KIA lowered Jeon Sang-hyun, who was on the mound, and put up Choi Ji-min, but back-to-back walks came out. SSG took the flow with 5 runs in the sixth inning alone.

From then on, it led to a pitching competition. Following Kim Kwang-hyun, Lee Rowoon (1 scoreless inning) and Kim Gun-woo (1 scoreless inning) came up one after another to keep the victory.
