Lotte formed the starting lineup in the order of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Park Seung-wook (striker), and Han Tae-yang (third baseman).

For Kiwoom, Song Sung-moon (third baseman), Lim Ji-yeol (left fielder), Lee Ju-hyung (middle fielder), Choi Joo-hwan (first baseman), Ruben Cardinez (designated hitter), Won Sung-joon (right fielder), Kim Gun-hee (catcher), Kwon Hyuk-bin (second baseman), and Eo Jun-seo (striker) were selected as starters.




Lotte first broke its silence in the top of the fifth inning, with both team starters pitching scoreless until the fourth inning. Leading hitter Yoo Kang-nam hit a hit and stepped on second base with a foil. Lotte, which had a chance to get the first and third bases with no outs with Park Seung-wook's hit, became the first and second bases with two outs due to Han Tae-yang's strikeout and Hwang Sung-bin's groundout. Cold water was poured down, but Ko Seung-min's timely hit, who returned to the first team, scored the first run. After that, Yoon Dong-hee's walk and Reyes' two-run double made it 3-0 to run.

After two outs in the top of the seventh inning, Lotte made it 4-0 with Ko Seung-min's walk, Yoon Dong-hee's hit ball and Reyes' timely hit.

Kiwoom also broke his silence in the bottom of the seventh inning. Leading hitter Cardinez hit a single, followed by Oh Sun-jin's double after two outs. Oh Sun-jin played in defense in the top of the sixth inning and achieved 1,200 individual matches.




Kiwoom's leadoff hitter Song Sung-moon hit in the bottom of the eighth inning, and he managed to steal second base after one out. However, no additional points were scored as the follow-up hit did not continue. In the bottom of the ninth inning, leadoff hitter Cardinez also hit, and Lee Yong-kyu's hit and error from the at-bat made it to the first and third bases. However, Kim Gun-hee and Oh Sun-jin struck out and even Joo Sung-won stepped down, eventually failing to catch up.

Lotte kept the victory by operating a must-win group that led to Choi Jun-yong in the bottom of the eighth inning and Kim Won-joong in the bottom of the ninth inning, while Park Se-woong kept the mound until the seventh inning. Choi recorded his 10th hold of the season. Kim Won-joong made his 25th save of the season.
