The final winner of the dizzying cliffhanger was Lotte Giants.

Lotte won a tough 3-2 victory with Ko Seung-min's walk-off hit in the bottom of the 11th inning in Game 15 of the season against KT Wiz at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th.

It was literally an all-out war in which both teams' best efforts were mobilized. Lotte starter Gamboa recorded four hits and no runs in six innings, and KT starter Heyesus recorded four hits, one run and 7K in six innings, respectively, in a fierce match that did not take an inch back.




Hwang Sung-bin scored one point against Heysus. Hwang Sung-bin replaced Na Seung-yeop, who got on base as a leadoff hitter in the top of the sixth inning.

Heysus' Bork and Reyes' walks followed, with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, but Son Sung-bin's bunt was handled with a fly ball, changing the situation to one out and runners on the first and second bases. In any case, Heysus was also in the last inning, and the heated atmosphere seemed to cool down in an instant.

Hwang Sung-bin-down, maybe a reckless game plan, broke out then. Hwang stole third base. Confused KT catcher Cho Dae-hyun's throw to third base missed, and Hwang Sung-bin stepped home and scored the first point.




However, the joy was brief, and Lotte faced a crisis of second base with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning when Park Chan-hyung missed KT Kang Baek-ho's ambiguous hit to the left field. With no outs and runners on the first and third bases, pinch-hitter Jang Sung-woo's double play tied the score 1-1.

Lotte's Kim Won-joong has 30 saves and KT's Park Young-hyun has 31 saves, making him a contender for the relief king. However, on the day when both played multiple innings, both failed to save.

KT led 2-1 against Kim Won-joong as Kang Baek-ho hit a timely hit in the top of the 10th inning of extra time. It was KT's power in the background.




However, Lotte recently had Park Chan-hyung who showed off his peak hitting sense. Park Chan-hyung fired a tying solo shot over the right fence against Park Young-hyun in the bottom of the 10th inning, wowing 17,000 Busan fans who filled Sajik Stadium.

At the end of the 11th inning of extra time, KT took the mound with Kim Min-soo. Roh Jin-hyuk and Jang Doo-sung's consecutive hits made it to first and third base with two outs, and KT benches automatically walked Park Chan-hyung, who returned to the batter's box, with four pitches. With the bases loaded like that, Ko Seung-min's ball escaped between the first and second basemen, completing an emotional walk-off hit.

After the game, head coach Kim Tae-hyung played without losing his concentration even though all the teams were going to the end of overtime. In particular, the backup players did a good job, so I was able to win," he said with a warm round of applause.

"Once again, I would like to say that all the players did a great job. I would also like to thank the fans who stayed and supported me until the end."
