LG began its historic home run show in the first inning with a leadoff solo home run by Song Chan-eui.

Austin, batting third, hit his 21st solo home run of the season to take sole possession of the league lead in home runs. With Park Dong-won batting fifth and Moon Jeong-bin batting sixth, all four right-handed hitters launched massive solo home runs, each traveling over 130 meters. This marked the first time in professional baseball history that a team has hit four home runs in the first inning.

In the fifth inning, Moon Jeong-bin added another massive two-run home run that hit the batter's eye at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, becoming the player to hit the team's 4,000th franchise home run.

With this three-game sweep over Doosan, LG continues to lead the league with a three-game cushion.
