Excitable Lions outfielder continues postseason breakout with big day

DAEGU — In the Korean baseball postseason, Samsung Lions outfielder Park Seung-kyu aimed to have a breakout campaign that could help the team reach the top. The 26-year-old has mostly succeeded, particularly in the Korean Series. In Game 4, where his team defeated the KT Wiz 10-5, Park went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Despite missing earlier games, he is currently tied for the team lead in runs scored with four, and he has one of two home runs, joining Koo Ja-wook.

Park expressed his happiness with his performance, saying he's going crazy in a positive way. He contributed a run in the third inning that put the Lions ahead 7-1, and later hit a two-run double in the bottom of the fifth to extend the lead to 9-4. Manager Park Jin-man noted that Park is not only helping the team score but also energizing the entire dugout.
