In the home game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 21st, LG won a 6-3 comeback with the concentration of its batters amid starting pitcher Son Joo-young's good pitching of three runs (two earned runs) in seven innings, and won five consecutive games after winning five consecutive games against Doosan in the second half.
On the 20th, the previous day, he signed new foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez and parted with Kelly, who played for LG for six years, and held a farewell event on the 20th, causing tears for both the team and fans. Since Kelly took the mound in his last game, everyone was motivated to win, and from the first inning to the second inning, Austin's two-run shot and Moon Bo-kyung's solo shot exploded, leading LG 6-0 until the second inning, but the game was suspended due to heavy rain in the top of the third inning, and he waited for more than an hour to prepare for the game, but it rained a lot again and was eventually declared a no-game.
There was a lot of regret as the previous game became a no-game, but the next day, Son Joo-young was able to continue his winning streak by blocking Doosan's batters well.
Son Joo-young became the winning pitcher by throwing 87 pitches in seven innings with up to 150km of fastballs and allowing six hits, 0 walks, 1 strikeout, 5 strikeouts, and 3 runs (two earned runs). In particular, it was impressive to see him gradually gaining experience as a starting pitcher by throwing seven innings for the first time since his debut. He reduced the number of pitches without giving up a walk through aggressive pitching, and as a result, he had a positive effect of throwing until the seventh inning.
LG took the lead in the bottom of the second inning when Park Dong-won fired a preemptive two-run shot, but was overturned by giving up one run each to Doosan in the third, fourth and fifth innings.
Don't do it, Park Hae-min's hit in the bottom of the fifth inning and two infield grounder to steal second base made it a 3-3 tie, and took advantage of pitcher Lee Young-ha's difficult control in the bottom of the sixth inning to turn the tables.
With one out and a bases loaded with consecutive hits by Austin and Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won's walk, Shin Min-jae drew a walk after a full count match to make it 4-3. Doosan put up Hong Gun-hee, but Park Hae-min hit an RBI heavy hit to make it 5-3, and after two outs, Hong Chang-ki added one more point with a hit ball to make it 6-3.
After Son Joo-young threw until the seventh inning, Kim Jin-sung came up in the top of the eighth inning, and the first and third base chances came to Doosan due to errors and hits after two outs, but the fourth batter Kim Jae-hwan struck out LG closer Yoo Young-chan with a swing and miss, extinguishing the chase.
On this day, Park Hae-min stole second base in the fifth inning, walked to get on base in the bottom of the eighth inning, and stole second and third bases in a row to achieve a career-high 400 steals.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `It was a stepping stone to the victory that starter Son Joo-young blocked seven innings well with aggressive pitching while increasing the strike rate at the first pitch"Park Dong-won's home run in the batting line allowed him to take the lead and flow of the game, and Shin Min-jae, Park Hae-min and Hong Chang-ki were able to win with a decisive RBI in a situation where the score was needed."
"Seungri group Kim Jin-sung and Yoo Young-chan played their roles well and managed to win.", he didn't miss out on complimenting the winning team.
On this day, 23,211 spectators visited Jamsil. Coach Yeom said, `It's a hot weather, but thanks to the passionate support from many fans for the weekend, I was able to win five consecutive games. Thank you very much."
