Professional Baseball SSG·NC Fight for 3rd Place

Professional baseball SSG·NC fight for 3rd place until the end... Doosan confirmed 5th place

In the fierce battle for third place in professional baseball, the Doosan Bears were eliminated first, and the winner of third place will be decided on the 17th, the final day of the regular season.

Doosan lost 2-3 despite fierce pursuit in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League home game against SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 16th.

As a result, Doosan confirmed 5th place with 74 wins, 2 draws, and 67 losses ahead of the final match against SSG in Incheon on the 17th.

Even if Doosan is tied with NC Dinos, it is unable to surpass NC as it is 64-66, 2 points behind in the most points scored, which is the second highest score after the two teams' record (8 wins, 8 losses).

According to the KBO tournament guidelines, if two or more teams are tied for 1st and 5th place in the regular league, a single match will be held, but for 2nd to 4th place, the rankings will be determined in the order of opponent record, most goals scored, and previous year's performance. 온라인카지노

The best winning card that both teams could offer was selected as a starter, and on this day, SSG's left-hander Roenis Elias was better than Doosan's right-hander Raul Alcantara.

Elias blocked the Doosan batting line with 4 hits and 1 run in 7 innings with a sophisticated fast ball that penetrated the body at a maximum speed of 150 km/h.

SSG took the lead in the top of the first inning with Choo Shin-soo's first base double, followed by a send bunt and Hanyu Seom's sacrifice fly.

Then, in the 3rd inning, when leadoff leader Kim Min-sik walked, with 2 outs and runners on second base, the team ran away with a 2-0 lead thanks to Hanyu Seom's timely hit to right.

As Doosan followed up with a run in the bottom of the 5th inning with Heo Gyeong-min's double that hit the top of the left fence, SSG added 1 run in the top of the 7th inning when Guillermo Heredia's infield hit to third base following a hit and walk with two outs.

Because Heredia's batted ball bounced irregularly, Doosan's Heo Gyeong-min left the stadium after being hit in the face by a swooping ball.

Doosan showed its final strength when pinch hitter Kim In-tae hit SSG Landers closer Seo Jin-yong with a superior solo home run in the bottom of the 9th inning, but was unable to capitalize on the last opportunity with 2 outs and 1st and 2nd bases.

SSG pushed out NC, which lost that day, and rose to third place.

NC suffered a painful 2-4 defeat in the Gwangju away game.

NC, which fell to 4th place, 0.5 games behind SSG, will attempt to turn the tables in the final game of the season against KIA on the 17th.

If SSG defeats Doosan on the 17th, it will advance directly to the semi-playoffs in 3rd place.

If SSG loses and NC wins, NC takes 3rd place.

NC first scored 2 points in the top of the first inning with Kwon Hee-dong's sweep double to left-center with 2 outs and 1st and 2nd bases combined with Son Ah-seop's infield single and Jason Martin's walk.

Peddy, who virtually secured the triple crown for most wins, ERA, and strikeouts, allowed only 3 hits and struck out 5 in 5⅔ innings until he was hit on the right arm by Ko Jong-wook's batted ball in the 6th inning with no runners out and runners out.

We fought back without giving up any points.

Peddie finished the regular season with 20 wins and 6 losses, an ERA of 2.00 (40 earned runs in 180⅓ innings), and 209 strikeouts.

If Peddy had come off the mound after blocking just one more batter, the ERA could have been lowered to 1.99, so Ko Jong-wook's hard hitting could have been a hit.

Fortunately, Peddie was diagnosed with bruises at the hospital.

Ko Jong-wook, who pushed Peddy off the mound, struck NC Dinos with a tying double that hit the fence in right-center in the bottom of the 8th inning with one out and runners on 1st and 3rd base with one out when the score was 0-2.

KIA turned the tide to 4-2 thanks to Kim Sun-bin's hit to right-center and Lee Woo-sung's double to right-center, and pitched Jeong Hae-young in the top of the 9th to tie the game.
