It was an overwhelming weekend of 22 points and 4 runs for two days following a 12-2 victory the previous day.

After the game, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was the first to pay attention to Son Joo-young. He said "The balance was a little bad in the second inning, but pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam caught it quickly. As a result of holding it with one point, he was able to pitch stably from the third inning. Despite it being his first game of the season, he pitched almost perfectly until the seventh inning. Congratulations on your first win."

For LG, the bottom of the eighth inning was the biggest crisis. LG, which was leading 5-0, faced the crisis of loading the bases with no outs due to a missed hit and a disturbance by Kim Jin-sung, a must-win group.
