LG Avoids 18-Year Losing Streak Record with 9-Game Win; 'O Jae-hyun' Trio Combines for 4 Home Runs [Yesterday's Pro Baseball]

The LG Twins finally broke their eight-game losing streak, securing a hard-fought 15-11 victory against the Hanwha Eagles. This win prevented the team from falling into a nine-game losing skid, a fate they narrowly avoided for the first time in 18 years since June 2008. The game was a high-scoring affair, with LG initially leading 4-0 before Hanwha rallied to take a 5-4 lead in the second inning. LG responded with a nine-run outburst in the fourth inning, establishing a commanding 13-5 lead that ultimately secured their victory.

In other KBO action, second-place KT Wiz continued their impressive run, extending their winning streak to nine games with a 6-1 triumph over the Lotte Giants. KT's starting pitcher, William Cuevas, delivered a strong performance, and the offense provided ample support. Meanwhile, league leaders Samsung Lions came from behind to defeat the Doosan Bears 4-1, with Gu Ja-wook driving in the go-ahead runs with a triple. Samsung's victory allowed them to maintain their 2.5-game lead over KT in the standings.

The Kia Tigers also ended a three-game losing streak, defeating the last-place Kiwoom Heroes 9-5. Na Sung-bum hit a three-run homer early in the game, and new acquisition Ha Ju-seok contributed with a double and an RBI. In the final game of the day, the SSG Landers defeated the NC Dinos 10-4, marking their fourth consecutive win. The game featured multiple home runs for SSG, including a three-run shot from Ahn Sang-hyun.
