The LG Twins won a big victory over the Lotte Giants and came close to winning the regular league.
In an away game against Lotte at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 25th, LG won 11-1 with a five-run blast, including starter Son Joo-young's scoreless throw and Austin's three-run shot.
LG, which overcame the pain of its upset loss to NC the previous day, ranked first with 84 wins, 3 draws and 52 losses, and as the second-ranked Hanwha Eagles lost to the Doosan Bears, the magic number was reduced to 3 and the game difference was increased to 3.5.
LG, which will play three consecutive weekend games against Hanwha in Daejeon from the 26th, will be able to play with ease. If you win three of the remaining five games, you will win. If he wins only one of the three consecutive games and then wins one game against Doosan and NC, he will occupy an advantageous position to win on his own.
LG, which frequently lost its offensive connection due to Moon Bo-kyung's poor batting performance in No. 4, changed to No. 4 Kim Hyun-soo-5 Moon Bo-kyung in the match against NC the previous day, but it came out as a new centerline on the day. It was composed of Hong Chang-ki (designated hitter), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Austin (first baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (captor), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). The central batting line is newly composed of Moon Sung-joo, Austin, and Kim Hyun-soo. And this hit the nail on the head
Starting Son Joo-young became the first contributor to the victory. Son Joo-young gave the team a victory at the most important time by giving two hits, one walk, seven strikeouts and no runs in seven innings. 11th win of the season. In five games against Lotte this season, he showed his appearance as a Lotte killer with three wins, no losses and an ERA of 1.13.

LG blew all the chances of first and second bases with no outs in the top of the first inning and first and second bases with no outs in the top of the third inning with a double play. However, Son Joo-young clearly blocked Lotte's batters to maintain 0-0 and took the lead in the third chance in the top of the fifth inning.
Two runners came in and made it 2-0 as Lotte shortstop Jeon Min-jae's throw to the first base fell back when Shin Min-jae hit a ground ball in front of the slow shortstop in the chance of loading the bases with one out made by Park Dong-won's hits and consecutive walks by Park Hae-min and Hong Chang-ki.
Moon Sung-joo then hit a ground ball with a high bound toward first base, and first baseman Ko Seung-min sprayed it home, but the throw was a little high, so it was safe again. 3-0. It wasn't recorded as an error, but it was a disappointing defense.
And Austin hit a high change-up in the middle of Gamboa's 135km first pitch, sending a three-run shot over the left-center fence to make it 6-0 at once.
LG, who opened the attack, continued to run away by drawing scores nonstop. In the top of the sixth inning, third baseman Park Chan-hyung's throw to the first base fell back one-bound when Austin grounded out in front of the third base in a bases-loaded chance with two walks and one hit after two outs, and two runners came in 8-0. In the top of the eighth inning, Austin scored two more runs with a double on the left-field line with one out. In the top of the ninth inning, he went 11-0 with Kim Hyun-jong's double and Chun Sung-ho's timely hit after two outs with a double play.
LG's Son Joo-young played seven innings, and as the lineup exploded, he saved the winning team and was able to make all-out efforts against Hanwha.
