Hanwha's `Ace' Cody Ponce played his part properly. Ponce, who went down the mound in only 70 innings in 6 innings in the previous game, kept the mound without losing a point in 6 innings.




Samsung starter Choi Won-tae, on the other hand, allowed four runs, including two home runs, but lasted seven innings.

Hanwha formed the starting lineup in the order of Kim Tae-yeon (right wing), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Ha Joo-seok (striker), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Hwang Young-mook (second baseman).

For Samsung, Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Park Seung-gyu (middle fielder), Kim Tae-hoon (left wing), Lee Byung-hun (fourth baseman), and Lee Yang-geun (second baseman) were listed in the starting lineup.




Hanwha got the first run. In the bottom of the second inning, leadoff hitter Chae Eun-sung hit a double, followed by An Chi-hong's sacrifice bunt. Ha Joo-seok's timely double came out with one out and third base. Choi Jae-hoon's timely hit also made the score 2-0.

An additional point came out in the bottom of the third inning. After one out, Liberato hit Choi Won-tae's first pitch change-up and passed the right monster wall. Before the afterglow disappeared, a home run over the Monster Wall came out once again. With two outs, Noh Si-hwan hit Choi Won-tae's fastball to make a home run. Roh Si-hwan's 20th home run of the season. With this home run, he continued his streak of 20 home runs for three consecutive years.

Since then, it has been a pitching match. Samsung's Kim Sung-yoon hit a double with two outs in the top of the eighth inning, but failed to break the silence of zero as the follow-up hit did not continue.




Hanwha sealed the match in the bottom of the eighth inning. Leading hitter Kim Tae-yeon did not miss Kim Tae-hoon's fastball in the middle and hit it over the left fence. Kim Tae-yeon's third home run of the season.

Samsung's Kang Min-ho hit with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, but it did not lead to a follow-up hit.

After Ponce pitched six innings, Joo Hyun-sang (1 scoreless inning), Han Seung-hyuk (1 ⅔ scoreless inning), Cho Dong-wook (0 scoreless inning), and Kim Seo-hyun (1 ⅓ scoreless inning) came up one after another to keep the victory.

On the other hand, Samsung minimized the burden of the bullpen with Choi Won-tae in charge of seven innings. Following Choi Won-tae, Kim Tae-hoon (one run in one inning) came up to finish the game.
