Will Samsung, leading with two wins and one loss, secure a walk-off victory, or will KIA strike back? Game 4 of the professional baseball playoffs is unfolding as a fierce battle through the middle innings.

Let's connect with reporter Lee Seonghun for the latest situation.

Samsung, which has won two straight games after losing Game 1, drew first blood today (October 30).

In the second inning, KIA third baseman Kim Do-young robbed Choi Hyeong-woo of a sure hit with a spectacular defensive play, but following consecutive hits by Kim Young-woong and Kang Min-ho, Ryu Ji-hyuk—the hero of yesterday's Game 3 come-from-behind home run—hit the opening RBI single.

The KIA batting lineup, shaken up by manager Lee Bum-ho, launched a counterattack in the fourth inning.

Star player Kim Do-young, moved up to the number two batting spot for the first time this fall postseason, got on base with a leadoff double. Later, Han Jun-su, playing as the designated hitter instead of catcher just like in Game 1, drove in a crucial game-tying double down the left-field line with two outs, sending the home fans into a frenzy.

Samsung's Fedde and KIA's Nail, the two foreign aces who took the mound after just three days of rest following their Game 1 starting duel, both pitched brilliantly, allowing only one run each through five innings. KIA initiated an all-out bullpen battle first by bringing in Kwak Do-gyu in the top of the sixth inning, but a moment ago, Samsung's 42-year-old veteran Choi Hyeong-woo blasted a solo home run over the right-field wall to reclaim the lead.

As of the sixth inning, Samsung is leading by a single run at 2 to 1, seizing the opportunity to close out the playoffs today.
