LG showed off strong attack strength on the day, gaining the upper hand from the beginning, and gaining a relatively easy victory. It created an opportunity to load the bases with no outs in the first inning, and led the game by scoring two runs due to errors by the opponent team’s infielders.
In the second inning, Park Dong-won’s solo home run, Hong Chang-ki’s double followed by Austin’s one-run timely hit, and Oh Ji-hwan’s two-run timely hit with the bases loaded with two outs led the game 6-0.
Kim Hyun-soo hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning and Park Dong-won hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning. Kim Sung-jin hit his first homer (two-run) in the ninth inning.
Starter Lim Chan-kyu allowed a three-run home run to Herredia in the fourth inning, but he won 10 games with four hits, two walks, five strikeouts and three runs in five innings. Park Dong-won had four RBIs with two home runs, Kim Hyun-soo had three RBIs, Oh Ji-hwan had two RBIs and Park Hae-min had two hits, and the four FA hitters were active for the first time in a long time.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said after the game, “Congratulations on Lim Chan-kyu’s 10th win and overall, we were able to win with ease as the central players showed active offense in the lineup.”
Having advanced to the postseason for the sixth consecutive year, LG will start its “Autumn Baseball” in the semi-playoff league this year. Having achieved the combined championship last year, LG aims to win its second consecutive Korean Series title at the third place this year.
Until mid-August, LG trailed Kia Tigers by three to four games to maintain its No. 2 position. However, it lost to Samsung in the three consecutive games from Aug. 16 to Aug. 18, losing to the third place. It lost to Samsung and has yet to regain its position. The team’s 5-10 inferiority to the lowest-ranked Kiwoom was also a fatal blow to the competition.
LG attempted to win its second consecutive gold medal following last year, but failed to achieve its goal by ranking third in the regular season. “We prepared hard from this season’s spring camp, and there were many crises despite hot weather, but I would like to say thank you and thank you to the entire team for coping with those crises,” manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said.
“We are disappointed that we did not produce the results we aimed for in the regular season, but I think we still have one more chance. We will thoroughly prepare for the rest of the time so that both the players and the coaching staff can prepare well and repay the fans and make a good result to smile at the end.”
“Although we did not achieve the results that we aimed for during the regular season, we were able to achieve the 3rd place thanks to the fans who cheered us on passionately throughout the season,” Yeom said. “If you come to the post season and cheer us on, we will do our best to repay the support. Thank you so much.”
