We came to the final game of the season.

The LG Twins ended up being driven by a ridiculous situation that led the Magic Number 1 to the last game of the season.

When LG won 9-2 against Hanwha on the 27th and reduced the magic number to 1, it seemed to have almost confirmed the championship. In addition, on the 28th, the next day, Hanwha's starting pitcher changed from Cody Ponce to Jung Woo-ju as the game was postponed to the next day due to rain. The decision to cancel was made due to rain after Ponce finished preparing for the game.




LG seemed to be a green light for LG to win, as starter Lim Chan-kyu, who was strong in Hanwha, was able to throw it as it was.

However, LG failed to target Hanwha's bullpen, which started with Jung Woo-joo, and rather, Lim Chan-kyu was attacked by the Hanwha lineup and lost 3-7.

Still, I thought I could win the match against Doosan at Jamsil home. He was strong against Doosan with nine wins and six losses this season, and it was worth trying because he was good in the previous match with Doosan starter Col Irvin.




But the result was contrary to expectations. LG hitters only three hits. With two double plays, he couldn't even take advantage of his chances properly. On the other hand, the two scored six runs on 12 hits, devastating the LG mound. In the end, they lost 0-6.

LG's magic number 1 was alive as Hanwha won 1-0 in the 10th inning of the match against Lotte.

Now, LG has to win the final game of the season against the NC Dinos in Jamsil on Oct. 1. The game, which was scheduled to be held on the 12th but was canceled due to rain, is now the final match that will determine LG's victory. At that time, NC Riley and LG Song Seung-ki were scheduled to face off as starters, but this time, NC Kim Tae-kyung and LG Chirinos will play.




In the end, it came to the final match against NC with seven consecutive wins. LG's fate is at stake in Chirinos. Will he be able to win the game?

Chirinos is 13-5 with a 3.23 ERA this season. The previous game was against Daejeon Hanwha on September 26, and he became a losing pitcher with six hits, one walk, six strikeouts, and two runs (one earned run) in six ⅓ innings. He threw well without allowing a run until the sixth inning and was replaced after giving up two runners in the seventh inning, but the relief pitcher allowed a hit and lost the game.

He will start after four days off. This day is the final match of the season, so we have to go all out to win. Son Joo-young, who prepared as a bullpen for the game on the 30th due to cold, or Tolhurst, who played against Hanwha on the 27th, may also be able to come out as a bullpen.

NC Kim Tae-kyung has taken the mound in five games this season and has an ERA of 11.70 with one hold without losing or losing. He is a pitcher who had a war of nerves with Park Hae-min at this year's exhibition game. I remember throwing well against LG in 2022. At that time, he started the game in Changwon on August 14 and became a winning pitcher with one hit, four walks, and three strikeouts in five innings, and when he started in Jamsil on October 2, he allowed two hits, two walks, and two strikeouts in five ⅓ innings. How about starting against LG this year, three years later. As NC has also overtaken KT to fifth place by winning seven consecutive games, Kim Tae-kyung's pitching is drawing attention because he cannot give up the game against LG.

NC and LG faced each other in Changwon on the 24th. At that time, NC won 10-5, but LG led 5-3, and Ham Deok-ju, Baek Seung-hyun, Lee Ji-gang, allowed seven consecutive batters and four pitches in the bottom of the sixth inning, which was a disgrace.

If LG beats NC, it will write the real record of winning the superiority against the former team. Except for NC, all eight clubs had a lead of more than 50%. NC is ahead of NC with eight wins and seven losses, but if it loses the game on the 1st, it will have a 50% winning rate with eight wins and eight losses, failing to dominate the opponent. Will LG be able to win the first major championship in the 10-team system since the 2012 SK Wyverns. You have to bet everything in the final round.
