The LG Twins will play three consecutive weekend games against KIA by beating the Hanwha Eagles and taking care of the Winning Series with a huge explosion of the batting line that scored 17 points with 17 hits.
In the final game of the three consecutive games during the week against Hanwha at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 15th, starting pitcher Lim Chan-kyu pitched well with two runs in six ⅔ innings, and as the lineup exploded from the beginning, including two runs in the first inning and six runs in the second inning, LG won 17-3 early.
The atmosphere could have subsided by stopping at five consecutive wins after leading 5-2 the previous day and losing 5-9, but he can immediately change the atmosphere and focus on the match against KIA.
In particular, he led from the beginning, and Lim Chan-kyu did not lose his concentration and played long innings to reduce bullpen consumption and won without putting in a must-win group, allowing him to have the room to put in a must-win group against KIA.
In the top of the first inning, LG, who scored the first run with a single by Shin Min-jae and Austin's right-handed hit made by opponent starter Kim Ki-joong's check error, immediately scored one more point with Moon Bo-kyung's double to lead 2-0. In the top of the second inning, Shin Min-jae's two-run timely hit with two outs and runners on the second and third bases added two runs, followed by Austin's walk and Moon Bo-kyung's hit to the right-center, and Oh Ji-hwan's superior three-run shot exploded to lead to 8-0.
