KIA collapsed without starting pitcher Yang Hyun-jong holding out for the third inning.

He was hit by a two-run home run by Diaz from the first inning, and he left the mound early by allowing a shot to Kim Young-woong in the next at-bat and another cannon to Diaz in the third inning.

Samsung showed off its brinkmanship through evil, grit, and grit.

Despite Kang Min-ho's injury departure, he safely overcame the two-out bases-loaded crisis in the fourth inning, but that was it.KIA, which was trailing the

score, tied the score at 5-5 at the bottom of the fifth inning, taking advantage of Kim Yoon-soo's wild pitch on Choi Hyung-woo's solo home run.

And in the sixth inning, the "lucky hit" hit by veteran Kim Tae-gun became the winning run.

KIA, which safely overcame the bases-loaded crisis in the top of the eighth inning, ended the victory by scoring a wedge with Park Chan-ho's double.

Kim Sun-bin, who boasted a batting average of .58 and a hot bat in five games of the Korean Series, beat catcher Kim Tae-gun by just one vote and was named MVP.

KIA, which shot a victory celebration in Jamsil, a neutral stadium, and away, added joy by enjoying the after-party at Gwangju's home turf for the first time in 37 years.
