"I think today's victory will give all the players confidence."

The collaboration between foreigners and trusted hitters who made a successful debut, and the vitality of Young Guns, on top of that, protected the team's victory.

In the first game of the season against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th, Lotte Giants won a three-to-two, one-run victory after a bloody battle in the 11th inning.

It was a valuable victory to forget the second consecutive victory against LG in the last opening series. 'The cannon squad' struggled with SSG, but won by a long shot.

He easily scored the first point in the top of the first inning, but allowed SSG Ha Jae-hoon to score an equalizer in the top of the third inning. In the top of the fifth inning, Information-geun hit a timely hit again and led 2-1, but he failed to draw a score even after achieving four consecutive innings of leadoff hitters in the top of the 7th to 10th innings.

In the meantime, he allowed another tie. Following Jung Chul-won's one-inning pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning, Kim Won-joong took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning, but he was hit by SSG Herredia in the middle of the game.

Still, it was a day when Lotte won. After overcoming the extended crisis, Yoon Dong-hee's ball in the top of the 11th inning was also caught by SSG third baseman Park Ji-hwan's good defense, but he was blessed with a bad pitch and took a chance to second base with no outs. Son Ho-young's final hit followed the sacrifice bunt.

In the following one out and runners on the first and second bases, Information Geun's double play came out again, but Park Jin endured the crisis of one out and runners on the first and second bases without losing a point in the bottom of the 11th inning and won the game.

After the game, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said "I would like to thank Lotte Giants fans for their enthusiastic support despite the cold weather."
