SSG Landers defeated the No. 1 LG Twins to secure the third place by winning five consecutive games.
SSG won the final game of the season against LG 5-3 at Jamsil on the 7th. His opponent finished this season behind LG with 6 wins and 10 losses. However, he was able to firmly maintain his third place position by capturing an important game in the last five games of the season.
SSG, which won five consecutive games on the day, recorded 65 wins, 4 draws, and 58 losses. The fourth-place Samsung won the second-place Hanwha on the day, leaving the two-game difference unchanged, but it became closer to the fifth round as it became 3.5 games apart from the sixth-place Lotte Giants, who had no game.
LG recorded 78 wins, 3 draws and 47 losses with the end of its two-game winning streak, failing to reduce the magic number on its own, but Hanwha lost and the magic number decreased to 12.
On this day, LG Lim Chan-kyu and SSG Kim Kwang-hyun return match. The two faced off in Jamsil on May 3, when LG won 4-1. Lim Chan-kyu became a winning pitcher with one run in six innings, and Kim Kwang-hyun became a losing pitcher with four runs (non-earned) in six innings.

For LG, 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), Choi Won-young (left wing) and Park Hae-min (middle fielder) were selected, and for SSG, Park Sung-han (striker), Kim Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Choi Jeong (third baseman), Eredia (left wing) - Han Yu-sum (right wing) - Ko Myung-joon (third baseman), Lee Ji-young (catcher), Ryu Hyo-seung (designated hitter
The point of the day was whether SSG hitters would be beaten by Lim Chan-kyu again this time. This is because Lim Chan-kyu was so strong in SSG hitters. Lim Chan-kyu pitched extremely hard against SSG with 9-1 losses and a 1.80 ERA in 11 games for three years from 2023 to this year, with two wins, no losses and a 0.75 ERA. For three years, the hit rate was only 230.
However, SSG properly targeted Lim Chan-kyu this time. SSG, which created a chance to second and third bases with no outs with Park Sung-han's right-handed hit and Jihoon Choi's double on the right-field line from the start of the first inning, scored the first run with Choi Jeong's sacrifice fly to the left field. Heredia grounded out in front of the shortstop and became a two-out runner, but Han Yu-seom hit a two-run shot over the right-center fence. In 2B1S, he rolled up a 143km fastball that he threw low on his body for the fourth time to cross the fence. 3-0.
Starting with Park Sung-han getting on base due to a shortstop error in the top of the third inning, SSG made the first and second bases with one out with Choi Jeong's walk, and added one run each with consecutive hits by Herredia and Han Yu-sum to widen the gap to 5-0.
Kim Kwang-hyun struck out Shin Min-jae in the bottom of the first inning and Oh Ji-hwan in the bottom of the second inning, and struck out Park Hae-min in the bottom of the third inning, becoming the third person to achieve 2,000 strikeouts after Song Jin-woo (Hanwha) and Yang Hyun-jong (KIA). He recorded 411 games and 2,302 ⅔ innings, setting a new record of 2,000 strikeouts and minimum innings.

LG started chasing in the bottom of the fourth inning. Austin's double to right center scored the first run on the first right-handed hit by lead Moon Sung-joo. At this time, Austin took advantage of the missed ball that the center fielder hit the fence and went to third base, leading to a chance of third base with no outs. Immediately, Moon Bo-kyung hit a double to left-center to 2-5. Kim Hyun-soo added another run after a hit to right-center. Park Dong-won hit a hit in the left-center field, leading to a chance for one out and first and second bases, but Choi Won-young hit a double play in front of the shortstop, stopping the chase at 3-5.
Kim Kwang-hyun and Lim Chan-kyu threw until the fifth inning, and the bullpen fight began in the sixth inning.
Kim Kwang-hyun threw only 83 pitches in five innings, but he had seven hits, no four outs, three strikeouts, and three runs, and Lim Chan-kyu threw 91 pitches in five innings, putting him on the verge of losing the game with six hits (one home run), one walk, four strikeouts and five runs (four earned runs). In the end, SSG kept this lead until the end, and Kim Kwang-hyun became a winning pitcher and Lim Chan-kyu became a losing pitcher, and Kim Kwang-hyun succeeded in a revenge.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Noh Kyung-eun came up and got a hit by Kim Hyun-soo, but blocked subsequent batters and recorded a hold. With 29 holds, Kim Jin-sung (30 holds), who ranks first in the hold, is one shy of Kim Jin-sung (30 holds).
In the seventh inning, both teams were full of regrets. SSG got an additional score with one out with Jung Joon-jae's left-handed hit, Park Sung-han's left-center hit, and Choi Jeong's walk against LG's third pitcher Jang Hyun-sik in the top of the seventh inning. LG posted Ham Deok-ju, Eredia struck out, and Han Yu-sum only hit a fly to center field, failing to escape.

Then LG got a chance in the bottom of the seventh inning. Leading pinch hitter Park Kwan-woo hit a double on the right-field line from changed pitcher Kim Min. Park Hae-min's hit seemed to go over the center fielder's height, but SSG center fielder Jihoon Choi followed him to the end and caught him with one out and second base. When Shin Min-jae's left-handed hit reached the first and third bases with one out, SSG's Lee Won-woon came up. Moon Sung-joo's first pitch quickly rolled toward the first baseman, and first baseman Ko Myung-joon caught it and led to a double play.
SSG scored an extra point in the top of the eighth inning. Park Sung-han hit a heavy hit to make it 7-3 with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, which was made by the first-runner Ko Myung-joon's infield hit and Jung Joon-jae's double to the right.
SSG did not let its guard down and put in closer Cho Byung-hyun in the bottom of the ninth inning to secure a four-point victory and maintain its fifth consecutive win.
On this day, SSG's top hitters were active, with Park Sung-han having three hits and two RBIs, Herredia having two hits and one RBI, and Han Yu-somni having two hits (one home run) and three RBIs.
LG also struggled with Shin Min-jae and Moon Sung-joo and Austin Kim Hyun-soo, each with two hits, but they were blocked by SSG's good defense at a decisive opportunity.
Herredia will leave for the U.S. on the 8th, the next day, after giving birth to her wife, and take maternity leave on the 12th. SSG has three important games against five-tier competitors, including the NC Dinos on the 9th and 10th and the Samsung Lions on the 11th, but it is an important day for Herredia's life, so it has decided to take maternity leave willingly. For SSG, which has shown a good flow with five consecutive wins, I wonder what the result of Herredia's absence, which was good, will be.
