The Lotte Giants continued their three-game winning streak, laying the groundwork for a leap to the mid-tier.
Lotte beat the NC Dinos 8-2 in the professional baseball 2021 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League match held at NC Park in Changwon on the 4th.
Lotte, which swept the first and second double-header games against the Hanwha Eagles the day before, also sounded a victorious victory in Changwon.
Lotte recorded 11 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in 19 matches in the second half, and is ranked first in the win rate (0.647) during this period.
The protagonist of the rebound is definitely ‘Ace with Glasses’ Park Se-woong.
Park Se-woong, who participated in the Tokyo Olympics with the Taegeuk mark, appeared in four games in the second half and won all of them.
On this day, Park Se-woong also took the victory (7 wins and 6 losses) with 5 hits and 2 runs (1 earned run) in 7 innings.
Lotte seized the opportunity with Son Ah-seop’s superior double after one shot in the first inning.
Dae-ho Lee retreated with a ground ball at first base, but Jun-woo Jeon hit a heavy hit in the second and third base that followed to gain the lead.
Jun-woo Jeon stepped into the home with follow-up hitter Jeong Hoon’s left double.
NC contributed an extra point to Lotte by mistake.
In the 4th inning, NC starter Jae-hak Lee led Kim Min-soo to a shortstop ground ball in 1 company, 1st and 2nd base.
It was a situation that could have ended the inning with an illness.
However, NC second baseman Choi Jeong-won gave up one point in vain because he made a bad throw to first base.
NC recovered one point with Na Seong-beom’s solo shot at the end of the 4th inning.
However, Lotte ran away again by adding three points in the first half of the sixth inning.
In the 6th inning, Ahn Jung-yeol hit a heavy hit in the middle, and Dixon Machado made a double RBI double that exceeded the height of right fielder in the second base, first and second base, which led to Kim Min-soo’s walk.
Park Se-woong conceded one point from a series of errors from third baseman Dong-hee Han in the bottom of the 6th inning and was driven to 2nd and 1st and 3rd base.
However, Park Se-woong did not waver and finished the inning by dealing with Kang Jin-seong with a ground ball in front of second baseman.
It was the moment when Lotte was certain of victory.
On that day, 2,368 spectators entered Changwon NC Park.
This is the first crowd since the Samsung Lions match on July 4th.
As Changwon City eased the distance to three levels, the audience seats that had been tightly closed for two months were carefully opened.
