Despite the injury variable of foreign pitcher Raul Alcantara, the Kiwoom Heroes beat the first-place Samsung Lions in professional baseball.

Kiwoom earned a 3-1 home win over the Samsung Lions in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League at Gocheok Dome on the 22nd. Starter Alcantara, who was pitching a scoreless gem, was pulled before finishing the fifth inning due to elbow pain, but the bullpen shut down the remaining frames. In the lineup, Kim Ung-bin launched a solo shot to lead the team to victory.
