As of the regular innings (9 innings), Lotte scored only two points before the day. The desperate record of ranking ninth in team batting average and ninth in team OPS among the 10 clubs was a reality.

Lotte met Hanwha. The starting lineup, which leads to Ponce-Wise Ryu Hyun-jin, Um Sang-baek, and Moon Dong-ju, is at the top of the league, but the batting lineup is a more depressing team than Lotte, with its team batting average falling to the 10% level.

On this day, Lotte won its third win of the season (5 losses and 1 draw) by showing off its stable mound with a fire bat for the first time in a long time. On the other hand, Hanwha, which had three wins and six losses, changed its position with Lotte.

KBO League match between Hanwha and Lotte at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 2nd. Hanwha players and baseball fans pay silent tribute to the victims of the structural crash at Changwon NC Park on the 29th of last month. Daejeon =Song Jeong-heon Reporter's songs@sportschosun.com/2025.04.02/
Before the game, there was a silent tribute to the baseball fan who died after being caught up in the crash of the Changwon NC Park structure. The team, the judges, and baseball fans in the stands, wearing black ribbons, also paid silent tribute with regret in one mind. KBO designated April 1st to 3rd as an official memorial period, canceled the riot police on the 1st, and played only 4 games except NC Park on the 2nd to 3rd. The cheering squad is not supported by all four stadiums.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who met before the game, said of the accident at the NC Dinosaurs "Friendly Team "It's too bad. Something really bad has happened to the baseball community," he said, expressing his displeasure. Regarding starter Moon Dong-ju on the day, he also expressed confidence that `There were many batters who were good at Lotte, but it would be different from last year's Moon Dong-ju.'




Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung came out with a unique batting order called Jeon Joon-woo and Son Ho-young. He said "I don't think Jeon Jun-woo's number one is good, but he has a good timing to hit it. I will think about changing the batting order by looking at the other batters' conditions." About shortstop Han Tae-yang "has good qualities. The sense of following the first bound is good. However, he also commented that he lacks confidence.

Regarding the change in the starting rotation due to the cancellation of the previous day's game, Hanwha said "We will skip only the strict prize once." I asked for your understanding myself. The rest goes as it is." On the other hand, Lotte plans to handle the normal rotation, which has been pushed back by one day.

Lotte won the starting match for the first time in a long time, and won a pleasant victory as the batters exploded.

It was a good start from the beginning of the first inning. After one out, Son Ho-young's hit and Na Seung-yeop's double broke out, and Reyes' infield ground ball easily scored the first run.

The wall on the right side of Hanwha Life's Ball Park is a '8m'monster wall made of see-through media glass. Yoon Dong-hee was recorded as the sixth home run and the first batter to cross the Monster Wall since the opening of Ball Park.

Lotte's offensive did not wither easily. Yoo Kang-nam's walk, Lee Ho-joon's RBI triple and Jeon Jun-woo's sacrifice fly followed, making it 4-0 in an instant. Moon Dong-ju, who was hit in an instant, had to go down the mound with four runs in two innings and 42 outs, let alone the scheduled 80 pitches.

Shim Woo-joon and Hwang Young-mook started at first and second base with no outs. Shim Woo-joon homered and scored one point when Floral hit a ground ball with one out and runners on the first and third bases. Lotte also immediately had a full base chance against Hanwha Cho Dong-wook in the top of the fourth inning, but Son Ho-young's push-out walk allowed him to run one run.

Here, Shim Woo-joon made a bad pitch error on the first base when he hit a bunt, making it 5-2 and with no outs, first and third bases.
