The LG Twins regained their first place by winning five consecutive games due to the explosion of the 15-hit lineup even in the crisis of closer Jang Hyun-sik, on-base king Hong Chang-ki, and setup man Kim Kang-ryul.
In the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on the 14th, LG won a great victory of 12-0 with starter Song Seung-ki's six scoreless innings, four runs in the third inning and five runs in the sixth inning. LG, which has won five consecutive games, recorded 28 wins and 14 losses, beating the Hanwha Eagles (27 wins and 15 losses) who lost to Doosan on the day. It has returned to No. 1 for the first time in just 10 days since the 4th.
Hong Chang-ki's examination results came out after colliding with Kim Min-soo during defense the day before the game. Although he was concerned about a major injury, he was diagnosed with a microfracture of the outer tibia joint of his left knee. The area does not require surgery. However, due to swelling inside the joint, I plan to have a re-examination in a week. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `I couldn't sleep because I was afraid of being out of the season.' `But I think it's a relief. Even if it was a re-examination a week later, I didn't get ligament damage from myself," he said with a sigh of relief.
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki, who saw Hong Chang-ki's injury as an opposing team, also expressed his regret. Hong said, `Although Hong Chang-ki's injury is the other team's player, I hope that the players in our league will not be injured anymore.'
The starting lineup consisted of Park Hae-min (center fielder), Moon Sung-joo (left wing), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Song Chan-ui (right wing), Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman), and Lee Ju-heon (catcher). Park Hae-min replaced Hong Chang-ki as a top hitter. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop hit Park Hae-min as the first hitter. I'll think about Moon Sungjoo and Shin Minjae later"It revealed its plan to flexibly organize the batting order according to the situation.
Kiwoom consisted of Song Sung-moon (third baseman), Puig (left fielder), Cardines (right fielder), Choi Joo-hwan (first baseman), Lee Hyung-jong (designated hitter), Kim Tae-jin (second baseman), Lim Byung-wook (middle fielder), Kim Jae-hyun (poster), and Eo Jun-seo (striker). Lee Ju-hyung, who was replaced after he fell and injured his ankle while running to first base after hitting in the top of the first inning the previous day, was also excluded from the starting lineup. Coach Hong Won-ki said, `I said it was okay, but I judged that it was an injury that I had before and that it was not complete at the scene. "I excluded him from the starting lineup because he could have a poor batting balance that improved through adjustment in the Futures League."

On this day, LG's Song Seung-ki, the first starter, and Kiwoom's only foreign pitcher Kenny Rosenberg, the first starter, took the mound. Kiwoom, which has lost four games in a row, has to cut off consecutive losses on the day Rosenberg takes the mound.
But Seung-woon flowed to LG.
In the bottom of the second inning, LG got a chance to score first with one out and a full base hit by hits by Moon Bo-kyung and Kim Hyun-soo and Song Chan-ui, but Koo Bon-hyuk and Lee Joo-heon struck out consecutively and missed their first chance. However, he made a big inning with the help of Kiwoom's defense in the bottom of the third inning. Leader Park Hae-min succeeded in stealing second base following a heavy hit. He became the ninth player to steal double-digit bases for 12 consecutive years. He also stole third base after one loss.
When Austin hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop, Park Hae-min homered and 1-0. However, shortstop Eo Jun-seo's throw to the first base was one-bound, and Choi Joo-hwan, who lowered himself because he thought it was coming high due to irregular boundaries, could not catch it. Austin goes all the way to second base. Moon Bo-kyung's double on the left-field line made it 2-0.
And Moon Bo-kyung's surprise third base steal succeeded. With this steal, LG achieved a total of 5,100 steals. When Kim Hyun-soo hit a slow ground ball, pitcher Rosenberg ran and threw it to first base, but even this was high, so Moon Bo-kyung was safe. Kim Hyun-soo advanced to second base with a wild pitch, and Oh Ji-hwan hit a high outfield fly. However, center fielder Lim Byung-wook, who was trying to catch the ball, spread his arms and signaled that he missed the ball. The ball fell between Lim Byung-wook and left fielder Lee Hyung-jong, and Kim Hyun-soo, who returned to second base to tag up, ran home again to make it 4-0.
LG starter Song Seung-ki stopped Kiwoom's batters scoreless until the sixth inning, and the LG batting line burst once again as soon as Rosenberg went down in the bottom of the sixth inning.
The lead Song Chan-eui opened with a triple to the right-center, Koo Bon-hyuk got on base with a hit ball, and Song Chan-eui homered with a wild pitch by the second pitcher Yoon Hyun during Park Dong-won's at-bat. In the second base with no outs, Park Dong-won hit a normal fly ball, but the shortstop made an error that he could not catch it, making it the first and third bases with no outs. Kiwoom replaced the pitcher with Park Joo-sung, but LG did not miss this opportunity. Park Hae-min hit a timely two-run triple when he hit the right fence to make it 7-0. Park Hae-min came in when Moon Sung-joo grounded out, and after 8-0.2 outs, Moon Bo-kyung hit a double on the right-field line and Kim Hyun-soo hit an RBI heavy hit to make it 9-0. After that, he scored additional points such as one run in the seventh inning and two runs in the eighth inning, targeting Kiwoom's bullpen to the end.

Song Seung-ki threw 108 pitches in six innings, allowing four hits, two walks, five strikeouts and no runs, winning a decision against Rosenberg (5 innings, 6 hits, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts, 4 runs, 3 earned runs) and securing his third win of the season.
On this day, LG Moon Bo-kyung hit four times at bat and hit three doubles alone, while Park Hae-min, who went first instead of Hong Chang-ki, played the role of a top hitter with two hits, two RBIs, two runs, one walk and two steals in four times at bat. Kim Hyun-soo also had two hits and two RBIs in four times at bat. Song Chan-eui, who played in right field instead of Hong Chang-ki, scored three hits, one RBI, and two runs in four at-bats.
Kiwoom self-destructed by making a ridiculous mistake in defense, aside from the fact that the lineup was lethargic with five hits. Kiwoom, which has already lost five consecutive games, has lost 13 wins and 32 losses, and its winning rate has fallen to 289 percent. The gap with the ninth-ranked Doosan Bears was also 7.5 games apart.
