The LG Twins won the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League SSG Landers 8-5 at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th.
It was a thrilling come-from-behind victory. Starting in the first inning, starting pitcher Casey Kelly was wavering and allowed three runs. With runners on the second base with one out in the bottom of the first inning, Kim Hyun-soo\'s timely hit made up for one run, but Kelly allowed two runs again in the top of the fifth inning, widening the gap. 토토사이트
However, LG\'s batters didn\'t miss an opportunity in the bottom of the fifth inning. The leadoff hitter Oh Ji-hwan got on base with a hit ball. After Park Dong-won struck out, Koo Bon-hyuk hit the ball, and Hong Chang-ki walked to get on base, making the bases loaded with one out. Moon Sung-joo was then at the batter\'s box.
Moon hit Oh Won-seok\'s two-pitch four-seam fastball to send a hit that hit to the right-center field. All three runners made it to the home, and Moon made it to the third base. It was a three-run triple. Then, with Kim\'s wild pitch, Moon scored a point to tie the score 5-5.
LG, which gained momentum, turned the game around with a catcher\'s fastball from an opportunity with runners on the second and third bases with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, and Park Dong-won\'s sacrifice fly RBI drove away one more run. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Kim Bum-suk hit an RBI single from a shortstop who was deflected off a pitcher at the opportunity to load the bases, sealing the game.
When meeting with reporters ahead of their showdown on Tuesday, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop praised Moon\'s critical shot. "Sungjoo threw a bases-loaded single for the first time in a long time. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have been able to bring him (Wil Seung-jo)."
When the score was 5-5, LG deployed its bullpen starting in the sixth inning. Lee Woo-chan, Kim Yoo-young, Kim Jin-sung, and Yoo Young-chan took turns to defend their team\'s victory by blocking one inning each without losing a point.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I added (Lee) Woo-chan to write the winning team only for the first time. I was going to use the chasing team if the ball gets bigger," adding, "I planned to add another player if I follow Woo-chan by 1-2 points. But I successfully turned the tables and even (Kim) Yoo-young used it all."
Meanwhile, LG lined up its lineup against SSG on Wednesday in the order of Hong Chang-ki (center fielder), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Kim Bum-suk (first baseman), Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman). The starting pitcher is Lim Chan-kyu.
Moon Bok-kyung and Park Hae-min will take a break. "Bok-kyung (Moon) is taking a break. It\'s time to get tired. (Park) Hae-min also gave him a break as his thighs were a little tight. He said it was okay to defend a little bit at the end," Yeom Kyung-yeop, the coach, said.
