One point tight, Austin was out for a pitch clock violation at the end of the game.
LG Austin, who was the first batter in the bottom of the eighth inning, played against KIA Cho Sang-woo. Austin boldly turned the bat when his first fastball of 146km and second fastball of 145km entered the strike zone. The result is foul. Austin, who had been sluggish with a batting average of 0.069 to 29 at-bats in the last 10 games, gradually increased his batting sense by hitting a double from his first at-bat on the day.
The moment when Austin's long shot at the end of the game could have been expected to tie the game. Austin boldly turned the bat and raised expectations. 0B 2S Austin, who entered the batter's box following the routine as usual, was embarrassed by referee Lee Young-jae's declaration of a pitch clock violation and froze as it was.
At this time, KIA manager Lee Bum-ho, who kicked out of the dugout, appealed that Austin was not ready to hit within 8 seconds. Referee Lee Young-jae declared the pitch clock strikeout as it was after coach Lee Bum-ho appealed.
Since the introduction of the pitch clock, an unprecedented scene has been produced. Pitch Clark says a pitcher must pitch within 20 seconds when there is no runner, and throw within 25 seconds when there is no runner. The batter must complete the batting preparation with both feet in the at-bat at the time 8 seconds are marked. If this is violated, the pitcher will eat the ball and the batter will eat the strike.
Austin was ready as usual after 2S and went over 8 seconds.

After the introduction of the pitch clock, Austin also played more than 300 at-bats and could not easily leave his position due to the first situation he experienced.
In the first scene, LG fans understood the situation only after referee Lee Young-jae held up the microphone and was explained that "Austin struck out for a pitch clock violation after 2S."
