The LG Twins, who tried to erase the magic number, lost to the Hanwha Eagles by 2.5 games due to the shocking self-destruction of allowing 4 pitches for 7 consecutive batters and giving them 6 points for pushing.
LG lost 5-10 at Changwon NC Park on the 24th after Ham Deok-ju and Baek Seung-hyun Lee Ji-gang, who took the mound in relief with two outs and runners on the second and third bases in the bottom of the sixth inning when they were leading 5-3 in an away game against the NC Dinos, allowed as many as seven consecutive batters and gave up six runs only by pushing four pitches.
Hanwha's away game against third-place SSG, which was scheduled to be held on the same day, was canceled due to rain, and LG lost, reducing the game difference between the two to 2.5. LG exposed their anxiety by showing a vulnerable bullpen in a shocking upset loss against No. 8 NC.
NC won three consecutive games and recorded 65 wins, 6 draws and 67 losses, beating Lotte Giants (65 wins, 6 draws and 68) who lost to the Samsung Lions by half a game to move to sixth place. By narrowing the gap between the fifth-place KT Wiz and 2.5 games, we can continue our hopes for fifth place.
NC`s starting lineup consists of Kwon Hee-dong (right wing), Choi Won-joon (center fielder), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Davidson (first baseman), Lee Woo-sung (left wing), Kim Hui-jip (third baseman), Seo Ho-cheol (second baseman), Kim Hyung-joon (possession) and Kim Han-byul (striker). In the face of left-handed Song Seung-ki of LG, the NC Dinosaurs deployed eight right-handed hitters except Choi Won-joon.
LG made the best lineup with Hong Chang-ki (designated hitter), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (first baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (captor), and Park Hae-min (midfielder). It is peculiar that Moon Bo-kyung, who was the fourth batter this season, came down to No. 5 and Kim Hyun-soo came up to No. 4. Moon Bo-kyung had a poor batting average of 163 (7 hits in 43 times at bat) in September.

NC starter Koo Chang-mo and LG starter Song Seung-ki are expected to play an early pitching match. Koo Chang-mo pitched only three innings in his previous two starts, but he came out with a limit of four innings on that day. The game against LG was also highly anticipated on the day, as he had pitched well with five hits, no four outs, no six strikeouts and no runs in six innings in two games. Song Seung-ki pitched in three games against NC this season, posting a very good record of two wins, no losses, and a 1.59 ERA. He allowed only nine hits (two home runs) in 17 innings, and it was clear that it was the best starting card for LG, which has to win because he struck out 16 times.
NC scored the first run in the bottom of the second inning. The first solo shot was fired by Davison. In the ball count 1B1S, the third 117km curve flowed to the center, and Davison pulled it without missing it and crossed the left fence.
LG's batters, who were blocked by Koo Chang-mo with one hit until the second inning, immediately fought back in the top of the third inning when they gave up the score. Leader Park Dong-won immediately hit a tiebreaking solo shot. In the ball count 1S, he hit a 117km curve on the second pitch that came to the strike zone high in the middle and crossed the left-center fence. 1-1.
Park Hae-min's double on the right-field line followed Hong Chang-ki's ground ball in front of the second base, leading to a one-out and third-base opportunity, and Shin Min-jae hit a heavy hit to make a 2-1 come-from-behind victory.
NC had a chance again in the bottom of the third inning. After one hit, Kwon Hee-dong and Choi Won-joon made the first and second bases, and Park Gun-woo stepped down with a fly to center field, but Davison calmly picked out the ball after the full count and walked it to load the bases with two outs. Lee Woo-sung also had a close race to the full count, but he struck out swinging on a 131-kilometer slider in the sixth pitch.
LG had a chance for the first and second bases with consecutive hits by Moon Sung-joo and Oh Ji-hwan after one out in the top of the fourth inning, but Park Dong-won hit a double play in front of the third baseman to fail.
NC got another chance in the bottom of the fourth inning. After one loss, Seo Ho-cheol and Kim Hyung-jun made consecutive hits to make the first and second bases. And pinch hitter Kim Joo-won came out of Kim Han-byeol's at-bat. Kim Joo-won hit the first pitch and made a left-handed hit to tie the score at 20-2. Kim Joo-won, whose ankle condition is not complete, completed his task and was replaced by runner Do Tae-hoon.

A double that fell on Kwon Hee-dong's right-wing line with one out and runners on the first and second bases exploded, and second baseman Kim Hyung-joon homered and succeeded in turning the tables 3-2, followed by an additional scoring chance with one out and runners on the second and third bases.
In the end, LG had no choice but to lower Song Seung-ki. Recently, Kim Young-woo, who is in the best condition in the LG bullpen, came up to put out the fire.
Choi Won-jun stepped down with a fly to the third baseman, but Park Gun-woo walked and loaded the bases with two outs. However, Davison's 153km fastball, which came low from 2B2S, became a strike call and retreated weakly.
But at the top of the fifth inning, Koo Chang-mo came out again. Originally, he was scheduled to pitch only four innings, but he decided to throw until the 5th inning within the scheduled 75th inning due to Koo Chang-mo's request.
However, the results were not good. He allowed lead Park Hae-min to hit the middle and caught Hong Chang-ki with a fly to left field, but allowed Shin Min-jae to double to the right-center, putting him on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on second and third bases. And he threw 73 and had no choice but to go down the mound.
Shin Young-woo, who came up as the second pitcher, couldn't stop it. He threw a wild pitch in the game against Austin and gave up one point 3-3. Then, Austin hit a sacrifice fly to right field, and LG came from behind 4-3.
LG added one more point in the top of the sixth inning thanks to Shin Young-woo's poor control of the ball. Oh Ji-hwan struck out with a two-base hit on the right-wing line by the leader Moon Bo-kyung and a ground ball in front of the pitcher by Moon Sung-joo, which became a wild pitch, and Moon Bo-kyung homered to make it 5-3, two points apart. Park Dong-won then drew a walk and got one out and runners on first and second bases.
NC eventually replaced the pitcher with Kim Young-gyu. Park Hae-min struck out, but Hong Chang-ki walked and led to a chance to load the bases with two outs, but no additional points were scored as Shin Min-jae grounded out in front of the second base.
NC immediately created a chance to chase. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim Hyung-joon's hit and Choi Won-jun's double gave him a chance to get second and third bases with two outs, and Park Gun-woo drew a walk from the changed Ham Deok-ju to the bases. And Davison's at-bat.

After the full count match, Davison did not move on the outside ball, and ABS decided with a ball and walked away. 4-5, one point difference. Lee Woo-sung also continued to hit the foul and led it to a full-count match, eventually making it 5-5 with a push walk. Eventually, he was replaced by Baek Seung-hyun, who was in the first team, but the situation worsened. He allowed a walk to Kim Hui-jip and gave Seo Ho-cheol another point with a hit ball in 3B1S. Before I knew it, 5-7. Lee Ji-gang came up due to the replacement of pitchers again.
However, even Lee Ji-gang allowed a straight walk to Kim Hyung-joon, 5-8. And Do Tae-hoon allowed a ball that hit his body on the first pitch, making it 5-9.
He gave up as many as six runs with four pitches in seven consecutive hitters. Four pitches for seven consecutive hitters set a new KBO League record. Kwon Hee-dong's full count was caught by the center fielder, and the end of the long sixth inning ended.
LG's attack, whose atmosphere fell to the ground, was powerless. In the top of the seventh inning, hitters 3, 4, and 5 stepped down with three outs, and in the top of the eighth inning, Hong Chang-ki struck out, although he had a chance to first base with a walk and a hit after two outs.
NC secured a clear victory in the bottom of the eighth inning by widening the gap to 10-5 with Kim Hwi-jip's solo shot.
