Leading team LG Twins showcased explosive hitting concentration and succeeded in sweeping the midweek three-game series.

On the 11th, LG defeated SSG Landers 15-1 at Seoul Jamsil Stadium, securing their third consecutive victory. They produced two 5-run big innings, including a three-run, two-base hit with the bases loaded by Song Chan-ui in the first inning and by Austin in the fourth. They maintained an overwhelming 8-1 advantage against SSG this season.

From the start of the game, they aggressively attacked opposing starter Kim Geon-woo. In the bottom of the first, Moon Bo-kyung's single to left field opened the scoring. With one out and the bases loaded, Song Chan-ui hit a two-base hit to left-center field, driving in all three runners. This was followed by Lee Ju-heon's two-run single to center field, extending the lead to 5-0.

In the bottom of the fourth, the same pattern added five more runs. Hong Chang-gi hit a single to center field with one RBI, and with one out and the bases loaded, Austin hit a three-run, two-base hit to left-center field off reliever Choi Yong-jun. Oh Ji-hwan then added the 10th run with a two-run single to right field.

Song Chan-ui hit a two-run, two-base hit over the right-field fence with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth, and added a two-base hit over the center-field fence in the bottom of the eighth, finishing with four hits and five RBIs. His four two-base hits tied the KBO League record for most two-base hits in a single game, making him only the third player in history to achieve this, after Kang Seok-cheon in 1992 and Jo Sung-hwan in 2010. His four hits set a new personal record for most hits in a single game.

In contrast, SSG had a chance with one out and the bases loaded in the top of the third but managed to score only one run thanks to a bases-loaded walk by Choi Jung. Kim Geon-woo collapsed after pitching 3⅓ innings, allowing seven hits and nine earned runs.

On the LG mound, starter Kim Yun-sik pitched 2⅓ innings, allowing one run but giving up four hit-by-pitches and walks, and was pulled early. Jang Hyun-sik took over and pitched 4⅔ scoreless innings to secure his fifth win of the season (2 losses, 2 saves, 7 holds). This mirrored a scene from the the 5th game against NC Dinos, where Kim Yun-sik gave up five walks and three runs with two outs in the first inning before being replaced, and Jang Hyun-sik then pitched four scoreless innings to lay the foundation for the victory.
