What happened in the bottom of the 6th inning...
KT Wiz swept two exhibition games against the LG Twins. It was even more thrilling because it was a come-from-behind victory after giving one point in two consecutive games.
In the second game of the exhibition game against LG at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 9th, KT made a come-from-behind victory of 9-4 by scoring seven runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. KT, which had a 5-1 come-from-behind victory in the opening game of the exhibition game a day earlier, will be able to prepare for the 2025 season in a good mood by winning for two consecutive days against LG, which suffered a semi-playoff loss to them last year.
The beginning of the game was completely LG-like. Ahead of this season, left-hander Oh Won-seok, who left SSG Landers in KT's arms, played his first official game, and he showed extreme control difficulties in the first inning, perhaps because of his nervousness.

LG scored four runs in the first inning against the shaky Oh Won-seok. Starting with leader Hong Chang-ki's straight walk, he tied three walks and three hits to increase the score. When Oh Won-seok was shaken to the first and second bases with no outs after a walk by Hong Chang-ki and a hit by Park Hae-min, he failed to throw the first pitch to Austin No. 3 in time and dedicated 1B due to a pitch clock violation.
When the runners gathered, No. 4 Moon Bo-kyung and No. 8 Moon Jung-bin each hit a two-run timely hit.
Until the fifth inning, the game was a 0 march. Oh Won-seok was unstable in control in the second and third innings, but he struck out five and finished two innings without losing a point. LG took charge of four innings with starter Son Joo-young's perfect control compared to Oh Won-seok. He gave up only two walks without a hit, struck out three, and pitched a scoreless battle.

However, the game completely fluctuated in the bottom of the sixth inning. Following Son Joo-young, Choi Chae-heung pitched a stable pitch in the fifth inning, and Lee Ji-gang began to collapse in the sixth inning. Leader Kim Sang-soo hit KT's first hit on the day. Rojas made a timely hit to score the first point of the day in a chance with one out and third base that led to a wild pitch.

LG lowered Lee Ji-gang like in the regular season and put in Woo Kang-hoon. However, Woo Kang-hoon, who he believed, was shaken by his poor control, walked Huh Kyung-min and allowed an RBI timely hit to Kim Min-hyuk. On top of that, pinch hitter Chun Sung-ho was sent out with a dune, and shortstop Lee Young-bin missed Yoon Joon-hyuk's double play ball, giving up one more point, and the game flowed into the fog.
LG tried to put out the fire by putting Kim Yoo-young on the mound instead of Woo Kang-hoon, who was shaken, but Jang Jin-hyuk's two-run timely double and Yoon Jun-hyuk's infield grounder RBI came out. And Kim Yoo-young's wild pitch even third baseman Jang Jin-hyuk homered and completed seven runs in an inning.

A chaotic inning that passed like crazy what really happened. Already, the atmosphere of the game has been tilted toward KT. LG, who used a lot of pitchers, tried to drag the bottom of the seventh inning as much as possible with Heo Jun-hyuk, who took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning, but Heo Jun-hyuk also gave Jang Jin-hyuk an additional timely hit, so he couldn't hold on any longer. Sung Dong-hyun came up, but Kang Baek-ho hit an RBI infield hit and gave an additional run.
KT was anxious about Oh Won-seok, but Choi Dong-hwan, Woo Kyu-min, Soju, Kim Min-soo, Son Dong-hyun, and Park Young-hyun, who took the mound later, threw completely without losing a point, preventing LG's batters.

KT's Jang Jin-hyuk, who predicted his performance as the '4th outfielder', scored 2 hits and 3 RBIs, and was clearly impressed by head coach Lee Kang-chul. LG comforted No. 8 Moon Jung-bin with two hits and two RBIs. In addition, bullpen pitcher Kim Kang-ryul, who newly joined the FA contract, took the mound in the eighth inning. However, although rookie left fielder Park Kwan-woo missed a hit that could be a fly to left field against Hwang Jae-gyun, Hwang Jae-gyun, who hit a double, died sideways at third base and allowed no runs in the first inning.
Meanwhile, even though it was an exhibition game, as many as 14,057 spectators came to KT Wiz Park to enjoy baseball. KT will play two consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes at home from the 10th, and LG will leave for Busan to continue the game against the Lotte Giants.
