A shot that set fire to the hearts of Incheon fans soaked in heavy rain. As expected, it was Eredia.

SSG Landers Herredia fired a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth inning of the first game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 15th. It is the first home run since returning from folliculitis in the thigh.

SSG was greatly poisoned after losing Choo Shin-soo's retirement ceremony the previous day. Even with ace Kim Kwang-hyun, he had to swallow his disappointment. On this day, he armed himself with the will of victory. The mound, where ace Anderson played, was overwhelmed in weight.

However, Lotte's starting pitcher Lee Min-seok did not easily collapse despite SSG's offensive. At the age of 22 and young this year, he was proudly reborn as one of the pillars of selection.

SSG blew the first horn with a leadoff hitter Jihoon Choi's double in the top of the first inning, but failed to score in the following two outs and third base. In the second inning, only one person got on base with a walk, and in the third inning, he was humiliated by striking out three consecutive batters.

In the fourth inning, Herredia and Ko Myung-joon had hits and Park Sung-han's walk gave them a chance to load the bases with one out. However, this time again, Cho Hyung-woo and Kim Sung-wook struck out due to the pressure of the ball. In the 5th episode, three-way exit.

The center of the SSG lineup was also Herredia. Heredia, who appeared as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning, hit Lee Min-seok's 148km fastball on the ball count 2B0S and crossed the left-center fence as it was. The distance is 120 meters.

He tasted it 81 days after the match against Lotte on March 25th and shot an equalizer in the top of the ninth inning against Lotte closer Kim Won-joong.

This is his second home run of the season and his first home run since returning from injury. Lotte Reyes, who had almost the same performance last year, is on the verge of winning the most hits this year, while Herredia faced the injury and sluggishness.

I let the disappointment go at once. Incheon, which held its breath in a fierce 0-0 pitching match, was filled with boisterous cheers at once. The game was already suspended due to one heavy rain, and the fans' chests were also wet, so it was a shot that tore the Incheon sky coolly. Lee Min-seok, who was playing well, was replaced after allowing Ko Myung-joon to double after one out.
