In the top of the first inning, Doosan's runner was first on base due to Oh Myung-jin's walk, but the follow-up hit failed, and SSG's chance at first and second bases with no outs was canceled in the bottom of the first inning. With a hit by leadoff hitter Jihoon Choi and an infield grounder by Guillermo Herredia, runners on first and second bases with no outs. Choi Jung and Han Yu-sum struck out consecutively, followed by Ko Myung-joon, who was caught on a ground ball to second base, finishing the bottom of the first inning scoreless.




SSG's scoring opportunity disappeared in the second inning as well. After leading hitter Ahn Sang-hyun walked to base, he stole second base. Ahn Sang-hyun went to third base when Lee Ji-young hit an infield grounder, but No. 9 hitter Park Ji-hwan struck out swinging.

Both teams' attacks have calmed down since then. SSG finally scored the first point in the bottom of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, fourth batter Han Yoo-som's home run, who was the leadoff hitter, hit a home run. Han Yu-som hit a 138-km slider in the third pitch of the 2S against Kwak Bin and connected it with a solo home run over the right fence. It was his 12th home run of the season. SSG took a 1-0 lead.

Doosan, which had been quiet, aimed for a break in its strength as Kim Kwang-hyun's number of pitches increased in the top of the sixth inning. After two outs, Doosan hit three consecutive hits. With consecutive hits by Oh Myung-jin and Cave, runners began to accumulate on the first and second bases.

With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, No. 4 hitter Yang Eui-ji brought second baseman Oh Myung-jin home with a timely hit to the left that broke Kim Kwang-hyun's scoreless score. This is the moment Doosan tied 1-1. However, Doosan failed to score additional points as Kim Jae-hwan struck out at the opportunity of second and third bases with two outs that led to Yang Eui-ji's steal of second base.

After that, a close race continued again. SSG succeeded in stealing second base after Jung Joon-jae got on base due to an opponent's shortstop error after two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Lee Ji-young walked to first base, but both runners tried to advance during the opponent's wild pitch, but the opportunity for scoring rights was futile when first baseman Lee Ji-young was tagged out at second base.

SSG also missed a chance in the bottom of the eighth inning. After leadoff hitter Choi Jun-woo walked to the base, Jihoon Choi's bunt failure led to one out and one base. Herredia hit a heavy hit after a close full count, increasing the number of runners to two. However, this time again, Choi Jung struck out and Han Yu-som stepped down with a fly to the left field, leaving the central lineup silent.

With two outs and runners on second base, rookie Park Joon-soon hit a fork ball for the fifth time in 2B2S against Cho Byung-hyun and connected it with a timely hit in front of center field. The pinch runner hit the mark. The fast-paced Cho quickly turned around the third base and dug home, breaking the long 1-1 balance. This is the moment Doosan took the 2-1 lead.
