The LG Twins firmly maintained their first place by winning the Winning Series against SSG Landers.
In an away game against SSG Landers held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th, LG won the game 9-3 with the concentration of its batters, including Austin and Moon Bo-kyung's consecutive batter home runs, and took the winning series with a 2-1 victory.
LG, which recorded 33 wins, 1 draw, and 18 losses, will maintain its No. 1 ranking and play three consecutive games against the Hanwha Eagles during the week.
SSG, which is in a fierce battle for fourth place with NC Dinos, KT Wiz, Samsung Lions, and KIA Tigers, returned with a 50% winning rate of 25 wins, 1 draw and 25 losses.
SSG consisted of Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Jung Joon-jae (second baseman), Park Sung-han (striker), Ko Myung-jun (first baseman), Han Yu-sum (designated hitter), Lee Ji-young (possession), Ahn Sang-hyun (third baseman), Chae Hyun-woo (left fielder), and Oh Tae-gon (right fielder). Choi Jung, the center hitter who had a good hit by hitting a double and a solo shot the previous day, was excluded from the start due to his poor hamstring.
LG Electronics will consist of Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Shin Min-jae (center fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Lee Young-bin (second baseman), and Lee Ju-heon (catcher). Park Hae-min, who had been in the center field, tested his potential as a center fielder by excluding Shin from the starting lineup as a rest.
In the beginning, it was a pitching match between starters and Jeon Young-joon, a substitute starter for SSG, defended LG batters well.
Jeon Young-joon is a right-hander who graduated from Daegu High School and joined 82nd in the second ninth round of 2022. The pitcher, who pitched only five innings in four games in the first team, is hardly known. Although the ball is not fast, the maximum speed of the fastball is about 143km, he can use various pitches such as fork balls, curves, and sliders, and has good extension and vertical movement, so he started the game with good pitching and command. He also joined Sangmu at the same age as Song Seung-ki, LG's starter.

LG had a chance to get the first run with two outs and a full base with hits by Lee Joo-heon and Shin Min-jae Austin in the top of the third inning, but Moon Bo-kyung's fly to center field unfortunately gave it no goal.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Jung Joon-jae and Han Yoo-som got a walk and got a chance with two outs and runners on first and second, but Lee Ji-young struck out a rookie looking at the ball stuck in the low outside corner.
The march of zero broke at the beginning of the fifth inning. Lee Young-bin, the leader, lived to die. He hit a foul fly on the third base side, and third baseman Ahn Sang-hyun missed it, and soon after, he hit a superior double to create a chance for second base with no outs.
However, Lee Young-bin, who had a big lead when Lee Joo-heon tried to make a sacrifice bunt but failed to reach it, tagged out by catcher Lee Ji-young's throw to second base.
Lee Joo-heon made another chance with a double to the right-center.
And that's all for SSG starter Jeon Young-joon's pitching. Han Du-sol came up to prevent the crisis.
Moon Sung-joo stepped down with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and hit third base with two outs. Shin Min-jae's shallow left ball became a lucky hit to fall in front of the sprinting left field, and LG scored the first run. Austin and Moon Bo-kyung drew consecutive walks to load the bases with two outs, and Kim Hyun-soo hit a two-run single in left-center to make it 3-0. Park Hae-min, who started the defense in the bottom of the fourth inning instead of Oh Ji-hwan, drew a walk and loaded the bases again, and shortstop Park Sung-han missed Koo Bon-hyuk's hit and scored one point to make it 4-0. Jeon Young-joon pitched well in four ⅓ innings with five hits, one walk, three strikeouts, and one run, but unfortunately lost the game.

He allowed four hits, three walks and nine strikeouts in six ⅔ innings, marking his fifth win (three losses) of the season. The ERA was also lowered from 3.20 to 2.83, impressing him as a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year.
LG, who scored one more point in the top of the eighth inning with Lee Joo-heon's solo shot to the left, scored two more points in the top of the ninth inning to spread to 9-0.
LG's rookie pitcher Kim Jong-woon took his first mound in the bottom of the ninth inning. He struck out Choi Jun-woo, the first batter, but Shin Bum-soo hit the right pole with a solo shot. Ahn tried to induce Ahn to hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop, but he made an error by catching the ball at the first base with one out and one out. He caught Hong Dae-in, a pinch hitter, with a fly ball to the shortstop, and made two outs, but Oh Tae-gon hit a two-run shot. Still, he struck out Jihoon Choi and finished the game.
