The atmosphere is heating up on the last day of the weekend series. The 'Nakdong River Derby' site is hotter than the weather.

The NC Dinos and Lotte Giants will play Game 3 of the weekend series at Changwon NC Park on the 28th.

The game was sold out as of 2:15 p.m. It is the 138th time this year for professional baseball, and the ninth time this year that Changwon NC Park, the home of NC, has sold out.

In particular, NC sold out all three consecutive weekend series against Lotte this weekend. It is the first 'celebration' in 14 years since its foundation in 2011.

Will he be able to finish the three consecutive games. The starting matchup on the day was Lotte Wilkerson vs NC Choi Sung-young. The weight leans towards Wilkerson by far.

Initially, it was Daniel Castano's starting day, but NC announced Castano's release before the game. Most of the NC team officials also heard the news only this morning. NC is also preparing to take the mound as an alternative starter against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 30th.

NC gained momentum early in the game. NC took the lead with Kwon Hee-dong's two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning. Kim Hwi-jip Kim Sung-wook and Park Si-won then added one more run.

Lotte followed Park Seung-wook's infield ground ball with the bases loaded with one out in the top of the second inning, but failed to score an additional point.

NC also added another point in the bottom of the second inning. Leading hitter Park Se-hyuk hit a double, and Lotte Ko Seung-min's error came out when Park Min-woo grounded out to second base. However, the additional score failed with one out and third base.

Then Lotte's counterattack in the top of the third inning was fierce. Yoon Dong-hee and Ko Seung-min are easily caught and 2 outs. However, NC Kim Hui-jip's error was the starting point when Jeon Joon-woo grounded out to shortstop.

Reyes' walk and Na Seung-yeop's RBI timely hit followed. Na Seung-yeop had hits and RBIs in three consecutive games this series.

With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, NC made an early selection replacement. Twice? Pitcher Han Jae-seung took the mound.

However, Lotte's wave offensive continued. Son Ho-young drew a walk and loaded the bases again. Jung Hoon's ball in left field looked like a fly ball to be handled in front, but NC Kwon Hee-dong missed the ball as if it were covered by the western sun at the moment, making it a two-run timely hit.

Park Seung-wook's timely hit continued, leading to a 5-4 reversal. Han Jae-seung struck out Son Sung-bin and managed to end the long third inning.
