It was a game in which Samsung started with native ace Won Tae-in and Kiwoom started with foreign ace Rosenberg, who leads the starting lineup lonely with Ha Young-min. It was a game in which Samsung had to win in order to break the losing streak and Kiwoom had to win in order not to fall into a losing streak.
It was a tight pitching match. Neither pitcher gave anyone a score until the fourth inning. Won Tae-in was impressive in his blade-like control and game management using every corner of the ABS zone. In the first inning, he faced a crisis with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, but he overcame the crisis by double-jabbing Lee Hyung-jong due to the induction of a ground ball by Cadines.

Rosenberg was also the so-called 'Scratch Day'. A more impressive pitch than Won Tae-in. The unique ball control-oriented game management stood out. In particular, Samsung hitters were helplessly hit by sliders flowing outside left-handed hitters.
The first time the balance was broken was in the 5th episode. Kiwoom scored the first run. In the bottom of the fifth inning, leadoff hitter Kim Tae-jin hit a double to left-center against Won Tae-in, who was playing well. Kiwoom ordered Kim Woong-bin to sacrifice bunt after seeing Rosenberg's condition, and Kim Woong-bin performed the operation well. Kim Jae-hyun hit an infield ground ball and wasted a chance, but Oh Sun-jin scored the first point with an RBI double.

However, Samsung immediately balanced it in the top of the sixth inning. After one out, leadoff Kim Ji-chan got on base with a left-handed hit. The game team's third hit of the day. Kim Ji-chan was out on second base when Kim Sung-yoon hit an infield grounder, but Koo Ja-wook's walk created a chance for the first and second bases with two outs. Diaz at the plate. Diaz, who struck out swinging in the previous two at-bats, hit Rosenberg's ball. A well-hit ball headed toward first baseman Cadines. A fast but catchable hit. However, it was tied when Cardinez missed the ball. The record is a hit.

Since then, the two teams have different ways of using pitchers. Kiwoom started the bullpen in the seventh inning. Won Tae-in, who had a small number of pitches, continued to take the mound. And Won Tae-in faced a major crisis in the bottom of the eighth inning. One out later, he hit Oh Sun-jin and was hit by a double by Song Sung-moon. It's a crisis with one out and runners on second and third. Here, Lee Joo-hyung even got on base with a dune. It almost gave up the winning run just by getting hit with a sacrifice fly.
Kadynes at the plate. Here, Won Tae-in induced Cadines to a 6-4-3 double play. It was a moment when the economic trend rapidly flowed toward Samsung.

Kiwoom posted a finishing lead with a game management that did not give up in the top of the ninth inning. But what's wrong with this. Kim Young-woong, who entered the batter's box after one out, kicked Joo Seung-woo's low fork ball and connected it with a large home run over the center fence of the stadium. his seventh shot of the season. It was a home run that would relieve the stress of extreme sluggishness with a batting average of 182, one home run, and two RBIs in the last 10 games.

But Samsung couldn't laugh. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Lee Ho-sung was put in, but he gave up the tie by causing a full base crisis with no outs. He gave up a sacrifice fly RBI to Kim Dong-heon in the crisis with the bases loaded with one out, and it was fortunate that he did not suffer a walk-off loss.

Both teams failed to score 10 times. In the final 11th inning, the game was eventually decided. Samsung drew a walk against pitcher Lee Kang-joon, whose pinch hitter Lee Sung-kyu changed in the top of the 11th inning. Feeling something bad, Kiwoom Bench lowered Lee Kang-joon and put left-hander Yoon Seok-won in. Samsung is a "sacrifice bunt" operation. I put in a pinch hitter Yang Yang-geun. It was all the way to 2S, but he sent the runner to second base with a bold three-bunt.
Kim Young-woong is an automatic four-baller. And Yoon Seok-won walked Ryu Ji-hyuk to get on base due to poor control of the ball. a bases-loaded crisis. It was Kim Ji-chan, who started after a long time after shaking off a hamstring injury at the batter's box. Yoon Seok-won also failed to throw a strike against Kim Ji-chan. It was driven to 3B1S, and Kim Ji-chan pulled the ball lightly to catch the strike without being greedy. a timely RBI single to the right. Samsung sealed the victory by hitting a sweeping double in Koo Ja-wook's bases-loaded chance.

Samsung, which took the lead after many twists and turns, put up Kim Jae-yoon in the bottom of the 11th inning to end the game. Kiwoom also did its best until the end, not giving up and narrowing the score with Lim Byung-wook's triple and Kim Tae-jin's sacrifice fly.
Samsung starter Won Tae-in allowed five hits, three walks, six strikeouts and one run in eight innings. Kiwoom starter Rosenberg also pitched well with one run in six innings, but he lost his chance to win four games by tying the game in the ninth inning.
