The LG Twins came from behind to win 2-1 with a walk-off hit by Chun Sung-ho in the bottom of the 10th inning of overtime against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 8th. With the victory, LG recorded 64 wins, 2 draws and 41 losses, expanding its win against Hanwha, which had 60 wins, 3 draws and 41 losses, to two games to secure the No. 1 position.
But just before this thrilling ending, there was a dizzying scene. A double came out with one out and a runner on second base, but the runner on second base failed to come home.
The situation was like this. After one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, No. 5 Kim Hyun-soo hit a double to the right-center after a full count match at Hanwha closer Kim Seo-hyun. He made a double at a precious moment with 2,500 hits in his career.
And pinch runner Son Yong-joon was used. No. 6 Oh Ji-hwan started with an unfavorable count of 2S and played his ninth pitch in 2B2S by persisting with fouls and balls. And he hit Kim Seo-hyun's fastball of 153km, and it flew wide to the left. Hanwha left fielder Moon Hyun-bin, who defended forward in preparation for a hit, ran all the way to near the fence, but failed to catch the ball to Majamik.
After this scene, it was expected that Son Yong-joon, a runner at second base, would play home after turning third base, but it was not. Finally, he ran to third base and stepped on it, but he couldn't come home due to the stop order from the base coach.
Son Yong-joon, who was between 2-3 bases, was late because he thought the ball was caught at the last minute and returned to 2nd base when he confirmed that the ball fell and ran back to 3rd base.

As the game did not end, the LG bench had no choice but to get cold. Son Yong-joon's expression was the same as that of the wrong student.
With runners on the second and third bases with one out, Park Dong-won automatically walked to four pitches and loaded the bases, and Chun Sung-ho's at-bat. Chun Sung-ho made me forget the situation a while ago. He hit the first pitch and hit a hit while finishing next to the second baseman.
When everyone ran to Chun Sung-ho, the main character of the walk-off hit, Oh Ji-hwan, who almost became the second baseman and the main character of the walk-off hit, followed and gave high-fives to Son Yong-joon, and Kim Hyun-soo, who was in the dugout, also ran to Son Yong-joon and hugged and ran together to rejoice in the victory.
Just like Dae-jun, who hit a double to cover the heart of a young junior who must feel sorry for the running miss??The senior who hit a double came forward. It was the senior's consideration not to be daunted by one mistake. And Chun Sung-ho, who had a walk-off hit, also made a heartwarming scene of going to Son Yong-joon and hugging him after receiving congratulations from his teammates.
Son Yong-joon is an infielder who graduated from Dongwon University of Science and Technology and joined the third round last year. He is playing for the first time in the Korean pro league this year. He has posted three hits in 15 at-bats, a batting average of .200, and an RBI and one stolen base in nine games. He is a prospect who was also named MVP of the Futures All-Star Game.
