LG Twins beat Doosan Bears in final Jamsil regular-season meeting

The LG Twins beat the Doosan Bears 7-5 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on October 7, 2026, in the rivals’ final regular-season meeting at the ground. The result secured LG at least fourth place in the Korea Baseball Organization standings ahead of the postseason, while Doosan’s fifth-place finish was confirmed. Jamsil is set to close after this season.

The distinction between the teams’ final meeting and the stadium’s final game matters. This was LG’s last regular-season home game at Jamsil, according to SBS News, but Doosan was still scheduled to host the Lotte Giants there on October 12. SBS reported that a new domed stadium is planned for the site. Its account did not establish a demolition or construction timetable.

How LG overturned Doosan’s five-run inning

LG took a 3-0 lead in the second inning when Lee Jae-won hit a three-run home run off Doosan starter Choi Min-seok. Yonhap News Agency reported that the ball traveled nearly 144 metres to straightaway centre field and struck the batter’s eye. The early lead did not last: Doosan scored all five of its runs in the top of the third, with every run coming after two outs.

In Yonhap’s account, An Jae-seok drove in Doosan’s first run with a single. Kim Min-suk then hit a two-run single to tie the game, and Kang Seung-ho’s single brought home two more runners for a 5-3 Bears lead. LG answered in the bottom of the inning. Moon Bo-gyeong hit a two-run single after two singles and a walk had loaded the bases, bringing the teams level at 5-5.

LG starter Im Chan-kyu allowed five runs in five innings but received the win. SBS reported that it was his 15th victory of the season, putting him alone at the top of the league’s wins list at the time of its report. The KBO scoreboard lists Im as the winning pitcher and Choi as the loser. Four LG relievers limited Doosan to one hit over the final four innings, according to Yonhap, protecting the two-run margin.

What the result settled in the KBO standings

LG’s win meant it could finish no lower than fourth, according to Yonhap, although third place remained within reach. KIA stayed third after beating Lotte 12-4 on the same day, a result recorded on the KBO scoreboard. Yonhap reported that KIA stood at 76 wins, 62 losses and two ties after that game, with LG at 77 wins, 63 losses and one tie. The final order between the clubs was therefore still unresolved on October 7.

Doosan, meanwhile, was locked into fifth place at 73 wins, 65 losses and five ties, Yonhap reported. Under the postseason format described by Yonhap and SBS, the fourth- and fifth-place teams meet in the wild-card round; the third-place team goes directly to the first round. That difference gives LG’s remaining pursuit of third place a clear consequence, even though its place in the postseason was already secure.

Yonhap said LG had three games remaining and KIA had four, including a meeting between the two clubs on the season’s final day. Those were the schedules reported on October 7, not later results. The available accounts establish neither the eventual third-place finisher nor the teams’ postseason opponents beyond the implications of their positions at that point.

Jamsil’s remaining game and planned replacement

The two Seoul clubs marked their final regular-season matchup at their shared stadium with a group photograph on the field before the game, SBS reported. Yonhap described LG’s players bowing to their fans afterward. Those moments accompanied the end of the Twins’ regular-season schedule at Jamsil, rather than the immediate end of baseball at the venue.
