Kim Tae-gun's hard-pull ball stretches to the left and crosses the fence.

A thunderous home run that surprised both the batter and the audience.

It's a grand slam with a two-out bases loaded, and it's a wedge shot that actually decided the game.

Kim added to his joy by hitting his first postseason home run with a bases-loaded walk in the Korean Series.

Breaking the expectation that it would be a tight pitching match due to the ace showdown, KIA's batting line-up beat Samsung's mound from the beginning.

He scored by hitting consecutive hits from the first inning against Won Tae-in, and led 3-0 in the third inning with three hits and a walk.

The fact that KIA batters such as Kim Sun-bin continued to play and increased Won Tae-in's pitch count also contributed to the easy solution of the game.

In the end, the KIA lineup, which replaced the Samsung ace in less than three innings, won a big victory over Samsung by adding Kim Tae-gun's home run and Socrates' wedge two-run home run in the sixth inning.

KIA made the series record 3-1, with only one win left until its long-awaited 12th win.

Samsung, which took a breather with the victory in Game 3, was on the brink of a painful defeat even after giving up an ace.

[Park Jin-man / Samsung manager: Now that we're in the corner, I think we'll have to put all our energy into the fifth game.]

In all-time Korean Series, the team, which had a 3-1 lead through Game 4, has won 16 of its 17 final championships.

The Korean Series between KIA, which is close to winning the championship, and Samsung, which is in a tight spot, will take a day off and continue its Game 5 in Gwangju on Monday.
