A powerful run that changed the mood of the dugout.

The game between Lotte and LG took place at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 18th. LG won 5-3 against Lotte. Lotte ended its three-game winning streak, and LG escaped from its second straight loss and remained in third place, two games apart from Doosan.

Lotte took the first place. In the bottom of the third inning, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases with Park Seung-wook's walk and an information-based hit, Ko Seung-min, who achieved the game cycling hit on the 17th, hit a timely RBI to take the lead.

Lotte starter Kim Jin-wook faced several runs, but pitched six scoreless innings. LG starter Lim Chan-kyu also gave up one run, but kept the mound until the second out in the seventh inning.

Lotte's Song Jae-young and Han Hyun-hee kept scoreless in the seventh inning. Kim Sang-soo continued Lotte in the eighth inning. Kim Sang-soo handled LG's leadoff hitter Moon Sung-joo with a ground ball to shortstop, but one out later, he allowed a superior 120m tie home run in LG's fourth batter Moon Bo-kyung. The game is one to one again.

Kim Sang-soo handled Park Dong-won with a fly to second base, but after two outs, Oh Ji-hwan allowed a hit to right-center at the end of seven pitches.

Two outs and a runner on first base. Oh Ji-hwan attempted to steal second base during Lee Young-bin's at-bat. Oh Ji-hwan, who was watching the situation, ran toward third base when Lotte catcher Cho In-geun's throw fell out of the second base.

Lotte center fielder Yoon Dong-hee grabbed the ball and threw it toward third base, but the timing was late. I tried to throw quickly, but the ball fell out of the third base again. Oh Ji-hwan, who arrived at third base, confirmed that the ball was missing and succeeded in scoring a come-from-behind score.

Oh Ji-hwan's quick feet caused him to make two consecutive throwing errors.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Lotte's Son Ho-young hit a tiebreaking solo home run against his former team LG, but Lotte's long-haired closer Kim Won-joong, who took the mound in the top of the ninth inning, allowed three consecutive hits and failed to keep the mound. Kim Won-joong eventually lost three runs. Lotte followed a point in the bottom of the ninth inning, but eventually lost 5-3.

Two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Talking to infielders, Oh Ji-hwan.


Defending champion LG is having a difficult ranking battle this year. It is a fierce ranking battle at the end of the season where even the current third place cannot be guaranteed.

Oh Ji-hwan, who played a decisive role in winning last year, changed the team's atmosphere with a strong run. Instead of the bat that does not explode, he changed the atmosphere with fast feet.
