In the end, Austin Dean's batting order came down.
In Game 4 of the Korean Series against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th, the LG Twins formed the starting lineup of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder).
Austin, who hit No. 3 all the time, went down to No. 5, Kim Hyun-soo, who was No. 4, came up to No. 3, and Moon Bo-kyung, who was No. 5. In other words, they changed seats only three, four, and five times. The rest of the batters were placed in the same batting order as in Games 1 to 3.
Austin was selected as the player with the best batting pace among LG batters until the Korean Series match. That's why LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also picked him as a key player. However, he remained hitless until Game 3. Yeom, who had continued to have high expectations for Austin, also said after Game 3 that he should adjust his batting order when his chance was cut at Austin, and the three center hitters changed their positions on the day.
LG suffered a shocking upset loss in Game 3 on the 29th. Starting Son Joo-young fought on par with Hanwha starter Ponce (two runs in six innings) by blocking well with one run in five innings, and Shin Min-jae's double and Kim Hyun-soo's solo shot led 2-1 and seemed to take a three-game winning streak. In the top of the eighth inning, Kim Seo-hyun's wild pitch added one more point to decide the game. However, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Song Seung-gi, Yoo Young-chan, and Kim Young-woo came out and gave up as many as six points, and they lost 3-7. In particular, Kim Seo-hyun, the opponent's closer, became a winning pitcher, creating an opportunity to survive.

In the fourth game, LG has to beat Hanwha's momentum. The role should be played by starter Yonny Chirinos. It was originally scheduled to be selected in the second game, but it was delayed due to a side strain, so it was only played in the fourth game. He will take the mound in an important game that could be a watershed for LG.
Chirinos had 13 wins, 6 losses and a 3.31 ERA this season, and pitched well with a 1-1 record and a 1.40 ERA in three games against Hanwha. Lee Jin-young and Noh Si-hwan were strong against Chirinos with three hits in seven at-bats, while Chae Eun-sung and Moon Hyun-bin recorded two hits in nine at-bats (0.222). Liberato, Ha Joo-seok, Lee Do-yoon, Son Ah-seop, and Choi Jae-hoon also have memories of hitting hits one by one.
Weiss is the starter of Hanwha, which should continue its comeback victory the previous day. Weiss is the main character who ranked Hanwha in second place along with Ponce with 16 wins and 5 losses and a 2.87 ERA this season. He also had one win and no loss in two games against LG and had a good 2.25 ERA with three runs in 12 innings.
Among LG hitters, Austin and Kim Hyun-soo recorded two hits (0.333) in six at-bats, while Moon Bo-kyung, Park Hae-min, Shin Min-jae, Hong Chang-ki and Moon Sung-joo each had one hit. Austin and Moon Bo-kyung also have one home run each.
