SSG won 5-1 in the second game of a doubleheader against the KIA Tigers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th. SSG, which won 8-4 in the first game of the doubleheader, swept both games of the doubleheader, winning two consecutive games after three consecutive losses. The season record was 18 wins, 1 draw and 20 losses. SSG's doubleheader sweep victory came in 1,463 days since the match against Incheon Kiwoom Heroes on May 9, 2021.
SSG made the starting lineup in the order of Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Park Sung-han (striker), Choi Jung (designated hitter), Ryan McBroom (right wing), Ko Myung-jun (first baseman), Kim Chan-hyung (second baseman), Kim Soo-yoon (third baseman), Shin Bum-soo (capture), and Chae Hyun-woo (left wing).
SSG, which was dragged 0-1 when starting pitcher Kim Kwang-hyun hit a home run by Kim Do-young, turned the tables in the bottom of the sixth inning. Leadoff hitter Chae Hyun-woo hit a triple and balanced 1-1 with Jihoon Choi's sacrifice fly. Park Sung-han's hit, Choi Jeong's walk, and McBroom's hit made the bases full, and Choi Jun-woo's timely hit followed by a walk from Han Yu-sum's at-bat. Since then, walks have continued on the KIA mound, and pushbacks have continued. In the end, SSG came with a flow, scoring five points in the sixth inning alone.
Kim Kwang-hyun did not lose a run except for Kim Do-young's home run and kept the mound until the seventh inning. Since then, Lee Ro-woon (1 scoreless inning) and Kim Gun-woo (1 scoreless inning) have come up one after another to protect the victory.

Manager Lee continued "In the batting line, Hyun-woo's triple in the bottom of the sixth inning pierced the blood of the attack. With that momentum, he was able to make five big innings. It was a hit and base running that changed the course of the game"I would like to say that all of the team worked hard preparing for the doubleheader, especially to the players who played in both games" he said.
On this day, SSG set a meaningful audience record. In the first and second games, 23,000 seats were sold out, marking the sixth full attendance of the season. It is the first doubleheader sold out by an Incheon-based club. In addition, it has sold out for three consecutive games following the 10th. This is the first record in 15 years since the three consecutive weekend games against Doosan Bears held from May 14 (Fri) to 16 (Sun), 2010.
Manager Lee said, "The fans were able to win both games with the power of a full crowd for the second consecutive game. Thank you to the fans."
