Hanwha Eagles narrowly won with Chae Eun-sung's dramatic two-run shot, narrowing the gap with the LG Twins to 2.5 games.
Hanwha led 4-0 in an away game against LG in Jamsil on the 28th, but unfortunately allowed a 4-4 tie due to a defensive miss, but Chae Eun-sung's two-run shot in the top of the 11th inning won 6-5.
Hanwha recorded 32 wins and 22 losses, widening the gap with the third-place Lotte Giants (30 wins, 3 draws and 22 losses), which had no game due to the cancellation of the rain, to one game and narrowing it to 2.5 games with the first-place LG.
LG formed the same starting lineup as on the previous day of Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (captor), Koo Bon-hyuk (captor), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Lee Young-bin (third baseman), and Hanwha, which put An Chi-hong, who was out due to a wrist injury, in the first team, formed the same starting lineup as the previous day.
LG Coenwin and Hanwha Cody Ponce will face off as starters on the day. I had no choice but to lean toward Ponce from my weight.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop wanted Coen Win, his last appearance, to cheer up, but Hanwha hitters gained more strength.
In the top of the first inning, Floral hit a first solo shot. He kicked a 144.8km fastball that came to the low strike zone on the body from 1B and crossed the right-center fence. Center fielder Park Hae-min ran to the end and jumped, but the ball fell far beyond Park Hae-min into the stands. Floral's Season 7 Four. Hanwha said goodbye to Coen Win for sure in the top of the third inning. With two outs and runners on second base, Ha Joo-seok's heavy hit, Moon Hyun-bin's double on the right-field line, and Noh Si-hwan's right-field hit gave him a 4-0 lead at once. While Hanwha scored four points, LG was blocked by Ponce until the third inning, so no one could step on first base.
The first hit came in the bottom of the fourth inning. However, like the second-ranked team in home runs, the first hit to Ponce was a home run. After one out, Kim Hyun-soo hit Ponce's 155.5km high fastball and hit a solo shot over the right fence. 1-4.
Soon after, Austin hit a heavy hit, and LG had hope for Ponce's attack, but Moon Bo-kyung hit a double play in front of the first baseman, and the attack ended.
LG quickly activated the bullpen by throwing only until the fourth inning and raising Lee Woo-chan from the fifth inning. Coen Win finished his last appearance in the KBO League with five hits (one homer) and four strikeouts and four runs in four innings. He threw 56 balls, throwing 29 fastballs of up to 146km, 16 fork balls of 137km, and 11 curves of 129km. While Eliaser Hernandez was out due to injury, he went 1-1 with a 7.04 ERA in five games and returned to Australia.
LG's Lee Young-bin hit another home run from Ponce in the bottom of the sixth inning. When the 3rd pitch 142.9km of change-up came up high in the middle of the 1B1S after one death, Lee Young-bin turned vigorously and hit his third home run of the season over the right-center fence.
LG tied the game in the bottom of the seventh inning as LG blocked additional runs with consecutive throws by Lee Woo-chan, Baek Seung-hyun and Kim Young-woo.

Hanwha's painful mistake eventually gave LG a chance.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, the lead Moon Bo-kyung got on base with a hit ball, followed by Park Dong-won's left-handed hit to make the first and second bases with no outs. Koo Bon-hyuk is preparing for a sacrifice bunt. After the first strike, Koo Bon-hyuk changed the position to hit the bunt while trying to hit the bunt, but when the ball came high, he watched the ball without hitting it. This is when the situation happened. First baseman Park Dong-won ran to second base, and second baseman Moon Bo-kyung, who played to third base, was returning to second base when Koo Bon-hyuk did not hit. Hanwha catcher Choi Jae-hoon threw to second base at this time, and both could be threatened.
Shortstop Ha Joo-seok, who caught the ball at second base, targeted second baseman Moon Bo-kyung, who plays at third base. He immediately threw the ball to third baseman Noh Si-hwan. At this time, Park Dong-won, who was returning to first base, ran back to second base, and Noh Si-hwan, who saw this, threw the ball to second base. It seems that he calculated that he could catch Park Dong-won first at second base and put Moon Bo-kyung back into intimidation. However, when the ball arrived, Park Dong-won already reached second base, and Moon Bo-kyung also arrived at third base and was safe when second baseman Hwang Young-mook, who caught the ball, threw it back to third base. Moon Bo-kyung was arrested and became second and third base with no outs.
However, Koo Bon-hyuk struck out swinging, and Oh Ji-hwan, who entered in place of Shin Min-jae, also struck out three pitches and became second and third base with two outs, putting the golden opportunity on the verge of disappearing. Park Hae-min saved LG with a bat, not a defense this time. The second pitch, a 153km fastball, was missed, so it went to the left. However, it became a lucky hit that both left field, shortstop, and third baseman fell where they could not catch, and both runners came in and tied 4-4.
Hanwha starter Ponce threw 96 pitches in seven innings, allowing six hits (two home runs), one out, eight strikeouts, and four runs. He recorded 105 strikeouts in the season and surpassed 100 strikeouts in 12 games, setting a tie for the least 100 strikeouts in history after Ryu Hyun-jin in 2012, but failed to become a winning pitcher by stepping down from the tie. He threw up to 157 kilometers of fastballs (46), 147 kilometers of sliders (15), 146 kilometers of changeups (11) and 136 kilometers of curves (24).

In the top of the eighth inning, Hanwha's lead Ha Joo-seok got on base with a surprise bunt hit, but when Moon Hyun-bin struck out, Ha Joo-seok failed to steal second base and failed to get a chance. LG also had a chance to turn around the first and second bases due to Austin's heavy hit and second baseman error after two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Park Dong-won stepped down with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and failed to score.
After two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Park Hae-min advanced to second base with a wild pitch following a left-handed hit, but Lee Young-bin was struck out by Hanwha closer Kim Seo-hyun and flowed into extra time.
In the 10th inning, both teams got out of the game.
In the top of the 11th inning, Hanwha's Moon Hyun-bin walked and got on base, but Noh Si-hwan struck out. It was just when Hanwha ended up with two outs and no points. Chae Eun-sung rolled up a 144.6km fastball, which is high in the middle of LG Park Myung-geun, and hit a large two-run shot with a flying distance of 123.7m over the left fence. 6-4.
LG chased again by one point with Park Dong-won's solo shot after one out in the bottom of the 11th inning, and pinch hitter Song Chan-eui walked to get on base and took the opportunity to get on first base with one out. In the end, Hanwha lowered Park Sang-won and raised Cho Dong-wook to compete with Oh Ji-hwan. However, Oh Ji-hwan hit a heavy hit, creating a chance to turn the tables on the first and second bases. Park Hae-min is out with a fly to center field and two outs. Pinch hitter Lee Joo-heon walked and went to the bases loaded with two outs. Cho Dong-wook struck out swinging in a 2S advantageous count in the match against Ham Chang-gun.
