In Game 1 of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League Korean Series (4 wins out of 7) held at Jamsil Stadium on the 7th, Moon Sang-cheol hit a gold-winning double in the top of the 9th inning, defeating the regular season's No. 1 team, the LG Twins, 3-2.

With this, KT, who succeeded in taking the lead, is aiming to return to the top of the Korean Series for the first time in two years.

KT, the youngest club in the KBO League, founded in 2015, won its first Korean Series championship in 2021.

In past Korean series, the team that won the first game came out on top 29 out of 39 times, recording a 74.4% winning probability.

KT, which advanced to the Korean Series with a thrilling 3-game winning streak after losing 2 games in a row to the NC Dinos in the playoffs, continued its upward trend of 4 consecutive wins in this fall baseball with this victory.

If we look at the Korean series alone, it is Pajuk’s 5th consecutive win.

Game 2 of the Korean Series between KT and LG will be held at the same location at 6:30 pm on the 8th.

KT announced William Cuevas and LG announced Choi Won-tae as starting pitchers.

As soon as the game started, KT's first hitter, Kim Sang-soo, scored the first run with a witty play.

Kim Sang-soo, who started as the leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning, hit a heavy hit, went to third base with a stolen second base and a bad throw, and then hit home with Hwang Jae-gyun's ground ball to shortstop, giving KT a 1-0 lead.

LG immediately turned the tide after the shift in offense and defense.

After one out in the bottom of the first inning, Park Hae-min and Kim Hyun-soo's consecutive hits gave them a chance to get on first and third base, and Austin Dean hit an infield grounder, but KT second baseman Park Kyung-soo missed, making it 1-1.

In the continued attack, LG had the bases loaded with one out thanks to Oh Ji-hwan's hit to right, and Moon Bo-kyung hit a sacrifice fly to right field to make it 2-1.

KT took the opportunity to get to first and second base with no outs in the top of the second inning, but it was painful to see that Moon Sang-cheol failed to make a sacrifice bunt and suffered a triple strike with all three runners out.

It has been 19 years since Game 7 in 2004 that a triple kill occurred in the Korean Series.

However, KT tied the score at 2-2 in the top of the 4th inning with Jang Seong-woo's timely hit to right with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd bases due to two walks.

At this time, it was also unfortunate that the follow-up runner, Anthony Alford, was caught at home.

In the 7th inning, KT also had runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs and 2nd base runner Seong-Woo Jang, who had come home when pinch hitter Min-Hyuk Kim hit a right-handed hit, was tagged out and hit the ground.

The tight balance that was rarely shaken collapsed in the 9th inning.

KT had two outs in the top of the 9th inning and Bae Jeong-dae took a walk against LG closer Go Woo-seok in a close game that went all the way to 9 pitches and got on base.

Moon Sang-cheol, who then came to bat, kicked a foul at a ball count of 2 balls and 2 strikes, then scooped up Go Woo-seok's sixth pitch falling curve and hit a long hit that directly hit the top of the left fence.

Bae Jeong-dae, a runner on first base, quickly made it to home when Moon Sang-cheol's batted ball extended, scoring a dramatic winning run.

KT, which had won the game, lost the game with Park Young-hyun coming on the mound in the bottom of the 9th inning and a three-way strike.

KT's starter Ko Young-pyo pitched 6 innings, allowing 7 hits and 2 runs, and Son Dong-hyun, who pitched in the 7th inning, pitched 2 innings with no hits and became the winning pitcher.

On the other hand, LG's starting ace Casey Kelly pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 runs, but their trusted closer, Ko Woo-seok, collapsed and lost the first game.
