This time, I didn't let it go. I came back with a home run that I almost lost.

Lee Young-bin (22, LG Twins) had one home run stolen against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 3rd. Lee Young-bin, who took the batter's box as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning when he was losing 4-7, hit KIA closer Jung Hae-young's first pitch fastball. Caught in the back of the center fence of the ball. However, the second base umpire declared a recognition double. Because it often breaks through the fence. However, from the broadcast screen, the hit was clearly a home run behind the fence.

LG's bench's judgment was disappointing. There is no limit to the number of times a video review of a home run is done. If requested by LG, it could have been corrected to a home run, but the LG bench did not move. In the end, Lee Young-bin, who is in his first season after being discharged from the military, hit his first home run of the season.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was belatedly enraged by this fact. The next day "I couldn't sleep because I was so angry" "The second baseman just moved on because he looked close to the fence. I trusted the referee and didn't do the video review. The referee saw it himself, and who would do the video review?"

Lee Young-bin shook off his disappointment in five days. The game against Hanwha in Jamsil on the 8th, where he played as the ninth hitter and right fielder. When Hanwha's Kim Ki-joong's slider was concentrated in the middle at the first and second bases in the bottom of the third inning with a 3-0 lead, he hit it as it was and crossed the right fence. A home run hit that is nothing to worry about. It was Lee Young-bin's first home run of the season.

Lee Young-bin's bat, which caught fire once again, made a big hit once again. Lee Young-bin, who took the batter's box with runners on second base in the fourth inning, hit Han Seung-joo's fastball. The high-flying ball crossed the fence over the right post. The moment when home runs and fouls were ambiguous. First of all, the referee's judgment was a foul.

This time, director Yeom Kyung-yeop immediately started to read the video. The reading continued for a long time, and it was corrected to a home run. Lee Young-bin will record his second consecutive homer of the season and his first consecutive at-bats since his debut.

At the same time, LG began to solidify its victory early with an 11-2 run.
