The game also attracted the attention of fans with the game 'Park Chan-ho Match'. White, a Korean mixed-race player, has been called a legendary Korean major leaguer Park Chan-ho since he played in the U.S., and Kim Yun-ha is actually Park Chan-ho's nephew. But on this day, White laughed.
It was a tight pitching match in the beginning. Neither team was able to score points easily. Kiwoom got the chance first in the bottom of the first inning, but the chance was canceled due to a double play and a fly ball, and a 0-0 close game continued until the third inning.
And in the top of the fourth inning, SSG took a chance. Leading hitter Herredia walked to get on base, and the next batter, Han Yu-sum, had a double play at the batter's box. However, after two outs, the concentration continued. Ko Myung-joon's hit and Park Sung-han's walk began to accumulate runners again.
Two outs and a chance for first and second base. With Lee Ji-young's timely hit falling to the right of the right field, second baseman Ko Myung-joon dug home. Subsequently, the next batter, Kim Sung-wook, also added a timely hit to the left, and third baseman Park Sung-han homered. SSG, which scored two points in the top of the fourth inning, started leading 2-0.
While Kiwoom's batters were silent, SSG scored a run-away score in the top of the sixth inning. With Ko Myung-joon's hit and Park Sung-han's walk, Kim Yun-ha was brought down from the mound by creating chances for first and second bases with no outs. After two outs, pinch hitter Choi Jun-woo hit a timely hit to the middle field, and second baseman Park Sung-han scored.SSG went on a 3-0 run.
In the top of the seventh inning, he scored an additional point without a timely hit. After leadoff hitter Jung Joon-jae's hit, he stole second base. He entered the third base when Herredia hit a fly to center field, giving him a chance to hit third base with one out. Then, when Jung Joon-jae entered the home during the opponent's wild pitch, SSG ran away more.
Kiwoom finally scored its first score in the bottom of the seventh inning. With one out and runners on the first and second bases, pinch hitter Lim Byung-wook hit an RBI timely hit to start the chase.
However, in the top of the eighth inning, the Kiwoom bullpen collapsed. SSG scored as many as seven runs in one inning. After one out, Kim Chan-hyung's double and Jihoon Choi's consecutive hits led to the first and third bases. Jung Joon-jae's one-run timely hit went off.
And after two outs, Yoon-hyun was shaken. Following the wild pitch loss, Park Sung-han's two-run timely hit, Kim Sung-wook's two-run timely hit, and Kim Chan-hyung's one-run timely hit. After two outs, he showed tremendous concentration and ran to 11-1, 10 points.
The game leaned towards SSG. White earned his fifth win of the season with three hits, six strikeouts, two walks and no runs in six innings, and Kim Yun-ha took his 10th loss of the season.
