Kiwoom's extra point exploded in the bottom of the second inning. The leadoff hitter Jeon Tae-hyun's double opened the door. Kim Dong-heon filled the first base with a straight walk, and Kim Tae-jin's single hit loaded the bases with no outs. As No. 9 hitter Eo Jun-seo recorded a sacrifice fly to right field, runner Jeon Tae-hyun, who was on third base, homered. Then, as Anderson's wild pitch came out, Kim Dong-heon scored, and Kiwoom widened the score gap to 3-0.
SSG also made a follow-up score in the top of the fourth inning. Park Sung-han, the leadoff hitter in the inning, hit a solo home run against Rosenberg, who was pitching scoreless. Park Sung-han hit the sixth slider in 2B2S and connected it with a solo home run over the right fence.
However, SSG's infield defense collapsed in the bottom of the fifth inning. After leadoff hitter Eo Jun-seo got on base with an infield single, third baseman Park Ji-hwan's catch error came when Puig grounded out in front of third baseman. The next batter, Lee Ju-hyung, hit a ground ball in front of the first baseman, but shortstop Park Sung-han's throwing error to the first base led to second baseman Eo Jun-seo, who turned around the third base and dug home.

SSG recovered one point with Guillermo Herredia's timely hit in the top of the sixth inning with two outs and a second base chance, but as Kiwoom right fielder Cardinez's fantastic throw to second base continued, Herredia was tagged out at second base, missing an additional opportunity to score.
Kiwoom, who had a three-point lead, ran away again in the bottom of the sixth inning. It started with Kim Tae-jin's double, and Eo Jun-seo retired with an infield ground ball, but Puig's long ball broke out. Puig hit a long shot that fell into the deep course between center field and left field, passed second base and ran to third base. The result is safe. In the meantime, second baseman Kim Tae-jin came home with ease. It could have been seen as a triple, but the record keeper acknowledged that there was a catch error by center fielder Jihoon Choi and that it was a double and an error.

SSG also chased after Oh Tae-gon with a timely RBI in the top of the eighth inning, but the gap has already widened. Kiwoom blocked Kim Yeon-joo with one run in the eighth inning after Rosenberg pitched well with four hits (one home run), nine strikeouts, one walk and two runs in seven innings. And in the top of the last ninth inning, Kim Sun-ki took the mound and finished the game without additional runs.
