Samsung won the game against Lotte 7-3 at Lions Park in Daegu on the 27th.
Samsung penetrated the weaknesses of Lotte's new foreigner Alec Gamboa, who made his debut, into the foot baseball and gained the upper hand.
Samsung, which microscopically analyzed the pitching motion of Gamboa, who took the test mound against Samsung in the Futures League on the 21st, came out thoroughly prepared.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man said of Gamboa before the game that `I heard a report that the ball was good. When we judge internally, there are also weaknesses, so we try to dig into some of those weaknesses. I prepared it like that to make young players run a little bit more."

I couldn't help but be conscious of the long shot. The shouting of Samsung fans, who filled Lapak, is also a part of my concern.
Everything is a strange KBO League debut. After the first inning of the search, Samsung started the second inning when it was 0-0.
Kang Min-ho, Park Seung-gyu's hit and Lee Sung-gyu's four pitches gave him a chance to load the bases with two outs.

Number 3, Kim Sung-yoon at bat. In 2B2S, while Lotte starter Gamboa had a unique pitching routine in which he folded his waist at 90 degrees in the set position and stayed for a long time, third baseman Lee Sung-kyu rushed home like a lightning bolt. Amid the enthusiastic roar of the Rafak crowd, Gam Bo-ah couldn't throw air-conditioning until Lee Sung-kyu slid home.

Samsung, leading 3-0, made it 4-0 when Kim Ji-chan quickly homered while Kim Sung-yoon was making a wild pitch at the batter's box. With the bases loaded with two outs, he scored four runs on just one hit. It was a head start created by Samsung's foot baseball, which dug into Gamboa's weakness in pitching form through microscopic analysis.
Samsung made it 7-1 in the seventh inning with Kim Sung-yoon's timely hit and Diaz's 21st superior two-run shot of the season leading 4-1.
Gamboa threw 89 pitches in four ⅔ innings on the day, allowing four runs with five hits, one walk and two outs. He scored as many as nine strikeouts with a fastball of up to 155km and a high-speed slider and curve of up to 145km, but four runs in the second inning left a fatal task.

He has won three consecutive games (4 losses) in six innings with eight hits, no four outs, three strikeouts, and one run. It took away the timing by mixing up to 149km fast balls, cutters, changeups, and curves. He sent out runners in every inning except for the fourth inning, but he minimized the crisis with a checker in the first inning and two decisive double plays in the third and sixth innings. Kim Tae-hoon, Bae Chan-seung, Kim Jae-yoon, and Baek Jung-hyun continued to throw to keep the victory.
Lotte had 12 hits more than Samsung, but only scored three points and suffered a disappointing loss. Reyes and Yoon Dong-hee's timely hits in the eighth inning chased down two points, but the score difference was wide. Jang Doo-sung Ko Seung-min Reyes, No. 1, 2, and No. 3, and Yoon Dong-hee, No. 5, actively moved in multi-hitters side by side, but were blocked by three decisive double plays.
Second pitcher Kim Kang-hyun's perfect pitching with two strikeouts in one ⅓ inning is comforting.Kim Jin-wook, who was called up on the day, left a regret with three hits and three runs in one inning.
