Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game, said of Han Tae-yang, who led the team to victory with three hits and three RBIs the previous day, `It's good to not miss a real pitch and overcome it without being pushed by strength. These days, I think I've gained some confidence to follow breaking balls."

Jeon Joon-woo's timely hit followed with two outs and runners on the first and third bases.

Lotte's Lee Min-seok was also not smooth. After two outs in the top of the second inning, Kim Ho-ryeong and Han Jun-su's consecutive hits and Kim Kyu-sung's walk faced a bases-loaded crisis, allowing a 2-2 tie with Ko Jong-wook's timely hit and Park Chan-ho's walk.
