"My goal is to draw a tie."

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop could not hide his regret that he lost two games in a day. LG lost 4-12 in the first game of the doubleheader against the kt Wiz in Jamsil on the 17th, and lost 6-7 in the second game. It was considered a half success even if it had only one draw and one loss in the second game, but it seemed regrettable to give KT a one-point victory.

LG is still in first place with 29 wins and 16 losses in the season until the 17th. But there was no room. It was narrowed to one game with the second-place Hanwha Eagles and two games with the third-place Lotte Giants. The margin of victory was reduced from 15 to 13.




The second game of kt and doubleheader was more painful because LG was leading 6-1 until the fifth inning. While starting pitcher Koen Win went down after scoring one run in four ⅔ innings, the bullpen, which led to Kim Jin-sung (three runs in ⅔ innings), Baek Seung-hyun (0 innings), Park Myung-geun (one run in one ⅓ innings), Lee Woo-chan (one run in one inning), Kim Young-woo (one run in ⅓ innings), and Kim Yoo-young (1 inning), collapsed. Third baseman Moon Bo-kyung's fatal error in the eighth inning, Ham Chang-gun in the sixth inning, and Choi Won-young's baserunning in the ninth inning also calmed LG's mood.

Ahead of the match against KT in Jamsil on the 18th, Coach Yeom said, `We give the least number of walks in the game, the base run, and the error. I said at the end that the tactics are winning one point, but I can draw today (17th). Just by drawing, I get one win for the win. But it didn't work. Baseball is a difficult thing. The strategy was winning one point, but while using (Kim) Young-woo, Young-woo only gave one point, and my goal was to draw. The game itself is twisted, so I thought I just needed to not lose"He didn't hide his regret.

LG won six consecutive games before the doubleheader with kt, leaving Hanwha's 12-game winning streak behind. Thinking of keeping the first place, which was hard to recapture, makes it even more regrettable to lose the previous day.

Coach Yeom said, "(Anyway, the winning margin) plus 13 and 14 is the difference. The coach is a person who calculates the number of wins anyway, so it's important to rank. We can't help but play a disappointing game, but in the end, we have to reduce it to be a strong team. At the same time, young players are growing up. If you don't repeat your mistakes, what's gone is what's gone. "I just have to play well today (18th)."

LG made the starting lineup with Park Hae-min (center fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Song Chan-ui (right fielder), Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman), and Ham Chang-gun (left fielder). The starting pitcher is Yoni Chirinos.

Woo Kang-hoon was registered in the first team entry, and Choi Chae-heung, Bae Jae-joon and Park Kwan-woo were notified of their trip to the second team. Among Sung Dong-hyun and Park Kwan-woo, who registered as special entries for the doubleheader on the 17th, Sung Dong-hyun remained in the entry.
