The LG Twins 'forgot how to lose' blocked Samsung's batting line on the 15th and won with an explosive hit on the 16th. LG won a 12-2 victory at home against Samsung held in Jamsil on the 16th.
On this day, the hero of LG's victory showed off his strength by hitting two home runs in Jamsil, the largest in Park Dong-won. He started as the seventh catcher on the day and led his team to a landslide victory by scoring three hits (two home runs) and five RBIs in four at-bats, including a tie-breaking two-run shot and a wedge three-run shot.
Park Dong-won, who contributed to the victory by leading the team's no-hitter with Eliaser Hernandez, Kim Jin-sung, Park Myung-geun and Jang Hyun-sik as catchers the previous day, set the stage for victory with power heating.
In particular, the match was meaningful because the opponent's selection was Choi Won-tae. Choi Won-tae came to LG during the 2023 season and shared the joy of winning together. Last year, Choi Won-tae played well with nine wins at LG and moved to Samsung on a huge contract worth a total of 7 billion won as a FA after the season.
And for the first time on this day, LG and Choi Won-tae met.
Park Dong-won, who was with Choi Won-tae during the Heroes' time and at LG, has become the number one contributor to destroying Choi Won-tae, who has now become an enemy.
He hit a tying two-run shot in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning, trailing 0-2. Park Dong-won, who entered the batter's box after Moon Sung-joo walked to the base after 2nd, hit a 139-km slider, the fourth pitch high in 2B1S, and the ball, which flew to LineDrive Castle with a low launch angle of 18.9 degrees, did not fall off but continued to stretch and hit the stands over the fence. a 2-2 tie.
At the bottom of the fourth inning with a 3-2 lead, he led the chance with a clean hit to the middle with no outs and runners on first base, and he homered when Hong Chang-ki hit and scored.
In the bottom of the fifth inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases with a 6-2 lead, he hit a three-run shot against Samsung's second pitcher Lee Ho-sung. In 2B1S, he pulled a 146km high fastball in the middle of the fourth pitch and hit a big home run over the left-center fence. At once, it became 9-2 and the game tilted greatly toward LG.

Park Dong-won said "It's a very happy day. They gave the score in the beginning, but our players didn't give up and produced good results. Everyone did a great job. I want to say that you did a great job," he said, giving credit to his colleagues.
He couldn't deny that receiving a lot of credit from Choi Won-tae helped him hit. Park Dong-won said, `Now we are the other team, but we have a deep affection for each other. I called him on the first day and asked him to say hello, so we also talked. Still, I wouldn't have thought I'd get a home run," he said with a smile. "The ball I've received from the pitcher is a little easier to deal with than the ball I haven't received. I think I spent a long time with Wontae, which helped me meet him as an opponent."
He was out with a fly to left field with one out in the sixth inning. To be honest, he said he aimed for a home run. Park Dong-won "I wanted to hit a home run from the waiting at-bat. I tried to have the best day, but I was very disappointed because I couldn't hit a home run, but I was angry about the part where I hit the ball because I was greedy. If I hadn't hit the ball, I could have scored another RBI..."
After winning again, he already won 16 games and lost 3. When he won the championship, he was ranked first when he played 19 games in 2023, but he was 13 wins and 6 losses. Park Dong-won said, `When I talk to my colleagues, I think it's better this year than when I won in 2023. The atmosphere is much better, and everyone thinks that he's doing something better. "I once jokingly said that I could win against the New York Yankees. That's how hard we are and we are doing well," he said with a smile.
