LG Twins escaped a three-game losing streak against KT Wiz and maintained their third place.
LG won 11-7 against KT in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League match held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 30th.
LG, which won the first game of the four-game series against KT and then lost the next two games, finished this schedule with 2 wins and 2 losses with this win. They also finished the season with a 9-7 advantage in their head-to-head record.
LG maintained its third place with 65 wins, 2 draws, and 57 losses. It closed in on second place Samsung Lions (69 wins, 2 draws, 54 losses), who did not have a game that day, by 3.5 games, and widened the gap with fourth place Doosan Bears (64 wins, 2 draws, 61 losses) by 2.5 games.
On the other hand, KT, whose two-game winning streak was snapped, now has a season record of 61 wins, 2 draws, and 63 losses (5th place). The gap with 6th place SSG Landers (59 wins, 1 draw, and 64 losses), which did not have a game that day, narrowed to 1.5 games.
LG’s Park Dong-won, who hit the winning RBI single, was the main contributor to the team’s victory, going 4-for-5 with 4 RBIs and 1 run.
Also, the main batting order, including Austin Dean (2 hits in 5 at-bats, 2 RBIs), Moon Bo-kyung (3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, 3 runs), Oh Ji-hwan (3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, 3 runs), and Kim Hyun-soo (2 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, 1 run), showed consistent performances.
Ji-Hwan Oh, who added 3 points, became the 23rd player to reach 1,000 points in the KBO League.
LG starting pitcher Dietrick Enns faltered in 7 innings, allowing 9 hits (2 home runs), 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, and 5 runs, but earned his 11th win (6 losses) of the season with the help of the batting lineup.
On the other hand, KT starter Eom Sang-baek was hit hard, allowing 11 hits (2 home runs), 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, and 8 runs in 5⅔ innings, suffering his 10th loss (11 wins) of the season.
In the batting lineup, there were three home runs by Moon Sang-cheol (2 runs in the 6th inning), Mel Rojas Jr. (1 run in the 7th inning), and Oh Yoon-seok (1 run in the 8th inning), but it was not enough to turn the game around.
LG gave up two runs first in the first inning with two sacrifice flies as Ens was shaken.
Then, in the top of the 4th, they counterattacked with a home run. With 2 outs, Moon Bo-kyung hit a solo home run over the center field fence, and then Oh Ji-hwan hit back-to-back home runs to tie the game.
In the top of the 6th inning, when the score was tied 2-2, they succeeded in scoring a lot of runs. With runners on 2nd and 3rd base and no outs thanks to Moon Bo-kyung’s hit and Oh Ji-hwan’s double, Park Dong-won hit a double to left field to turn the score around to 4-2. In the following chance, Kim Hyun-soo’s double added another run.
LG added a two-run double by Hong Chang-ki and a two-run double by Austin to make the score 8-2.
KT’s ability to reverse the situation for two consecutive days was also impressive. LG gave up home runs to Moon Sang-cheol in the 6th inning and Rojas in the 7th inning, and fell behind 8-5. In the 8th inning, relief pitcher Ham Deok-ju gave up a solo home run to Oh Yoon-seok, and fell behind 8-6.
However, they got through it without giving up any additional runs, and in the top of the 9th inning, they added 3 runs, including a 2-RBI hit by Park Dong-won, to seal the victory.
Although they gave up a run in the last defense in the bottom of the 9th, it did not affect the momentum.
