KIA secured the Winning Series with a seven-point complete victory following the overtime victory the previous day.

The KIA Tigers led by head coach Lee Bum-ho beat the NC Dinos at the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League home game held at the KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 20th, hitting nine hits including one home run, and winning the game 9-2. In the three consecutive weekend games in Gwangju, where Kia and NC, which had been running for first and second place by a gap of one game, won the first two games, widened its gap with the second-ranked NC to three games, and firmly maintained the lead position (17 wins and six losses).

Choi Won-joon, who hit a timely double that announced the start of the big inning in the fifth inning when the team was facing 1-1, became the final batter, Lee Woo-sung scored a three-run homer (his fourth of the season), and Kim Do-young also accumulated an RBI and two runs with a multi-hit third base. KIA, which had put in five must-win teams the previous day, finished the game with only three pitchers on the day. In particular, KIA's foreign ace James Nail secured his fourth victory of the season in his fifth appearance by pitching seven innings of four hits, two outs, five strikeouts and one run.

Starting with Tyrone Woods in 1998, there have been a total of eight cases in the history of the KBO League where foreign players have won the MVP award. However, if we narrow the scope down to the last 10 years from 2014 to last year, more than half of the MVPs have been created. Among them, only Erik Thames in 2015 and Mel Rojas Jr. in 2020 were fielders, while the other four were pitchers. Four out of the last 10 years means that certain foreign pitchers dominated the league.

In 2016, Dustin Nippert, a 203-centimeter-tall foreign pitcher, dominated the league in his sixth year in Korea. Having led the Doosan Bears to the Korean Series title with three wins and an ERA of 0.56 by allowing two runs in 32.1 innings in five fall baseball games in 2015, Nippert pitched in 28 games in 2016, leading Doosan to its second consecutive Korean Series win with the regular league MVP. Nippert remains the only foreign 100 wins pitcher in the KBO League to this day.

In 2019, Josh Lindblom, who entered his fifth year in Korea through the Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears, had his best season. Lindblom, who has won the No. 1 ERA and the Golden Glove in the pitching category since 2018, the first season after moving to Doosan, swept the regular league MVP, Golden Glove, and Choi Dong-won awards, ranking first in wins, winning percentage, and strikeouts with 20-3 ERA of 2.50. However, Lindblom, who was exported back to the Milwaukee Brewers in 2020, added only two wins and ended his active career in 2022.
