It was a day where the value of Lotte Giants Son Sung-bin shone brilliantly. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung also admitted it with both hands.

Lotte won the first game of the weekend series against the Hanwha Eagles 6-4 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th.

It was a pleasant victory, combining starter Wilkerson's seven innings of hard pitching with Altoran-like performances by Reyes (3 hits, 3 RBIs), Park Seung-wook (2 hits, 1 RBI) and Son Sung-bin (3 hits, 1 RBI). With this victory, he will be able to bring down Hanwha and climb to seventh place in 13 days after June 15, dreaming of a mid-range leap. The difference between the sixth-ranked NC Dinos is 1.5 games and the fifth-ranked SSG Landers is two games apart.

There was a crisis in the top of the second inning when he gave up three points first. But Wilkerson held himself together like 'SajikJesus'. He changed the atmosphere by three-way withdrawal in all three to five times.

The flow led to the fire of Lotte's batters. And it was Son Sung-bin who opened the door and took the picture.

Lotte's pursuit began with leadoff hitter Son Sung-bin's double in the bottom of the third inning. Yoon Dong-hee's infield grounder and Reyes' timely hit caught up with two runs in the second and third bases with no outs. Park Seung-wook's equalizer and Son Sung-bin's come-from-behind hit continued in the bottom of the fourth inning.

The following one-out full base chance was missed. In the bottom of the fifth inning, a double steal failed with two outs and runners on first and third bases. But Lotte was not discouraged. Lotte is the most different from the previous one. Even if you try constantly without fear of failure, and if you fail, the atmosphere will not be dampened.

Once again, Son Sung-bin was the starting point. In the bottom of the sixth inning, leadoff hitter Son Sung-bin survived due to Hanwha's error. Afterwards, Son Sung-bin was out when Hwang Sung-bin grounded out, but Hwang Sung-bin stole second base and was rewarded. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Reyes decided with a cool two-run double.

After the game, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said "Wilkerson played a good role as the first starter. Veteran Jin Hae-soo, Kim Sang-soo, and finisher Kim Won-joong threw so well. I kept my victory, he said with a big smile.

Compliments followed for Son Sung-bin, who played as the starting catcher. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `Son Sung-bin's pitching lead and ball mix were good, and he also played well with three hits in batting," he stressed.

After giving up the first run in five consecutive games since the match against Kiwoom on the 23rd, the reversal following the fierce chase is unfolding. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `I want to praise the team for playing well without losing concentration until the end even though they were trailing in the early stages of the game. I would like to express my gratitude to the fans who are enthusiastically cheering for me in the packed audience.
