Kim Min-seok explained the secret of the 5 hits, saying, “There were hits in the previous game, but the quality of the batting was not good. It felt like I was hitting with power.” . He continued, “It’s the first time I’ve hit 5 hits in baseball,” and added, “Today, it seems to have come out as a good result that I did not be late for a fastball and made in-play hits.”

Lotte won SSG 8-4 that day. Na Kyun-an, who started, gave up 3 hits (1 home run) and 1 run in 4 innings, Shin Jeong-rak (2 runs in 1 inning) – Jin Seung-hyun – Kim Jin-wook (no runs in 1 inning) – Choi Jun-yong (1 inning, 1 run) – Koo Seung-min (1 inning 1 run) lost) followed by a throw. Lee Hak-joo contributed to the team’s victory by hitting a three-runner in the bottom of the eighth inning.
