KIA had been on the verge of losing the three consecutive games due to its strong performance and Choi Hyung-woo's absence. Still, Kia had nails done. Nails showed what role ace should play in a crisis.
It was a tight pitching match. In addition to nails, Hanwha left-hander Hwang Jun also overwhelmed KIA's lineup with confident pitches that have changed significantly from last year's rookie season. Until the third inning, neither team scored a point.
The balance was broken at the beginning of the fourth inning. KIA created a chance when leadoff hitter Park Chan-ho hit an infield hit to the second baseman. Then, Oh Sun-woo's missed ball fell in front of the center field, giving him a chance to hit first and third bases with no outs.
