SEOUL, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) -- Austin Dean smoked a two-run home run, and starter Carlos Carrasco tossed six innings of one-run ball as the LG Twins edged out the Doosan Bears 4-1 to grab the wild card in the South Korean baseball postseason Wednesday.

As the fourth seed in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) regular season, the Twins only needed a tie or a win to advance to the next round. The Bears, as the fifth seed, had to win two straight games to move on, and they wasted a strong outing by starter Gwak Been, who struck out 10 over six innings.

Gwak's only blemish was Dean's dinger in the bottom of the first inning at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. The Bears eked out one run after loading the bases in the top of the seventh but stranded two runners in the eighth.

The Twins tagged on two runs in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win and set up a date with the third-seed Kia Tigers in the next postseason series, a best-of-five affair, starting Saturday in the southwestern city of Gwangju.

Carrasco scattered four hits and struck out three in his KBO postseason debut.

首尔，10 月 14 日（韩联社）——奥斯汀·迪恩击出两分本垒打，先发投手卡洛斯·卡拉斯科投出六局仅失一分的精彩表现，帮助 LG 双子队以 4-1 险胜斗山熊队，在周三的韩国棒球季后赛中夺得外卡。
