The LG Twins, led by Song Chan-ui's four-hit performance, defeated the Doosan Bears and successfully seized the initiative in the weekend three-game series.

On the 19th, LG secured a 3-2 comeback victory against Doosan in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game held at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

With this win, LG escaped a two-game losing streak, improving to 43 wins and 26 losses. The team maintained its first-place standing in the league standings. Meanwhile, Doosan, unable to continue its upward momentum from the previous day's (18th) victory over the KT Wiz, finished with 34 wins, 2 draws, and 34 losses. The team currently holds sole fifth place in the league standings.

For this game, LG set its starting lineup as follows: Song Chan-ui (right fielder), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Moon Sung-ju (left fielder), Lee Ju-heon (catcher), and Gu Bon-hyeok (second baseman). Starting pitcher for LG was Lee Jeong-yong.

In response, Doosan arranged its starting lineup as follows: Jung Soobin (center fielder), Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Son A-seop (designated hitter), Cameron (right fielder), Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Ahn Jae-seok (third baseman), Oh Myung-jin (second baseman), and Yoon Jun-ho (catcher). Starting pitcher for Doosan was Wes Benjamin.

Doosan took the lead early, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. Leadoff batter Jung Soobin reached base with a hit to center field. When Park Chan-ho hit a ground ball to the pitcher, Jung Soobin advanced to second base. Subsequent batter Son A-seop drew a walk on a straight pitch. Cameron then hit a sacrifice fly to center field, bringing Jung Soobin home from second base. Doosan continued to load the bases with a hit to center field by Kim Min-seok. Yang Seok-hwan then drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to center field, making the score 2-0.

LG mounted a comeback in the bottom of the third inning. With two outs, Song Chan-ui reached base with a double to right-center field. He scored when Park Hae-min followed with a sacrifice fly to right field.

Then, in the bottom of the fifth inning, a single powerful hit turned the game around. With no runners on base and two outs, Gu Bon-hyeok drew a walk. Song Chan-ui, who had previously recorded a single and a double, then attacked Benjamin's first pitch and launched a two-run home run over the left-field wall. This was the moment LG took a 3-2 lead. Song Chan-ui appeared as the leadoff batter again in the bottom of the eighth inning and hit a single to center field, completing his four-hit game.

LG starting pitcher Lee Jeong-yong earned his first win of the season in his 16th appearance, pitching five innings while allowing four hits, one walk, striking out one batter, and giving up two earned runs. Following him, Rios pitched two scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out one batter. Kim Jin-seong and Son Ju-young then came in to secure the team's victory. In the lineup, which generated a total of five hits, Song Chan-ui delivered a one-man show with four hits in four at-bats (one home run), two RBIs, and two runs scored. His performance was just one triple short of a cycle.

Doosan starting pitcher Benjamin took his sixth loss of the season (with three wins), pitching six innings while allowing four hits (including one home run), two walks, striking out four batters, and giving up three earned runs. He was followed by Kim Dong-ju (one inning), Park Chi-guk (two-thirds of an inning), and Lee Byung-hun (one-third of an inning). In the lineup, which generated a total of seven hits, Jung Soobin, Cameron, and Kim Min-seok each recorded multi-hit performances.
