As expected, 'hyo' was different.

Even though he was the No. 1 team the day before, he was in the mood of a portrait house. The bullpen pitchers who believed in the game against the eighth-ranked NC Dinos gave up four outs for the seventh consecutive time, giving up six consecutive runs. The fielders just stood there and gave up six points. He was leading 5-3 before being overturned 5-9 and eventually lost 5-10. The ridiculous defeat led to a 2.5 game gap with the second-place Hanwha Eagles.

So the game against the Lotte Giants on the 25th was very important. If he did not win with a good play on the day, he could enter the three consecutive one-wood bridge games against Hanwha in Daejeon from the 26th in the worst atmosphere.




'Hyoja'Foreign hitter Austin Dean solved this important game. He led his team to an 11-1 victory by batting fourth for the second time this season and sweeping five RBIs along with a home run. Hanwha also lost to Doosan in ninth place, and LG reduced the magic number to 3, and the game difference between the two widened to 3.5. He can have some leeway in the three consecutive games in Daejeon.

LG started as a new center hitter on the day. Moon Sung-joo at No. 3, Austin at No. 4, Kim Hyun-soo at No. 5, and Moon Bo-kyung at No. 6. As Moon Bo-kyung was sluggish recently, Moon Sung-joo, who has recently improved his batting sense, was placed at No. 3 and Austin at No. 4 as Moon Bo-kyung was not very effective the previous day, and tried to connect the 1st to 5th hitters. And this has succeeded as a result. Chances piled up in front of Austin and eventually Austin solved it, allowing LG to bring victory.

Austin, who blew his first chance with a double play in front of the third baseman with one out and runners on first and second bases in the top of the first inning, also grounded out in front of the shortstop in the top of the fourth inning.




However, he showed off his power in his third at-bat in the top of the fifth inning with a 3-0 lead.

With the bases loaded with one out, Lotte infielder's disappointing defense came out twice in a row and scored three points, and Austin hit a high changeup in the middle of Gamboa's 135km first pitch to hit a three-run shot over the left-center fence to make it 6-0 at once.

At the beginning of the sixth inning, I was lucky. He hit a ground ball in front of the third base with two outs and a bases loaded, but the ball fell back due to the third baseman's bad pitch, and he was able to reach the home of two main writers to open the game 8-0.

In the top of the eighth inning, he hit a two-run double to get out of the third base with one out. All seven points from 3-0 to 10-0 were made during Austin's bat.

Austin scored two hits, five RBIs and one run in five at-bats to lead the team to a victory, proving once again why he is a foreign hitter with 'hyo'.

He has 29 homers and 92 RBIs even though he took a month off in July and missed 23 games due to a side injury. After 32 home runs and 132 RBIs last year, he is trying to hit 30 home runs and 100 RBIs for the second consecutive year. If achieved, he would be the first LG batter ever.

Austin said after the game that he was pleased that the team made an amazing comeback after yesterday's result. The team was so good today, and I'm proud to be able to overcome yesterday's game together. Especially, Son Joo Young did a great job" and rejoiced at the victory he had achieved with his colleagues.

It was an intelligent home run aimed at the first pitch that came to catch the count when Lotte's defense was in disarray. Austin was aiming for the first pitch since he entered the batter's box. The runner was already at third base, so I thought I should score by hitting a fly, but it was a better result and I was able to score points that contributed to the team's victory"Whenever Son Joo-young takes the mound, he asks me to hit a home run, and I think I hit a home run in Joo-young's pitching game about three to four times this year. Joo-young, who is a very good friend who is my rocker mate and is also next to me, feels even better because she did well today.

Austin said, `We have five more games left, and I want to work hard on the rest of the schedule and make the fans happy," he said, expressing his desire to win the championship.
