Kiwoom Heroes and LG Twins split back-to-back games in Seoul with high-scoring win and walk‑off homer

At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, the Kiwoom Heroes and LG Twins played two consecutive KBO matches that produced contrasting outcomes. On July 29, Kiwoom defeated LG 18‑11, delivering a marathon offensive display that included 23 hits and six extra‑base hits. Seogun Chang recorded five hits – his first five‑hit game in 3,324 days – while Austin Dean of LG hit his 30th home run of the season, a three‑run shot that placed him among a small group of foreign players with three straight 30‑hr seasons.

The previous day, July 28, saw LG turn the tables with a 5‑3 victory. Moon Jeong‑bin, a backup hitter turned key contributor, launched his 10th home run of the season – a game‑winning blast in the seventh inning – and finished the game with a .330 batting average and a 1.118 OPS, ranking among the league’s elite hitters. The win highlighted LG’s resurgence after a slump, while Kiwoom’s earlier dominant performance underscored the rivalry’s volatility.
