Lotte Han Hyun-hee.
The seagull caught the tiger again.
Lotte defeated KIA 0-3 in a professional baseball visit to Gwangju on the 5th.
With this, Lotte continued its recent 3-game winning streak and 5-game winning streak against KIA.
It has been 2,478 days (6 years, 9 months, 13 days) since August 23, 2017 that Lotte recorded 5 consecutive wins against KIA.
After the game ended, Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung cited starting pitcher Han Hyun-hee (31) as the main contributor to the victory.
Han Hyun-hee, who started for the first time this year, allowed 2 runs (1 earned run) in 5 innings and became the winning pitcher.
This was the first time that Han Hyun-hee wore a Lotte uniform and won as a starter against KIA. With the loss on this day, leader KIA, who had recently suffered three consecutive losses, had 35 wins, 1 draw, and 24 losses (win rate 0.593), falling behind second place LG (35 wins, 2 draws, 25 losses, win rate 0.583) by 0.5 games.
On this day, LG achieved a 4-2 comeback win over Kiwoom in their home game in Jamsil, breaking their five-game losing streak.
With the bases loaded at 1:00 in the bottom of the 8th inning, with the score tied 2-2, LG's second batter, Moon Seong-ju (27), hit a timely hit with 2 RBIs.
As the Automatic Ball and Strike System (ABS) malfunctioned during Kiwoom's attack in the top of the 3rd inning, umpire Ji-woong Ham was in charge of judging the ball until the LG attack ended in the bottom of the 4th inning.
This game is the first time in this year's regular season game that a 'human referee' was in charge of the ball decision.
Third-place Samsung lost 3-7 in the Munhak visit, putting the brakes on its five-game winning streak.
SSG Choi Jeong (37) rose to the sole lead in this category by hitting a 2-run home run (18th of the season) over the center wall in the bottom of the 5th inning with 2 outs and runners on 3rd base when the team was ahead 3-2.
Choi Jeong-eun was tied for the lead with KT Kang Baek-ho (25) until the day before.
If Samsung had won on this day, it could have achieved a 'winning series' against its previous team, but as it lost, it ended up being chased by Doosan in 4th place.
On this day, Doosan defeated NC, the home team, 4-3 in Changwon after an overtime match in the 11th inning.
NC is mired in 10 consecutive losses in home games.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop was ordered to leave in the top of the 7th inning after protesting Jo Soo-haeng's 3-foot defense interference ruling that did not change even after a video review.
Coach Lee had been ejected the previous day for protesting when a safe ruling for base-running interference was changed to an out after a video review.
In Suwon, Hanwha defeated its home team KT 12-2 and raised its ranking to 7th place.
KT, which lost two games in a row to Hanwha the previous day, became 8th.
On this day, Hanwha Hwang Young-mook (25) appeared as the number 1 hitter for the first time since his professional debut, and recorded 4 hits and 4 RBIs in his first personal game. 스포츠토토
