Kia Tigers win the series

Saturday, Alli, Alex, Brian, Emily, Gabe, Neil, Ben, and I went downtown to watch the Tigers play the 7th and final game in the series after hitting up the Kimchi Festival in the morning. Going into the game, the SK Wyverns (Incheon) and the Kia Tigers (Gwangju) were both tied with 3 wins. Whoever won this game would win the series.

We met a bunch of other EPIK teachers by chance at a pizza, chicken, and beer place. It was basically a group of 40 Americans watching the game, not many other Koreans there, but that was okay. Alli, Emily, and I watched the first 4 or so innings, but it was going really slow, and at one point, we were down 5-0. We decided to go shopping since we had just been paid the day before (we got some great stuff for fall/winter!). We heard from the boys, who had stayed to watch, that the score was 5-5 in the top of the 8th, and decided to head back. In the bottom of the 9th, we got a homerun and won the series. It was pretty exciting and everyone started jumping up and down screaming.

One of the EPIK teachers student's dad is the catcher for the Tigers, and the big news was that if we won this game (it would be the Tigers 10th victory), that they would add a second level to the stadium. The stadium isn't big by any means, but then the games would be even more fun to go to. Check out the you tube link below to watch the home run. Also, I love watching/listening to the crowd, they get so into it!

  1. Hey Margaret, I think you should learn how to embed clips on your blog. It's fun and makes things look good. The embed script is always on the right side on the Youtube page and all you have to do is copy and paste into into the text box in blogger and it embeds automatically.

  2. Hm... I just tried that, but for some reason it said there was an error, maybe it didn't like the embed link??

  3. It's possible that the video might be wider than the margin of your blog and your blog doesn't like that. What you can do is use the next smallest size (480x295). The automatic for that video is 560x340.

    You can copy it yourself from youtube if you see in on the page, but I'll send it to you in a facebook message or e-mail as well.
