The tide has turned. After being pushed to the brink, KT has found its groove.

KT swept NC 11-2 in the fourth game of the playoffs at NC Park in Changwon on April 3. After losing Games 1 and 2, KT took Games 3 and 4 to even the series. They will return home to Suwon to play the final game for a spot in the Korean Series in Game 5 on Friday. The momentum was now in KT's favor.

Starter William Cuevas pitched six shutout innings, striking out three and walking none, and the bats found their groove, pounding out 14 hits, including three home runs.

The game played out exactly as KT coach Lee Kang-cheol had said the day before, "If we win the third game, we have the advantage."

Cuevas redeemed himself for his poor performance in Game 1. On Oct. 30, he gave up seven runs (four earned) on six hits, one home run and two walks in three innings. With the ace going down early, KT fell to 5-9. In game two, the bats failed to find their groove, falling 2-3 and facing elimination from the series.

However, KT bounced back with a 3-0 victory in Game 2, led by a strong pitching performance from Korea's No. 1 starter Ko Young-pyo, and sent Cuevas out again. Cuevas, who threw 75 pitches in Game 1 and was knocked out early, returned for Game 4 with only three days' rest and a must-win game. When asked by manager Lee Kang-cheol, who already had Game 4 in mind when the first pitch was thrown, Cuevas said, "No problem," and responded with a great pitch.

It was a comeback that was reminiscent of 2021, when KT won the overall championship and went on to play Samsung, which was tied for first place after 144 games, in the title game. Cuevas threw 108 pitches in his final regular-season start on Oct. 28, but started the championship game on Oct. 31 with just two days of rest. Cuevas threw a whopping 99 pitches for seven innings of one-hit ball, striking out eight and walking none, helping KT to a 1-0 victory and the regular season title. Cuevas also pitched 7.2 innings of one-run ball in Game 1 of the Korean Series, leading KT to a four-game sweep.

After suffering his first loss in the playoffs since starting in fall baseball, Cuevas came to KT's rescue once again with another three-day stint on the mound. He kept the NC bats at bay with a no-hitter until Son Ah-seop singled up the middle in the top of the sixth inning.

The batting lineup also provided strong support. After easily scoring two runs in the first inning on Park Byung-ho's single and Jang Jang-woo's sacrifice fly to center field, KT added another run in the second inning on a wild pitch by NC's second pitcher 카지노사이트 Lee Jae-hak and a run-scoring double by Hwang Jae-gyun to make it 4-0. An RBI single by Jang Ji-dae in the third and solo home runs by Hwang Jae-gyun and Jang Jang-woo in the fourth made it 8-0, effectively sealing the game. Even after Cuevas was sent down, the KT bats added two more runs in the seventh and a solo home run by Anthony Alford in the eighth.

From the third-place fight at the end of the season to the wild card decider, the semifinals, and then the playoffs, the NC has shown the limits of its physical strength. With the hitters silent, starter Song Myung-ki got off to a difficult start, giving up four runs in 1.1 innings and forcing the game to a fifth game.

"He's a grateful player."

Choi Won-ho never fails to say thank you when talking about veteran right-hander Lee Tae-yang, 33. The reliever started the season pitching in all weathers, rallying from behind to seal the win. Long relievers have been responsible for long innings when starters go down early.

His role changed as the team reshuffled its starting rotation, losing starters to injury and poor performance. Even after switching to the starting role, he still fulfills his assigned role. Lee is the centerpiece of Hanwha's starting rotation without Moon Dong-ju. He is a regular starter alongside foreign pitchers Felix Peña and Ricardo Sanchez.

On the 18th, Hanwha played against KT Wiz at Daejeon Baseball Stadium. After dropping two games of a doubleheader the day before (Nov. 17), Hanwha fell into a four-game losing streak. A six-game winning streak came to a screeching halt. With the team desperate to end the losing streak, Lee Tae-yang stepped up. He pitched five innings of three-hit ball and gave up two runs to earn his third win of the season. Hanwha came from behind to win 6-2 and end the losing streak.

After retiring KT's first three batters in the top of the first inning, Lee gave up an early lead in the second.

The leadoff hitter, No. 4 Anthony Alford, hit a triple to right-center field. It was a big hit that hit the fence. After retiring the next two batters, he gave up a single to left to No. 6 Bae Jae-dae.

After that, he settled down. He struck out three straight batters in the third and fourth innings. In the top of the fifth inning, he struggled with 바카라 his pitches. He gave up back-to-back singles to Shin Bong-ki. Kim Sang-soo singled to put runners on first and second.

He was hit by a pitch. With runners on second and third, he got Kim Min-hyuk to fly out to center field to end the inning.

Lee turned to the bullpen in the sixth inning with a 5-2 lead. Joo Hyun-sang, Lee Min-woo, Jang Si-hwan, and Park Sang-won took over and pitched four scoreless innings.

Lee was pulled early after giving up three runs in two innings against the Doosan Bears on April 12. Manager Choi Won-ho said, "The ball didn't go well. The opposing batters kept hitting hard," Choi said. After six days off, Lee remained focused until the end.

The parents of a man who committed suicide after becoming addicted to gambling have spoken out against proposals for a 24-hour betting shop in Spalding.

Following the death of their son Jack in 2017, Liz and Charles Ritchie founded the Gambling with Lives charity.

Merkur Slots intends to apply for a 24-hour licence at its Hall Place location.

Mr Ritchie stated that the town core already had "a concentration of bookies," which was "not healthy."

"There are very clear statistics that show that people who gamble late at night or all night are far, far more likely to be harmed," he told the BBC.

"The situation in Spalding is that 카지노사이트 there are already nine or ten bookies there."

"The last thing you need is some kind of all-night facility."

Merkur Slots was granted authorisation to operate from 07:00 to midnight Monday through Saturday and 10:00 to midnight on Sundays in July 2022.

However, according to planning documents, the corporation intends to lift the opening hours limitations.

When queried about the plan, a Merkur spokeswoman stated, "We haven't yet submitted an application, so we aren't in a position to comment."

"We don't have specific timelines because we will first consult with the relevant responsible bodies and conduct due diligence."

The original opening hours were determined because the venue was "within what appears to be a quiet street at night," and 24-hour use "could harm the living conditions of existing residents."

In 2018, Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie were awarded MBEs in the New Year's Honours list for their work in establishing Gambling with Lives.

The pair has long contended that gambling-related suicide is directly related to addictive gambling products and the industry's "predatory" marketing practises.
