Daegu:The Samsung Lions are now one victory away from claiming the South Korean baseball championship after a decisive win against the KT Wiz. The Lions triumphed 10-5 in Game 4 of the Korean Series at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, securing a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the Lions can secure their first Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) title in 12 years with a win in Game 5, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday. Historically, only the 2013 Lions have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship.

In the latest game, the Lions overcame an initial run by the Wiz in the first inning by scoring six runs in the bottom of the same inning. Park Seung-kyu contributed significantly with three RBIs, and 19-year-old Jang Chan-hee pitched four innings allowing only one run. Reliever Lee Jae-hee added 2 2/3 innings of perfect relief.

The game also set a record for the most combined walks and hit-by-pitches in a Korean Series game, with a total of 19. The Lions, after a shaky start, took the lead with a series of impressive plays, including Lewin Diaz's game-tying single and Kim Do-hwan's bases-clearing double, putting them ahead 6-1 early in the game.

While the Wiz attempted a comeback, scoring three runs in the fifth inning without a hit, the Lions' bullpen, led by Lee Jae-hee, managed to quash the threat. The Lions added further to their lead with Park Seung-kyu's double in the fifth inning and Koo Ja-wook's RBI double in the seventh. The Wiz's final attempt to close the gap came with a solo home run by Kim Min-hyuck in the eighth inning, but it was not enough to change the outcome.
