Sun's 1/pi series conjecture for S_n^{(2)}(1/11) and S_n^{(2)}(1/18)

From papers

Let

Sn(2)(x)=i=0nj=0n(ni)2(nj)2(i+ji)xi+j.S_n^{(2)}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^n\sum_{j=0}^n\binom ni^2\binom nj^2\binom{i+j}i x^{i+j}.

The two displayed series are conjectured to converge to the stated multiples of 1/π1/\pi. Sun's 1/pi series conjecture.

k=0(7k+1)Sk(2)(1/11)9k=544510439π\sum_{k=0}^\infty(7k+1)\frac{S_k^{(2)}(1/11)}{9^k}=\frac{5445}{104\sqrt{39}\,\pi}

and

k=0(1365k+181)Sk(2)(1/18)16k=13772π.\sum_{k=0}^\infty(1365k+181)\frac{S_k^{(2)}(1/18)}{16^k}=\frac{1377}{\sqrt2\,\pi}.

The source presents these as open conjectures motivated by Ramanujan-type series for 1/π1/\pi; no proof or resolution is supplied.
