Following the second game of the semi-playoff, the third game also saw the error block the magical journey. As a result of self-destruction due to errors in two consecutive games, one loss will be on the brink of ending autumn baseball.
Game 3 of the semi-playoff (best of five) between KT Wiz and LG Twins in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO postseason at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 8th.먹튀검증
Ahead of the game, KT manager Lee Kang-chul made significant changes to the starting lineup due to outfielder Kim Min-hyuk's cold. He submitted a list of players in the order of Mel Rojas Jr. (right wing), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Jang Seong-wu (catcher), Oh Jae-il (first baseman), Hwang Jae-gyun (third baseman), Kim Sang-soo (second baseman), Bae Jung-dae (midfielder), Shim Woo-joon (striker), and Jung Joon-young (left wing), and vowed to win the third round.
It was a completely different batting order from the last two games. Kang Baek-ho, who was No. 4, was forward-deployed as No. 2, and No. 2 Rojas moved to the leadoff. In place of Kim Min-hyuk, second-year rookie Jung Joon-young will be in left field, and Oh Jae-il will be in charge of first base instead of Moon Sang-cheol. Hwang Jae-gyun, who went down to No. 8, came up to No. 5 thanks to his second hit in Game 2.
Veteran Oh Jae-il, who appeared in 70 postseason games for the first time, took the helm of the team's No. 4. "Oh Jae-il looked in good shape," coach Lee Kang-chul said. And Oh lived up to his coach's belief by sending a tying sacrifice fly to right field with one out and runners on first and third in the bottom of the third inning when his team was losing 1-2.
The problem was defense. Starter Wes Benjamin fouled a leadoff man, Moon Sung-joo, in the top of the fifth inning with a 3-2 lead, but first baseman Oh Jae-il made a mistake when he missed it. Catchers Jang Sung-woo and Oh Jae-il gathered at the same time toward the hit, but Oh couldn't hold the perfect catch due to poor call play. Benjamin then walked Moon.
The price of his error was too high. Benjamin took a breather when dealing with Hong Chang-ki as the second baseman, but after Shin Min-jae's hit to the left, he gave a three-run homer to Austin. The cutter (141 kilometers) near the first pitch led to a 130-meter home run to the left. It was the moment when he allowed the final home run in Game 3.
KT also allowed a three-run shot at the top of the third inning against Austin in Game 3 of the Korean Series on Nov. 10 last year. Coincidentally, the starting pitcher was Benjamin at the time. Oh Jae-il's error even recalled the painful nightmare of the Korean Series.
KT lost to LG 5-6, falling to a two-game losing streak after one win in the series. At the same time, if the team loses one more game, it is on the brink of ending its magical journey.
In the best-of-five semi-playoffs, the team that won Game 3 from 1 win and 1 loss has a 100% chance of advancing to the playoffs (6 out of 6).
