The LG Twins won eight consecutive games in return for the support of the fans who filled the home turf. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58) expressed his emotional feelings by attributing the victory to the players' fighting spirit and the fans' passionate support.

LG won 2-1 thanks to Austin Dean's final solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning in its first showdown of the season against the "2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League" Lotte Giants at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 14th.

As a result, LG has won eight consecutive games since the match against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 4th, and has enjoyed the joy of winning the first eight consecutive games in a single season in seven years since May 2019. There were eight consecutive wins from the game against Kiwoom in Jamsil on September 26, 2024, to the game against Changwon NC on March 29, 2025, but this was a record over two seasons.

After the game, coach Yeom Kyung-yeop was the first to raise the players' willpower through his victory speech. Manager Yeom reflected on the game, saying, "It was a difficult game with a lot of bases overall, but starter Song Seung-ki set the stage for victory by blocking a scoreless score with perfect pitching as the first starter in Korea."

Regarding the bullpen's performance, he also gave a thumbs-up, saying, "I would like to praise the winning group, Woo Kang-hoon and Kim Jin-sung, for keeping the inning with the least number of runs and handing it over to Yoo Young-chan, and Yoo Young-chan continued to make saves in a tough situation and showed a finishing touch for the winning team."

The match was decided at the end of the eighth inning. With the score tied 1-1, Austin, the leadoff hitter, hit a first-pitch slider against Lotte's "new man" Park Jung-min to shoot a 118.6m winning home run. Manager Yeom praised Austin for his role as a troubleshooter, saying, "At the batting line, Austin led the batting line with three hits, including a decisive home run."

In addition, manager Yeom said, "I played a really difficult game today, but I was able to win because I was willing to unite around senior players in the second half of the game. I want to praise our players for their willpower to win," he added.

Finally, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop expressed his sincere gratitude to LG fans who filled the ballpark on this day. On this day, Jamsil Stadium, despite being a weekday, recorded its eighth sellout of LG's home game this season, exuding hot heat. Manager Yeom said, "Thanks to the support of LG fans who filled Jamsil Baseball Stadium even on weekdays, we were able to lead to eight consecutive wins. I sincerely thank you," he said, bowing his head.
