KIA consisted of Park Chan-ho (striker), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Ko Jong-wook (left fielder), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Wizdum (third baseman), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Oh Sun-woo (first baseman), Kim Tae-gun (captor), and Kim Ho-ryeong (middle fielder). They were placed as school hitters on the first to third batters so that as many runners as possible gathered in front of Choi Hyung-woo.

Park Hae-min, who hit a tie-breaking three-run shot as Shin Min-jae, who was replaced during the game the previous day due to back tightness, was excluded from the starting lineup.
Chirinos, who took a long break for 17 days after taking the mound against Samsung on the 5th, showed a clear effect of rest. Until the seventh inning, he had only two hits and tied the KIA lineup with no runs without four outs.
KIA starter Kim Do-hyun pitched well in the early stages and had an equal starting fight with Chirinos, but the small difference was slightly different.
In the end, Park Hae-min's top hitter card succeeded. At the top of the fourth inning when it was 0-0, Park Hae-min hit Kim Do-hyun's 145km fastball and hit a preemptive solo shot over the right fence. Park Hae-min penetrated LG's attack, which had been blocked perfectly until the third inning.
