Park Se-woong's reputation, called the 'Rainman', has been reaffirmed every day he takes the mound. Dark clouds covered the sky from the morning, and fairly thick raindrops were sprayed just before the game began, making baseball fans who filled the field for the holiday season anxious. Blue raincoats rippled in the stands, but fortunately, the play ball was played at the scheduled time without delay.
At 3:23 p.m. that day, all 22,669 tickets at Sajik Stadium were sold out. It is the fifth consecutive day of the Children's Day holiday and the last six consecutive home games of Lotte Sajik.
It is a new record for Lotte's own home games, which sold out for four consecutive games from June 2 to 10, 2012. Lotte has sold out in 10 of its 19 home games this season.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game, was fed up with the injury nightmare of raising his head again. Hwang Sung-bin was eliminated from the first team after being diagnosed with a broken ring finger during the sliding process of the first base the previous day. Barnes, the first starter who recently went down to the second division due to poor performance, was also found to have fine damage to his lower shoulder muscles.

In particular, regarding Barnes' absence, head coach Kim Tae-hyung expressed his intention to leave it to Lee Min-seok, who scored six runs in five innings the previous day. He gave a high score to his five innings.
SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said of White's successful eight innings the previous day, "I have never seen a game this comfortably until the eighth inning."," he said with a smile. He then asked young fielders such as Jung Joon-jae and Ko Myung-jun to work hard.
Lotte announced a pleasant start when Yoon Dong-hee hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning. On the second pitch in the ball count of 1B0S, he did not miss SSG Moon Seung-won's 144km fastball in the middle. The flying distance was 120 meters and the batting speed was 168,9 kilometers.

In the fourth inning, veteran Jung-hoon hit a two-run timely hit in the second and third bases with one out, which was made with an opponent's error, Jeon Joon-woo's walk, and Son Ho-young's sacrifice bunt, bringing down SSG starter Moon Seung-won.
In the fifth inning, with one out and one on the first base, Reyes fired his second shot of the season against SSG's second pitcher Kim Gun-woo, widening the gap to 6-0. He didn't miss the 131km changeup, which is high in the middle of the ball count 2B2S.
While the batters piled up points one by one, Park Se-woong kept the mound firmly. One runner got on base in the first, second and fourth innings, but it did not lead to a crisis. In the third inning, he struck out Han Yu-seom in a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second bases. In the 5th and 6th episodes, three-way withdrawal. In the seventh inning, he induced a double play with one out and a runner on the first base and then went down the mound in a good mood.
