The Lotte Giants won 11-5 with Son Ho-young's bases loaded, took the winning series to the NC Dinos and left to meet the last-place Kiwoom Heroes.
Lotte avenged the previous day's come-from-behind defeat by winning 11-5 at the beginning of the match against NC in the home game held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 31st. Lotte, which had 2 wins and 1 loss in this series, kept its third place with 55 wins, 3 draws and 43 losses.
Starting on the 1st, they will play three consecutive weekend games against the last-place Kiwoom at Gocheok. Chium had a good performance with 9 wins and 3 losses this season, so we can expect more than the Winning Series.
NC had no choice but to solve the game with difficulty when starter Kim Nok-won collapsed in the second inning, and the second pitcher Soi-hyun was hit by Son Ho-young with the bases loaded, making it 2-9 in the third inning and unable to use his hands.
On this day, Lotte formed the starting lineup of Jang Doo-sung (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (right wing), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Reyes (left wing), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Han Tae-yang (second baseman), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), and Park Seung-wook (striker). The table setters have been changed for three days.
NC had the same lineup as the previous day with Davison, a left-handed pitcher with the same Lotte as Gamboa. Kim Joo-won (striker), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Lee Woo-sung (first baseman), Kim Hui-jip (third baseman), Seo Ho-cheol (second baseman), Chun Jae-hwan (right fielder), Ahn Jung-yeol (catcher), and Choi Won-jun (middle fielder). Only catcher Kim Hyung-joon, who had four hits the previous day, had a slightly bad thigh side, giving him a break to prevent injury, and Ahn Jung-yeol started.
On this day, Lotte's foreign pitcher Davison took the mound, and NC's Kim Nok-won took the mound. Davison has an 8-5 record with a 3.61 ERA, and Kim Nok-won has a 2.1-hold ERA of 7.47, with Lotte leading the starting weight.

Lotte took the lead by replacing Kim Nok-won in the beginning. Yoo Kang-nam's walk was the starting point after one out in the bottom of the second inning. Lotte, which scored one more point with Na Seung-yeop's two-run double in the left-center with a left-handed hit by Han Tae-yang's left-handed hit, made it 4-0. Park Seung-wook's heavy hit and Jang Doo-sung's right-handed hit made it 4-0 with one out and Kim Nok-won's wild pitch on the first and third bases. Ko Seung-min walks and Kim Nok-won walks. Son Ho-young got on base with a hit ball from the changed pitcher Soi-hyun and loaded the bases with one out, and Reyes hit a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 5-0. Jeon Jun-woo walked and loaded the bases with two outs, but Yoo Kang-nam grounded out to shortstop and had no more runs.
In the top of the third inning, NC scored two runs with back-to-back doubles by Kim Joo-won and Kwon Hee-dong with two outs and a runner on first base, and Lotte ran further in the bottom of the third inning. Son Ho-young hit a grand slam over the left fence from changed pitcher Lee Joon-hyuk with two outs and a bases loaded with three walks earned by Na Seung-yeop and Park Seung-wook and Ko Seung-min. Son Ho-young, who swung and missed on a slider that fell outside for the fifth time in 3B1S, strongly hit the slider that came into his body for the sixth time and blew a grand slam with a large distance of 125m. It was his first grand slam since his debut.
The score was wide in the third inning, 9–2. Still, NC didn't give up. Following Choi Won-joon's right-handed hit after one out in the top of the fifth inning, Kim Joo-won hit a triple on the right-field line to score one point, and Kwon Hee-dong's fly to right field narrowed the gap to 4-9, 5 points.
NC came again in the top of the sixth inning. After one out against Lotte's second pitcher Kim Kang-hyun, Seo Ho-cheol, Chun Jae-hwan, and pinch hitter Kim Hyung-joon made a bases-loaded chance with three consecutive hits, and Choi Won-joon hit a sacrifice fly to left field from left-handed bullpen Chung Hyun-soo to add one more run.

Lotte posted Choi Jun-yong, a must-win group, on the verge of a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second bases with a difference of 9-5, four points. However, Kim Joo-won got on base with a ball that hit his body and loaded the bases with two outs. In a critical crisis, Kwon Hee-dong's hit flew straight to the third baseman and was caught on a line drive and went out three times.
Rossé, who had no chance in the fourth and fifth innings, got an additional scoring opportunity with two outs and runners on first and second bases in the bottom of the sixth inning with Reyes' walk and Yoo Kang-nam's hit, but Han Tae-yang grounded out in front of the third base.
While Choi Jun-yong kept a four-point lead by blocking a scoreless run until the seventh inning, Lotte kept its victory by playing baseball in the top of the eighth inning, which was a must-win group, Jung Cheol-won, and manager Kim Tae-hyung said.
When Choi Joon-yong and Jung Cheol-won silenced the NC lineup, the waiting extra point came out at the end of the eighth inning. After two outs, Reyes' hit, pinch runner Hwang Sung-bin's steal of second base led to Jeon Joon-woo's hit and Han Tae-yang's timely hit to make it 11-5. Yoon Sung-bin took the mound in the top of the ninth inning to finish the game as the score was six points apart and entered the stable zone.
Lotte starter Davison pitched 88 pitches in five innings, allowing five hits, two walks, four strikeouts, and four runs, but he won nine games (five losses) this season with the help of his batters.
Son Ho-young hit his first grand slam in his career and played with two hits and four RBIs in four at-bats, Na Seung-yup had one hit and two RBIs in two at-bats, and Jang Doo-sung, who started for the first time in the second half, had two hits and one RBI in five at-bats.
