KIA took the lead by taking care of both the first and second games of the Korean Series, which were suspended and delayed due to autumn rain.

Samsung is preparing to fight back in Game 3 of moving to Daegu. Let's talk to the sports department's Youngsoo Kim reporter. Please come in.

Above all, there were literally a lot of twists and turns because of the weather.

[Reporter]
That's right. Not only the players but also the baseball fans were so desperate. It was originally last Monday. The first game began on the 21st. But it stopped because it rained. Suspended games have been declared, not to mention the Korean Series.

It was the first time in all post-seasons. I was going to resume the game the next Tuesday. It rained a little, but I thought I could do it if I did well, but the game was postponed again the next day. At that time, the ground condition was very bad, so I made that decision. So, the remaining games of the first game and the second game were pushed to the next day. In the end, the remaining games of the first game and the second game were all played yesterday. Kia took both games with great momentum.

[Anchor]
Yesterday, the rest of the first game resumed at 4 o'clock, so it continued from the 6th inning. What was the defining scene of Game 1 yesterday?

[Reporter]
Unfortunately, I think you can pick two from Samsung alone. As you said, the remaining games in Game 1 were resumed with Samsung's offense with no outs and runners on first and second bases. Since they led 1:0, Samsung was disappointed that the first game was cut off, but it was still in an advantageous situation. But the bunt failed.

I even made the bases loaded, but I couldn't score a point. I missed a good opportunity. The other one is the 7th episode. This is when I was defending, but the ball thrown by Samsung pitcher Lim Chang-min fell behind the catcher. This is a 1:0, unstable lead. It's not good to have just one, but two came out in a row. So I dedicated two pieces. So I was turned around. The atmosphere must have been burnt by Kia. Kia made a great come-from-behind victory of 5:1 as they came up to the lineup.

[Anchor]
You picked two great scenes in the first game, but the results of the first game led to the second game, right?

[Reporter]
That's right. The fire on Kia's batting lineup seemed to have burned stronger. Since the first game was over and the second game was held an hour later, I think the atmosphere must have had a lot of influence. He scored as many as five points in the first inning alone. The game was in the mood from the beginning, and Kia starter Yang Hyun-jong threw it really well.

I threw a lot of fast balls from the beginning, but I held on well. In the end, Kia took the second game 8:3. One notable record was that Samsung had more hits. Samsung had 12 and Kia 10. If you compare it, you can see that Samsung lacked concentration at a critical moment.

[Anchor]
In the end, the players who have to play in the first and second games yesterday, Yang Hyun-jong and Kim Do-young, can come to a conclusion, but Kia brought both games at home. We calculate the probability a lot in short-term games like this, but looking at the rest of the games, Kia has a much higher probability of winning, right?

[Reporter]
That's how it comes out in the data. First of all, it is said that there have been about 20 cases in which a team has won both the first and second games in the past Korean Series. Among them, the team that won two consecutive games has won 18 times. It's 90% if you calculate it as a probability. It's very high. First of all, it cannot be determined by probability, but Kia is in a good mood. I think you can see it like this because you've preoccupied a good position.

But it's not 100%. We've had two upsets, so it's definitely reversible. And I'm sure you'll all remember the wild card game in this fall baseball. Didn't KT reverse the 0% chance? It also showed that the probability is only probability, so I think we need to see the results of the game. The next game is Daegu. I don't know how the results will come out because it's Samsung Home. We prepared an interview between the two team directors. Let's listen to it together.

[Anchor]
I wonder if this atmosphere will stay the same or if the atmosphere will be reversed in Daegu, what is the prospect of Game 3?

[Reporter]
First, in Game 3, Samsung announced Reyes and Kia announced Lauer as the starting pitcher. Samsung is now almost on the brink of losing another game, so if it loses this time, it's actually hard to beat. As I said earlier, the case of reversal after losing two consecutive games came out when the atmosphere was changed once in Game 3.

So if Samsung loses this time, it has to be determined to write history again. That's how important the game is. In the case of Reyes, they went 11-4 in the regular season, and they played LG in the playoffs. I threw well because I came out of Game 1 and Game 4. They all won the starting championship. However, when he faced Kia in the regular season, he was a little weak.


3 times, but lost 2 times. The ERA is 8.31. Kia Lauer is two wins and two losses in the regular season. The Samsung match came out once, and unfortunately, it was our debut match. At that time, he was going to make a harsh debut, and he pitched 3 1/3 innings, but he gave up 7 hits. And I got home runs from Kang Min-ho and Park Byung-ho.

It must be a very bad memory. I think we need to see how to remove this as well. Looking at the pitchers' records like this, there seems to be a possibility that the two teams' batting lineup will be divided. In addition, Kia's batting lineup has been in a good mood recently, and Samsung has traditionally been called the big guns corps, so I think there will be a hot lineup match.

[Anchor]
I think it's also a point to watch the pitching of pitchers who were weak against each other. Now we're going to Samsung's home Daegu, so please organize the rest of the game schedule.

[Reporter]
The overall schedule has been pushed back a little because of the fall rain. Yesterday, we played the first game and the second game. Today is my day off. As you said, Game 3 will be held tomorrow at Samsung's home Daegu. Game 4 is also played in Daegu. It's best out of seven. It could end here. But from Samsung's point of view, they want to step on Honam again. I think the fans have to pray a lot. Game 5 will be held in Gwangju from next Monday after a day off on Sunday. After that, it will be held until the final match in Gwangju.

[Anchor]
First of all, I think attention will be focused on Daegu tomorrow when the third game will be held. I'll have to wait and see what happens. So far, we have reviewed the situation of the Korean Series with Youngsoo Kim reporter from the sports department. Thank you.
