Hanwha broke the 0-0 balance in the sixth inning. After one out, Noh Si-hwan got on base with an infield hit.

The next batter, Chae Eun-sung and An Chi-hong, hit an RBI double to bring in the runner. Hanwha took a 2-0 lead. Moon Dong-ju, who took the mound in the sixth inning, pitched 28 scoreless pitches in two innings against Lotte's batters. Moon Dong-ju was perfect enough to record a maximum speed of 159 kilometers.
Hanwha's closing main phenomenon took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning. There was also a crisis of losing points with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, but in the end, he flew Jeong-hoon after two outs and finished the game scoreless. Hanwha's 2-0 win.

Hanwha starter Um Sang-baek pitched perfectly for the second time in the exhibition game. It clearly showed the reason for the 7.8 billion FA transfer.
Um Sang-baek faced Lotte's batters with a fastball and change-up in the late 140km period. Lotte hitters failed to hit the ever-changing pitch of Um Sang-baek with a positive hit. Um finished the inning quickly. 44 balls in five innings was enough.
