Doosan's batting lineup, which was hot the day before, cooled down coldly after meeting Hanwha ace Cody Ponce. He had only two hits until the sixth inning.

Hanwha also struggled against Doosan starter Choi Seung-yong. Only Liberato had two hits, but he couldn't get a hit until the sixth inning.

Only after the starting pitcher went down did the scoring start to come out. Hanwha broke the silence first in the top of the seventh inning. Doosan's Park Chi-guk was placed on the mound, and leadoff hitter Noh Si-hwan hit a double. Hanwha, who took the chance, immediately broke its silence with Chae Eun-sung's timely hit.

He scored, but it was a bad inning. Ha Joo-seok's sacrifice bunt and Hwang Young-mook's hit made the bases loaded with no outs, but Choi Jae-hoon's ground ball, Shim Woo-joon's strikeout, and Choi In-ho's fly ball failed to score an additional point.

Hanwha has a very large variable. Park Sang-won came out in the seventh inning instead of Ponce, who threw 70 pitches until the sixth inning. He could have activated the bullpen, but there was no reason to lower Ponce, who had strong momentum. An official from Hanwha said "He was replaced due to symptoms of muscle clumping on his right shoulder. It has no effect on the next game.

As Ponce went down, Doosan also pierced the blocked blood. Leadoff hitter Cave hit a hit, followed by Kim Jae-hwan's two-run home run after one out. Kim Jae-hwan has achieved double-digit home runs for 10 consecutive years. Doosan, which once again set the scoring stage as Park Joon-soon hit a triple, scored an additional point with an opponent's wild pitch. After that, Oh Myung-jin and Yang Seok-hwan's consecutive doubles widened the score to 4-1.

The atmosphere was handed over, but Hanwha also hit back once again. In the top of the eighth inning, leadoff hitter Liberato hit a hit, and Moon Hyun-bin's hit made it to the first and third bases with no outs. Later, Roh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-sung's consecutive timely hits allowed Ha Joo-seok to strike out 3-4, but Hwang Young-mook's infield hit and Choi Jae-hoon's timely hit made it 4-4. a series of bases loaded with one out. However, Shim Woo-joon's strikeout and Lee Jin-young's groundout prevented Hanwha from bringing back the lead.
