Elin, who cried at the runner-up prize 22 years ago, had a pleasant revenge, saying, "I'm proud that I won the game I watched on TV."

As is well known, LG Twins pitcher Lim Chan-kyu was originally from Elin. He clearly remembered Game 6 of the Korean Series against the Samsung Lions 20 years ago. At the time, LG led the game 9-6, but gave up the title after hitting a tying three-run homer to Lee Seung-yeop and a walk-off homer to Ma Hae-young in the ninth inning. Lim Chan-kyu, who was a fourth grader at the time, said, "I scolded my mom for not going to school." As a result, the playoff against Samsung was bound to come in a different way to Lim. 

Lim Chan-kyu, who started Game 3 of the playoffs against Samsung held at Jamsil Stadium on the 17th, saved the team on the brink of a cliff. LG lost both of its previous two games and was in a situation to end the season if it lost Game 3, but became a hero in the midst of difficulties with its best pitching. Lim Chan-kyu showed off his perfect pitching of three hits, one walk, four strikeouts and no runs in five ⅓ innings against the Samsung batters, who have scored double-digit points in two consecutive games. Following starter Lim Chan-kyu, LG kept the 1-0 victory by putting in "Bulpen Choi Dong-won" Eliaser Hernandez (two hits, one walk, five strikeouts and no runs in three ⅔ innings). The MVP of Game 3 of the playoffs was up to Lim Chan-kyu. 토토사이트


In an official interview after the game, Lim Chan-kyu said, "It could have been the last game, but I think the mood will be good until the fourth game because we can win the match by a one-point margin." Playing in the elimination game on the day following the fifth round of the semi-playoff, Lim said, "I tried to do it with the same mindset. I was a little less nervous than in the fifth round of the semi-playoff against KT Wiz. Rather, I tried to throw my ball hard to be comfortable. The fielders helped me a lot and it was a game with a lot of luck." 

"I want to avenge the 2002 Korean Series," Lim said ahead of the playoffs. "Rather than feeling that I avenged the series because it was not over, I am more proud to be able to go out and win the game that I used to watch on TV when I was young." Do you have any regrets about not finishing the sixth inning? "I didn't care what number of innings I came down to. Hernandez was waiting in the background, so I wanted to hand over the best situation, and I was able to win thanks to Hernandez's good defense," Lim said. 


When asked about his secret to good pitching in the postseason by winning two semi-playoff games against KT, he said, "I think I have changed a little bit as I have failed a lot. As I experienced the Korean Series last year, I think my experience helped me by combining what I failed then with what I failed before." If LG wins Game 4, Lim Chan-kyu will start Game 5. "I think Game 4 starting pitcher Ence will do a great job. My mindset is to always leave whenever I want. If I do, I will prepare well to win the game," he said. 

Meanwhile, Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "Pimali had a match. Starting pitcher Lim Chan-gyu has shown great performance in the post season, and he played a perfect role as a starting pitcher again today." "I think Lim Chan-gyu has surely grown into a player who has a higher career in the semi-playoff. I think he has gained a routine to design his pitching by winning 10 games for the second consecutive year. I look forward to next season even more."
