Kang Baek-ho, Noh Si-hwan Power Hanwha Eagles Past League Leaders LG Twins

The Hanwha Eagles secured a decisive 8-1 victory over the league-leading LG Twins, fueled by a powerful offensive display and stellar pitching. The win marks the Eagles' second consecutive victory and maintains their position above a .500 winning percentage.

Key to the Eagles' success was the potent hitting of their cleanup hitters. Kang Baek-ho ignited the offense with a go-ahead solo home run in the sixth inning and added a two-run blast in the ninth, accumulating a total of four RBIs. Noh Si-hwan further bolstered the score with a crucial two-run homer in the eighth inning.

On the mound, foreign ace Owen White was exceptional, shutting down the LG Twins' offense for seven innings. He allowed only four hits and one walk while striking out batters, throwing a career-high 111 pitches. White's dominant outing earned him his fifth win of the season against four losses.

The victory improves Hanwha's record to 39 wins, 38 losses, and 2 ties, while the loss halts the LG Twins' winning streak, leaving them with a 50-31 record.
