LG Twins beat Doosan 7-5 in final Jamsil rivalry game, keep third-place hopes
In short
LG Twins beat Doosan Bears 7-5 on Oct 7 at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium in the season's last Jamsil rivalry game, a match both reports tie to the stadium's farewell season. Chosun Ilbo reported LG secured at least fourth place and Doosan is confirmed fifth, while KIA's 12-4 win over Lotte left LG level with third-place KIA on games. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said he wanted to win the last home game at Jamsil and greet the fans.
Why it matters
The result settled the lower end of the Seoul rivals' standings — LG at least fourth, Doosan fifth — and closed the Jamsil rivalry in the stadium's final season, which one report says ends with the venue disappearing. The outcome also keeps LG in range of third place with the remaining schedule still to play. Beyond the KBO race, the documents give no wider significance.
