A nuclear bomb exploded at the plate, while water bombs rained down to cool the fervor in the home cheering section. The LG Twins surged ahead with three consecutive victories fueled by explosive hitting.<\/p>\n

On the 26th, LG secured an 8-0 dominant victory over NC Dinos in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League home game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul.<\/p>\n

After enduring a slump with eight consecutive losses in the second half, LG has now won three straight games to finish with 63 wins, 50 losses, and one tie, maintaining sole possession of third place. Meanwhile, NC, who fell into a four-game losing streak, remained in eighth place with 48 wins, 58 losses, and two ties.<\/p>\n

LG set its starting lineup for the day as Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Song Chan-ui (left fielder), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Koo Bon-hyuk (shortstop), Park Dong-won (catcher), and Hong Chang-gi (right fielder). Lim Chan-kyu started on the mound.<\/p>\n

NC countered with Kim Ju-won (shortstop), Kwon Hee-dong (right fielder), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Blaine Crim (first baseman), Park Geon-woo (designated hitter), Lee Woo-seong (left fielder), Kim Hwi-jip (third baseman), Kim Hyung-jun (catcher), and Cheon Jae-hwan (center fielder).

\"LGLG Twins Lim Chan-kyu started on the mound during the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League home game against NC Dinos at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the 26th, delivering a strong performance.<\/p>\n

After a thrilling extra-inning victory the previous day, LG carried its momentum into the early stages of the game. In the bottom of the first inning with two outs, Austin aggressively targeted a forkball from Koo Chang-mo that was called for a ball in a 2-0 count. The ball soared over the left-field fence at a blistering speed of 179.1 km\/h \u2014 his 34th home run of the season.<\/p>\n

Continuing its “2026 Summer Holic” event, LG delighted fans by unleashing streams of water starting from the first inning.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the second inning, LG seized control early. Song Chan-ui, leading off against Koo Chang-mo’s 143.9 km\/h fastball, smashed it again at 173.1 km\/h, sending it over the left-field fence once more.<\/p>\n

With two outs, the team maintained focus. Park Dong-won drew a walk, Hong Chang-gi singled to center field setting up the bases, and Shin Min-jae launched a triple down the gap between left and center field, scoring both runners. Park Hae-min then added an RBI single to left field, extending the lead to 5-0.<\/p>\n

On the mound, starter Lim Chan-kyu shone brightly. He retired all three batters in both the first and second innings. In the third, he recorded two strikeouts before allowing a hit-by-pitch to Cheon Jae-hwan for his first baserunner of the game, but he got Kim Ju-won out with a fly ball to center field, maintaining a scoreless inning.<\/p>\n

In the fourth, after allowing a single to Blaine Crim with two outs, Lim walked Park Geon-woo, facing his first scoring opportunity of the day. Lee Woo-seong’s sharp line drive headed toward left field, but Hong Chang-gi slipped and managed to knock the ball away.<\/p>\n

Lim finished the fifth inning without major trouble. For the first time that day, he allowed a runner to reach third base, but he calmly handled NC’s key hitters Blaine and Park Geon-woo with routine groundouts to end his outing.<\/p>\n

The scoreless streak continued from the third through sixth innings, but LG shifted momentum in the seventh by targeting reliever Choi Yo-han. Hong Chang-gi reached on an infield single, and when Shin Min-jae bunted, third baseman Shin Jae-in failed to field the ball cleanly, resulting in no outs with runners on first and second. Park Hae-min was retired on a groundout to shortstop, but Austin then crushed a high 142.6 km\/h fastball over the left-field wall for a three-run home run \u2014 his fifth multi-home run game of the season and his 35th of the year.<\/p>\n

After Lim Chan-kyu completed six scoreless innings, Woo Kang-hun entered in the seventh and Kim Young-woo in the eighth to cleanly close out their respective frames. In the ninth, Lee Jeong-yong came on to secure a perfect victory. With this win, Lim improved his record to 12 wins (4 losses), tying Doosan Bears’ Choi Min-seok for first place in the league in wins.<\/p>\n
