When Shin Min-jae, who played leadoff, took out all the camp of the opponent's starting pitcher, Austin hit a 140m long-range gun, bringing the early atmosphere toward LG.
LG and Hanwha are fiercely competing with each other for the No. 1 spot. Following leadoff Shin Min-jae's incredible contact that made Hanwha starting pitcher Um Sang-baek sick from the first inning, Austin hit a home run without missing a miss in the count. The game between LG, which tries to widen the gap, and Hanwha, which seeks to reclaim the top spot, was decided in the first inning.
LG leadoff Shin Min-jae played a persistent game from the first inning against Hanwha Eom Sang-baek, who took the mound as the first starting pitcher in the second half of the year. Shin Min-jae, who took the leadoff, made the opposing starting pitcher get tired of his first at-bat.
Shin Min-jae, who hit after the 14th pitch, smiled as he celebrated for the dugout. On the contrary, Um Sang-baek, who threw the number of pitches to throw in one inning to the first batter in the first inning, sweated.

Austin, who entered the batter's box with one out, turned the bat confidently on Um Sang-baek's first-pitch changeup, second-pitch fastball, and third-pitch fastball. The results were all fouls, but it was a confident swing that felt like a shot would explode if caught.
When Um Sang-baek's fourth 134km changeup came into the middle in the 0B 2S unfavorable count, Austin, who was at the plate, did not miss a real pitch.
Austin turned the bat confidently four times in a row. The ball that was properly caught in the center of the bat disappeared over the left fence of Jamsil Stadium in an instant as soon as it was hit. Austin, who hit a large two-run shot with a flying distance of 140 meters, watched the home run ball to the end immediately after the hit, and even showed off the bat flip.
