Facing the leadoff hitter was what made him most nervous.

Won Tae-in, who appeared as the closer in the top of the ninth inning for Samsung, retired KIA Kim Sun-bin with a strikeout after a 10-pitch duel, then caught his breath.

Samsung won 8-3 against the KIA Tigers in Game 2 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Postseason Playoffs on the 27th at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, evening the series score to 1-1.

Won Tae-in, who took the mound to fill the void left by closer Kim Jae-yoon's injury, struck out Kim Sun-bin and then Han Jun-soo, followed by recording an infield grounder from Ha Ju-seok, to close out the game with three consecutive outs.
