A rare record came out at Lions Park.

It is the ninth triple steal of all time. Lee Sung-kyu, Kim Ji-chan, and Lee Jae-hyun collaborated with Kang Min-ho's insight and coach Lee Jong-wook's decision.

The situation came from Samsung's attack in the bottom of the second inning when it was 0-0. Samsung took a full base chance with two outs with Kang Min-ho, Park Seung-kyu's hit and Lee Sung-kyu's four pitches.




Kim Ji-chan scored the first point with a timely infield hit in front of the pitcher. While defending the other runner, third baseman Park Seung-gyu dug home, 2-0. Lee Jae-hyun walked after the game of eight pitches and loaded the bases with two outs again.

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 and stayed, third baseman Lee Sung-kyu rushed home like a lightning bolt. In the crowd's roar, Gamboa couldn't even throw the ball until Lee Sung-kyu slid home.

He made a late throw to Kim Ji-chan, who runs from second base to third base, but he is safe. In the meantime, first baseman Lee Jae-hyun also stole second base. It was the moment when the ninth triple steal of all time was completed.
