SUWON, South Korea, Nov. 4 (Yonhap) -- The Samsung Lions edged out the KT Wiz 3-2 in extra innings on the road Wednesday to even up the Korean Series at one game apiece.
The Lions scored the go-ahead run on an error by Wiz second baseman Oh Yoon-suk in the top of the 12th inning before a sellout crowd of 17,700 at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, some 30 kilometers south of Seoul.
Lewin Diaz scampered home on the play to score the winning run. He batted 4-for-5 and drove in two runs for his team. He had two singles, a double and a triple to fall a home run shy of the first cycle in Korea Baseball Organization postseason history.
The best-of-seven Korean Series will now shift to the Lions' home of Daegu Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, about 230 kilometers southeast of the capital, for the next three games.
Game 3 will be 6:30 p.m. Friday, followed by Game 4 at 2 p.m. Saturday and Game 5 at 2 p.m. Sunday.
