![Samsung Lions starter Baek Jung-hyun pitches against the Kiwoom Heroes in a game at Gocheok Sky Dome in western Seoul on Tuesday. Baek came within five outs of pitching the first perfect game in KBO history, allowing his first runner on base with one out in the eighth inning. Wilmer Font, formerly of the SSG Landers, pitched nine perfect innings against the NC Dinos in April last year, but the game went to extra innings so the perfect game record remains unclaimed.
