Samsung, confirmed to play in Game 7 of the KS

Last night, Samsung won Game 5 with Oh Seung-hwan saving the game, beating Doosan by a score of 8 to 5. Now, they are facing Doosan again in their home stadium, Daegu. If Doosan wins, they win the Series. If Samsung wins, they get to go to the final game where everything is decided.
Today's Samsung starter is Rick VandenHurk, who was responsible for the win last game. Hopefully he will unleash his 'Hulk' power and win this game for sure. Doosan will start off strong with Dustin Nippert, the ace of the team.
The game started with a lead-off homerun from Jung Soo-bin, the star outfielder. This solo homerun caused panic in the Samsung fans, wondering if they will win this. A few more base and balls made the manager of Samsung Ryu Joong-il so jittery that he changed pitchers after the first inning. The score stayed that way until the 3rd inning, when Bae Young-sup hit a sacrifice fly ball for catcher Jin Gap-yong to score. Doosan took the lead again in the 5th inning, when Cha Woo-chan allowed a solo homerun from Choi Jun-suk, putting the score to 2:1.
In the 6th inning, Chae Tae-in hit a homer when Park Han-i hit a single, which brought the score to 2:3. In the 7th inning, Samsung scored 3 more times when Park Han-i slammed one over the fence with 2 runners on base. By then, Nippert was switched to Yoon Myung-jun.
Doosan couldn't do anything to turn the tables, and Oh Seung-hwan came in the 9th inning and saved the game for a total of 3 saves in the Series.

Win: Sim Chang-min (Samsung)
Lose: Nippert (Doosan)
