Kiwoom Heroes triumph 6-3 over LG Twins in battle of home runs

Two home runs each for the LG Twins and the victorious Kiwoom Heroes finished the ballgame at 6-3 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Friday evening.

Kim Ha-seong pounced to steal second base in the bottom of the first inning, and Park Dong-won's home run minutes later provided safe passage the rest of the way home. Lee Jung-hoo from first base came in to score on that blast as well to put the Kiwoom Heroes 3-0 up.

The bottom of the second inning was Kim Ha-seong's turn to hit the three-run homer, brining in Kim Hye-sung and Park Joon-tae to score.

After a scoreless third inning, Roberto Ramos was second at-bat in the fourth and with Chae Eun-sung on first base, he smacked the baseball just over the fence - as confirmed by an instant replay review by the umpires.

That put the LG Twins on the board at 6-2, and it was to be the Mexican-born 2014 Colorado Rockies' draft pick to bring that up to 6-3. His solo home run at the top of the final inning undoubtedly cleared the fence, but alas could not make much difference to the final outcome.

Lim Chan-gyu of the LG Twins was the losing pitcher, while Choi Won-tae's earned run average of 2.57 led the Heroes to victory.
