‘0:9→15:11’ 뒤집기 쇼…한화, LG 꺾고 6연패 끝
On July 21, 2026, the KBO League's ELG (LG) TwinStars faced off against Hanwha Life at the Hanwha Life Sports Complex in Daejeon. Initially trailing 0-9, Hanwha managed to turn the tables and secure a 15-11 comeback victory. The team's perseverance stemmed from their 6-game losing streak, which had pushed them down to 8th place.
Despite starting pitcher Brocks Jumerman struggling with only one strikeout, rookie right-hander Joon-myung Kwong stepped up with 6 strikeouts, 3 walks, and 7 hits allowed over 4⅓ innings, helping to contain the ELG offense.
Hanwha's rally began in the fourth inning, as they scored 2, 3, and 3 runs in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings respectively, tying the game at 11-11. Throughout the game, the Hanwha lineup remained untouchable, with players such as Il-gwan Lee, Im-mun Yu, Jo-dong Woo, and Sack-won Park contributing error-free performances. In the eighth inning, Kim Tae-yeon's single advanced runners to score Hanwha's second run, followed by a double from Mun-hyun Bin to drive in the game-winning run. Han Ji-un delivered a clutch hit to complete the scoring.
The 20 hits Hanwha collected in the game set a KBO League record for the largest margin of victory (9 points). This achievement ties them with the 2013 SK Wyverns vs. 2013 Doosan Bears game, which also featured a 10-point reversal. KIA Tigers fell to 4th place after suffering two consecutive shocking defeats, while ELG endured their second consecutive shocking loss, dropping to 6th place. The recent five-game winning streak for ELG has them hot on the heels of leaders KT and SSG, with both teams tied at 3-3.
