The LG Twins escaped from a three-game losing streak. The season's showdown with KT Wiz ended early with 9 wins and 7 losses.

LG won the last showdown of the season against KT at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 30th, 11-7, thanks to consecutive home runs by Moon Bo-kyung and Oh Ji-hwan in the fourth inning and six big innings in the sixth inning.

The two teams have already played three consecutive games in Jamsil on weekdays. So far, it was a regular programming game, and from this day on, the schedule of additional programming was carried out, and coincidentally, Suwon games, which had not been played one game, were held one after another. It has become a four-game series between the two teams.

LG, which won the first game in Jamsil, suffered consecutive come-from-behind defeats in the second and third games. If he had lost even the last game, he would have lost three consecutive games and finished 8 wins and 8 losses against KT in the season. However, he won and took his last pride in the full dominance of the season.

In the beginning of the game, KT was in the mood. After a pleasant two-game winning streak, he returned home. He steadily scored from the first inning. Jang Sung-woo and Moon Sang-chul easily scored two runs with consecutive sacrifice flies on consecutive hits by Rojas and Kim Min-hyuk's table setters as soon as the game began.

However, LG tied the game in the fourth inning as if it could not lose. In fact, the atmosphere was bad because KT starter Um Sang-baek's ball was very good that day. LG hitters were helpless until the top of the fourth inning with two outs due to falling changeups.

However, Den, who changes the mood, is also a home run. With no runners on with two outs, No. 4 hitter Moon Bo-kyung hit a large home run that hit the back screen directly. LG, which gained momentum, balanced the game with consecutive hitters' home runs over the center fence by Oh Ji-hwan, who appeared next, hitting Um Sang-baek's change-up.

The game was 2-2 until the fifth inning. In the top of the sixth inning, the atmosphere of the game was transferred to LG in an instant. LG's three players, Oh Ji-hwan, Park Dong-won, and Kim Hyun-soo, hit Um Sang-baek in a row and drew a double following a hit by leadoff Moon Bo-kyung. Choi Won-young's failed sacrifice bunt and Kim Bum-seok's outfield fly seemed to dampen the mood, but Hong Chang-ki's timely RBI hit rekindled the fire. In addition, Koo Bon-hyuk's hit and Austin's two-run double were added to complete the six-run big inning.

Perhaps because he could not forget the pain of the collapse in the second half of the game for two consecutive days, the winning process was not easy. He allowed a two-run home run to Moon Sang-chul in the sixth inning. And in the seventh and eighth innings, he was hit by Rojas and Oh Yoon-seok as a solo shot to chase. KT followed 6-8.

However, LG sealed the victory in the top of the ninth inning. KT Moon Yong-ik, who was throwing well, shook and took a full base chance with no outs, where Park Dong-won hit a timely two-run hit. Park Hae-min, who had recently been excluded from the starting lineup due to his poor batting sense, helped him win with a sacrifice fly RBI.

From LG's point of view, closer Yoo Young-chan almost played three consecutive games, but the fact that Yoo Young-chan did not overdo it by widening the gap was also an income. In the ninth inning of the five-point gap, Lee Jong-joon took the mound and defended the victory. Still, second baseman Koo Bon-hyuk's mistake gave him a score that he didn't have to give and caused tension until the end, which is something to reflect on.

LG starter N.S. won the embarrassing victory by allowing five runs in seven innings. He won 11 games in this season. However, it was meaningful that he lasted seven innings at a time when it was difficult to operate the team due to the consumption of the bullpen during the week.

KT starter Um Sang-baek tried to win 12 games, his personal best in a season, but he collapsed due to two home runs and allowing a slugging in the sixth inning.

Meanwhile, Oh Ji-hwan stepped home during Park Hae-min's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, becoming the main player of the 23rd time ever with 1,000 points.
