Baseball City: Busan, Excitement before Game 3

From SBS Sports

It is a day before the game 3 of the KBO semi-finals in Busan. Fans are already gathered around Sajik Stadium for tomorrow's game (Lotte Giants 1, Doosan Bears 1). It is the Chooseok holiday weekend.

Kim Yeong-seong reports..

It is 1 pm at Sajik Stadium in Busan (10/1/09).

Fans are waiting to buy tickets for tomorrow's game.

Some fans have tents up.

Fan Kim Han-jun (Sujeong Dong, Busan): "I've been here since 8 this morning. I'm going to sleep here tonight. I don't have a tent, so I bought a sleeping bag. We're all sleeping in sleeping bags."

Random fans: "Lotte fighting!"

The stadium has set up a big screen just outside for fans who could not get tickets.

Businesses in the area are happy with the traffic.

Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears are going into game three with a win apiece. It is a must-win game for both teams.

Hong Sang-sam is the starting pitcher for Doosan, and he has a 4-0 record against Lotte.

Song Seung-jun is the starter for Lotte, and he is considered the better pitcher of the two.

Each team won their winning games with good hitting from the middle of their batting lineups.

Doosan outfielder Kim Hyun-su: "The pitchers do their thing, but if we hit well I think there's a good chance we can win."

SBS is going to broadcast this important game tomorrow.

Note: The article is kind of vague.. it doesn't say if tickets are sold out or why they're camped out (maybe they just want to sleep there?)

Just reporting what's being said on it..
