GWANGJU — The offense exploded for five runs in the opening frame and starter Adam Oller worked six solid innings, as the Kia Tigers defeated the LG Twins 6-3 for their second straight postseason victory. After emerging victorious in a game played amid intermittent showers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in the southwestern city of Gwangju, the Tigers are now a win away from taking this best-of-five series in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason. The series will move to the Twins' home in Seoul, Jamsil Baseball Stadium, and will resume with Game 3 at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. If the Twins lose, it will be the final game played at Jamsil, a 44-year-old stadium set for demolition after this season. Since this round was added to the postseason in 1989, only twice has a team rallied to take the series after dropping the first two games: the 2010 and 2013 Doosan Bears.

JEONNAM-GWANGJU SPECIAL METROPOLITAN CITY — Kia Tigers starting pitcher Adam Oller made his first South Korean postseason game a memorable one Sunday. The American right-hander limited the LG Twins to two runs on six hits in six innings while striking out eight, helping the Tigers prevail 6-3 in Game 2 of the teams' best-of-five series in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason. In the regular season, Oller finished second in the KBO with a 3.13 ERA and fourth with 180 strikeouts. And he picked up where he left off in his first KBO postseason outing. After Oller worked a clean top of the first inning, his teammates staked him to a 5-0 lead in the bottom first — knocking out Oller's counterpart, Im Chan-kyu, with six hits, including three doubles. After sitting on the bench for several minutes, Oller came back out and struck out two in a perfect second inning. The Tigers' bats cooled off after that first inning and the Twins tried to creep back into the contest. But Oller kept wiggling his way out of jams, while also getting some help from his defense. Oller allowed three straig

MANILA, Philippines — Matty Erolon showed guts and scored a three-pointer in the last 30 seconds of the match to give Adamson University the advantage and allow his team to escape with a 63-60 win against De La Salle University in the last game of the first round of the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym. Tied at 58-all with two minutes remaining on the clock, Erolon, who missed a two-point jump shot at the 1:36 mark, Adamson played hard-nosed defense to force La Salle to commit a shot clock violation. Erolon quickly made up for the missed basket and scored a three-pointer in the last 30 seconds of the game, 61-58. The Falcons took advantage of the Archers’ penalty situation, allowing them to improve to a 4-3 win-loss record, while La Salle fell to 3-4. Erolon finished with 14 points, while Monty Montebon added 11 markers. La Salle was led by Jacob Cortez and Henry Agunanne, who both chipped in 12 points each.
