Lotte won the home game against the NC Dinos at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 2nd with a final score of 4-3.

It was a game that could have suffered a come-from-behind defeat. Lotte, which scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning, then continued its 2-0 lead without additional points, but the bullpen shook in the top of the eighth inning. Jung Chul-won, a must-win group, walked Han Seok-hyun, the first batter of the inning, and allowed Kwon Hee-dong to double, facing the crisis of the second and third bases with no outs.

The Lotte bench lowered Jung Cheol-won and put in Jung Hyun-soo. However, while Chung Hyun-soo induced Kim Joo-won to ground out to second base, third baseman Han Seok-hyun came home and failed to prevent the run.

Matt Davidson, the league's home run king last year, caught him with a fly to right field, but he couldn't get over the last hurdle. He automatically skipped Son Ah-seop to four pitches and chose to play against Seo Ho-cheol, but he was in trouble with his control. He finally allowed a 2-2 tie with the bases loaded and a walk. Subsequently, he gave up another point with a wild pitch and even turned the tables.

The big hit quickly passed by the first baseman and became a timely hit that flowed to the right field. Two runners scored, and Na Seung-yeop went to second base. It was a golden timely hit to make Lotte's 4-3 come-from-behind victory again. With Na Seung-yeop's timely hit, Lotte secured a valuable victory by finishing the game without additional runs in the top of the ninth inning.

Na Seung-yeop's decisive shot saved Lotte from the quagmire. If Lotte had lost on the same day, the atmosphere could have completely changed. Lotte almost suffered a fatal defeat due to a series of wins and a come-from-behind loss due to closer Kim Won-joong's blon save. But he didn't miss his last chance.
