However, Doosan made a big inning in the bottom of the second inning.
Doosan, which made runners on first and second bases with no outs with leader Park Joon-soon's heavy hit and Ahn Jae-seok's left-handed hit, almost cut off the flow of offense due to Park Gye-beom's failed sacrifice bunt and struck out, but Kim Min-seok hit a right-handed hit to score one point. With one out and runners on the first and third bases, Jung Soo-bin scored one more run with a surprise bunt hit to tie the score 2-2. And Doosan, which loaded the bases with one out with Lee Yoo-chan's walk, struck out Kang Seung-ho, and Cave hit a fly to center field and the inning seemed to end. However, KT center fielder Stephenson, who was going to catch the ball, suddenly stirred both arms. That means he lost the ball. It was when the sun started to go down, and when the ball flew up, outfielders sometimes missed the ball, and Stephenson missed the ball when the runner was loading the bases. When the ball came down, Stevenson saw the ball and tried to make a diving catch, but it became a hit that fell in front, and in the meantime, all three runners homered. a 5-2 turnaround.
KT, which scored one run in the top of the third inning with Kang Baek-ho's left-center double and Jang Sung-woo's timely hit, trailed by 3-5 and two points, turned the tables with a single in the top of the fifth inning.
Doosan's acting manager Cho Sung-hwan decided to replace starter Choi Min-seok when Ahn Hyun-min and Kang Baek-ho had consecutive hits after one loss. Choi Won-joon took the mound and caught Kim Sang-soo with a shortstop fly. However, Jang Sung-woo was walked and loaded with two outs, and Hwang Jae-kyun hit a 135km slider that came to the middle of the second pitch in 1B to hit a grand slam over the left fence. He turned the tables 7-5 at once. His ninth career bases loaded.
Choi Min-seok allowed eight hits, one walk, four strikeouts, and five runs in four ⅓ innings.

Doosan didn't stay put either. In the bottom of the fifth inning, the lead Kang Seung-ho hit a solo shot to reach a one-run gap, adding one point with Cave's walk, Yang Eui-ji's infield hit, and Ahn Jae-seok's right-handed hit with one out and runners on the first and third bases made by Park Joon-soon's infield ground ball to tie the score 7-7. With one out and runners on first and second bases, Park Gye-beom and Kim Min-seok stepped down as Bum-taro and failed to turn the tables.

After 1 out, Lee Yoo-chan got on base with an infield hit in front of the first baseman and walked to second base with Heyesus' balk. Kang Seung-ho stepped down with a fly to the second base, but Cave hit a hit between left and center field to bring Lee Yoo-chan home. 8-7 Reversal.
In the end, KT also changed pitchers. Son Dong-hyun came up during Yang Eui-ji's at-bat.
