It was an uphill victory. Still, Son Ho-young, the protagonist of the final hit, looked bright.
The Lotte Giants won the first game of the week series against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th, with Son Ho-young's winning shot in the top of the 11th inning.
The game that predicted victory by leading 2-1 until the bottom of the ninth inning with one out. Starter Davison, who made his first appearance, stood out in seven innings with one run. However, SSG Eredia's equalizer in the bottom of the ninth inning plunged the ground into chaos.
The players of both teams worked on the extension with all their minds. Son Ho-young, whom I met after the game, said "It's okay. You can do it again. The game is not over. I tried not to be swayed"I looked back.
That's how the opportunity came again. SSG left the 10th and 11th innings to Cho Byung-hyun.
In the top of the 11th inning, leadoff hitter Yoon Dong-hee's ground ball to the third base, SSG third baseman Park Ji-hwan pulled up with a great diving catch. But I was in a hurry, so I made a bad pitch to the first base. In the record, he made one hit, one mistake, and second base with no outs.

"I went in with the intention of hitting it out unconditionally. The manager 'The timing was too fast in the previous at-bat, and the left shoulder opened quickly. Look at the center and hit it. It was a timely hit to try to hit it while looking at the center even a little bit with that mind. I didn't aim for a forkball. It was helpful to listen to the coach and watch the ball a little more. Otherwise, I think it would have been a swing and miss."
Son Ho-young "I didn't think I'd get caught. I should've fallen for itWhile emphasizing ", the 2nd consecutive game (loss) of Jamsil was too difficult. That's why I feel better today." He was caught by LG third baseman Moon Bo-kyung's diving catch during the match against LG in Jamsil on the 23rd. Unlike usual, he was also seen greatly disappointed.

It was a tight game until the end. In the bottom of the 11th inning, Park Jin well prevented the crisis with one out and runners on the first and second bases.
"I persisted with the determination that the outcome was fixed. I tried not to be nervous. This is the beginning. Isn't today's hit a signal. I want to play well tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
