Song Sung-moon broke Samsung's willingness to chase with a three-run home run over the right fence by pulling Yuk Sun-yeop's 145km high fastball at the first and third bases with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 5-2 lead. Song set a tie for most individual games with three consecutive home runs. Infielder Lee Ju-hyung, who started for the first time this season after being discharged from Sangmu, succeeded in impressing himself with four hits, two RBIs, and two runs from five times at bat.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki, who is leading the rise by succeeding in the first three consecutive sweeps of the season, said "Starting Wells prevented five innings well with smart game management. Congratulations on your first victory in the KBO League." As for the attack, the whole batting line played an even game. Batters used their concentration at every opportunity to create RBI. In particular, Lee Joo-hyung (58)'s four hits energized the team's batting lineup, and Song Sung-moon's three-run home run was a shot to seal the victory." On setting the season's most sold-out record at Gocheok Stadium with his 16th full attendance of the season, head coach Hong said, `I am happy to give victory to the fans who visited Gocheok Dome during the three consecutive weekend games. All the players were able to cheer up thanks to the enthusiastic support"I expressed my appreciation.
