Starting pitcher Casey Kelly pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out five and walking two. With the win, Kelly earned her 10th win of the season, marking her fifth straight season with double-digit wins. She shut down the KT bats with a variety of pitches and lowered her ERA to 3.86.

After pitching seven scoreless innings, Kelly took off his hat to thank the LG fans who were chanting his name.

After the game, he walked off the field with his hair tied up and the Korean name “Kelly” tattooed behind his ear.

A rare Korean tattoo for a foreign player. It was a glimpse of Kelly’s love for LG.

Kelly had an up-and-down season this season, going 6-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 18 games in the first half of the season, leading to speculation that he would be replaced, but he rebounded in the second half to become an undisputed ace.

In an interview, Kelly thanked the club, his manager and coaching staff, and his teammates for believing in him after his poor first half.

Kelly has bounced back in a big way, pitching at his best when the team needs him the most and helping LG advance to the Korean Series.

LG also won the second DH of the day to reach 80 wins, reducing the magic number of regular season wins from nine to six.
