The end of the dramatic match was a miraculous walk-off hit and the boiling cheers of Busan baseball fans.

In Game 15 of the season against the KT Wiz at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th, Ko Seung-min's finishing hit with the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning gave the Lotte Giants a 3-2 come-from-behind victory.

They are the two teams at the center of the all-time mid-ranking battle. With this victory, Lotte secured its dominance in the season with 8 wins, 5 losses and 2 draws against KT this season.




With the victory, Lotte recorded its 61st win (five draws and 58 losses) and moved back to third place, beating SSG Landers, who lost to KIA Tigers on the same day. It is the first time in eight days that it has regained third place since it fell to fourth place on the 20th, when 12 consecutive losses were underway. Before the game, it was worthwhile to call up the pitcher-hitting coach at the same time in the Futures to secure the atmosphere of the team.

On the other hand, KT slid to fifth place with its 59th loss (60 wins and 4 draws). This series luge is painful as it swept the upward Doosan Bears over the weekend to strengthen the atmosphere that was shaking.

On this day, Lotte's Park Chan-hyung (3rd base), Ko Seung-min (1st base), Na Seung-yeop (1st base), Reyes (designated hitter), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Han Tae-jun (second base), Lee Ho-joon (striker), Han Seung-hyun (left fielder) and Jang Doo-sung (midfielder) came forward. Let's start with Gamboa.




KT faced Heo Kyung-min (3rd base), Kim Sang-soo (2nd base), Ahn Hyun-min (2nd base), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Hwang Jae-gyun (1st base), Kang Hyun-woo (catcher), Stephenson (middle fielder), Jang Joon-won (striker) and Jang Jin-hyuk (left fielder). The starter is Heyesus.

The normal battle between Gamboa, Heysus and foreign left-hander who boast fastballs was held. Despite the crisis of losing points, the two pitchers developed a pitching competition worth watching by taking pictures of each other's batters with overwhelming ball power.

KT had its first chance to score with consecutive walks by Kim Sang-soo and Ahn Hyun-min in the top of the first inning, but Kang Baek-ho's 6-4-3 double play swallowed the disappointment. In the top of the second inning, Kang Hyun-woo's walk and Stevenson's hit gave him a chance to hit first and second bases with one out, but Jang Jun-won struck out and Jang Jin-hyuk's infield grounder retired.

Lotte also immediately launched a counterattack in the bottom of the second inning. Leading hitter Yoo Kang-nam's hit, Han Tae-yang's sacrifice bunt, and Lee Ho-joon's grounder led the runner to third base. However, Han Seung-hyun only hit a ground ball in the infield.

Both teams actively played small balls as the situation was not easy. KT's leadoff hitter Huh Kyung-min got on base with a hit in the top of the third inning, and Kim Sang-soo immediately threw a sacrifice bunt. However, Ahn Hyun-min and Kang Baek-ho's clean-ups were all just hits. In the top of the fourth inning, Stephenson Jang Joon-won's consecutive hit came out after two outs, but this time again, Jang Joon-won stepped down with an infield fly ball.

Lotte also had a chance to get first and second bases with one out in the bottom of the fourth inning with Reyes' hit and Yoo Kang-nam's hit, but Han Tae-yang and Lee Ho-joon all struck out.

Both teams' homeowners went through an unexpected hardship. Lotte was replaced by Son Sung-bin after Yoo Kang-nam was hit by KT Ahn Hyun-min's foul ball in the top of the fifth inning, and KT was also replaced by Cho Dae-hyun after Kang Hyun-woo was hit by Park Chan-hyung's foul ball.

The first run came in the bottom of the sixth. Lotte's leadoff hitter Na Seung-yeop walked to get on base, and Lotte Bench put Hwang Sung-bin as a pinch runner. Reyes' next at-bat, Heyesus walked after Bork. Lotte's Son Sung-bin attempted a sacrifice bunt, but it became a foul fly.

Common sense like Hwang Sung Bin??There's a play. Hwang Sung-bin suddenly attempted to steal third base with one out and runners on the first and second bases. The embarrassed KT defense's throw to third base was omitted, and Hwang Sung-bin stepped home to give the first run.

Lotte Gamboa allowed 6K in six scoreless innings and Heysus allowed one run and 7K in six innings, respectively, before moving on to the bullpen fight.

Lotte put in a series of must-win teams to protect Choi Jun-yong in the seventh inning and Jeong Cheol-won in the eighth inning. However, in the top of the eighth inning, KT's leadoff hitter Kang Baek-ho's ball fell between third baseman and left fielder and inside the line, making a double, and the third baseman stepped home when pinch hitter Jang Sung-woo hit a double play at the first and third bases with no outs, and the game went back to square one.

In the ninth inning of KT, Lotte's closing pitcher Kim Won-joong and KT's Park Young-hyun played. Kim Won-joong finished the ninth inning with a three-way error. Lotte boosted the mood by hitting a triple by Roh Jin-hyuk hitting the top of the right-center fence after two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Jang Doo-sung stepped down with a fly ball to center field and swallowed the disappointment.

KT took a 2-1 lead with Ahn Hyun-min walking after one out in the top of the 10th inning, and pinch runner An Chi-young took second base when Kim Won-joong threw a wild pitch, and Kang Baek-ho's timely hit hit.

However, Lotte's leadoff hitter Park Chan-hyung hit a tiebreaking home run over the right fence against Park Young-hyun in the bottom of the 10th inning, turning the game back to 2-2 origin.

Lotte was in crisis in the top of the 11th inning by allowing leadoff hitter Stephenson to hit a direct double to the mid-wall fence, but Chung Hyun-soo struck out Kwon Dong-jin and Jang Jin-hyuk in a row, followed by Park Jin catching Heo Kyung-min with a fly ball to center field.

KT's last pitcher is Kim Min-soo. Lotte saved the last spark when Noh Jin-hyuk got on base with a left-handed hit after two outs. When Jang Doo-sung also hit a heavy hit, KT's bench automatically sent out Park Chan-hyung, who hit an equalizer in the previous at-bat, with four pitches on purpose to load the bases.

The last player is Go Seungmin. Ko Seung-min marked the end of the game with a walk-off hit that fell to the side of the second baseman.
