In the end, the base cover mistake blew the opportunity to be tied for the lead.

The LG Twins lost 5 to 6 at home against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 21st. Park Dong-won's three-run shot in the bottom of the fourth inning, trailing 1-3, succeeded in turning the game around 4-3, but gave up one point in the top of the fifth inning to allow the tie, and the additional two points in the top of the sixth inning eventually led to a disappointing defeat. After two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Moon Bo-kyung's hit chased to a one-run gap, but failed to reach a tie.

In the end, there was a lot of regret in the process of giving up two runs in the top of the sixth inning. The first baseman, who was trying to steal second base with a check ball, was intimidated, but the mistake of failing to catch it as an out count led to two runs.




At the top of the sixth inning with the score tied 4-4, LG put Son Joo-young on the mound. Son, who took a 10-day break, is scheduled to start next week, but he took the mound as a mid-game to find a sense of play before that.

It wasn't good. He got a left-handed hit by the leadoff No. 4 Kim Jae-hwan, and handled Cave 5 with a ground ball in front of the second base, but he was on the verge of 1st and 3rd base due to a heavy hit by No. 6 Lee Yoo-chan with one out.

At No. 7 Oh Myung-jin's at-bat, LG had a play to regret. In 2B1S, first baseman Lee Yoo-chan ran to steal second base, and Son Joo-young saw it and threw it to first base. He was threatened.




First baseman Austin drove Lee Yoo-chan to second base little by little and sprayed the ball to shortstop Koo Bon-hyuk who came to second base. At this time, Lee Yoo-chan turned to first base again, but there was no fielder who came to cover at first base. Austin was standing there after throwing the ball, but pitcher Son Joo-young was backing up toward the foul area in preparation for a bad pitch, not first base. Then, when there was no one on the first base, he ran toward the first base, but it was too late. Koo Bon-hyuk couldn't throw to first base, and Lee Yoo-chan returned to first base and was safe.

Austin quickly returned to first base after throwing it to Koo Bon-hyuk, or Son Joo-young should have run to first base, but both failed to do so, resulting in an empty first base.

And Lee Yoo-chan ran to second base on the fifth pitch in 2B2S and Oh Myung-jin hit it. Koo Bon-hyuk was moving to second base to catch a stolen base, and the ball came to Koo Bon-hyuk's original position, and Koo Bon-hyuk managed to catch it, but it became an infield hit, and the pinch runner Cho Soo-haeng, who was on third base, homered and turned the game around 4-5.




If he had caught Lee Yoo-chan with two outs, the game would have been played at third base, and there is no guarantee that Oh Myung-jin will hit the same ball afterwards, but assuming so, Koo Bon-hyuk could have handled it leisurely and the inning could have ended without a run. A small miss play in defense eventually led to a loss.

It wasn't the end of a point.

Lim Jong-seop appeared as a pinch hitter instead of Park Joon-soon, and the pitcher replaced Kim Jin-sung. And Lee Yoo-chan's steal of the third base and Oh Myung-jin's steal of the second base continued to reach the second and third bases with one out, and Lee Yoo-chan scored when Lim Jong-seop's infield hit to the third base, widening the gap to 4-6. Fortunately, Kim 薨? was induced to ground out in front of the second base to force out the first baseman from the second base, and Kim Min-seok was checked to prevent additional runs.

LG finally failed to narrow the gap between the two points. He made a hit and a walk in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on first and second bases, but Moon Bo-kyung stepped down with a ground ball in front of the shortstop, and the lead Moon Sung-joo got on base with a walk in the bottom of the eighth inning, but there was no follow-up hit. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Moon Bo-kyung's timely hit to the left, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, scored one point and followed it to 5-6, but Moon Sung-joo was caught with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and lost in the end.

The loss not only widened the gap between LG and Hanwha, the first-place team, but also narrowed the gap between Lotte, the third-place team, to one game.
