Kia in First Place

Kia's in first place after beating the Lions. This is very exciting. I don't have time to translate this entire article, but I will translate the first few sections.

Like the Sun Rising: Kia Tigers in First Place for the First Time in 2516 Days

The Kia Tigers are in first place in this year's "Magoo Magoo" Korean Baseball League season standings after defeating the Samsung Lions 4-3. Their win was helped by spectacular performances from Kim Sang-hyun (3 hits, 3 RBI's), pitcher A. Lopez (1oth win of the season), and a save by Yoo Dong-hoon (1.1 perfect innings).

SK Wyverns' 11-4 win over the Doosan Bears and Kia's first 4 game win streak of the season paved the way for their grand entrance to the top.

The last time Kia was at this position was back in 2002: September 12. That's 7 years or 2516 days ago. It looks like Kia's going to be a real contender along with SK and Doosan for this year's Korea Series.

I have no time to translate the rest now but if you have any questions I can look over the article and answer.
