The hit, which was good until May, has gone downhill since June. In August, he has a batting average of only 13.2 (five hits in 38 at-bats) in 11 games. But of those five hits, there were two homers and two doubles.
In particular, two homers were valuable homers that connected to victory.
In the match against the Samsung Lions in Daegu on the 2nd, Park Dong-won came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the 5th inning when he was 0-0, and fired a preemptive solo shot over the left-center fence from Samsung starter Won Tae-in.
LG won 3-2 with three solo shots, including Moon Bo-kyung's solo shot at the 1-1 tie and Oh Ji-hwan's solo shot at the 2-2 tie, winning five consecutive games and chasing No. 1 Hanwha.
And on the 15th, Park Dong-won's home run hit again against Incheon SSG Landers. This time, it's a come-from-behind home run.
When Park Dong-won came out of a chance with two outs and runners on the first and second bases in the top of the eighth inning, when the team was trailing 2-3, SSG lowered the profit it had thrown and raised Cho Byung-hyun. Cho Byung-hyun is a top closing pitcher with 5 wins, 2 losses, 23 saves and a 1.24 ERA until the previous day. In particular, the credibility was so high that Blon Save was only once.
However, Park Dong-won hit a fastball in the middle of the 148km thrown by Cho Byung-hyun in the advantageous count of 3B1S and hit an upset three-run home run slightly over the left fence with a line-drive ball like a clothesline. It was a 5-3 turnaround. It was the moment when Cho recorded his second Blon save of the season.
Since Hanwha was winning heavily against NC on the day, if it lost to SSG, it was in a situation where it lost to Hanwha, but Park Dong-won's home run could change the atmosphere again. How happy he was with the comeback fire that led the team to victory, he gave coach Yeom Kyung-yeop a hug.
Park Dong-won's 19th homer of this season. If he hits one more homer, he will hit 20 homeruns for the third consecutive year.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, LG overcame the crisis of loading the bases with two outs and a 5-3 victory to remain firmly in first place.

Coach Mo Chang-min and Coach Kim Jae-yul said a lot of good things and helped me a lot by raising the ball every day. I think I paid back a little to the coaches with a home run today. I'm always grateful for your passionate help to the players."
The reason for the sluggishness is that the opponent tried to play the game with difficulty. Park Dong-won said "Throw it to a place where it's hard for the opponent to hit." If you throw a real pitch, it's a foul.... As I played a hard ball, I hit the ball, and I think that was big"Even if you get struck out, you have to wait until a real pitch comes, but I think bad results have accumulated as I played without waiting for it."
Will this home run serve as a turning point. Park Dong-won said, `I want the ball to hit a little bit, and I think the first thing is to wait for the ball I can hit without being greedy like today.'
I was so grateful to my colleagues. Park Dong-won said "I'm not good at it, but all my colleagues are good at it. So I thought there was no big damage to the team"I'm so grateful to our colleagues."
