A reversal that was hard to believe even after watching. The LG Twins came from behind to win 7-4 in the top of the ninth inning, exploding as many as six runs. With this victory, LG won the Korean Series 3-1, leaving only one win to win the combined championship.

Game 4 of the Korean Series was held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th.

Until the top of the ninth inning of the game, the main character was Hanwha starter Weiss. Weiss threw 117 pitches of fighting spirit in seven ⅔ innings and blocked LG's batters with one run. If Hanwha, leading 4-1, blocked LG's offense in the top of the ninth inning, it was able to bring the series back to square one with two wins and two losses.

In the top of the ninth inning, the attack began with Oh Ji-hwan, the leader. Kim Seo-hyun, who took the mound in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases and treated Austin with an infield fly ball, also took the mound in the ninth inning.

But... Kim Seo-hyun's ball control was shaken. Oh Ji-hwan walked out. The next batter is Park Dongwon. On this day, the bat of the silent master exploded with no hits in three at-bats. He hit Kim Seo-hyun's 150-kilometer fastball to make a two-run shot over the fence in the middle. At once, it was gradually narrowed down to 3-4 points.

Chun Sung-ho stepped down with a ground ball to shortstop, but Park Hae-min drew a walk again, continuing the flow. Hanwha's bench eventually had no choice but to change Kim Seo-hyun to Park Sang-won.




However, the replacement of pitchers was also useless. Hong Chang-ki, who Park Sang-won faced, pulled a 146km fastball for the fourth time with a ball count of 0B2S to make a hit to the right, with one out and runners on the first and second bases. Shin Min-jae's ground ball to the first base led to a chance to get on the second and third bases with two outs, and veteran Kim Hyun-soo decided his fate.

a timely turnaround. Incredibly, LG turned the tables 5-4 on the ground. Moon Bo-kyung and Austin's timely hits were followed by a 7-4 run.

At the bottom of the ninth inning, closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan took the mound. He made up for the bitter failure of the previous day, kept one scoreless inning and roared vigorously.

Center fielder Park Hae-min ran to the infield with tears of emotion and hugged Oh Ji-hwan. It is Park Hae-min who has already cried when Kim Hyun-soo hit the final.

LG players wrote the script for the unbelievable reversal drama themselves. It was the players themselves who were most impressed.
