When the SK Wyverns were able to hold off the Samsung Lions, 6-5, last Sunday, it meant the defending Korea Baseball Organization champs prevented a weekend of series sweeps throughout the KBO. Jae-Song Park of the Wyverns went 3-for-5 with a homer, a stolen base and three RBIs to help SK maintain their league lead with a 32-16-4 record after losing the first two games of the series.
Elsewhere in the KBO last weekend, the second-place Doosan Bears are one game closer to the Wyverns in the standings after taking three straight games from the Hanwha Eagles, including a 2-0 shutout last Sunday as starter Sang-hyeong Kim pitched seven innings of five-hit ball.
The KIA Tigers swept the LG Twins, including a 5-2 series-closing victory last Sunday to go to 27-22-3 for the season. KIA starter Rick Guttormson struggled for the “W” on the mound for the Tigers, throwing 125 pitches in six innings while allowing five runs.
The Seoul Heroes took three straight from the Lotte Giants. The Heroes’ Sung-yong Lee had a great day in Saturday’s 10-8 victory, going 4-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and six RBIs.
