Lotte’s Pil Seung-jo, who took the mound after Park Se-woong, also pitched well. Kim Sang-soo pitched one inning of one-hit ball, Jeon Mir pitched one inning of one-hit ball, and Kim Won-joong pitched two innings of one-hit ball to shut down KT’s resistance.

The Lotte bats were highlighted by leadoff hitter Hwang Sung-bin. Hwang Sung-bin had the only multi-hit game of the day, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored.

Go gave Lotte a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning with a bases-loaded single to center field. Lotte would hold on to the lead for the rest of the game.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said after the game, “Starting pitcher Park Se-woong pitched well for six innings. Kim Sang-soo, Jeon Mir, and Kim Won-joong, who pitched after him, also did a good job of keeping KT’s bats in check without allowing any runs,” said Kim.

“Hwang Sung-bin, who returned from injury, played well not only offensively but also defensively,” he said. “Despite the sudden injury to our captain, Jeon Jun-woo, we were able to win because the players were united and focused.”
