The "Elotrasico" between the LG Twins and the Lotte Giants was held after a fierce battle for two consecutive days. While LG caught the game on the first day of the three consecutive games during the week, the game on the 21st, the next day, was a close game.메이저놀이터
The lone lead LG and the third-ranked Lotte drew 7-7 after a bloody battle in the 11th inning of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 21st. With 31 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses, LG maintained its lone lead by 2.5 games ahead of the second-ranked Hanwha Eagles, while Lotte remained in third place by three games behind the first-ranked LG.
In the first of three consecutive games on Saturday, LG scored 17 points by tying 12 hits and 13 walks, while Lotte also scored nine points on 17 hits and five walks. On the second day of Sunday, a fierce battle took place with no one predicting the outcome of the match in Gyeonggi Province.
LG scored the first run. With one out in the top of the first inning, Park Dong-won, a bases-loaded walker made by Moon Bo-kyung, followed by consecutive hits by Kim Hyun-soo and Austin, struck out. However, with Song Chan's lucky infield hit, third baseman Kim Hyun-soo homered, and LG scored the first run.
After one out in the top of the second inning, LG seemed to take the early victory as Lee Young-bin and Kim Hyun-soo ran to 3-0 with two solo home runs.
However, Lotte's batters were also daunting. After Jeon Joon-woo's double at the bottom of the second inning, Na Seung-yeop's hit, Yoon Dong-hee's timely RBI double were combined to catch up with two runs. LG's lead was narrow, with a score gap of 1-2.
Lotte turned the tables in the fourth inning. Following consecutive hits by Na Seung-yeop and Yoon Dong-hee, Son Ho-young gave him a chance to load the bases with no outs and a walk. After tying the game when Information Goon hit a double play, Jang turned the game around 3-4 due to Jang Doo-sung's timely hit to left.
Then, LG hit back again. In the top of the fifth inning, Moon Bo-kyung, the leadoff batter of the inning, hit a double to open fire. Moon then advanced to the third base due to Park Dong-won's sacrifice bunt, and made it 4-4 by hitting home due to opponent team's error after two outs.
Lotte also led the game 4-5 thanks to Jeon Min-jae's double and Yoon Dong-hee's RBI single that followed Na Seung-yeop's walk in the bottom of the fifth inning. However, LG immediately balanced the game 5-5 with Lee Young-bin's second solo homer on the day in the top of the sixth inning.
LG, riding the flow, scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning by combining Koo Bon-hyuk's timely hit and Oh Ji-hwan's sacrifice fly, which were made by Moon Bo-kyung's hit and Park Dong-won's walk, and succeeded in turning the tables 7-5.
However, Sajik's Elotrasico drama did not end there. With one out in the bottom of the eighth inning and pinch-hitter Yoo Kang-nam's hit, Lotte scored a two-run homer, a tiebreaking two-run homer over the right fence, with two outs and Ko Seung-min tying the game 7-7.
In the top of the ninth inning, LG lost a golden opportunity to turn the game around. After the ninth inning with one out, when Lotte closer Kim Won-joong took the mound, LG had two outs and runners on the second and third bases with Oh Ji-hwan's grounder following consecutive hits by Song Chan-ui and Koo Bon-hyuk. However, as pinch hitter Ham Chang-gun ended up hitting a fly ball to the right field, he failed to create a scenario for a comeback after losing a point this time.
Lotte also missed the opportunity to score with one out and second base in the bottom of the ninth inning, which was made by Jeon Joon-woo's dune and Jeon Min-jae's sacrifice bunt, and the game went to extra time.
From the 10th inning to the 11th inning, when the bullpen game began in earnest, both teams failed to create a special opportunity, and in the end, the game ended without either team winning after a fierce battle.
Since starting pitcher Lim Chan-kyu stepped down with 11 hits, two walks and five runs in 4.2 innings, five pitchers, including Lee Ji-gang, Kim Jin-sung, Park Myung-geun, Lee Woo-chan and Sung Dong-hyun, have taken the mound, but failed to win. After starting pitcher Na Kyun-an went down with eight hits (two homers) and two walks (three earned runs) in five innings, Lotte's Chung Hyun-soo, Jung Chul-won, Song Jae-young, Kim Sang-soo, Kim Won-joong and Choi Jun-yong poured in their bullpen must-win team, but they couldn't avenge their defeat the previous day.
