As many as seven hits, four walks, and nine runs poured out in just one inning. The LG Twins, who were relentlessly hammered, even made a mistake by incorrectly calling up the wrong pitcher for substitution.

On the 29th, during their regular-season home game against Kiwoom Heroes at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium, LG surrendered as many as nine runs in the bottom of the fifth inning alone.

It began with Kwon Hyuk-bin hitting a single to left field, Yeo Dong-wook drawing a walk, and Seo Geon-chang hitting a hit to center field, loading the bases. Relief pitcher Kim Jin-seong allowed An Chi-hong's hit and gave up a two-run, pinch-hit double to Davidson down the left-field line before being replaced by Woo Kang-hoon.

The new pitcher, Woo Kang-hoon, also struggled after allowing Park Chan-hyuk's two-run, pinch-hit single to left field. Lim Byung-wook and Kim Geon-hee then hit consecutive singles, loading the bases again. When Lee Hyung-jong hit a ground ball, Park Chan-hyuk stepped on home plate.

Woo Kang-hoon gave up another run due to a wild pitch and then allowed walks to Kwon Hyuk-bin and Yeo Dong-wook, once again facing a bases-loaded situation.

In the process, an embarrassing mishap occurred. Left-handed pitcher Kim Yun-sik, who had come out of the LG bullpen, headed toward the field but then returned. Another left-hander, Lee Woo-chan, took his place on the mound. To put it bluntly, this was a mistake caused by LG pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam's confusion.

At the time, an LG team official stated, "Coach Kim Kwang-sam should have called out Kim Yun-sik's name to the umpire, but as multiple pitcher substitutions were happening, he apparently misnamed Lee Woo-chan."

As a result, Lee Woo-chan indeed took the mound for LG. Kim Yun-sik, who had not thrown a single pitch, was sent back down and continued to wait in the bullpen.

Lee Woo-chan, who came into the game, allowed Seo Geon-chang's two-run, pinch-hit single to left field but managed to end the inning by inducing An Chi-hong into a ground ball to second base.

To make matters worse, LG suffered another injury setback. Conceding two more runs in the sixth inning, LG's Moon Jung-bin was replaced by Choi Won-young after being hit on the back of his hand by Kiwoom pitcher Kim Sun-gi's 143 km/h fastball in the bottom of the sixth with one out and runners on first and second.

An LG team official announced, "Moon Jung-bin is scheduled for a medical examination at a hospital due to a contusion on the back of his left hand."
