Did the two men convey the golden energy of victory. Hanwha Eagles performed a miraculous turnaround show against Lotte Giants in front of home fans.
Hanwha scored seven points in the seventh and eighth innings against Lotte at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 22nd, winning an 8-4 come-from-behind victory.
With the victory, Hanwha won its 64th game (72 losses and 2 draws), bringing Lotte down to eighth place and moving up to seventh place by a 0.5-game difference. He also held on to his hopes of advancing to autumn baseball by keeping his track number 2.
On the other hand, Lotte lost for the 71st time (62 wins and 2 draws), falling into a swamp for three consecutive losses. Now, the number of cases where Lotte advances to the postseason is even narrower. First of all, they must win all seven remaining games to fill the winning rate of 493, and KT must lose all four games and SSG must slump to a winning rate (485%) below Lotte with one win and five losses.
On this day, Hanwha played with the lineup of Peraza (right wing), Kwon Kwang-min (left wing), Moon Hyun-bin (third base), Noh Si-hwan (designated hitter), Chae Eun-sung (first base), Ahn Chi-hong (second base), Jang Jin-hyuk (middle fielder), Lee Do-yoon (striker) and Choi Jae-hoon (catcher). The first choice is Weiss.

Lotte faced off with Hwang Sung-bin (left fielder), Reyes (right fielder), Ko Seung-min (second base), Son Ho-young (third base), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first base), Yoon Dong-hee (center fielder), Park Seung-wook (striker) and Information-geun (catcher). The selection was made by Barnes.
Oh Sang-wook and Park Sang-won, who won the gold medal in fencing at the Paris Olympics, were in charge of the first pitch and hitters for Hanwha under the name of 'Egladay'. On the other hand, Lotte deployed Reyes forward in the second batting order and launched the '202 hit project'.
Lotte was the first to start. In the top of the first inning, leadoff hitter Hwang Sung-bin combined an infield hit, opponent's error, and wild pitch to make it third base with no outs, and Reyes' missed hit easily earned the first run.

But from then on, there was a sense of ominousness. With the bases loaded with one out, Na Seung-yeop's well-hit ball became a straight hit to second base, and the inning ended with a double out.
Lotte tried to forget the disappointment by making it 3-0 with Hanwha starter Weiss' second wild pitch and Yoon Dong-hee's timely hit in the top of the third inning with one out and runners on the first and third bases with Reyes' walk and Son Ho-young's hit.
Hanwha recovered one point with a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth inning against Lotte Barnes, who was continuing good pitching, but failed to score additional points due to Barnes' gritty ground ball defense with two outs. In the top of the sixth inning, he gave up an RBI double to Ko Seung-min and fell behind 1-4 again. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Noh Si-hwan's double play cut off his pulse.

Hanwha's baseball has been around since then. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Jang Jin-hyuk, pinch hitter Hwang Young-mook, and Lee Jae-won made three consecutive hits to load the bases with no outs. Peraza's ground ball to third base then made it 2-4.
Here, Lotte Bench pushed Barnes as it was after a lot of thought. Hanwha's Kwon Kwang-min struck out, but Moon Hyun-bin hit an RBI timely hit to catch up to 3-4.
The replacement was made late with Han Hyun-hee, but Noh Si-hwan hit an equalizer that directly hit the right fence. With two outs and a full base, An Chi-hong scored the winning run for the fifth point by getting a push walk from Lotte Kim Sang-soo. Lotte's fourth pitcher Chung Hyun-soo managed to finish the nightmarish bottom of the seventh inning, but the game had already been overturned.

Hanwha's momentum continued in the bottom of the eighth inning. Lotte expressed its thirst for victory by putting Koo Seung-min, a must-win group, with one out in the eighth inning, but Hanwha combined a hit ball, an opponent's error, and a walk to create a two-out bases-loaded chance. Choi In-ho then made a two-run timely hit, and Chae Eun-sung continued a one-run timely hit, widening the gap to 8-4.
In the top of the ninth inning, the closing main phenomenon took the mound and closed the game by blocking the weak Lotte lineup without losing a point.
