CHANGWON, South Korea, - The NC Dinos defeated the SSG Landers 7-6 to complete a three-game sweep of their South Korean baseball postseason series Wednesday.
Jason Martin smacked a go-ahead, three-run home run to key a four-run second inning at Changwon NC Park in the southeastern town of Changwon, and five Dinos relievers held the Landers to a run over the final seven innings in Game 3 of the first round in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason.
The Landers bowed out of their Korean Series title defense without winning a game in this postseason.
The Dinos will now face the No. 2 seed KT Wiz in the best-of-five second round starting Monday at the Wiz home of Suwon, just south of Seoul.
The Wiz won the 2021 Korean Series title, a year after the Dinos won their first championship.
