Hanwha is a really strong team. However, the No. 1 spot is not that easy. The leader of the semi-game series. Confidence of 6.5 billion FA as a pinch-hitter. I'll prepare better.

If the main game is excluded from the selection, he will return as a scary pinch hitter in the second half of the game.

LG Twins' Park Dong-won became the number one contributor to protecting the team's No. 1 spot with that scary pinch hitter.

Park Dong-won was excluded from the selection at the home game against SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 12th, but he came out as a substitute at an important moment and saved the team.

Park Dong-won was also out of the starting lineup on the 11th, the previous day. I gave him a break because his ankle was not good. Park Dong-won, who played as a pinch hitter but did not play defense, is in good condition and can play in the second half.

LG created several chances from the beginning, but failed to catch them with certainty. In the bottom of the first inning, he got a chance to get the first run with no outs and runners on the first and third bases, but Moon Bo-kyung's sacrifice fly only scored the first run, and in the bottom of the second inning, Koo Bon-hyuk played a ball that hit his body, but pinch runner Song Chan-ui failed to steal the second base. LG, which failed to score a point with a bases-loaded chance with two outs at the bottom of the third inning, only gained one point due to Lee Young-bin's double play with no outs and runners on the first and third bases at the bottom of the fourth inning, when the team was trailing 1-3.

In the bottom of the fifth inning with frustrating attacks continuing, LG made a turnaround with a pinch-hit operation.

After Moon Sung-joo's left-handed hit at second and third bases with two outs tied the score at 3-3, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop put up Park Dong-won as a pinch hitter at Song Chan's at-bat. This is what we saw as the final destination.

And Park Dong-won strongly hit Park Si-hoo's 147km-long drive to the center at the ball count 1B1S, hitting a superior double that Han Yu-seom could not catch. Two runners came in and turned the game around 5-3. Soon after, shortstop Park Sung-han made a mistake on Lee Joo-heon's ball, and Park Dong-won homered and widened the gap to 6-3.

In an instant, the trend changed toward LG, and LG scored an additional point with Lee Young-bin's timely hit in the bottom of the seventh inning and Moon Bo-kyung's RBI groundout in the bottom of the eighth inning to win 8-6 to maintain a half-game lead over the second-place Hanwha Eagles.

Park Dong-won became a catcher after the pinch hit and helped keep the victory with the pitchers.

After the game, Park Dong-won said, `It was thrilling enough to hit a come-from-behind hit with a pinch-hitter, but I think our pitchers threw harder, so we were able to finish well. I'm grateful to our pitchers," he said, adding that he meant a lot to the pitchers' protection.

As for the reverse hit, "I've been preparing for the pinch-hitter."At some point, it seemed to be a little passive, so I thought I should hit it a little rough this time because it didn't seem to fit the baseball I thought." I went out with one confidence, but I think it came out good."

`I'm not feeling well, but I'm in good shape,' smiling Park focused on the weekend's No. 1 match against Hanwha.

"Hanwha is really a strong team. Last year, we went to the 2nd place and came down, but I don't think it's that easy"It's a strong team, but we'll prepare better and show you a good game."is determined.

Park Dong-won, who has a batting average of 294 (57 hits in 194 at-bats) with 13 home runs and 39 RBIs in 64 games this season, is recording a record that he can aim for the Golden Glove this season. Competition is likely to be fierce as Yang Eui-ji of the Doosan Bears is performing well with a batting average of 311, 11 homers and 42 RBIs.

However, Park Dong-won said, `First of all, our victory comes first. Since there is only a half-game difference right now, we need to do better so that the second-place team can't catch up. That's all I think about now."
