The Samsung Lions secured a spot in the Korean Series for the second consecutive season after defeating the Kia Tigers 6-1 in Game 5 of the second round on Sunday at Daegu Samsung Lions Park. Leadoff hitter Kim Ji-chan contributed three hits and three RBIs, while starting pitcher Ariel Jurado recorded a second win of the series after pitching seven strong innings.
Jurado, who also threw a two-run ball in his Game 2 victory, was named the series MVP. The Lions achieved this feat with a sellout crowd of 23,550 fans in attendance. With this victory, the Lions will face the regular-season champions, KT Wiz, in the best-of-seven championship series, which begins at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at KT Wiz Park in Suwon.
The Wiz, who earned a bye to the Korean Series, are aiming for their second championship title, having won it all in 2021 and losing to the LG Twins in the finals.
