LG, who took the lead by drawing 5 points from Lotte starter Park Se-woong in the 5th inning, took advantage of Lotte's absurd defensive mistake in the second half of the game.
In the 6th one-out chance to fill base, Kim Hyeon-soo's third base runner was shot when he landed first base, but Lotte catcher Ji-Wan Ji-Wan made a throw error and center fielder Hwang Seong-Bin, who entered the second base cover, made a catch error one after another. .
In the 8th inning, when the Lotte infielders delayed Kim Hyun-soo's ordinary ground ball and made it a hit, Moon Seong-ju ran to third base, which was vacant because of the shift, and continued the opportunity.
Seong-ju Moon and Eun-seong Chae contributed 4 hits, and Jae-won Lee, who was dehydrated and had cramped legs, hit a home run, contributing to the team's 12-2 win.
