The Lotte Giants swept the series 7-1 in Game 3 of the Weekday Series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 17th.
With the victory, Lotte recorded its 11th win (10 losses and 1 draw) and dreamed of jumping to the top ranks with the Samsung Lions. On the other hand, Kiwoom ranked last with its 15th loss (7 wins).
The ideal baseball that Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung has drawn has unfolded. He took a comfortable lead in the beginning with running baseball using fast runners, and the starting pitcher was responsible for long innings without losing a point, giving the team a sense of stability. The batters also did not remain silent and steadily added points to solidify their victory.
Lotte has been on the rise by winning two consecutive games against Kiwoom until the previous day. Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game, said of Hwang Sung-bin's '3rd base-home continuous steal's running instinct, `That's Hwang's role and the team's expectations. I didn't do it because I was told to. The timing he caught himself," he said with his tongue sticking out. The synergy effect with Jang Doo-sung was also positively evaluated.

On the other hand, Kiwoom's 4th starting rookie Chung Hyun-woo left due to shoulder pain and became a `mountainous mountain.' He complained of shoulder clumping and was examined for inflammation. Kiwoom will give Chung Hyun-woo a rotation break while going through additional cross-checks. Jeon Jun-pyo will be the starting player for the game on the 18th.
The early atmosphere was divided by a mistake. Lotte took the lead in the bottom of the second inning by producing four runs and a big inning.
Leading hitter Na Seung-yeop hit a double, and Kiwoom's rookie third baseman Eo Jun-seo committed two errors at once when the next batter Yoo Kang-nam grounded out to third base. First, he failed to catch a ground ball, and fell back in the process of picking up the spilled ball and throwing it to third base. In the meantime, Na Seung-yeop stepped home and scored the first point.

He did not slow down his scoring by adding one run each in the fifth and seventh innings against Kiwoom's changed pitchers Kim Sung-min and Park Joo-sung. Reyes' double hit after one out in the fifth inning, and Na Seung-yeop's infield hit and Yoo Kang-nam's sacrifice fly made it 5-0. In the sixth inning, with two outs, Hwang Sung-bin's hit, steal, and Ko Seung-min's walk, Jeon Jun-woo's infield hit?? Hwang Sung-bin stepped home.
In the seventh inning, he added one more run with Jang Doo-sung's ground ball to the second base with one out and a bases loaded with a walk by Na Seung-yeop and Kim Min-sung and a hit by Jeon Min-jae.
Starting pitcher Park Se-woong's crazy pitching was also outstanding. Park Se-woong posted a total of 108 pitches, combining curves (30) and sliders (32) with up to 151km fastballs (35).

Park Se-woong struck out Lee Ju-hyung in the first inning to mark the start of the K-March. In the second inning, he struck out Kim Gun-hee, former Tae-hyun, Puig, three consecutive times with no outs and no outs. He overcame the scoring crisis well in the third and fourth innings, and struck out Lee Ju-hyung Cardinez in the fifth and sixth innings, Eo Jun-seo and Song Sung-moon. In addition, Jeon Tae-hyun and Eo Jun-seo were added one by one in the seventh inning, bringing the total number of strikeouts to 12.
Kiwoom recovered one run in the top of the eighth inning with a double by Cardinez-Kim Dong-heon against Lotte's third pitcher Kim Kang-hyun. Lotte put in Kim Sang-soo to cut off the opponent's flow, and Park Jin-hyung finished the top of the ninth inning well to complete the victory.
