Coach Lee Ho-joon's NC Dinos won two consecutive exhibition games.
NC won 6-3 in the first round of the exhibition game against the KIA Tigers at Changwon NC Park on the 10th with a two-stroke performance. NC, which ended the previous two consecutive exhibition games against the Kiwoom Heroes with one win and one loss, has won two consecutive games against defending champion KIA.
On the other hand, KIA, which had one draw and one loss with the Lotte Giants in Busan, postponed its first opportunity to win the exhibition game until the next time.
Both teams tested backup players rather than main players.
In the case of NC, if KIA took the mound as the starting pitcher, it was scheduled to use its best power, but KIA put in high school graduate rookie Kim Tae-hyung to start backup-level players except for No. 1 designated hitter Son Ah-seop.
KIA also planned to have its main players play two games in Busan, check the backup players on the same day, and put in the main players once again on the 11th to improve their condition.
But regardless, for the players who have to make the opening entry, it's a match that's like the 'Korean Series'. That's how fierce it was.

NC's batting lineup, which failed to score against the shaky Kim Tae-hyung in the second inning, brought a perfect victory in the third inning. No. 1 Son Ah-seop and No. 2 Park Si-won hit consecutive hits against KIA Lim Ki-young, who took the mound in the third inning. Kim Sung-wook's walk loaded the bases. No. 4 Han Jae-hwan struck out, but No. 5 Park Han-gyeol hit a two-run double. In addition, Park Se-hyuk's extra RBI hit to the middle.
KIA hit a solo shot in pursuit against NC starter Choi Sung-young, whose leader Lee Woo-sung had kept scoreless until the third inning in the top of the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth inning, Kim Sun-bin drew an RBI single from changed pitcher Son Joo-hwan and followed it to a three-run gap.
However, NC scored a decisive point with Kim Sung-wook's home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. KIA had Kim Kyu-sung's RBI single in the top of the seventh inning, but it was too late to follow.
Choi Sung-young, who is in fierce competition for native starters, will be properly impressed by coach Lee Ho-joon with his good pitching of one run in four innings. The maximum speed of the fastball was only 139 kilometers, but the power of the fork ball that fell like a fastball was great. KIA batters had a hard time attacking because of the good angle of the slider. In addition to Choi Sung-young, NC is holding a showcase for Lee Yong-chan, Mok Ji-hoon, Shin Min-hyuk, Kim Tae-kyung, and Shin Young-woo to enter the starting rotation.
NC kept its victory with Son Joo-hwan, Lim Jung-ho, Jeon Sa-min and Kim Si-hoon following Choi Sung-young. Kim Si-hoon, a finisher, caused a bases-loaded crisis in the ninth inning, but struck out Kim Seok-hwan to overcome the crisis.
KIA's high school graduate rookie outfielder Park Jae-hyun started as the second-center fielder on the day, but it was comfortable because he played on the third base.
