The NC Dinos, the city's home professional team, started the fall baseball season ranked 4th in the regular league and continued their winning streak with six consecutive victories from the wild card game to the 2nd game of the playoffs.


This playoff series is against the kt Wiz. The NC Dinos won consecutive games against the kt Wiz in the 1st and 2nd games held in Suwon on the 30th and 31st of last month. Although they lost the 3rd game, they are just one win away from advancing to the Korean Series.


On the 2nd, Mayor Hong visited Changwon NC Park Masan Stadium and had a conversation with baseball officials including KBO Commissioner Hur Koo-yeon and NC Dinos CEO Lee Jin-man about ways to develop professional baseball. He then joined NC Dinos fans in cheering for the team and wished for their advancement to the Korean Series.


Mayor Hong said, “I am very pleased that the NC Dinos have achieved such good results in the first fall baseball held since the opening of Changwon NC Park Masan Stadium. I hope they will recreate the glory of winning the 2020 Korean Series with passionate games until the very end. The city will also do its best to create a pleasant viewing environment and to promote professional sports.”



Meanwhile, the NC Dinos, with 2 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs, are preparing for the 4th game at their home stadium in Changwon at 6:30 PM on the 3rd.
