Hanwha Eagles beat Nexen Heroes to stay alive in baseball postseason
By Yoo Jee-ho
SEOUL, Oct. 22 (Yonhap) -- The Hanwha Eagles defeated the Nexen Heroes 4-3 to stay alive in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason on Monday.
Veteran designated hitter Kim Tae-kyun knocked in the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth inning, as the Eagles prevailed by the narrowest of margins in Game 3 of the first-round series at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
The Eagles had dropped the first two games of the best-of-five series at home last week, and blew a couple of leads in this one before Kim put them ahead for good with his RBI double.
Game 4 is back inside the dome at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The Eagles bounced back after hitting into a triple play -- only the third in postseason history -- in the second inning.
