In addition, Kia was the first team to secure 70 wins (two draws and 46 losses) with the victory on the day. There is a 76.5 percent chance that a team that has secured 70 wins in the previous KBO league will directly advance to the Korean Series by ranking first in the regular season, 26 times out of 34 times.
Socrates was the most contributing factor to the victory. Socrates hit a timely hit at the end of the eighth inning, leading Kia to victory on the day. Socrates had one hit and two RBIs, followed by Kim Do-young one hit, one homer, one RBI and three runs, Na Sung-bum multi-hit, and one RBI and one run including Kim Tae-gun’s homer.
After the game, head coach Lee Bum-ho said, “There have been no additional runs since the beginning of the fourth inning, so we were able to eventually win the game from behind.”
“After starting pitcher Kim Do-hyun went down the mound, a perfect relay game continued from Kim Ki-hoon to closer Jung Hae-young,” he said. “Kim Ki-hoon, who came up as the second pitcher, was able to change the atmosphere by blocking two innings well, and Jeon Sang-hyun, who took the mound in a crisis, perfectly blocked 1.2 innings.”
“Kim Sun-bin’s recent performance stands out. He is leading the offense well by recording multi-hits,” he said. “Homerun of Kim Tae-gun and Kim Do-young also played a big role in changing the mood, and Socrates hit the come-from-behind final hit with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning.”
Finally, Lee said, “I’ve been playing well since last week with balance of pitching and hitting. I’ll try to maintain this atmosphere.”
