Lotte's first! Kim Won-joong, who achieved 150 saves in his career, was celebrated with a cool water ceremony.

Lotte won the game against Hanwha 6-3 at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 18th. Lotte, which blocked No. 1 Hanwha's six-game winning streak, escaped from its second straight loss.

Kim Won-joong, who took the mound with two outs in the top of the eighth inning with his team leading 6-3, struck out Hanwha's No. 5 hitter Chae Eun-sung in just three pitches to end the crisis neatly.




Kim Won-joong, who continued to keep the mound in the ninth inning, struck out Lee Sang-hyuk, grounded out Lee Do-yoon in front of the pitcher, and played Hwang Young-mook with a fly to center field to complete the 6-3 victory.

At the historic moment when Kim Won-joong achieved 150 saves in his career, head coach Kim Tae-hyung and captain Jeon Joon-woo came out with a bouquet of flowers to congratulate him in the dugout. Fellow players then poured cold water filled with ice boxes to Kim Won-joong, celebrating Lotte's first 150 saves.
