The LG Twins, led by Moon Bo-kyung's thrilling three-run home run in the bottom of the 8th inning, defeated the Doosan Bears and secured the 'Winning Series.'

On the 20th, LG secured a 4-2 comeback victory over Doosan in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game held at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

With this win, LG recorded 44 wins and 26 losses, taking sole possession of first place in the league. Having won the previous day (19th), LG secured the 'Winning Series' with two consecutive victories. Meanwhile, Doosan recorded 34 wins, 2 draws, and 35 losses.

For the day, LG set its starting lineup in the following order: Hong Chang-gi (right fielder), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Song Chan-ui (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Moon Sung-ju (left fielder), Park Dong-won (catcher), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman). The starting pitcher was Im Chan-kyu.

In response, Doosan set its starting lineup in the following order: Jeong Soobin (center fielder), Ryu Seung-min (left fielder), Cameron (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Kim Min-seok (designated hitter), Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Ahn Jae-seok (third baseman), and Lee Yu-chan (second baseman). The starting pitcher was Kwak Bin.

Both teams were held scoreless through five innings due to strong pitching performances by Im Chan-kyu and Kwak Bin.

Doosan was the first to break the tight '0' tie. In the top of the 6th inning, Doosan's offense began with Lee Yu-chan reaching base on a ground ball to right field. Following a sacrifice bunt by the next batter, Jeong Soobin, he advanced to second base. Then, Ryu Seung-min hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring a run to make it 1-0. Cameron followed with a ground ball to right field, putting runners on first and third. Yang Eui-ji then hit a sacrifice fly to center field, driving in another run. The score became 2-0.

LG immediately counterattacked. In the bottom of the 6th inning with one out, Park Hae-min hit a ground ball to left field, and Austin hit a ground ball to right field. Then, Moon Bo-kyung hit a two-run double that dropped just inside the left-field line. At this point, Doosan removed starting pitcher Kwak Bin and brought in Lee Yu-chan to the mound. Lee Yu-chan retired Song Chan-ui with a swinging strikeout, preventing further runs.

Then, in the bottom of the 8th inning, LG turned the game around with one powerful hit. The pitcher Doosan brought in was Kim Taek-yeon. Pinch-hitter Cheon Seong-ho reached base on a ground ball to left field, and advanced to second base on Park Hae-min's sacrifice bunt. The next batter, Austin, drew a walk. Then, Moon Bo-kyung, with a 1-1 count, hit a three-run home run on the third pitch, a fast ball that soared over the center-field wall. The score became 4-2. Ultimately, LG closed out the game with a victory after bringing in Son Ju-young to the mound in the 9th inning.
