The starting pitcher is Casey Kelly.
In fact, this is the lineup for the first game of KS held at Jamsil Stadium on November 7th. LG played a total of three Blue and White matches prior to the actual game on this day, and for the first time, the best 9 were on one team. Kelly also played his first real game since the Sajik Lotte game on the 4th. Behind Kelly, Lee Woo-chan pitched 1.2 innings, Jung Woo-young pitched 1 inning, and Kim Jin-soo pitched 1 inning. The game lasted only until the 7th inning.Managing Director Lee Jae-won (designated hitter) ~ Han Tae-yang (shortstop) ~ Heo In-seo (catcher) ~ Jo Se-jin (left fielder) ~ Park Seung-gyu (center fielder) ~ Kwon Dong-jin (third baseman) ~ Jeong Min-gyu (first baseman) ~ Lee Joo-hyung (right fielder) ~ Lee Hae-seung (2nd baseman) Baseman) was the lineup. Jaewon Lee joined the managing team and took a hit. Jaewon Lee had two at-bats as the number one designated hitter, and Beomseok Kim had one at-bat in the top of the sixth inning. Lee Sang-young took the mound as the starting pitcher. Following Lee Sang-young, Seong Dong-hyun pitched 2 innings. Park Joo-hyuk of Sangmu pitched one inning.
Kelly, who was on the mound for the first time after the regular season, played the game leisurely. He completed the pitch as planned, using four-seam, two-seam, curve, slider, and change-up evenly. He was only scheduled to throw 50 or fewer pitches, but he pitched 46, allowed 2 hits, 6 strikeouts, and 1 run in 3.1 innings (unaccounted for). The highest four-seam velocity was 145 km/h, and the highest two-seam velocity was 144 km/h, showing that he was preparing for a full-throttle pitch a week later.
In the batting lineup, Hong Chang-ki and Moon Bo-kyung recorded multiple hits. Three runs were scored in the bottom of the second inning, and Hong Chang-ki had a hit during this process as well. With 2 outs, Park Dong-won walked, and Moon Seong-ju reached base with a ball that hit his body, making 1st and 2nd bases with 2 outs. In a chance, Shin Min-jae's timely hit to the left took the lead. Then, Hong Chang-gi hit a timely hit to left with 2 RBIs. Hong Chang-gi hit a double in the bottom of the fifth inning, his third at-bat. Austin also hit a home run and has been recording hits consistently since the Icheon Blue and White match.Austin scored the 4th point. In the bottom of the 6th inning, Austin connected Seong Dong-hyun's 148 km fastball with a solo shot that went wide over the left-center wall. This is Austin, who hit a home run in two consecutive games following the Blue and White match on the 29th.
Sangmu reached base in the top of the 4th inning due to an error by Heo In-seo. Heo In-seo advanced to second base with a wild pitch, and Park Seung-gyu hit a timely double against Lee Woo-chan. He scored 2 runs against Jinsu Kim in the top of the 7th inning, his last attack. Starting with Jo Se-jin's double, Park Seung-gyu hit a timely hit. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd base, Joohyung Lee's sacrifice fly made it 3-4.
LG will face Sangmu at Jamsil Stadium on the 1st of next month. On this day, a matinee game will be held at 2 p.m. This schedule was planned considering that the 3rd and 4th KS games were held as day games after the night games.
