KIA Tigers beat the winning team LG Twins to finish the 2026 spring camp in a good mood.

KIA beat the LG Twins 9-6 in the 2026 spring camp practice game held at Kintown Baseball Stadium in Kin Town, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on the 6th.

As a result, LG recorded 2 wins and 3 losses in a total of 5 Okinawa practice games, achieving a successful conclusion.

KIA starter Lee Eui-ri (24) was definitely outstanding, with both teams hitting eight hits (LG) and 10 hits (KIA).

Lee Eui-ri allowed no runs in three innings with two walks and four strikeouts without hitting. He threw a total of 45 balls, including 30 fastball balls, 8 sliders, 5 change-ups and 2 curves, recording a maximum speed of 146 km/h.

The stable control along with the restraint that came up was impressive. Lee Eui-ri struck out Lee Jae-won, the first batter, and made two outs in an instant by catching Chun Sung-ho's training ball himself. Despite getting on base due to an error, Oh Ji-hwan returned to center field with a fly ball to finish the first inning.

He also showed off his crisis management skills. He gave a walk to Hong Chang-ki, the first batter in the second inning, but struck out Moon Sung-joo and doubled down Koo Bon-hyuk to end the inning. He struck out two consecutive batters in the bottom of the third inning. He walked Lee Jae-won, but finished three innings by handling Chun Sung-ho's fly ball to left field.

Ace James Nail, who took the mound in the fifth inning, was also encouraging. Despite facing LG's top batting order, Nail marked two hits, no outs, one strikeout, and one run in two innings. Throwing a total of 32 pitches, including 13 fastball, 7 change-up pitches, 7 sweeper pitches, 2 curves, and 1 cutter, the maximum speed reached 149km/h.

Yoon Do-hyun's performance in the lineup was impressive. Yoon Do-hyun opened the game with a heavy hit in the first inning against LG starter Lim Chan-kyu. Harold Castro homered on a timely two-run double to right field.

In the second inning, he reported an RBI single himself. With two outs and a runner on the second base, he scored an additional point with a timely RBI in the middle, and Kim Sun-bin's hit to the right and Castro's fly ball to center field to score his second point.

In the fourth inning, his last at-bat, he also came out as a leadoff hitter and opened the way with a hit to the middle field, scoring when Han Jun-su's fly ball to left field, and completing three hits, one RBI and three runs in three at-bats.

Castro, who played as the fourth and designated hitter, also played as a troubleshooter whenever he was critical, with one hit and three RBIs in two at-bats. In addition, Kim Kyu-sung of the lower batting line recorded multiple hits.

On the other hand, LG recorded one draw and two losses in three Okinawa practice games. It was a pity that starter Lim Chan-kyu was sluggish in two innings (52 pitches) with five hits, two walks and six runs (four earned runs) without striking out.

With a large number of national team players missing, only Hong Chang-ki soothed fans with his only multi-hitters, including an RBI timely double.
