Lions beat Wiz to reach brink of Korean Series title

The Samsung Lions are inches away from clinching the South Korean baseball championship. In Game 4 of the Korean Series, held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, the Lions defeated the KT Wiz with a score of 10-5, securing a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-seven series. The Lions have the opportunity to secure their first Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) title in 12 years by winning Game 5, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday.

After allowing a run in the top of the first inning, the Lions responded with a six-run rally in the bottom of the first, leading to their third consecutive victory in this series. Park Seung-kyu, the No. 2 hitter, drove in three runs, while 19-year-old starting pitcher Jang Chan-hee pitched four innings of one-run ball. Reliever Lee Jae-hee then worked 2 2/3 perfect innings. The two teams combined for a league-high 19 walks and hit-by-pitches, marking the most such incidents in a single Korean Series game.
