SEOUL - The KT Wiz clinched a dramatic win in the first game of the Korean Series, defeating the LG Twins 3-2. The pivotal moment came in the ninth inning at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Nov. 7, 2023, when Moon Sang-chul hit a crucial RBI double, breaking the 2-2 tie.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Moon's hit and Park Yeong-hyun's perfect ninth inning, securing his second career postseason save, were decisive in the Wiz's victory. The game was marked by high tension and dramatic turns, including a triple play, impressive fielding, and baserunning errors, all in front of a sellout crowd. Moon Sang-chul, initially involved in a triple play error, redeemed himself with the game-winning hit. Historically, in 39 Korean Series, the team winning the first game has gone on to win the title 74.4 percent of the time.
