4/17 - Doosan 13, Samsung 4
4/18 - Samsung 12, Doosan 3
4/19 - Samsung 5, Doosan 4

Doosan absolutely hung one on Samsung on Friday. The score was 12-0 before the 3rd inning was over. 13-4 makes this game sound close, but that didn't stop Doosan from using 7 different pitchers. Doosan exploded for a 4-run 2nd and a 6-run 3rd inning. Kim Dong-ju, Choi Joon-seok and Son Si-hyeon all delivered 3 RBI efforts for Doosan. Francisco Cruceta was awful again. Only 38 of his 78 pitches thrown went for strikes. He allowed 8 runs(5 earned) on 5 hits and 6 walks. Somehow, he struck out 5 batters. The lone bright spot for the Lions was outfielder Woo Dong-gyun's grand slam in the 4th inning. Woo's homer accounted for all of Samsung's offense in this game.

Samsung got some measure of revenge on Saturday with their 12-3 trouncing of the Bears. Samsung 1st baseman Chae Tae-in exploded with a 2 homer, 4 RBI effort, while Yoon Seong-hwan provided solid pitching. Yoon worked 6 innings(94 pitches, 65 strikes). He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits with 6 K's. Yoon really has emerged as the staff ace for this Samsung team. Here's hoping it continues. Samsung 3rd baseman Park Seok-min also had a nice night at the plate. Park finished 3-3 with 2 doubles, a homer, 2 runs scored and 2 RBIs. It's nice to see him heating up after a rough start.

Kim Sun-woo wasn't able to continue his solid start on Sunday. He was battered for 5 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk in only 1 2/3 innings of work. Samsung and Doosan scored all 9 runs in the first 4 innings and watched the bullpens put up 0 after 0 for 5 innings. Veteran Samsung infielder Shin Myeong-cheol went 3-4 with a first inning homer, 3 RBI's and 2 runs scored while left fielder Kim Hyeon-su and 1st baseman Choi Jun-seok both clubbed solo homers for Doosan. Samsung closer Oh Seung-hwan notched his 3rd save with a 1-2-3 9th inning.
