The batters burst hot in the beginning. In the bottom of the second inning, leadoff hitter Chae Eun-sung hit a double, and An Chi-hong's sacrifice bunt made it one out and third base. Ha Joo-seok and Choi Jae-hoon's consecutive timely hits made the score 2-0.

In the bottom of the third inning, two home runs were hit. All of them are homers that go beyond the Monster Wall. Liberato's solo home run with one out, and Noh Si-hwan's solo home run with two outs were hit one after the other. The score is 4-0.
