SEOUL, Oct. 20 (Yonhap) -- The Kia Tigers are moving on in the South Korean base...
In a decisive 13-1 victory over the defending champion LG Twins, the Kia Tigers clinched a perfect sweep of the South Korean baseball postseason series on Tuesday at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. Star batter Kim Do-yeong's seven-run second inning, featuring a grand slam, proved instrumental as starter Keisho Shirakawa struck out a career-high nine batters.
Na Sung-bum and Han Jun-su contributed with solo home runs, making the Tigers just the fourth team to score at least one run from every starting lineup member in a postseason game. The Tigers will now face the Samsung Lions in the next best-of-five series, a rematch of the 2024 Korean Series.
