Lotte won the home game against the Hanwha Eagles 5-3 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 24th. Lotte avenged its defeat the previous day (12th) and harvested its 14th win (1 draw and 12 losses) of the season.
It stopped Hanwha's eight-game winning streak.
On this day, Lotte formed the starting lineup in the order of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Son Ho-young (third baseman), and Jeon Min-jae (striker).
In the top of the second inning, Park Se-woong struggled with the Hanwha lineup and began to be dragged away by allowing three runs. However, Yoon Dong-hee's solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning and a concentrated hit in the bottom of the sixth inning made a 4-3 comeback.
He sealed the game by scoring an additional point in the bottom of the eighth inning and succeeded in stopping Hanwha's nine consecutive wins.
Starter Park Se-woong overcame the hardship in the second inning and kept the mound until the sixth inning without allowing additional runs, and after that, Kim Sang-soo (⅓ innings scoreless), Jung Hyun-soo (⅔ innings scoreless), Jung Chul-won (⅔ innings scoreless), and Kim Won-joong (one ⅓ inning scoreless) came up one after another to protect the team's victory. Park had her fifth win (one loss) of the season.
