Professional baseball kt won two consecutive games against Doosan in the wild card game and reached the semi-playoff.

It is the first time that the fifth-ranked team, which came up with one loss, beat the fourth-ranked team to continue the fall baseball.

KT Benjamin and Doosan's Choi Seung-yong, who started with a heavy task, instilled the tension of the game with a tight pitching match until the fourth inning.

The first opportunity I got was kt at the beginning of the fifth inning.

However, Doosan raised the bullpen one after another to put out the urgent fire with the bases loaded with two outs.

Doosan, out of the crisis, had Huh Kyung-min's hit in the bottom of the fifth inning with a one-out second base, but Rojas' strong shoulders caught Yang Suk-hwan, who was playing home.

KT, which brought back the flow, started the sixth inning with Rojas' double.

And Kang Baek-ho, who caught the bat short, scored a valuable winning run with a timely hit.

Benjamin kept the mound until the seventh inning and blocked Doosan's batters with three hits.


Ko Young-pyo and Park Young-hyun took care of the rest of the inning neatly, winning 1-0.

KT, ranked fifth, has made a new history of advancing to the semi-playoff with one loss for the first time since 2015, when the wild card final began.

[Lee Kang-chul / KT manager: I think our team is really amazing. The players did a great job, and I will try to get the first record again with the fans for the first record.]

Doosan, which was eliminated in the wild-card game last year, left the fall baseball forlorn again this year, leaving a disgraceful record of no goals in two consecutive games.

[Lee Seung-yeop / Doosan manager: I'm sorry to the fans and it's been a day where I felt that our team has more things to do]

He won three consecutive games at the end of the regular season, the first game to decide on the fifth place, and the wild card game.

KT, which is facing a magical autumn with six consecutive wins, will play the best-of-five semi-playoff against LG, the opponent of last season's Korean Series, starting Saturday.
