Kiwoom Heroes manager Seol Jong-jin (53) praised the team's tenacious determination that led to a dramatic comeback victory in the bottom of the 8th inning. He expressed deep satisfaction with the performance of 'Veteran Leadoff' Seo Geon-chang (37), who batted first and went 4-for-4, driving the offense from the leadoff spot.

On the 12th at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, Kiwoom secured a thrilling one-run comeback victory over LG Twins in the '2026 Shinhan SOLKBO League' home game by scoring three runs all at once in the bottom of the 8th inning. It was a valuable win that perfectly avenged their loss the previous day (the 11th).

First, starting pitcher Jeon Jun-pyo delivered a solid performance, pitching five innings with one hit allowed, three walks, four strikeouts, and no runs scored. Yuto gave up two runs after allowing a home run in the top of the 8th inning, but relievers Park Jin-hyeong and Won Jong-hyun held the line without conceding further runs to close out the game well. Kim Sun-gi, who unexpectedly entered in the top of the 6th, also pitched effectively for 1⅔ innings without allowing any runs.

After the game, manager Seol Jong-jin commented: "The lineup immediately created a tying run after conceding one and relentlessly chased the lead. Leadoff Seo Geon-chang excelled with four hits, leading the offense. Following consecutive RBI singles by Kim Woong-bin and Davison in the 8th inning, the team maintained focus throughout to secure the comeback."

He also praised the pitching staff. Manager Seol stated: "Starting pitcher Jeon Jun-pyo held strong for five innings, fulfilling his role as starter. Kim Sun-gi, who entered at a critical moment, did his part well, and Won Jong-hyun, who faced tough situations, shut down the final inning without allowing runs to preserve the victory."

Finally, manager Seol added: "Thanks to the passionate support of our fans, we were able to win. We are grateful and will prepare well for tomorrow's game as well."
