With this victory, NC recorded its 33rd win (four breaths and 35 losses) this season, setting a bridgehead for a 50% win rate recovery and a mid-range leap forward.




On the other hand, Lotte, which had won four consecutive games and trailed the second-place LG Twins by 0.5 games despite difficult team conditions, suffered another setback on the path to the leap of top 2. In addition to being one step behind in the face-off between foreign starters, Na Seung-yeop's decisive error, who hit an RBI timely hit, was added. The moment he gave up the winning run, he didn't follow his luck.

On this day, Lotte played in the lineup of Kim Dong-hyuk (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (designated hitter), Victor Reyes (right wing), Jeon Joon-woo (left wing), Kim Min-sung (third base), Na Seung-yup (first base), Han Tae-yang (second base), Information-geun (catcher) and Jeon Min-jae (striker). The starter is Tucker Davidson.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game, praised Reyes, who is playing in the Jeon Kyung-gi game, and Captain Jeon Joon-woo, who missed only one game. Reyes and Jeon Jun-woo are in charge of both outfield every game as outfield resources run out due to string injuries. Nevertheless, he is a clean-up trio in the lineup and is the first to second in RBIs in the team.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `Neither of them say they are sick. It rained yesterday, so it was a good rest for the two players as well as the bullpen. Two players have to do it before Jang Doo-sung returns"I expressed my apologies and gratitude.

NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon wants to remain in the first team even after being hit by a 'headshot' dune on the 14th"The player with a lot of raw energy" was said to Choi Jeong-won, who remained stubbornly. Choi Jung-won has been running for every game since the next day. Manager Lee Ho-joon said, `Thanks to Choi Jung-won, the number of wins earned is more than three. He repeatedly praised No. 1 for the pinch runner and No. 1 for the outfield.




a face-off between two foreign pitchers. Lotte first picked the first point.

In the second inning, leadoff hitter Jeon Joon-woo got on base with a double to the right-center, and NC pitcher Riley's bad pitch came out when Han Tae-yang grounded out a pitcher with two outs and a third base.

In the meantime, Jeon Joon-woo stepped home.

NC tied the game in the third inning. Leading hitter Kim Hwi-jip stole second base after hitting a hit, and advanced to first base with two ground balls and homered. NC stole second base again after Kim Joo-won went out with a hit in the ensuing situation, but failed to score additional points due to the failure of a follow-up hit.

Lotte led again with one out in the top of the fourth inning with Kim Min-sung's hit and Na Seung-yeop's RBI triple over the height of the first baseman who returned. However, the follow-up hit struck out consecutively and failed to score an additional point. NC immediately followed Davison's tying solo shot in the bottom of the fourth inning.

NC starter Riley had 94 pitches until the fifth inning, but he also took the mound in the sixth inning to fulfill his responsibilities.

On the other hand, Lotte Davidson failed to overcome the last crisis in the sixth inning. With Kwon Hee-dong's walk and NC Davidson's hit, NC Choi Sung-won suddenly stole third base and shook the infield. The shaken Davidson was replaced after allowing Park Gun-woo to make a timely hit in front of left field. Park Gun-woo's hit became the final hit of the day.

NC set the tone in the seventh inning with a double by leadoff hitter Kim Hyung-joon, but Kim Hyung-joon seemed to miss the opportunity as he was out at third base during Chun Jae-hwan's bunt. However, when pinch hitter Son Ah-seop grounded out to first base with two outs and runners on first and second bases, Na Seung-yeop made the bases loaded with a ridiculous catch error.

NC, which gained momentum, fired a wedge two-run shot against Lotte Park Jin in the bottom of the eighth inning, and Kim Han-byeol's timely RBI hit continued to secure the victory 7-2.
