LG Twins achieved V4.
LG won 4-1 in Game 5 of the Korean Series against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 31st, thanks to Tolhurst's good pitching of one run in seven innings and Kim Hyun-soo's three hits and two RBIs It was his fourth win after 1990, 1994 and 2023.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop won for the second time after 2023. He became the ninth coach to win more than two championships in history.
Hanwha tried to win the title again for the first time in 19 years since the runner-up in 2006, but it is aiming for the next opportunity. Coach Kim Kyung-moon also finished second in his fifth attempt.
Hanwha, which was on the edge of the cliff after suffering a fatal upset loss in the top of the ninth inning the previous day, changed the atmosphere by hiring Lee Won-seok, who scored with a hit and a stolen base.
LG took the lineup the previous day as it was in the top of the ninth inning to continue the energy of the come-from-behind victory, while Hanwha changed the atmosphere by hiring Lee Won-seok, who scored with a hit and a steal the previous day, to right field. Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), Lee Won-seok (right fielder), and Shim Woo-jun (striker) are targeting LG's starting pitcher Tolhurst, who became the winning pitcher in the first round.

Of course, LG brought the lineup of the come-from-behind victory the previous day. The starting lineup consisted 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). Nine players are used until Game 5.
LG drew the first point from the top of the first inning, bringing the atmosphere. Even the main character of the first RBI was Kim Hyun-soo, who hit a come-from-behind hit the previous day. After one out, Shin Min-jae hit a double that fell inside the left-field line, and Kim Hyun-soo hit a left-handed hit to make it 1-0. Moon Bo-kyung's straight walk led to a chance of one out and first and second bases, but shortstop Shim Woo-joon caught Austin's well-hit ball and threw it to second base to catch the first baseman, followed by Oh Ji-hwan striking out and failing to score additional points.

In the top of the second inning, Hanwha quickly replaced the pitcher. He lowered Moon Dong-ju and raised Jung Woo-ju. It seemed to take into account Moon Dong-ju's fatigue level, which he had thrown since the playoffs. Hanwha quickly got a chance after Jung Woo-joo blocked the top of the second inning. Noh Si-hwan's heavy hit made Ha Joo-seok's double on the left-field line to make it second and third bases with one out. Choi Jae-hoon walked and loaded the bases with one out.
Lee Won-seok's first pitch in the Korean Series flowed toward shortstop. Shortstop Oh Ji-hwan tried to catch it and spray it home, but the ball was not caught properly, and Oh gave up the home and threw it to first base 1-1. Shim Woo-joon, the hero of Game 3 with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, grounded out in front of the catcher and failed to turn the tables.
LG led again in the top of the third inning. The first-runner Shin Min-jae's right-handed hit and back-to-back walks by Kim Hyun-soo and Moon Bo-kyung loaded the bases with no outs. Austin struck out, but Oh Ji-hwan hit a line drive sacrifice fly to right field to lead 2-1 again. Park Dong-won hit a ball toward center field, but second baseman Ha Joo-seok caught it and sprayed it to first base. For LG, it was a pity that Park Dong-won's feet were slow.

Hanwha had a chance again at the bottom of the third inning. Son Ah-seop's left-handed hit and Liberato's walk resulted in no outs and runners on the first and second bases. Moon attempted a sacrifice bunt, but his third baseman Koo Bon-hyuk's clever defense resulted in a double play. In 2B1S, Moon Hyun-bin made a sacrifice bunt and fell in front of Koo Bon-hyuk, who sent it through his crotch. I thought I missed the ball, but Koo Bon-hyuk sent the ball on purpose. I didn't catch the ball on purpose because I thought it would be a foul, and the ball went out of the foul line. Moon Hyun-bin then hit two fouls and pulled the seventh pitch, but he rolled in front of the second baseman and became a double play. If Koo Bon-hyuk caught the ball quickly and sprayed it to first base, he would have been on the second and third bases with one out.

Koo Bon-hyuk's witty defense made it two outs and third base, and Tolhurst struck out Noh Si-hwan with a swing and miss and ended the crisis without allowing a run in the bottom of the third inning. Unfortunately, Hanwha lost the chance.
LG continued its frustrating lead in the top of the fourth inning with one out and runners on first and second base and one out in the top of the fifth inning, but Tolhurst, who threw nervously until the third inning, showed stability by blocking the fourth and fifth innings with three outs. Geary LG scored an extra point. In the top of the sixth inning, lead Hong Chang-ki went out with a hit ball, and Shin Min-jae's sacrifice bunt gave him another chance to get one out and second base. Kim Hyun-soo finally hit a hit in left-center, 3-1.
From Moon Hyun-bin's double play to 11 consecutive hitters, Tolhurst completely blocked Hanwha's batters, and led the team to victory again following the first game with four hits, two walks, five strikeouts and one run until the end of the seventh inning. He won two games in the Korean Series alone, serving as a "winning contractor".

LG consistently sent out runners but failed to call in. In the top of the seventh inning, Koo Bon-hyuk hit a double to the right-center after one out, but there was no follow-up hit, and in the top of the eighth inning, Shin Min-jae and Kim Hyun-soo made the first and second bases with no outs, but Moon Bo-kyung hit a double play and Austin struck out again without a score.
Hanwha blocked LG's batters by alternately sending out right-handed and left-handed pitchers after Moon Dong-joo went down after just one more inning, including Jung Woo-joo, Hwang Joon-seo, Kim Jong-soo, Cho Dong-wook and Joo Hyun-sang, but tired batters failed to target LG pitchers in the end after playing the 10th postseason game. The two-point gap looked too big. In the bottom of the eighth inning, leadoff pinch hitter Hwang Young-mook had a hit from second pitcher Kim Jin-sung, but pinch hitter Choi In-ho stepped down with a shortstop fly and Son Ah-seop a double play.
With the bases loaded with three hits in the top of the ninth inning, Hong Chang-ki's sacrifice fly to center field added one more run, 4-1.
At the bottom of the ninth inning, LG closer Yoo Young-chan came up. After two outs, Moon Hyun-bin was allowed a hit, but Yoo Young-chan caught Noh Si-hwan's ball himself and threw it to first base to end the game. This is the moment when LG is rising to the strongest.
