The SK Wyverns set a league record last night with their 17th consecutive victory. The team came out with a massive banner and unveiled 1 banner for each W around the stadium. With fireworks!
The Joongang Daily's Kim Seek takes a look at the KBO's controversial tie rules.
Seoul Heroes 6, Doosan 1
W - Lee Hyeon- seung (13-10), L - Hong Sang-sam (9-6)
Well, if Doug Clark has to play baseball, he must play it HARD. The Heroes foreign center fielder finished the game 1-2 with 4(!) RBIs. 3 of them came on a double with bases loaded in the 5th inning. The other came on a sac fly in the 1st inning. Heroes starter Lee Hyeon-seung get the Doosan B team at bay for 7 innings. Lee gave up 1 run on 7 hits, 2 walks and 1 hit batsman while striking out 4.
SK 7, Samsung 4
W - Yoon Gil-hyeon (6-0), L - Park Min-gyu (0-2)
With this loss, Samsung is out of the post season for the first time in 12 years. It also put Jerry Royster and the Lotte Giants in the post season for the 2nd year. I guess this means we're going to get to see Jerry sing at Sajik Stadium this week. Joy.
SK absolutely pantsed a pitcher named Park Min-gyu. I wouldn't be surprised if Park was a fan plucked out of the stands. He pitched like it. He allowed 7 baserunners in 1 1/3 innings of work. He was finally chased from the game after allowing a 2-run blast to SK left fielder Park Jae-sang. Park's blast gave SK a 5-1 advantage and the Wyverns never looked back. Gary Glover was brought in for the 9th inning and he made things exciting, but the deficit the Lions were facing was just too great. SK got to have their banner ceremony and I get to pack away my jerseys and hats for the next 6 months.
Hanhwa 4, LG 2
W - Ryu Hyeon-jin (13-12), L - Lee Seung-woo (0-3), S - Brad Thomas (12)
It was a sad night to be a Hanhwa fan. In addition to sitting at the bottom of the standings, Hanhwa icon Song Jin-woo called it a career last night. Song had played 21 seasons with the Binggrae/Hanhwa Eagles. He leaves the KBO with a career record of 210-153. He struck out 2,048 batters in 3003 innings pitched and posted a career ERA of 3.51. He's the career record holder for wins, strikeouts and innings pitched.
After Song allowed a hit to the first batter, he was pulled for Ryu Hyeon-jin. Ryu tossed 8 1/3 innings(113 pitches, 78 strikes) of relief. Ryu gave up only 2 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk with 11 K's. Lee Beom-ho lead the Hanhwa offense by going 2-4 with a homer, 2 RBIs and 1 run scored. Brad Thomas recorded the final 2 outs for the save.
