LG, led by manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, defeated manager Lee Sung-yong's SSG Landers 4-1 at the home game of the 2025 professional baseball KBO League held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. LG, which ended its five-game losing streak, maintained its sole lead with 21 wins and 12 losses.안전놀이터
Moon Bo-kyung, who started as the fourth batter and third baseman, showed stellar performance. It was all the more meaningful in that he kept his promise with the head coach. Before the game, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop smiled and said to Moon, "Bokyung, let's do it. I have nothing to say." Then Moon replied, "I have nothing to say. I think I'm okay compared to last year when I was not good enough. I'll do my best."

After returning to shortstop to fly in the bottom of the first inning, Moon kept his word in the bottom of the third inning. With LG leading 1-0 at the first and second bases with two outs, he hit a 111 km curve ball on six pitches and scored a timely two-run homer to right-handed starter Kim Kwang-hyun. Later, he walked in the bottom of the fifth inning and grounded out to shortstop in the bottom of the eighth inning, leaving Moon Bo-kyung's report card with one hit and two RBIs in three at-bats.

After the game, Moon said, "I only saw fastballs (on five pitches) in three balls-1 strikes before hitting a hit. I think I swung at the ball (when the slider came in), but I tried to look at it similarly (on the sixth pitch). I think I got the timing right as soon as the curveball came," with a bright smile. "It's been a long time since I hit a timely hit (at the chance). I told the coach before the game that I would do well, but it's really good that I can keep that promise."

LG's recent slump has been attributed to its severe batting slump. LG only scored 11 points overall during its five consecutive losses. Fortunately, it was different on the day. It was not very explosive, but it showed off its concentration and provided an opportunity for a rebound.

"I think (our players including myself) did a great job early on," Moon said. "I think it was a cycle. I think we stood out even more because of consecutive losses. If the team had won, it would have been less obvious. I think it is a temporary decline in the cycle. If we break the losing streak, a good trend will come. I think I'll be able to play well in the future," he nodded.

As for his poor performance, he said, "I kept talking with my coach, and he said, 'I'm not as aggressive as I was in the beginning.' He said, 'There is no aggression or anything like that.' He said, 'Be more aggressive and confident.' He said, 'I'm too defensive because it doesn't fit,' and 'I'm getting smaller because I'm trying to get it too precise.' He said, "I try to spin it boldly, but sometimes my hand doesn't go out without realizing it," and added, "I think I've had a good balance since yesterday (2nd)."

The pre-match meeting was also of great help to the team's victory. "Everyone said in the pre-match meeting, 'There is a crisis. Let's not run away, let's struggle and get out of it,'" Moon said. "I think that helped me win today."

Lastly, Moon Bo-kyung said, "Rather than watching teams ranking second or third, we need to do well first. That way, we can keep our ranking. If you are too conscious, you will feel like you are being chased. I don't want to watch it because it might discourage you. If we do what we have to do, we will get good results," adding, "As the losing streak has been prolonged, I want to quit as soon as possible." "The hardest thing is to lose consecutive games. I love it. Now that I have lost consecutive games, I will win as much as I lost," he said.
