The pitcher on the mound stomped his feet and felt unfair. Immediately, the head coach ran out to the ground.

SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 27th. Game 3 of the weekday series between SSG and Lotte Giants was held. SSG Park Jong-hoon and Lotte Na Kyun-an faced off as starters.

However, there was a problem not long after the start of the game. In the top of the first inning, Lotte's first batter, Yoon Dong-hee, walked to get on base.

Jung Hoon, the second batter, also persisted until the ball count of 3B2S. Park Jong-hoon released his feet just before throwing the sixth ball and made a move to check at first base. I didn't throw the ball.

At this time, the referee declared the pitcher's balk. Yoon Dong-hee slowly headed to second base, and Park Jong-hoon insisted that it was not a balk. That you've already taken your foot out before taking the check action.

Pitchers must throw the ball to the fielder when they take a check action on the pitchboard. However, you don't have to throw after you take your foot off the pitchboard.

Manager Lee Sung-yong had already rushed out of the dugout and headed to the mound as soon as the balk was declared. In response to coach Lee Sung-yong's strong protest, the judges reached an agreement on the fourth trial.

Commentator Park Yong-taek said "It seemed to me that Park Jong-hoon had already pulled his foot out in a comfortable position." Even after watching the slow painting "I think it's enough to say that your foot definitely fell off the plate. Park Jong-hoon's protest must be the same."

The result of the agreement of the fourth trial was canceled. The referees visited the Lotte dugout and delivered the contents of 'cancellation of the balk', and head coach Kim Tae-hyung also appeared to protest for a while, but turned around with a look of absurdity.

Park Jong-hoon faced a crisis of first and second bases with no outs by giving up a walk to Jung-hoon, but Ko Myung-joon quickly threw it to second base when Na Seung-yeop grounded out to first base, continuing with one out and runners on first and third bases. Reyes was then struck out, and Jeon Jun-woo's well-hit ball was caught well by center fielder Jihoon Choi, ending the first inning without losing a point.
