The LG Twins erased an early deficit to defeat the KT Wiz 7-2 on Sunday to even up their Korea Baseball Organization postseason series at one game apiece.
Light-hitting infielder Shin Min-jae drove in three runs for the Twins, while the bottom third of their lineup contributed four hits, five runs, two RBIs and two steals on this rainy afternoon at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. Twins starter Im Chan-kyu went 5 1/3 solid innings for his second career postseason victory in front of a sellout crowd of 23,750.

This was Im’s longest postseason
outing of his career.
No. 7 hitter Park Dong-won broke a 2-2 tie with a double in the fourth, before No. 9 hitter Moon Sung-ju made it a two-run game with a single.
Shin’s bases-loaded single, combined with an error by left fielder Kim Min-hyuck, plated three runs in the bottom sixth.
Game 3 of this best-of-five series will move to the Wiz’s home, KT Wiz Park in Suwon, just south of Seoul, on Tuesday.
