Seo Geon-chang is trying to revive his season after a difficult run that had left the 37-year-old second baseman facing the threat of retirement.

The Kiwoom Heroes veteran started as the leadoff designated hitter against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 8th. He went 2-for-5, drove in one run and scored another as Kiwoom won 8-3.

Seo had been struggling over his previous five games, batting .111 with two hits in 18 at-bats. His multihit performance against LG suggested he had begun to recover his form.

The comeback has raised the possibility of Seo challenging for a Golden Glove award again, 10 years after his previous pursuit.
