LG won the exhibition game against the NC Dinos 3-0 in Jamsil on the 17th. LG won four games and lost five games, and won two games and lost six games.
The biggest achievement was that Hernandez became a winning pitcher with two hits and no runs in five ⅔ innings, raising expectations for the regular season.
Lee Ho-joon, who moved from LG's head coach to NC's new coach last year, will meet LG for the first time. Even if it was an exhibition game, it drew attention because it was the first match between coach Yeom Kyung-yeop and coach Lee Ho-joon.
On the same day, LG's starting lineup consisted of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Song Chan-ui (left wing), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Park Dong-won (catcher), and Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman). Moon Sung-joo, who has not played in Okinawa practice and exhibition games due to thigh pain, joined the first team and will play as a pinch hitter on the day. Jang Hyun-sik, who suffered an ankle injury, also joined the first team on the same day.
NC made the lineup with Park Min-woo (2nd baseman), Kim Joo-won (2nd baseman), Son Ah-seop (right fielder), Davison (1st baseman), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Kim Hwi-jip (3rd baseman), Kim Hyung-joon (possession), and Kim Sung-wook (middle fielder).
LG's Elijah Hernandez and NC's Kim Tae-kyung will start.
LG, who had no outs in the bottom of the second inning, no outs in the bottom of the third inning, and no outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, created a chance by getting on base, but failed to score, drew three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning with the opponent's error on his back.
Leading the way, Koo Bon-hyuk made an infield hit to shortstop and Hong Chang-ki's walk created a chance for the first and second bases with no outs. Moon Sung-joo appeared for the first time in this exhibition game, but struck out. At the 3rd Austin at-bat, a double steal made it 2nd and 3rd base with one out, and Austin's hit became a second baseman's error, and both players homered to make it 2-0. Moon Bo-kyung walked and made a mistake in the shortstop's throw attempt to double play when Oh Ji-hwan grounded out in front of the second base, with one out and runners on the first and second bases, and second base runner Choi Seung-min homered to make it 3-0.

Following Hernandez, Lee Woo-chan (no hit in ⅓ innings) and Kim Jin-sung (no hit in one inning) threw the ball in front of the home fan on the Jamsil mound for the first time in the top of the eighth inning. Kim Young-woo, who was on the verge of first and second bases with no outs with two walks, caught No. 9 Chun Jae-hwan with a double play in front of third baseman. With two outs and runners on second base, Seo Ho-cheol was caught with a fly to left field and blocked without allowing a run to take the hold.
At the top of the ninth inning, Kim Kang-ryul, who came as an FA, stepped up. He gave up a right-handed hit to the front-runner Do Tae-hoon, struck out Park Si-won swinging, and was on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases with a pitch hit by Davidson. Oh Young-soo was struck out swinging and two outs. However, Kwon Hee-dong shook his control and allowed a walk, loading the bases with two outs.
He finished the game by catching Han Jae-hwan with a ground ball in front of the second base. He came to LG and made his first save.
For LG, Moon Sung-joo, who was unable to appear in practice and exhibition games due to thigh muscle pain, went into practice for the first time. As a pinch hitter for Kim Hyun-soo in the fifth inning, Moon struck out and walked.
NC starter Kim Tae-kyung also made a good impression on Lee as a starting resource. He allowed three hits, two walks, and two strikeouts in three ⅔ innings. In the bottom of the second inning, he was in a big crisis with two hits and one walk, but it was impressive that Park Hae-min and Park Dong-won and Koo Bon-hyuk were hit one after another and blocked without losing a point. He threw a total of 72 balls, showing stability by throwing 36 fastballs with a maximum speed of 141km, 14 fork balls, 13 curves, and 9 sliders.
Since then, Kim Min-gyu, Lim Jung-ho, Kim Tae-hyun, Choi Woo-seok, Han Jae-seung and others have thrown, and in the eighth inning, the new team's closer Ryu Jin-wook came up and stopped one inning.
At the top of the third inning, Park Min-woo was replaced by Hernandez's 138km cutter and taken to the hospital for examination. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. At the bottom of the fourth inning, Kim Tae-kyung pitched without Park Hae-min being ready to hit during Park Hae-min's at-bat, which led to a bench clearance.
