Second place and 6.5G KIA manager Lee Bum-ho

The Kia Tigers, led by head coach Lee Bum-ho, won the match against the Samsung Lions 6-5 on Sunday. The leading Kia Tigers (75 wins, two draws and 49 losses), which swept two consecutive games following the previous day (August 31), widened its game gap with the second-ranked Samsung (69 wins, two draws and 56 losses) to 6.5 games.

KIA's short-term substitute foreign pitcher Eric Stout, who made his debut on the day, was sluggish with five runs in four innings, but his pitching staff, including Kim Ki-hoon (3 innings), Lee Joon-young (0.2 innings), Jeon Sang-hyun (0.1 innings of 숭 Sung-ra pitcher), and Jung Hae-young (1 inning, save), blocked five innings without losing a point to protect the victory.

In the batting lineup, Lee Woo-sung posted two hits and two RBIs from three times at bat, including the final hit in the top of the ninth inning, Kim Do-young posted two hits and one RBI from four times at bat, while Na Sung-bum posted four hits and two RBIs from five times at bat, including his 18th homer. Kim Sun-bin (3 hits from four times at bat) and Choi Hyung-woo (2 hits from five times at bat) also joined the multi-hit lineup.

"Even though we were trailing five points in the beginning of the game, we were able to turn the game around because the batters did not give up and followed us to the end," coach Lee said. "Lee Woo-sung showed great performance with his team's first RBI and decisive winning hit, and Na Sung-bum led the attack well with four hits including a tie-breaking home run. The center hitter line, which led to Kim Do-young, Choi Hyung-woo, Na Sung-bum and Kim Sun-bin, performed well."

"On the pitcher's side, Kim Ki-hoon blocked the opponent's batting line with just one hit while throwing three innings, creating conditions for him to follow. It was the most impressive pitch this season," he said, adding, "The pitching team that led to Lee Joon-young, Jeon Sang-hyun and Jung Hae-young all did their part, and we were able to win a thrilling come-from-behind victory."

Finally, he said, "It was a game where I felt the players' willingness to win," adding, "Everyone did a great job. Thank you to the fans who stayed with me until the end, and I will play well next week."
