The LG Twins completed a sweep of their three-game Jamsil rivalry series against the Doosan Bears with a 1-0 victory, extending their winning streak to four games.
The game featured a dramatic ninth-inning appearance with LG holding a one-run lead. The reliever had already pitched on two consecutive days, saying he should get plenty of rest the next day, before returning to say he would throw three straight days instead. He protected the first professional win of a player eight years his junior.
LG took the lead in the fourth inning when Austin drove Doosan ace Kwak Bin's 157-kph fastball over the center-field wall for a massive 135-meter home run.
