‘Defending champion’ LG secured 3rd place in the regular season and advanced directly to the wildcard playoffs.

LG won 14-5 in a away game against SSG held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 24th, focusing on 16 hits including two home runs by Park Dong-won. LG, with a record of 74 wins, 65 losses, and 2 draws, secured 3rd place in the regular season regardless of the results of the remaining 3 games.

LG, which won the Korean Series for the first time in 29 years by finishing first in the regular season last year, will defend its title this year starting with the best-of-five playoff series. LG will compete for a spot in the playoffs with the winner of the wild card match.

LG scored two points first in the first inning when SSG shortstop Park Sung-han threw to second base after catching Moon Sung-joo’s double play hit with one out and bases loaded, which was made possible by two walks and an infield hit. In the second inning, they added four points with Park Dong-won’s solo home run, Austin Dean’s RBI hit to right field, and Oh Ji-hwan’s two-RBI hit to right field, taking the early lead.

In the 4th inning, with a 6-0 lead, 7th batter Kim Hyun-soo celebrated the big win with a 3-run arch over the right-center wall. Park Dong-won hit another 3-run homer in the 6th inning, recording his 20th homer of the season. Kim Seong-jin, who came in as a pinch hitter in the top of the 9th inning, hit a 2-run homer to record his first homer of the season. All of the LG starting pitchers recorded hits that day.

On the mound, the pitching of Chan-gyu Lim, who has established himself as a native ace since last year, shined. Chan-gyu Lim, who has shown a particularly strong performance in Incheon, allowed a surprise 3-run home run to Heredia in the bottom of the 4th inning when the score was 9-0, and gave up 3 runs, but pitched 5 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts, and 3 runs, and earned his 10th win (6 losses) of the season.

On the other hand, SSG, who is in the midst of a fight for a spot in the top 5, has lost two games in a row after winning six games in a row, putting their chances of advancing to the post season in jeopardy. With this loss, SSG fell one game behind fifth-place KT.

Doosan, which shares Jamsil Stadium in Seoul with LG, also defeated NC 10-5 in the home game on this day and confirmed its postseason advancement for the second consecutive year. Doosan, in fourth place, is two games ahead of KT in the fifth inning, making it a much more likely candidate for fourth place.

Following LG, Doosan surpassed 1.3 million cumulative spectators at Jamsil Stadium this season.

KT defeated Lotte 5-1 in the Suwon home game to return to a .500 winning percentage (70 wins, 2 draws, 70 losses), and last-place Kiwoom won a comeback victory over Hanwha 5-4. Lotte and Hanwha, who lost on the same day, failed to advance to the postseason. Lotte will not advance to the fall baseball for the 7th consecutive year, and Hanwha for the 6th consecutive year.

KIA, which secured the lead early, won 7-1 against Samsung in the second place game at Gwangju. Kim Do-young, who is the first domestic player to reach 40 home runs and is only 2 home runs away from 40 home runs, did not add any more home runs, but played an active role with 2 hits, 1 RBI, and 2 runs in 4 at-bats.
