From Heaven to Hell and Back... What Happened to Diaz in the 12-Inning Korean Series Thriller?

In Game 2 of the 2026 KBO Korean Series held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon yesterday (November 4), the Samsung Lions defeated the KT Wiz 3-2 after a grueling 12-inning battle, leveling the series at one win and one loss.

On this day, Samsung's Lewin Diaz put on a stellar performance, racking up four hits—including a triple and a double—and driving in two runs.

However, he left fans with a sense of regret by providing the opening for a game-tying run due to a crucial defensive error in the 10th inning.

Yet, in the 12th inning, he found himself at the center of the drama once again, scoring the game-winning run by capitalizing on an opponent's throwing error.

Manager Park Jin-man described Diaz by saying, "He is the very person who made us bounce back and forth between heaven and hell."

After the game, Diaz bowed his head at a 90-degree angle to apologize to Manager Park Jin-man.

Sports Mug brings you his roller-coaster of a day filled with both laughter and sighs.
