# Kia's 3-game winning streak continues, will it overtake Doosan on the 13th?

"Lee Woo-sung was the key to victory".

The KIA Tigers kept their dreams of a come-from-behind fifth place alive with a third straight win.

They gave up three early runs against the Lotte Giants in Gwangju on Wednesday, but rallied to win a hard-fought 6-5 victory.

Lee Woo-sung hit a two-run double in the bottom of the third inning after falling behind 0-3. In the fourth, Ko Jong-wook drew a walk and Socrates doubled to center field. In the bottom of the seventh, with the score tied at 5-5, Lee lined a single to left field to drive in the winning run.

The bullpen shined. Park Joon-pyo struck out four in relief. Jeon Sang-hyun pitched 1⅔ scoreless innings with the bases loaded to secure the win. Jung overcame a two-out bases-loaded jam in the ninth to earn his 22nd save.

Coach Kim Jong-kook said, "We had a difficult start to the game when Sanchez gave up a run, but Lee Woo-sung hit a two-run double in the bottom of the third inning to change the mood, and Socrates came through with the game-winning hit in the bottom of the fourth inning when we were down by two runs. Then, with the game tied once again, Lee Woo-sung delivered the game-winning hit. It was a strong performance from the center field lineup."

"On the mound, Park Jun-pyo, who came in as the third pitcher, pitched 1.1 innings of solid relief, and Jeon Sang-hyun pitched 1.2 [카지노사이트](https://www.oncasinosite.net) innings of relief despite having a crisis, which gave us a lot of strength on the mound."

Finally, he said, "The victory was even more meaningful because it came in a tough situation. We have three games left and we'll give it our all. I would like to thank the fans for their support."

Kia will face fifth-place Doosan, which has a two-game lead in the standings, at night on the 13th. Right-hander Kim Gun-gook will start the game. Doosan has right-handed fastballer Kwak Bin. They need to beat Doosan to keep the momentum going.
