  • The SSG Landers baseball team is on a nine-game losing streak, falling to near the bottom of the league standings.
  • This follows a previous record of 13 consecutive losses earlier in the season.
  • Once second in the league in April, SSG has dropped to ninth place with a 30-3-50 win-loss-tie record.

The SSG Landers professional baseball team is grappling with a severe slump, currently enduring a nine-game losing streak that has seen them plummet to the lower ranks of the league. This recent streak, which began on June 25 against the KT Wiz and continued through July 5 against the Samsung Lions, has compounded the team's struggles.

Adding to their woes, SSG has failed to secure a victory in their last 10 games, including a tie against the KIA Tigers on July 1. This period of poor performance comes shortly after the team managed to break their own franchise record for consecutive losses, a dismal 13-game skid from May 17 to June 2. Despite a brief three-game winning streak that offered a glimmer of hope, the team soon fell into another five-game losing streak from July 13 to July 19.

Once holding a strong second-place position in the league standings at the end of April, SSG has seen a dramatic fall. They now sit in ninth place with a disappointing record of 30 wins, 3 ties, and 50 losses, holding a mere 0.375 winning percentage. The team is now facing the real possibility of finishing the season in last place, a stark contrast to their earlier performance.
