Jeon Joon-woo of Lotte Giants, who shines in 'One Club 2000 hits', comforted his heartbroken fans with a home run.

Lotte is trailing 3-9 as of the end of the sixth inning in Game 3 of the Weekday Series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 5th.

Kiwoom is the lowest team among the 10 clubs. Unlike last year, foreign pitchers were not overwhelming, and the plan for two foreign hitters, which was prepared enthusiastically, ended in failure. Puig was kicked out and Alcantara was recruited, with the remaining Cadines out due to injury. This season, when the all-time ranking battle is underway, there is a public talk that "a team that drops fewer points against Kiwoom is advantageous"."




Kiwoom already consumed foreign pitcher Rosenberg-Alcantara against the Doosan Bears on the weekend. In the game against Lotte, only native starters led by Kim Yeon-ju, Kim Yoon-ha and Ha Young-min appeared.

On the other hand, Lotte formed '3 strongest' with the LG Twins and Hanwha Eagles this season, and the first to third starters, who will lead to Gamboa, Park Se-woong and Davidson, participated in this series.

However, starter Davison collapsed in vain early in the game. In the top of the first inning, Lee Joo-hyung, Kim Dong-yeop, and Kim Gun-hee allowed a series of timely hits, allowing four runs. Lee Joo-hyung's timely hit also hit in the second inning, 0-4.




In the third inning, he was blocked by a three-way error, but after two outs in the fourth inning, he was hit again by Lee Joo-hyung with a solo shot.

And Davison completely collapsed when Lotte left fielder Jeon Jun-woo's mistake in capturing the drop point gave up a double to Kim Dong-yeop. Following Lim Ji-yeol's walk, he allowed Song Ji-hoo to score three runs and was replaced. In three ⅔ innings, he allowed nine runs (homerun 2) and pitched 96 pitches.

However, Lotte launched a counterattack in the bottom of the fifth inning. Leading hitter Jang Doo-sung got on base with a hit, and Reyes, who suffers from ankle pain after one out, hit an RBI double to score his first comeback point.




Jeon Jun-woo then made a two-run shot over the left fence, showing his own resolve.

Jeon Jun-woo became the 20th player in KBO history to reach the 2,000-hit milestone by hitting two hits the previous day, but the team's defeat faded. It was also regrettable that the 2000th hit became a double that hit the top of the left fence in Sajik and failed to lead to a home run.

After the game, Jeon Jun-woo said, `It's a shame that the team didn't win more than my personal record. However, I am happy that I have achieved 2,000 hits as a member of the Lotte Giants."
