Lotte ended its scoreless streak, but failed to stop it even after pouring everything into it → Even the aftereffects of overtime blood fight...brutal reality Lotte Giants faced the cruel reality of losing six games in a row.

Lotte lost 4-5 against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park on the 14th with a walk that pushed the bases with two outs after a bloody struggle in the 11th inning of extra time, and recently lost six consecutive games.

He has not tasted victory since the match against the KIA Tigers on the 6th. KIA on the 7th and SSG Landers on the 8th and 10th, followed by Hanwha's three consecutive losses during the week against Ponce-Wice-Ryu Hyun-jin.

In particular, unlike the first and second games, which were tied to Ponce (0-2 loss on the 13th) and Weiss (0-6 loss on the 14th), the third game also ended the humiliation of 23 consecutive scoreless innings against Ryu Hyun-jin. With starter Na Kyun-an pitching on par with Ryu Hyun-jin with three hits and two runs in six innings, Ko Seung-min and Yoon Dong-hee's consecutive double hit in the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs and a runner on second base to tie the score at 2-2.

After Ryu Hyun-jin went down, he turned the game around in the eighth inning. Han Tae-yang got on base with a hit after one out against Hanwha's must-win group Han Seung-hyuk, and Yoon Dong-hee's timely hit came from behind with two outs and third base.

However, the process of allowing a tie was somewhat futile. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Jung Chul-won was shaken by consecutive wild pitches, and Lee Do-yoon's sacrifice fly tied the score.

Lotte once again had a chance to win. In the top of the ninth inning, Jeon Min-jae's RBI timely hit hit hit in the first and third bases with one out made by Kim Min-sung's walk and Roh Jin-hyuk's hit, leading again 4-3.

However, anxiety grew as second baseman Han Seung-hyun's strikeout and Information Geun's strikeout caused him to miss the opportunity to score additional points, which soon became a reality. Closer Kim Won-joong took the mound, but he was hit by a tiebreaking solo shot by Hanwha foreign hitter Liberato.

He had another chance to score in the top of the 10th inning of extra time. Leading hitter Han Tae-yang got on base with a hit, and Hanwha's infield error came out when Yoon Dong-hee grounded out to shortstop with one out and second base on a sacrifice bunt. However, instead of Han Tae-yang living to the third base, Yoon Dong-hee, who was aiming for the second base, was out, and the momentum was cut, and Jang Doo-sung struck out.

In the end, Lotte posted Yoon Sung-bin at the end of the 11th inning when it missed the opportunity to escape the losing streak. However, Hanwha's leadoff hitter Son Ah-seop walked out with a hit ball, and Moon Hyun-bin's double broke out after Liberato struck out. Yoon Sung-bin was replaced after automatically skipping Noh Si-hwan with four pitches. The last pitcher, Kim Kang-hyun, caught Kim Tae-yeon with an infield fly ball, but he shook his head by allowing Lee Won-seok to walk a walk to finish.

On this day, Lotte literally poured everything into it. It was so as not to miss the hard-won chance to win. After Na Kyun-an (6 innings), Hong Min-ki (1 inning), Jung Chul-won (⅔ innings), Jung Hyun-soo (⅓ innings), Kim Won-joong (2 innings), Yoon Sung-bin (⅓ innings), and Kim Kang-hyun (⅓ innings) continued to win again.

In particular, it is fatal that fatigue accumulated by playing a blood fight in the 11th inning ahead of the weekend's three consecutive games, and closer Kim Won-joong pitched two innings. Even though he had 12 hits, which was ahead of Hanwha (8 hits), he still had a loose scoring concentration.

Hanwha won with a walk-off walk by Hanwha Lee Won-seok in the bottom of the 11th inning. Lotte players leaving the ground after the game.

a situation in which the nightmare of 'Bomde' is likely to come to mind later. Even in the ranking fight, which was somewhat relaxed, this six-game losing streak was fatal.

It was already seven and a half games apart from the second-place Hanwha, and it was caught up with the fourth-place SSG Landers by one and a half games. Behind SSG, competitors such as KIA Tigers (0.5 games), KT Wiz (1 game) and NC Dinos (1 game) are lined up with slight differences. If you fall into the hellish mid-range, you can never guarantee fall baseball.

Gamboa, who has established himself as a successful replacement myth, is still pitching well, but with no luck, Velazquez made his dangerous debut. Will Lotte and manager Kim Tae-hyung be able to escape the biggest crisis since the opening.
