Lotte Giants' backside created a one-point reversal. The Doosan Bears cried for two consecutive days due to errors and sloppy defense.

Lotte won the 7-4 come-from-behind victory in Game 2 of the weekend series against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th, showing off its hindsight that started with '8 of Promise'.

With this victory, Lotte recorded its 16th win of the season (12 losses and 1 draw), showing off its stormy run of 14 wins in April alone. It is the third consecutive victory following two consecutive wins against the Hanwha Eagles in China. The LG Twins, who had been dominating as a `absolute first-place team,' also came into view.

On the other hand, Doosan self-destructed for two consecutive days with disappointing defense as if it had lost all of its 'Dusan' and 'Winning DNA'. The ranking, which rose to the mid-range for a while, is likely to fall back to the bottom.

On the same day, Lotte played in the lineup of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Reyes (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first base), Jeon Joon-woo (left wing), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Ko Seung-min (second base), Son Ho-young (third base), and Jeon Min-jae (striker). The first choice is Na Kyun An.

Doosan faced off with Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Cave (right wing), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Kang Seung-ho (third baseman), Oh Myung-jin (second baseman), Kim Min-seok (left wing), Kim Ki-yeon (catcher), and Park Joon-young (striker). The first choice is Jack Rogue.

Yang Eui-ji, the captain and key offense and defense player of Doosan, was absent the day before due to side pain. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop, who met before the game, said, `It's all my responsibility for Kim Jae-hwan's poor running, who turned a blind eye to five errors that led to Oh Myung-jin, Kang Seung-ho, Kim Ho-joon, Park Ji-hoon and Park Chi-guk the previous day. There was a lack of staff. The criticism was not hidden from me, saying, "Please cheer for the players who did their best."

While Son Ho-young, who hit 18 home runs last year, suffered a slump at the beginning of the season, Na Seung-yeop stood tall as the fourth batter this year as he showed a big shot. Regarding Na Seung-yeop, who hit his sixth home run of the season the previous day, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `This year is different from last year. He formed his own zone on the high side and wielded it with confidence," he praised.

Doosan had a good start. While Jack Rogue pitched happily every inning, Lotte's Na Kyun-an continued his sweaty pitching by advancing the runner to the scoring position in every inning. He allowed three runs on six hits, one hit-by-one ball and three walks. In four ⅓ innings, the number of pitches reached 85.

Doosan also scored the first point. In the bottom of the second inning, third baseman Son Ho-young's error allowed the runner to get on base, and Doosan's Oh Myung-jin's timely hit occurred with one out and second base. Kim Min-seok and Kim Ki-yeon's consecutive hits made it 0-2, but he took a breather by catching Kim Min-seok at third base.

He managed to overcome repeated crises with two outs and runners on first and second bases in the bottom of the third inning and one out in the bottom of the fourth inning without losing a run. That was it. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Yang Seok-hwan, the first batter, allowed a hit to Kim Jae-hwan. The next batter Kang Seung-ho's deep right-center hit was handled as a fly ball, but it was thanks to Lotte center fielder Hwang Sung-bin's desperate run and a sliding catch. The game could have ended. Song Jae-young, who was put in as the second pitcher, allowed one run with a ground ball to the second base, and Na Kyun-an lost three runs. It was a relief compared to the game.

Lotte was tied up with just one hit until the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth inning, he had a chance to get the first and second bases with no outs, but failed to score due to a failed follow-up hit.

However, the counterattack began in the sixth inning. After one out, Yoon Dong-hee got on base with a double on the left-field line, and Reyes' infield hit made it to first and third bases with one out. Na Seung-yeop struck out, but Yoon Dong-hee was safe at home with an exquisite double steal and followed one point.

In the seventh inning, after two outs, Son Ho-young got on base with a double on the left-field line, and Jeon Min-jae, who almost suffered an ankle injury in the previous defense situation, overcame the shock and hit a timely hit. It's already a one point difference. Doosan's Zachlog was replaced with two runs in seven innings and 93 pitches.

8th inning of the promise met in a 2-3 deficit. It started with Yoon Dong-hee. He appeared as a leadoff hitter against Doosan's proud Kim Taek-yeon and got on base with an infield hit to shortstop.

Communication between Doosan center fielder Jung Soo-bin and left fielder Kim Min-seok was subtle when Reyes hit left-center. Jung Soo-bin sprinted a long distance and threw his whole body. However, the ball that fell while bending was brutally hit by the glove and flowed. Shortstop Park Joon-young caught the ball and sprayed it home, but the ball fell back and became a shortstop error. a 3-3 tie.

Na Seung-yeop didn't miss his second chance. He turned the game upside down with a timely hit that left the pitcher and left in front of the center fielder.

Lotte's winning formula has been activated. Jung Cheol-won neatly blocked the bottom of the eighth inning with a three-way error and roared hot.

Lotte's fire bat, which burst the bucket, was scary. When the team reached first and second bases with one out in the top of the ninth inning, Doosan even took out Lee Young-ha's card. However, Yoon Dong-hee hit an RBI wedge double. Kim Min-sung's infield ground ball and Na Seung-yeop's infield hit followed, adding two more points, and Lotte quickly ran to 7-3.

Lotte's closing pitcher Kim Won-joong came out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Park Joon-young of the Doosan Bears allowed consecutive hits and gave up one run. Still, he finished the game without any additional runs.
