The SSG Landers delivered a thrilling walk-off victory by dismantling LG Twins closer Son Ju-young.

In a game against LG at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 30th, SSG came from behind to win 4-3 thanks to Jung Joon-jae's walk-off hit in the bottom of the 9th. LG fell into a four-game losing streak following the shocking defeat.

Starting pitchers Park Si-won (LG) and Kim Geon-woo (SSG) engaged in a tense pitching duel, keeping the score tied at 0-0 through five innings. The balance was broken in the top of the 6th. LG took advantage of a walk by leadoff hitter Gu Bon-hyuk and Austin's single to center field to reach first and second base with no outs. Following one out, Oh Ji-hwan hit a single to right off reliever Jeon Young-jun to score the go-ahead run.

Subsequently, when Jeon Young-jun dropped Song Chan-ui's ground ball to the pitcher, runner Austin from third base scored for an additional run. In the top of the 7th, Gu Bon-hyuk's single to center field extended LG's lead to 3-0.

However, SSG capitalized on Son Ju-young, who took the mound in the bottom of the 9th, as hits from Jeon Ui-san, Go Myung-jun, and Choi Ji-hoon loaded the bases with one out. After Jo Hyeong-woo's single to left field cut the deficit to two runs, a wild pitch by Son Ju-young during Park Sung-han's at-bat tied the game at 3-3. With runners on first and second and two outs, Jung Joon-jae hit a walk-off single through the gap in left-center field to seal the dramatic comeback victory. Son Ju-young suffered his first loss of the season (1 win, 30 saves).

Park Si-won, making his first appearance in two weeks, pitched five scoreless innings while allowing five hits but did not secure a win. He threw 74 pitches and issued only one walk. Although he faced dangerous situations with runners on first and third with two outs in the bottom of the 3rd, and runners on first and second with two outs in the bottom of the 4th, he struck out seven batters to prevent any runs from scoring.

Kim Geon-woo, who was aiming for his 10th win of his rookie season, recorded nine strikeouts over five innings but left without a decision after allowing three hits, three walks, and two earned runs.
