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.
On this day, Lotte's starting players Hwang Sung-bin (center 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 (catcher), and Jeon Min-jae (striker) participated. Son Ho-young returned after shaking off her internal oblique muscle injury.
Starting pitcher Na Kyun-an pitched well with one run in five ⅓ innings, but it was not easy.
Once, the bullpen distress was painful. Na Kyun-an was replaced with one out in the sixth inning with a 3-1 lead.
The results were not good. Park Jin-hyung, who came to the mound, gave up a walk by Park Byung-ho, and later got a hit by Kim Heon-gon. Chung Hyun-soo was replaced again and came up, but Kim Young-woong's timely hit gave him a point. After that, he struck out Ryu Ji-hyuk and got Kim Ji-chan on base with a hit ball. Park Si-young was put in to put out the urgent fire. However, a pushout walk made it a 3-3 tie, and Na Kyun-an's victory flew away. Park Si-young did not score an additional run as he grounded Koo Ja-wook to second base.
Although the 3-3 balance was achieved, Lotte took the lead in the eighth inning with Jeon Joon-woo's walk, Reyes's walk, and Na Seung-yeop's timely hit, eventually winning 4-3.
Following Na Kyun-an, Lotte's Park Jin-hyung (two runs in 0 innings), Jung Hyun-soo (⅓ innings scoreless), Park Si-young (⅓ innings scoreless), Jung Chul-won (one inning scoreless), and Kim Won-joong (one inning scoreless).

Coach Kim continued "Even in the bullpen, Jung Chul-won and Kim Won-joong threw well even in difficult situations. In the batting lineup, Na Seung-yeop was able to win by hitting the final hit, including a home run, showing his concentration," he said.
Lotte and Samsung decorated the three consecutive games in Daegu with a `classical series.' All three consecutive games were in full attendance, drawing keen attention. Director Kim said "Many fans of the classic series cheered for us, and I am grateful to the fans who came even in the cold weather today. I'll prepare well for next week's game against Hanwha" he said.
