Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 4th. Lotte Giants and KT Wiz faced off. He is also a competitor who is competing sharply in the fall baseball with 6 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw against each other this season.
Lotte Wilkerson and KT Benjamin played a head-to-head match. The momentum was extraordinary.
Wilkerson did not allow a single on-base hit until the fifth inning with two outs and Benjamin in the fourth inning. The electronic display was all '0' marches.
The first hit of both teams was recorded by Lotte's Son Ho-young. Son Ho-young hit a triple on the right-field line against Benjamin, who was running fast with six strikeouts until the last minute. However, Lotte failed to score when the next batter, Reyes, gave Benjamin his seventh strikeout.
On the other hand, KT did not miss one chance and violently bit it. KT also had the bad luck of Hwang Jae-kyun being replaced by Oh Yoon-seok due to back pain. Both Oh Yoon-seok and Moon Sang-chul stepped down with a fly ball, and Wilkerson's perfect march continued until the top of the fifth inning with two outs.
The player who ended here was Kang Baek-ho. Kang Baek-ho got on base with a hit that fell in the middle of the right.

In other words, one clumsy defense destroyed the mentality of foreigners who continued to play well. After that, Wilkerson allowed a hit like a man possessed by something. Bae Jeong-dae, Shim Woo-joon and Rohas' three consecutive doubles followed, making it 4-0 in an instant. Wilkerson allowed six consecutive hits to Kim Min-hyuk, but Yoon Dong-hee managed to finish the inning by catching Rojas at home with a good home pitch.
Lotte recovered one run in the bottom of the fifth inning with Jung Hoon's double and Park Seung-wook's timely hit.

And Lotte shortstop Park Seung-wook dropped the next batter Moon Sang-chul's deep ground ball, resulting in the second error of the day. Wilkerson pitched just 68 pitches until the fourth inning, but he already threw 94. It's hard to continue Judging by the decision, the Lotte bench decided to replace Wilkerson.
On the other hand, Benjamin, who allowed one run but continued his good pitching, took the mound in the seventh inning. It was a ridiculous crossroads between the two pitchers, who continued the perfect march side by side.
