Ha Ji-won, who took the mound as the victory goddess for the first time in 18 years, threw a pitch that struck KT leadoff hitter Choi Won-jun hard on his right thigh.

It was the moment when scenes from the movie '7th Light' swirling in his mind vanished.

On the 16th, at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium, KT defeated LG 4-3 in a regular-season away game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

Starting pitcher Logan secured his first win after much struggle.

At the plate, Choi Won-jun, the protagonist of the 'pitch during ceremonial first throw incident', hit a three-run home run over the Jamsil fence in the bottom of the second inning to celebrate KT's fourth consecutive victory.

KT closer Park Young-hyun displayed his signature composure by allowing bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the ninth, then seized the opportunity for a roar.

With this win, third-place KT, which has won four straight games including three in the first half, improved to 47 wins, 1 tie, and 35 losses, narrowing the gap with second-place LG (52 wins, 34 losses) to 2.5 games.
