The Lotte Giants have finally managed a three-game sweep against the Kiwoom Heroes after a truly long time.
Lotte, which had fans on an emotional rollercoaster with 13 runs in one inning on the first day and a dramatic ninth-inning comeback win on the second day, tied the game again today
in the 6th inning and scored 5 runs in the 7th inning alone to turn the game around. Then they added one more run in the 8th inning to
seal the game.
Lotte's starting pitcher Na Gyun-an pitched 6 innings, allowing 5 hits and 1 run, earning his first win in quite a while.
Kiwoom's starting pitcher Park Jun-hyun pitched 5 innings and allowed 3 runs, continuing his losing streak since his first win in his debut appearance.
With both Lotte and NC winning today, they pushed Hanwha, who lost to KIA, down to 8th place, with NC moving up to 6th and Lotte
to 7th. With NC beating Doosan, NC narrowed the gap to 7.5 games and Lotte to 8 games, cutting it down by one game.
