Lotte won the away game against the Samsung Lions 4-3 at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 20th. Lotte had its 13th win (one draw and 11 losses) of the season. Samsung had 12 wins and 12 losses in the season.
Samsung and Lotte set up three consecutive games in Daegu on the weekend as a `classical series' and both teams made `the venue for the festival.' All three consecutive games were sold out, and hot interest continued.
Lotte, which won on the first and last days, decorated the three consecutive games with a winning series.
Both teams were able to create a more solid lineup as the injured returned. Samsung was listed as the No. 1 hitter and center fielder when Kim Ji-chan returned. Samsung made the starting lineup in the order of Kim Ji-chan (middle fielder), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Koo Ja-wook (left fielder), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Kim Heon-gon (right fielder), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), and Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman).
For Lotte, Son Ho-young is back. Hwang Sung-bin (middle fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Yoo Kang-nam (possession) and Jeon Min-jae (striker) started.

Lotte took the lead in the top of the second inning. Leading hitter Na Seung-yeop hit a home run over the fence in the middle with Hurado's grit. Following Yoon Dong-hee's hit after one out, Yoo Kang-nam crossed the left-center fence after a full count game to nine pitches, widening the score to 3-0.
Lotte, which rode the flow, created chances on the first and third bases again with hits by Hwang Sung-bin and Ko Seung-min after two outs, but failed to score additional points as no follow-up hits continued.
In the bottom of the third inning, Samsung went in pursuit. Leading hitter Kim Young-woong drew a walk, followed by Ryu Ji-hyuk's double and Kim Ji-chan's ground ball 1-3.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Samsung brought the game to square one. Na Kyun-an went down the mound and Park Jin-hyung came up with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. Samsung's Park Byung-ho drew a walk, and Kim Hun-gon's hit gave them a chance to take the first and third bases. Lotte replaced the pitcher again with Chung Hyun-soo, but Kim Young-woong's hit allowed a run. After Ryu Ji-hyuk struck out, Kim Ji-chan got on base with a hit ball, and Lotte replaced the pitcher with Park Si-young again. However, as Lee Jae-hyun drew a straight walk from his at-bat, he lost a point by pushing away, and eventually the score was 3-3 balanced.
