The LG Twins have won two straight games thanks to their bats. Manager Yoon Kyung-yeop praised his players.
LG won a 10-4 home game against the SSG Landers of the 2023 KBO League on Saturday at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. After jumping out to an early 3-0 lead, LG gave up a 3-4 run in the top of the sixth inning when starter Casey Kelly was suddenly shaken up. But in the ensuing at-bat, the bottom of the order loaded the bases, and Hong Chang-ki and Shin Min-jae hit back-to-back RBI singles to take a 7-3 lead. Three more runs in the seventh inning sealed the victory.
Hong Chang-ki, the leadoff hitter, went 3-for-3 with a triple, an RBI, and a run scored. No. 9 Park Hae-min added one stolen base in the bottom of the fifth inning to become the second player in history to reach 20 stolen bases in a decade (2014-2023). Shin Min-jae at No. 2 and Kim Hyun-soo at No. 3 also had two hits each.스포츠토토
After the game, LG manager Yoon Kyung-yeop said, “Kelly had a difficult game in the top of the sixth inning when she gave up a walk to (opposing No. 3 hitter) Choi Jung. But she did her job as a starting pitcher. In the top of the seventh inning, Baek Seung-hyun handled the situation well and set the stage for the win.” He also praised Baek Seung-hyun for striking out Choi Joo-hwan in the top of the seventh inning, saying, “He stepped up.”
“In the offense, Hong Chang-ki came through with a big hit and did a good job on defense. He led the offense as a whole. When we needed to score more runs, Shin Min-jae hit a crucial two-run homerun to help us get back into the game.” “It was a tight game in the middle, but the players stayed focused and pulled off the upset, and I want to commend them for their focus.”
