It was a game where you can't let your guard down for a moment, from the thrilling battle of exchanging four home runs to the heartbreaking moments and bench clearing, which is rare in the KBO League.
It was impressive to see starter Shin Min-hyuk take charge of the mound until the sixth inning even while allowing four runs. Hanwha also followed Noh Si-hwan with a two-run shot in a row, but who expected NC's Chun Jae-hwan, who came in as a pinch runner in the bottom of the sixth inning, to appear after two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and shoot the winning shot. Kim Hwi-jip, a pinch hitter who followed, said, "The back-to-back home run was a more unimaginable shot. NC closer Ryu Jin-wook defended his difficult victory by stabbing a maximum 150km fastball as the head coach wished.

After the game, NC manager Lee Ho-joon recalled "Today's game was not easy, but the biggest factor in the victory was that the players showed their will to cut the losing streak with one mind."
Then "In the eighth inning of crisis, consecutive batter home runs by Chun Jae-hwan and Kim Hwi-jip brought more than a victory."````. Above all, I would like to thank the fans for their great support. I will prepare well for tomorrow's game and show you a good performance."
