From the end of the 5th inning to the beginning of the 8th inning, 17 points were scored during three innings each. Park Young-hyun was also helpless in front of the twins' 「Fire bat」.
In the KT Wiz match held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 4th, the LG Twins won 10-8 with Moon Sung-joo's 34th and second career come-from-behind final bases loaded.
With this victory, LG recorded its 78th win (three draws and 46 losses) and led the way without hesitation. The second-place Hanwha Eagles often show their potential, but it seems too much to catch up with the leader LG with less than 20 games left.
On the other hand, KT Wiz tied for fifth with the Lotte Giants in a day with its 62nd loss (63 wins and 4 draws). He showed off his strong batting performance against LG's powerful lineup, but the bullpen he believed in repeatedly collapsed and swallowed the anger.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met before the game, said of Hong Chang-ki's return after playing live batting, `We are setting it up when there are about 10 games left in the regular season. It could be delayed further. The key is to return to perfect condition. He also needs to improve his sense of play in the second division, and he will play about three games as a designated hitter before entering defense. He said, "I want him to take the first batter and right fielder in the Korean Series, starting at about 6th."

On the other hand, KT's substitute starter Moon Yong-ik is coming out due to foreign pitcher Patrick's unexpected knee pain. KT manager Lee Kang-chul couldn't hide his frustration while looking back proudly on the Lotte War the previous day.
LG opened first. In the top of the fourth inning, Moon Yong-ik was replaced after complaining of discomfort in his right middle finger with no outs and runners on the first and third bases. Sovereignty, who suddenly took the mound, blocked Park Dong-won well with a 643 double play, but third baseman Kim Hyun-soo could not stop his home run.

The real game of the day started at the end of the fifth inning. KT's captain Jang Sung-woo fired a solo shot to tie the left. He hit back-to-back home runs against Lotte's Gamboa and Yoon Sung-bin the previous day, followed by three home runs in two games. The result fits the judgment of coach Lee Kang-chul, who left the catcher mask to rookie Kang Hyun-woo and Cho Dae-hyun, and made him concentrate on hitting.
KT led 3-1 with pinch hitter Kang Baek-ho and veteran Huh Kyung-min hitting a series of timely hits in the following two outs and runners on first and second bases. However, LG followed Oh Ji-hwan's tiebreaking two-run shot in the top of the sixth inning.
KT scored three points in the bottom of the sixth inning by combining LG '5.2 billion FA' Jang Hyun-sik's disturbance, LG Austin's throwing error, Kim Sang-soo's sacrifice fly, and pinch hitter Lee Ho-yeon's timely hit. However, LG immediately chased him. In the top of the seventh inning, Moon Sung-joo's timely hit, Austin's double, and Moon Bo-kyung's ground ball caught up with the two runs again.

Ahn Hyun-min fired a two-run shot against LG's must-win group Lee Jung-yong in the bottom of the seventh inning, leading 8-5 to seal the victory.
It was a mistake. LG started off with Oh Ji-hwan's hit off KT's must-winner Kim Min-soo in the top of the eighth inning, followed by Park Dong-won's double and Park Kwan-woo's sacrifice fly to 6-8.
KT showed its will to win by putting in closer Park Young-hyun early, but Park Young-hyun looked somewhat exhausted. He gave up consecutive walks to Park Hae-min and Shin Min-jae, loading the bases with one out, and Moon Sung-joo hit a come-from-behind bases-loaded single over the right fence, sending the away seat to the first base into a frenzy.
LG finished the game with rookie Pilseung Group Kim Young-woo in the bottom of the eighth inning and Yoo Young-chan in the bottom of the ninth inning.
