In July, the LG Twins had a strange jinx. The fact that no hits came out with the bases loaded.

There were a total of 11 at-bats in the bases-loaded alone until the 23rd, but the batting average was zero with no hits in nine at-bats. He had three RBIs with two walks and an infield grounder, but he couldn't score points with a hit.

In the top of the fifth inning, when the team was trailing 0-2 against Lotte in Busan on the 2nd, it loaded the bases with two hits and a walk, but Moon Bo-kyung stepped down with a ground ball in front of the shortstop, and another bases loaded by two hits and an opponent's error in the top of the 7th when the team was trailing 0-5, but Park Dong-won only made a fly to left field. The game was defeated by two to five.




In the game against Lotte on the 3rd, there was also a chance to load the bases. He got one hit and two walks against Lotte starter Lee Min-seok, who was pitching well in the top of the third inning when he was 0-0, and loaded the bases with two outs. However, Moon Sung-joo struck out and failed to score, and the game was also lost 0-2.

In the match against Daegu Samsung on the 5th, the team loaded the bases with no outs with consecutive hits and walks in the top of the first inning, Moon Bo-kyung's infield ground ball scored the first run, and in the top of the seventh inning, when the team was trailing 3-5, Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won added two runs with consecutive pushing walks to tie the score at 5-5, but Oh Ji-hwan and Ham Chang-gun were struck out in succession by the changed pitcher right-hander Lee Seung-hyun and failed to turn the tables, and the game was also defeated 6-7.

On the 10th, the last game of the first half, Kiwoom's Park Kwan-woo's thunderous pinch-hit two-run shot made it 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning, with Park Hae-min's hit, Chun Sung-ho's hit ball, and Kim Hyun-soo's walk, making the bases loaded with two outs, but it was painful that Park Dong-won failed to score as he stepped down with a fly to left field. In the end, the runner, who got on base due to an error in the top of the ninth inning, hit home with Stone's timely hit and lost 3-4.




Coincidentally, they lost all the games that missed the opportunity to load the bases. Feels like the 'Curses of Man-ru' have arrived.

"He gave me instructions in the direction of hitting sliders in the dugout and I also thought I should hit sliders and there was a good result" explained the situation at the time.

LG exploded its firepower for the first time in a long time, hitting double-digit hits with 13 hits, 13 hits and 11 hits in three consecutive games against KIA.
