Starter Connor Seabold tossed a complete game shutout as the Samsung Lions squeezed past the Kiwoom Heroes 1-0 in Seoul on Tuesday.

Seabold gave up just three singles while striking out a season-high 11 batters in a dominant performance in front of 14,421 fans at the 16,000-seat Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.

It was just the fourth complete game shutout by a starting pitcher in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) this season and the first by a Lions foreign pitcher since David Buchanan had one on May 14, 2022.

The Lions improved to 67-54-2 (wins-losses-ties), good for second place, while the Heroes dropped to 53-68, still in last place.
