Kiwoom won 9-3 against the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 23rd.
The score itself was a complete victory, but it was not an easy game. Kiwoom scored the first run with a timely hit by Bae Sang-kwon in the bottom of the first inning, and Song Sung-moon's two-run timely hit in the bottom of the second inning took a 3-0 lead. However, he allowed three runs in the top of the sixth inning and allowed a tie in an instant. Starter Ha Young-min's requirements for a winning pitcher also flew away.
Still, Kim Hye-sung's winning shot and Song Sung-moon's wedge three-run shot continued in the bottom of the sixth inning, leading 7-3 and adding two points in the bottom of the eighth inning to seal the victory. Kim Sun-ki, who threw only two innings, became a winning pitcher somewhat shyly.
Above all, Song Sung-moon's performance, who hit three hits and five RBIs in the second inning with a timely two-run hit in the second inning and a three-run home run in the sixth inning, was outstanding. He is third in batting average (347) this season with 16 home runs and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.938, showing off his great presence compared to last year.
Song Sung-moon, who met after the game, asked about the home run "He picked the two fork balls well in front of him. I just wanted to make an inplay without being late for the fastball. It was a good hit, so I thought I'd skip it. But I skipped it a little bit," he said with a smile. "The moment of a timely hit in the second inning is more memorable than a home run," he said.

Until last year, he was in the position of an infielder with a batting average in the mid-20s. He suddenly opened his eyes at the age of 28 this year.
After hitting a monthly batting average of 348 in May, he continues to fly high at 440 in June, 342 in July, and 354 in August.
Song Sung-moon said, `Honestly, there were many times when it was a little precarious, but I kept trying to change it if it didn't work until last year, but this year I kept pushing it forward, so the up and down is not big. I feel like I'm gradually turning into clothes that suit me."
In particular, regarding good performance and frequent hero interviews this season "Lee Joo-hyung and Kim Hye-sung are in the order of my batting order, so I think opportunities come often."The boldness of laughing it off was also noticeable.
He is third in the batting average, but he doesn't have much desire to be the batting champion because Herredia and Reyes are so outstanding. Instead, there was another place he was aiming for. It is the Premier 12 national team.

Song Sung-moon said "Park Yong-taek really wanted to go because he said "I should go to the national team once." Then, he smiled broadly, saying, `Please promote yourself a lot.'
"'Say a word to Ryu Joong-il (national team) manager' ' is strong against fall baseball and clutch. He said, "I can hit home runs a lot."I want to go to the national team." I will also try 20 (homerun)-20 (stealing). I'm going to dream about it," he stressed.
