NC will play the first PO match against KT Wiz, second place in the regular league, at Suwon KT Wiz Park at 6:30 pm on the 30th.
NC, which had won four straight baseball games this fall, including the wild card game against the Doosan Bears, passed the semi-PO due to an 'upset' (rebellion of the lower seed).
NC is the second team to win all 3 of the 15 semi-POs held this year, following the Samsung Lions in 2008.
SSG, which ranked 3rd in the regular league and went straight to the semi-PO, gave up the first point to NC in 3 games and was dragged out, and ended this season by being eliminated with all 3 losses.
When SSG missed a chance with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd base on hits by Choo Shin-soo and Han Yu-seom in the top of the first inning, NC immediately scored a run after a crisis in the bottom of the first inning.
With no outs on first and second base thanks to successive hits by Son Ah-seop and Park Min-woo, Park Geon-woo broke the ice with a double play that went from third to second base.
I was lucky that I didn't become a triple murderer.
NC's 4th batter Jason Martin brought the spark back to life by sending Park Geon-woo to third base with a hit to right, and then stole second base during Kwon Hee-dong's subsequent at-bat, opening up a second scoring opportunity.
Kwon Hee-dong sent both runners home with a hit in front of right field and cheered.
Soon after, Seo Ho-cheol brought even Kwon Hee-dong home with a double to left-center.
NC, which scored 3 points in the first inning, took the lead in the game by scoring first in both games 1 to 3 of the semi-PO.
SSG also immediately counterattacked in the top of the second inning.
Back-to-back hits by Seong-Hyun Kim and Tae-Gon Oh and a walk by Shin-Soo Choo at first and second base with two outs filled the bases.
NC left-handed starting pitcher Tanner Turley, whose fastball velocity remained in the low 140 km/h range and whose slider power was low, did not have many balls to throw.
Guillermo Eridia drew a walk, allowing SSG to score one run.
SSG's 'Home Run Factory Manager' Choi Jeong-eun, who followed, pulled Tanner's weak fastball with the bases loaded and hit a come-from-behind grand slam that flew over the left fence and saved the team.
Choi Jeong-eun, who swept 4 RBIs at once, set a new record for the most RBIs in the postseason (43), surpassing Hong Seong-heun (former Doosan Bears, 42).
He also hit 13 home runs in fall baseball, trailing Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop (14), who ranked first in this category, by one.
SSG's joy of overturning the game 5-3 did not last long.
In the bottom of the second inning, NC had runners on 1st and 2nd base with one out thanks to leadoff pitcher Do Tae-hoon's body hit and Park Min-woo's walk, pulling SSG starter Oh Won-seok off the mound.
SSG right-handed veteran relief Noh Gyeong-eun came up to put out the fire, but suffered a bitter taste after being hit by Park Geon-woo with a 1-RBI left-handed hit.
NC Martin did not miss Noh Kyung-eun's first pitch slider, which came in awkwardly, and exploded the parabola of Woo Seok-seok, turning the score back to 7-5.
The game lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes until the second inning due to a fierce battle in the beginning.
SSG, who had a golden opportunity with bases loaded and 1 out in the 3rd inning thanks to NC's second pitcher Lee Jae-hak's poor ball control, was left disappointed by pinch hitter Choi Ji-hoon's double play at shortstop.
In the 4th inning, SSG hit the top of Hanyu Island's fence with 2 outs and 1st base as the 4th batter, left middle-wol 2.
The score was tied at 6-7 with a base hit.
Afterwards, no more points were scored as both teams fought with their bullpens.
After Lee Jae-hak, who was hit on the back of his right hand by SSG Oh Tae-gon's straight hit in the 5th inning, left-handed pitcher Kim Young-gyu pitched 1⅓ innings without allowing a run.
SSG foreign left-handed pitcher Kirk McCarty, who returned to the mound for the first time in a month due to pain in his right side, took the mound in the fourth inning and sent a runner to third base for two consecutive innings, but passed the baton to Ko Hyo-jun in the sixth inning without scoring a point.
The final deciding factor was SSG's attack in the top of the 7th inning.
When SSG brought out pinch hitter Choi Joo-hwan on first and second base with two outs and two walks, NC countered with left-hander Lim Jeong-ho.
SSG then replaced the right-handed hitter with Kang Jin-seong again and hoped to tie the game, but Kang Jin-seong was caught with a fly ball to right field, and their hopes for a tie disappeared.
NC closer Lee Yong-chan, who took the mound in the 9th inning, blocked three batters with a hit and sealed the victory with a thrilling one-run save.
Kim Young-gyu, who had 1 win and 2 holds as relief in three semi-PO games and had an ERA of 0, swept 37 out of 78 votes in the press vote and was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP), receiving a prize of 2 million won.
