The LG Twins won with four big balls of home runs and reduced the magic number to eight at a time when the starting pitcher was forced to leave the mound due to the suspension of rain in 1 hour and 47 minutes.
In an away game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 16th, LG stopped 1 hour and 47 minutes due to strong rain in the bottom of the third inning, but managed to shake off KT's persistent pursuit with four home runs, including Austin's first solo shot in the first inning, the closing solo shot in the ninth inning, and Park Dong-won and Oh Ji-hwan's three-run shot.
LG, which won two consecutive games, recorded 81 wins, 3 draws, and 50 losses, maintaining a three-game win over the second-place Hanwha Eagles (78 wins, 3 draws, 53 losses). LG, which has now secured second place even if it loses all of the remaining games, has also reduced its magic number to eight.
LG played in the game with the lineup it made for the first time this season. It was composed of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Austin (1st baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (3rd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Koo Bon-hyuk (left wing), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). Koo Bon-hyuk, an all-weather infielder, started in left field for the first time since his debut. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop decided to play Koo Bon-hyuk, who has the highest batting average among LG's main players with a batting average of 368 since July.
It was a match between KT Emmanuel de Heysus and LG Son Joo-young's left-handed ace, so it was important to score the first point and take the lead.

LG scored the first run in the top of the first inning. Austin fired a solo shot after two. In the ball count 1B, the second 123-km curve was concentrated in the center, and Austin hit it without missing it, which became a solo shot that went far over the fence in the middle. Austin's 27th home run of the season.
LG added one more run in the top of the second inning with Koo Bon-hyuk's left-handed hit on Oh Ji-hwan's double to right-center, leading 2-0.
In the bottom of the second inning, LG, who was chased 2-1 by pinch hitter Moon Sang-chul's left-handed hit with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, faced a crisis again in the bottom of the third inning. After two outs, Ahn Hyun-min stepped on the first base due to a shortstop throwing error, and Jang Sung-woo walked and became the first and second bases. While catcher Park Dong-won went to the mound and talked with Son Joo-young, the rain began to fall hard, and eventually decided to suspend the game for a while and installed a large tarpaulin in the infield. I waited about an hour, walked the tarpaulin around 8:25 and prepared to resume the game, and the game resumed at 9:03 p.m. As the game was suspended for an hour and 47 minutes, the starting pitcher was forced to be replaced. Son Joo-young allowed two hits, two walks, four strikeouts and one run in two ⅔ innings, and finished pitching due to rain,
Kim Young-woo came up as the second pitcher and struck out Hwang Jae-gyun with a swing and miss, maintaining a one-run lead of 2-1.
And I got an extra point in the top of the fourth inning. Park Dong-won's groundout in front of the shortstop made it 3-1 with the first hit by Moon Bo-kyung, Kim Hyun-soo's walk, and Oh Ji-hwan's sacrifice bunt.
Kim Young-woo, who also reached the bottom of the fourth inning, struck out Kang Hyun-woo, Stephenson and Kwon Dong-jin in turn, striking out four consecutive batters and meeting the requirements for a winning pitcher.

Kim Jin-sung took the mound in the bottom of the fifth inning and recorded a hold by allowing one hit and no run. SSG Noh Kyung-eun (30 holds), who recorded 31 holds in the season and had no appearance on the day, has risen back to the lead of the hold alone.
At the top of the sixth inning, LG seemed to decide the winner. The first-runner Kim Hyun-soo hit a double in the middle and Oh Ji-hwan recorded an infield hit to the first baseman, giving him a chance to score first and third bases with no outs. And when Park Dong-won's 123-kilometer fork ball at Son Dong-hyun's first pitch came high, he hit it as it was and turned over the left fence. A three-run shot that makes it 6-1. With this home run, Park Dong-won recorded his 20th home run of the season, becoming the 51st player to hit 20 home runs in three consecutive years.
LG secured its victory by raising Ham Deok-ju in the sixth inning and Lee Jung-yong in the seventh inning to keep KT's batters scoreless. However, he almost blew the victory in the bottom of the eighth inning. Park Myung-geun came up, and he gave up a hit ball to Ahn Hyun-min and got a hit by Hwang Jae-kyun, putting him on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases. When KT gave up Kang Baek-ho as a pinch hitter, he replaced the pitcher with Bae Jae-joon. However, Bae Jae-joon allowed a walk after a full count match, loading the bases with one out.
In the end, Yoo Young-chan was put in. Yoo Young-chan also didn't control well. He allowed a walk after a full count match with Stevenson. 6-2. And in the match against Kwon Dong-jin, he threw a wild pitch on the first pitch and allowed another point. With one out and runners on the second and third bases, Kwon Dong-jin got a hit to the right and gave up another two runs. He allowed four points in an instant, making it 6-5, one point difference. Fortunately, Yoo Young-chan struck out Lee Ho-yeon and caught Heo Kyung-min with a ground ball in front of the shortstop to keep the lead.
LG ran away again with a home run. In the top of the ninth inning, Austin, the lead, fired a solo shot to the left from KT closer Park Young-hyun. And Oh Ji-hwan's superior three-run shot burst into 10-5 in the first and second bases with no outs made by Moon Bo-kyung's walk and Hong Chang-ki's left-handed hit.

It didn't end like this. Yoo Young-chan, who also came up in the bottom of the ninth inning, hit a solo shot by player Jang Jin-hyuk, and allowed a hit to Jang Sung-woo and a walk to Hwang Jae-gyun, driving him to first and second bases with one out. In the end, Lee Ji-gang came up, struck out Kang Min-sung with a rookie strikeout, and handled Stevenson with a ground ball in front of the first base to protect the victory. Succeeded in harvesting his third save of the season.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said after the game, `Today's game was able to bring the flow of the game to our side with Austin's first home run and Koo Bon-hyuk and Park Dong-won's early RBIs. Since then, Park Dong-won, Austin, and Oh Ji-hwan's home runs have been hit in a situation where additional points are needed, and the batters' concentration has allowed them to win," he said, describing the batters' performance.
"As middle pitchers, Kim Young-woo, Kim Jin-sung, Ham Deok-ju and Lee Jung-yong defended the innings well in the middle and laid the foundation for victory, but I hope the overall reduction of walks will be further supplemented in the future."
"Austin led the lineup with two home runs, and Oh Ji-hwan also led the lineup with three hits, including a home run."Coach Yeom said, "It was a difficult game until the end, but the batters showed their concentration until the end, and Lee Ji-gang finished well to keep the victory," he praised the players for their performance.
And thanks to many fans who supported us until the end despite the bad weather, we were able to win. Thank you so much for your unwavering support," he said, thanking the fans who remained until the end of the day at the end of 12 o'clock.
