The LG Twins poured cold water on KIA Tigers' 'Kim Do-young Festival'.
LG won a 6-5 comeback victory against KIA in the KBO League in the 2025 season held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 25th.
On this day, Kia's superstar Kim Do-young returned after recovering from his injury. KIA turned the tables and created a great festival atmosphere, with Kim Do-young appearing as a pinch hitter and even hitting a timely hit.
However, from the fourth inning, LG made a come-from-behind victory by pouring in all the must-win groups such as Kim Kang-ryul, Kim Jin-sung, Kim Young-woo, and Park Myung-geun.
KIA scored the first run in the bottom of the second inning. After one out, Han Jun-su hit a double. After Byun Woo-hyuk stepped down with a fly ball to left field, Choi Won-joon hit a timely hit to the right.
LG came from behind 3-1 in the top of the third inning. After two outs, his concentration shone. Kim Hyun-soo's double and Austin's walk attracted runners. Moon Bo-kyung exploded a sweeping double in the left-center field. Park Dong-won hit a left-handed hit and even scored Moon Bo-kyung.
KIA took the lead again in the bottom of the fourth inning. Superstar Kim Do-young's presence stood out. Kim Do-young appeared as a pinch hitter at the bat of Choi Won-jun with no outs. He swung Son Joo-young's first pitch and split it into two. Immediately, he was replaced by runner Park Jae-hyun. It took less than a minute for Kim Do-young to pick a star. Choi Hyung-woo exploded a double in left-center, and KIA took the lead 5-3.
LG fought back again in the top of the sixth inning. Austin's walk, Moon Bo-kyung's hit, and Park Dong-won's walk filled the base. Yang Hyun-jong has been replaced. Against the changed pitcher Jeon Sang-hyun, Hong Chang-ki made a sacrifice fly and Moon Sung-joo made a timely hit in the left-center to balance 5-5. Yang Hyun-jong's '180 win requirement' has been blown away.

LG turned the game around again. Oh Ji-hwan drew a walk in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and a runner on the first base to raise the spark. KIA brought out the closing pitcher Jung Hae-young here. Shin Min-jae's ball flowed to a strange place. Second baseman Kim Sun-bin managed to catch and toss his glove. But this was high. He passed the height of shortstop Park Chan-ho, who entered the second base cover. While the ball rolled to the infield, Hong Chang-ki, who was on second base, turned third base and came home.
KIA was a good batting order starting with Kim Sun-bin in the bottom of the eighth inning. However, he failed to attack LG setup man Park Myung-geun. Leading hitter Kim Sun-bin got on base with a hit in left-center. Wisdom's Choi Hyung-woo and Na Sung-beom stepped down as Bum-ta and swallowed the disappointment.
LG kept its victory by posting a finishing Jang Hyun-sik in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 6-5 lead.
