SSG Landers completed their winning series against the LG Twins.

On the 16th, SSG secured a decisive 6-0 victory over LG in an away game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium during the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League'.

With this win, SSG avenged their loss from the previous day (the 15th), finishing the three-game weekend series with two wins and one loss to claim the winning series.

For today's game, SSG set its starting lineup in the following order: Jung Jun-jae (second baseman), Choi Ji-hoon (center fielder), Park Sung-han (shortstop), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Jeon Ui-san (first baseman), Han Yu-seom (right fielder), Madris (left fielder), Jo Hyung-woo (catcher), and Hong Dae-in (third baseman). Avila was the starting pitcher.

In response, LG constructed its batting order as follows: Park Hae-min (center fielder), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin Dean (first baseman), Moon Jeong-bin (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (catcher), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Lee Young-bin (third baseman), Lee Jae-won (left fielder), and Hong Chang-gi (right fielder). KARA S-co was the starting pitcher.

As expected from a matchup of foreign starting pitchers, the game unfolded as a pitching duel. The score remained 0-0 through four innings. It was SSG's bottom of the fifth offensive that broke the tense 0-0 deadlock. After Madris drew a walk to lead off and Jo Hyung-woo hit a double into left field with no outs, SSG loaded the bases with runners on second and third. Following one out, Jung Jun-jae smashed KARA S-co's first pitch for a two-run, inside-the-park double, driving in both runners to make it 2-0. Park Sung-han then added a single up the middle with an RBI, extending the lead to 3-0.

SSG's power surge exploded in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and no runners on base, Han Yu-seom stepped into the batter's box and connected with KARA S-co's second pitch (a 141.8 km/h two-seam fastball), launching a massive solo home run that soared over the center field wall at Jamsil Stadium for a distance of 136.3 meters. This was Han Yu-seom's second home run of the season and his back-to-back home runs in consecutive games. Following him, Madris also crushed KARA S-co's fourth pitch (a 134.8 km/h changeup), sending another solo home run over the right-field wall for a distance of 120.5 meters, completing back-to-back solo shots and completely dismantling KARA S-co. KARA S-co was eventually replaced by Kim Young-woo.

SSG added another run in the bottom of the seventh to seal the game. Facing reliever Kim Young-woo, Park Sung-han hit a double into right-center field with one out, and Kim Jae-hwan reached base on an infield single up the middle. An hit by Jeon Ui-san loaded the bases, and Han Yu-seom drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to left field, making it 6-0 and effectively ending the contest.

SSG's starting pitcher Avila earned the win with a stellar performance: seven innings, four hits allowed, eight strikeouts, and no runs surrendered. He was followed by Jeon Young-jun and Lee Geon-wook, each pitching one inning. Offensively, Madris, who played his farewell game today, went 3-for-3 with two hits (including one home run), two walks, and two RBIs, while Han Yu-seom added to the firepower with a 4-for-4 performance, three hits (one home run), and two RBIs.
