Samsung Lions defeated Doosan Bears 6-5 in the bottom of 11th inning of a South Korean baseball playoff game Wednesday to reach the Korean Series championship round, Yonhap News reported.

  With two outs and bases loaded and the score tied at 5-5, Bears' shortstop Son Si-heon failed to catch a weak grounder by Lions' Park Seok-min, allowing Kim Sang-soo to score the series-clinching run. The play was credited as an infield hit, the report said.



 The Lions clawed back from an early 5-0 deficit to take the decisive Game 5 in the best-of-five series. Every game of this compelling series was decided by one run, according to the report.

   "I didn't think all of the games would be decided by a single run and I think we played well in all five," the winning manager Sun Dong-yol told Yonhap. "In the Korean Series, we want to play as well as we did in this round. We're a young team and we're feeling great."
