Lotte Group Chairman Shin Dong-bin, the owner of the Lotte Giants, has become a "victory fairy" once again.

Led by manager Kim Tae-hyung, Lotte won 8-2 in Game 4 of the season against the Doosan Bears of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Saturday. Having won for two consecutive games, Lotte posted 15 wins, one draw and 12 losses (0.556).안전놀이터

On the mound, starting pitcher Tucker Davidson showed off his outstanding pitching. Davidson had five hits, three strikeouts and two runs in six innings, posting his third win of this season along with a quality start (more than six innings as a starter and three earned runs or less). In the batting lineup, Na Seung-yeop performed his part by making two hits and three RBIs from four times at bat, including one homer. Table setters Hwang Sung-bin and Ko Seung-min, who both made multi-hits, also contributed to their team's victory.

A surprise guest visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the day. The main character is Chairman Shin Dong-bin. A Lotte official said, "Chairman Shin visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium to cheer for the team. We did not inform the team in advance (of Chairman Shin's visit to the baseball stadium)," he explained.

Chairman Shin Dong-bin, who took office as the owner of the team in January 2020, watched on-site the LG Twins (0-4 defeat) on April 27, 2021, the Sajik Hanwha Eagles (2-0 victory) on July 13, 2022, the Sajik LG (3-2 victory) on October 8, 2022, the Sajik Hanwha game (7-5 victory) on June 13, 2023, the Jamsil Doosan game (5-1 victory) on May 17, 2024, and the Sajik Hanwha game (0-7 defeat) on August 28, 2024. Before the game, Chairman Shin's "intuitive" winning rate was high at 0.667 (4-2 losses).

Lotte displayed concentration from the beginning of the game in front of its owner. When the first batter Jeong Su-bin hit in the bottom of the first inning, outfielder Yoon Dong-hee handled a tricky hit, and in the top of the second inning, Cho In-geun and Ko Seung-min scored a timely hit to lead the game 2-0.

Lotte, which widened the gap due to Hwang Sung-bin's timely hit with an RBI single in the top of the fourth inning, allowed two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing the gap by one point. However, Na Seung-yeop shot a two-run shot in the top of the seventh inning to lead the team by three runs, and Lotte added three runs in the top of the eighth inning alone, solidifying its spirit of victory. Lotte ended the game with a six-run victory. It was a perfect victory both in the outcome and process.

Chairman Shin Dong-bin gave generous applause to the players. "I hope both the team and the front desk will display their fighting spirit to meet the support of the Giants fans who cheer for us every game," he said through the club.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, "The starting pitcher Davison threw well with two runs in six innings, and the bullpen pitchers that followed prevented him well. Na Seung-yeop's two-run shot at an important moment enabled us to win," adding, "I would like to thank the owner for visiting the ballpark and giving him encouragement and support even though he was busy."

Na Seung-yeop said, "The team atmosphere is so good these days. (The victory on the 25th) made us win consecutively, and I think the chairman is more energized thanks to his sincere affection and interest."

Meanwhile, Lotte aims to win its third consecutive game against the Doosan Bears on Wednesday. Na Kyun-an will have a showdown with Zach Rogue as the starting pitcher. The showdown between the two teams will begin at 2 p.m., not 5 p.m., due to terrestrial broadcasting.
