The KT Wiz of professional baseball beat the champion LG Twins to earn an opening day win.
On the 28th at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, in the 2026 KBO League opener against LG, KT exploded for 18 hits of all types to win 11-7. KT set a rare feat as the sixth team in history whose entire starting lineup recorded hits on opening day.
KT rookie Lee Kang-min collected three hits, tying the record for most hits by a high school–draftee rookie in an opening day game. Kim Hyun-soo matched the all-time opening day record for most hits (20). KT starter Matt Sauer earned his first win after allowing three runs on five hits (one home run), five walks and one strikeout in five innings.
In the top of the first with two outs and runners on first and second, KT's Lee Jung-hoon hit an RBI single as Ahn Hyunmin and Kim Hyun-soo in the dugout celebrated. Mar. 28, 2026
