Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League, which will be held at Gwangju KIA Champions Field for two days from the 23rd.
Samsung, ranked second after KIA, ranked the fastest in the league, is expected to focus on managing the team and preparing for the upcoming postseason rather than the results of the rest of the game.
Coach Park Jin-man, who led the team back to the fall baseball stage for the first time in three years, also thanked the team and expressed his determination to “challenge bigger goals by preparing important games such as the rest of the year and managing injured players.”
As manager Park Jin-man mentioned, “The team, which was classified as the lowest, was able to overcome its early losing streak and finish the regular season with good results” with a lot of preparation in the camp, Samsung seemed to collapse with eight consecutive losses after two consecutive wins at the beginning of the league, but it turned the mood around with two consecutive wins after one loss against KIA in Gwangju.
After that, Samsung, which recorded its first three-game winning streak of the season against the Lotte Giants, rebounded with the No. 1 monthly record in April.
Samsung, which lost three consecutive sweeps against KIA at home in early July ahead of the All-Star Game, showed signs of faltering from July to early August, but this time again, it won one game after losing one game in Gwangju and finished the next week with a weekly performance of 5 wins and one loss, and eventually achieved the top monthly performance in August with an overwhelming 17 wins and seven losses.
Samsung, which has a lot of memories of saving its team by winning away games in Gwangju rather than in crisis, has emerged as an important showdown in the two consecutive games in Gwangju to create an atmosphere that does not lose on the road against KIA, which is inferior to the season.
Samsung, which had a full advantage over the six teams this season, was inferior to SSG Landers and KT Wiz, but showed a second-place performance by one or two games, but continued to be weak against KIA.
It’s comforting that Samsung, which failed to use its strength in the KIA match with 4 wins and 10 losses in the previous match, won three of its four victories away from Gwangju.
Samsung, which has struggled in each KIA match with one win and six losses at home, has won three games and four losses against Gwangju so far with two games left on the road.
If Samsung catches both of the remaining two games against KIA, Samsung can remain a team that has shown strong performance against KIA in Gwangju.
Both teams are expected to use various players in preparation for the fall to protect their main players and face off against each other in preparation for the postseason.
For Samsung, if it succeeds in advancing to the Korean Series for the first time in nine years in autumn baseball, the confidence of Gwangju’s away game is expected to grow even more.
Considering the characteristics of KIA, which has relatively less wins at home than Won Information, whether Samsung will win away to Gwangju with various cards in preparation for the Korean Series while saving its core power is expected to be a major point to watch for Samsung in the last week of the regular league ahead of the fall baseball season.
