Lotte's Na Seung-yeop (24) unleashed an atonement home run.

On the 6th, Na Seung-yeop hit a two-run home run off KT Wiz starting pitcher Boeshley in the top of the sixth inning at Suwon KT Wiz Park. Starting at fourth in the batting order and first base, Na Seung-yeop, with his team leading 2-1 in his third at-bat, one out, and a runner on first, with a 1-0 count on the second pitch, pulled a curveball inside and sent it over the right-field fence. It was a massive arch with a flight distance of 130 meters. This was his first home run in two days since returning from suspension and his first in 235 days since a home run against the SSG Landers on September 13 last year.

Na Seung-yeop, who received a 30-game suspension from the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) in February for visiting an illegal gambling house during the Taiwan spring camp, made his first appearance of the season in a game against KT the previous day (the 5th). In his first game back, he entered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and recorded two hits in two at-bats with one RBI.

In the game where he started, Na Seung-yeop was retired in the second inning on a fly ball to the second baseman and in the third inning with one out and runners on first and third on a double play to the second baseman. However, in his third at-bat, he drew an arch and lived up to his name as the fourth hitter.

Go Seung-min (26), who also returned the previous day, started at second base and batted second in the lineup. With his team trailing 0-1 in the top of the third inning, one out, and runners on first and second, he hit a go-ahead two-RBI double to left-center field. He also led off the sixth inning with a single to left field, helping spark a four-run big inning.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung told reporters before the game, "Those two (Na Seung-yeop and Go Seung-min) are expected to play a central role in our lineup, and they have done so consistently. They showed that with yesterday's results. I viewed their batting form and their presence at the plate very positively."
