Lotte couldn't decide the game 4-4 in Game 3 of the three consecutive home weekend series against KT Wiz in the 2025 KBO League held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 30th. Lotte, which lost Game 1, aimed for the winning series in Game 3 by winning 3-1 with "glass ace" Park Se-woong pitching well in Game 2, but there was a disappointing play in every opportunity to win.
Lotte faced the second half of the game with a 2-0 lead, scoring one run each in the fourth and fifth innings on the day (30th). However, starting pitcher Tucker Davidson was suddenly shaken in the seventh inning and was in danger of being on the first and second bases with one out, and changed pitcher Park Jin-young gave up the tie after being hit by Oh Yoon-seok's double to the right-center field.
In this situation, third baseman Son Ho-young's throwing error came out. Park Jin induced a ground ball from the allotment, but both second baseman Oh Yoon-seok and batter lived. The changed pitcher Jung Hyun-soo gave up a sacrifice fly to the follow-up hitter Mel Rojas Jr., and Lotte was even turned around.
Lotte tied the game 3-3 at the bottom of the ninth inning with leadoff batter Kim Min-sung walking against KT closer Park Young-hyun, follow-up Cho In-geun succeeding in the sacrifice bunt, and pinch hitter Jung Hoon hitting a double to left-center. Under the circumstances, Han Tae-yang lost his chance once again. When Park Young-hyun's wild pitch headed to the back net with two outs and a runner on the second base, Han Tae-yang rushed home following the third base, but was thrown out by the tag of the pitcher who caught the catcher's throw.
Lotte put in Kim Won-joong, the closing pitcher of the 10th inning. He allowed no run in the 10th inning, but allowed one run due to an error in the 11th inning. Shortstop Jeon Min-jae let Oh Yoon-seok's ordinary ground ball fall through his legs. KT then instructed Bae Jeong-dae to throw a sacrifice bunt and sent Oh to the second base, while Kim gave up consecutive walks to Rojas and Chun Sung-ho before allowing Heo a sacrifice fly. Victor Reyes, the left fielder who caught the ball, also failed to make an accurate throw from relatively close range.
Lotte tied the game 4-4 with Han Tae-yang hitting an infield single with two outs and a third base in the bottom of the 11th inning. However, there was no follow-up hit. It was a 4-4 draw.
Lotte scored a total of 17 points in eight matches that it played through Sunday. The record is the lowest among the 10 teams. None of the games scored more than four points during the regular innings. With the batting cycle of the batters hardly on the rise, the baserunning and defense are also weak. The 2025 season with high expectations due to the growth of young fielders. There was one draw, but only two wins in the first eight games as in the beginning of last season, when he was at the bottom.
