Down by four runs, the bullpen came alive, and they won. The LG Twins are confident.

LG won the first and second place matchup against the SSG Landers 8-6 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on April 28. It was a dramatic come-from-behind victory 메이저사이트. On this day, LG used substitute starter Lee Ji-gang. Coach Yoon Kyung-yeop also announced a “bullpen day. There were so many variables, and the team had to be prepared in case the starters fell apart early.

In the bottom of the 5th inning, the LG bats were quiet. With a four-run deficit, Ham Deok-ju took the mound as the third pitcher. Ham has been the most reliable part of the LG bullpen lately. It’s quite unusual to see a key member of the bullpen pitch in a losing situation, even if it’s not a one- or two-run game.

The confidence of the LG bench was palpable. LG had their bullpen ready early on in case Lee Ji-kang was the starter. It was a declaration of total war. Plus, there was rain forecast for the next day, the 29th, due to the rainy season. Even though they were down by four runs, they were determined to keep the game close by bringing up Ham Deok-ju. They were confident that if they prevented further runs, they could turn the game around given the texture of the LG batting lineup.

Ham Duk-ju gave up a home run to Park Sung-ho in the fifth, but it was a solo shot. No further runs were allowed, and LG’s scenario became a reality. In the top of the sixth inning, the tables were turned.

Despite failing to get a complete game shutout of starter Jong-hoon Park, they pounded the SSG bullpen. In the top of the sixth, back-to-back hits loaded the bases and LG scored three runs. 1-6 and 4-6 had different weights. The score was within striking distance. LG’s bench continued to utilize the pitching trio of Ham Deok-ju, Jung Woo-young, and Park Myung-geun. It was the perfect foundation for the chase, and the bats responded. In the top of the eighth inning, Noh Kyung-eun broke down the SSG tandem of Go Hyo-joon and tied the game 메이저도메인. The five-run comeback set the tone for the rest of the game. After losing the lead, SSG had no choice but to admit defeat.

Confidence that they can turn it around even if they’re losing. It is the driving force that has brought LG back to the top of the standings.
