Lotte won 4-1 against Kiwoom in the game between Lotte Giants and Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th. Lotte, which lost to Kiwoom on the 22nd, succeeded in escaping two consecutive losses. Lotte ranked third in the league with 49 wins, three draws and 42 losses in the season.
On the 23rd, Lotte's Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Reyes (left fielder), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Park Seung-wook (st baseman), and Han Tae-yang (third baseman) started as starters.
Lotte's 'Glasses Ace' Park Se-woong pitched well. During seven innings, he pitched six hits, struck out five, and pitched one run. Park Se-woong rose to the double-digit 10 wins (six losses) mark for the first time in three years since the 2023 season.
Lotte scored the first run in the top of the fifth inning. After the leadoff hitter Yoo Kang-nam hit, Park Seung-wook's hit struck out Han Tae-yang on the first and third bases with no outs, and Hwang Sung-bin's ground ball made it to the first and second bases with two outs, but the next batter Ko Seung-min hit a timely RBI to score the first point. Later, Reyes hit a two-run double in a two-out bases-loaded chance made by Yoon Dong-hee's walk, widening the score to 3-0.
Reyes hit six pitches after a persistent game in a two-strike no-ball against Kiwoom starter Ha Young-min to make a double that left the third baseman's side.
Amid Park Se-woong's good pitching, Lotte widened the gap to 4-0 this time with Reyes, the fourth batter, hitting an RBI timely hit, with two outs and a walk by Ko Seung-min and a ball hit by Yoon Dong-hee after two outs in the top of the seventh inning.
