▲ Players from the Doosan Bears and LG Twins compete in the KBO League at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on October 7. In the bottom of the 5th inning with two outs and runners on first and second, LG's Lee Jae-won celebrates after hitting an infield single that leads to runs following an opponent throwing error.
The LG Twins secured at least fourth place in the regular season by winning their final game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
LG defeated the Doosan Bears 7-5 in their home game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul today (October 7).
Fourth-place LG improved to 77 wins, 62 losses, and 2 draws with a winning percentage of 0.554, widening their gap with fifth-place Doosan (73 wins, 65 losses, 5 draws, winning percentage 0.529) to 3 games.
Even if LG loses all of their remaining 3 games and Doosan wins their remaining 1 game, the two teams' rankings will not change.
Today's game held extra significance as it was LG's final regular-season game at Jamsil Stadium.
Jamsil Stadium will pass into history after this season, with a new domed stadium to be built in its place.
The final regular-season game at Jamsil Stadium this year will be played between the Doosan Bears and the Lotte Giants on October 12.
Before the game, players from both teams took a commemorative group photo on the field to mark their final matchup at the stadium.
LG took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Lee Jae-won hit a home run to center field with no outs and runners on first and second, set up by consecutive hits from Moon Jung-bin and Moon Bo-gyung.
However, starting pitcher Lim Chan-kyu struggled in the top of the 3rd, giving up 5 runs and allowing a comeback.
With two outs and a runner on second, Lim allowed consecutive hits to Ahn Jae-seok and Junior Severino, hit Yang Eui-ji with a pitch, and then gave up consecutive hits again to Kim Min-seok and Kang Seung-ho.
LG immediately mounted a chase.
After loading the bases with one out following consecutive hits from Song Chan-eui and Austin Dean and a walk by Moon Jung-bin, Moon Bo-gyung delivered a two-run single to right field to tie the game at 5-5.
The Twins reclaimed the lead in the 5th.
With two outs and runners on first and second following an infield single by Austin and a center-field single by Moon Bo-gyung, Lee Jae-won hit a ball that bounced off third base. Doosan third baseman Ahn Jae-seok fielded it with difficulty and committed a throwing error to first, allowing both runners to score.
LG then shut out their opponents for the remaining innings to close out the victory.
Although Lim Chan-kyu had a somewhat shaky outing with 6 hits, 4 strikeouts, and 5 runs allowed over 5 innings, he earned his 15th win (7 losses) of the season with the help of the team's offense, rising to sole possession of first place in wins.
Choi Min-seok, who had been competing with Lim for the title of most wins, took the loss after pitching 4.2 innings with 10 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, and 7 runs allowed. Falling to 14 wins and 5 losses, he drifted further from the wins title.
He will need to appear in the final game against Lotte on October 12 and pitch to a victory to keep any hopes of sharing the wins title alive.
