KT's dramatic ending drama began with Kang Baek-ho's bat.

The umpire declared a foul on a large ball to the left of the left field, but the result of the video review was fair.

Following a two-base hit made by the leadoff batter, Kim Sang-soo walked to four pitches on purpose,
The next batter, Hwang Jae-gyun, also succeeded in the bunt, creating a full base opportunity with no outs.

However, the opportunity seemed to be canceled as Bae Jeong-dae grounded out and pinch hitter Chun Sung-ho struck out, but Shim Woo-joon ended the long game.

The ball hit in the direction of center field could not be caught as the LG shortstop and the second baseman rushed and collided at the same time, and in the meantime, the third baseman dug into the groove.

After more than four hours of overtime, it's the moment kt completed the walk-off victory.

KT, which was on the edge of the cliff with one win and two losses, revived and led the semi-playoff game to Game 5.

Even after hitting back-to-back home runs from LG Kim Hyun-soo and Park Hae-min from the beginning, they did not lose their concentration throughout the game, hitting home runs that were immediately followed.

Closer Park Young-hyun's good pitching, which perfectly blocked 10 LG hitters from 2 outs to 11 innings in the 8th inning, also contributed to the finishing victory.

[Park Young-hyun / KT pitcher: I didn't know that I would throw this many innings, and today's game was difficult, but I'm very happy that the team can win by blocking it like this.]

[Lee Kang-chul/Kt manager: I messed up the game in the 8th inning due to a mistake in replacing pitchers, but the players didn't give up until the end, and Park Young-hyun's pitching in 3 innings was impressive and I'm so grateful]

LG tied the game in the eighth inning and brought the game back to square one, but had to accept the loss by leaving a regret in the final defense.

[Yum Kyung-yeop / LG manager: It was a difficult game overall as we scored and lost a point in the inning, and we will work together to win the last game of Game 5.]

The two teams, which produced a rare masterpiece, will now determine the final winner to reach the playoffs in Game 5 of the semi-playoffs.
