In Korea, 5 plays 4, winner plays 3, winner plays 2 winner plays 1. 2 was off 2 weeks and just knocked off 4. The Korean Series starts on Tuesday. The pennant winners LG Twins last played on Oct 14. Casey Kelly! (former Red Sox first rounder) will start Game 1 on something like 28 days rest!

So LG lost the first game (making 4 errors) but then won the next 4 to win the series.
