SSG, which can take 3rd place on its own and advance directly to the semi-playoffs by winning the final game of the season held at home, showed concentration in two-hitting against Doosan, which had already confirmed 5th place.
Ace Kim Gwang-hyun showed his strength first.
He did not allow any runs through strikeouts and double plays in every crisis, and pitched 3 hits, no runs, and 4 strikeouts until the 6th inning.
The batting line exploded three times.
Starting with leadoff hitter Kim Min-sik's first solo home run, he scored four runs with a concentrated hit and a sacrifice fly.
In the 4th inning, Seong-Hyun Kim drew a solo arch on the right side of the wall, sending the Munhak Stadium into a frenzy.
With the added strength of the bullpen, SSG defeated Doosan 5-0 and took 3rd place, successfully advancing directly to the semi-playoffs.
On the other hand, 4th place NC, which was chasing SSG by half a game, lost to KIA and failed to regain 3rd place.
NC, which finished this season in 4th place, will play the first wild card game against 5th place Doosan at Changwon Stadium tomorrow.
KIA ace Yang Hyeon-jong pitched well, allowing 1 run in 7 innings, and achieved the milestone of 170 innings in 9 consecutive seasons for the first time in KBO history.
