SSG won an 8-1 victory in an exhibition game against the LG Twins at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 16th.
It was a game that was worried about the cold weather. In the afternoon, the hot sun hit the ballpark. Fans of both teams, exposed to the sun, tried to avoid unexpected direct sunlight by putting towels around their heads.
"I'm worried because it's cold," SSG coach Lee Sung-yong said. Still, since left-handed pitchers (Son Joo-young) came out, we plan to have the main fielders hit two at-bats each." Not only the opening series against the Doosan Bears, but also the game against Lotte during the week is likely to have left-handed starters.
With Choi Jeong missing, who complained of a sore throat just before the game, SSG started the lineup of Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Park Sung-han (striker), Eredia (left wing), Ha Jae-hoon (right wing), Oh Tae-gon (designated hitter), Ko Myung-joon (first base), Kim Sung-hyun (second base), Ahn Sang-hyun (third base) and Cho Hyung-woo (catcher). The fifth starting candidate is Jung Dong-yoon.

LG played Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (designated hitter), Song Chan-ui (left wing), Moon Jung-bin (first base), Koo Bon-hyuk (third base), Lee Joo-heon (catcher) and Shin Min-jae (second base). Left-hander ace Son Joo-young started.
SSG's starter Chung Dong-yoon pitched three hits and one walk in three ⅓ innings. The number of pitches is 57.
After two outs in the top of the first inning, Oh Ji-hwan hit a double, but he stopped it without losing a point, and in the second inning, he was out with three outs. In the third inning, Lee Joo-heon, who got on base with a hit, was caught as a check and cut the flow.
After one out in the top of the fourth inning, Oh Ji-hwan's hit and Park Dong-won's walk put him on the first and second bases with one out before handing over the mound. Changed pitcher Lee Woon cut off the follow-up hit and was scoreless.
On the other hand, the reality facing LG Son Joo-young was unusual from the beginning.

However, Son Joo-young showed off her presence by striking out Park Sung-han, Eredia Ha Jae-hoon for three consecutive times. In the bottom of the second inning, he gave up a double to Ko Myung-joon and a walk to Kim Sung-hyun after one out, but he blocked well without losing a point.
He gave up the first run in the bottom of the third inning. The Jihoon Choi went out with a hit again, and stole second base again. With one out and second base, Herredia's timely hit broke out, and Herredia went back to second base while shortstop Oh Ji-hwan made a home throw error.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Cho Hyung-woo, the first batter, survived with a third baseman error, and Son Joo-young's role was over. Still, the next pitcher Lee Woo-chan overcame the crisis by double-dealing the Jihoon Choi. Earlier in the top of the fifth inning, LG balanced 1-1 with Koo Bon-hyuk's infield hit and Lee Joo-heon's RBI double against Lee Eui-woon.
However, SSG made a turning point in the top of the seventh inning by holding out with no outs and no outs. It was a source of concern for LG.
SSG Seo Jin-yong faced a chance with no outs and no outs due to Moon Jung-bin's hit, Koo Bon-hyuk and Lee Joo-heon's walk, and his wild pitch. However, LG failed to make a sacrifice hit because Shin Min-jae was out with a short fly ball to left field, and Ahn Ik-hoon's well-hit ball was hit by SSG changed pitcher Kim Min's body and became a fly ball and double play for third baseman.

Here, Choi Jun-woo makes a two-run double to the right-center, and Ha Jae-hoon makes a two-run timely hit for three??Lee effectively sealed the victory.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, SSG also took advantage of LG pitcher Sung Dong-hyun's difficulty to make a hit by Jung Joon-jae and Ahn Sang-hyun and a walk by Cho Hyung-woo to make a full base. Here, Park Ji-hwan's pushing walk, Choi Sang-min's sacrifice fly, and Ha Jae-hoon's pushing walk added three points to complete the 8-1 victory.
At the top of the ninth inning, closer Cho Byung-hyun took the mound. Cho Byung-hyun faced a run crisis after two outs, allowing a walk to Koo Bon-hyuk and a hit to Lee Joo-heon, but he finished the game by throwing out Shin Min-jae.
