Doosan's offense in the top of the fifth inning. Doosan's batting lineup, which had been blocked by LG starter Choi Chae-heung, began to revive little by little. Leading hitter Kang Seung-ho hit a triple against starter Choi Chae-heung. Doosan announced the chase with Park Gye-beom's timely hit with one out and third base. After that, Jung Soo-bin's hit and Lee Yoo-chan's walk gave him a chance to load the bases with one out.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop lowered starter Choi Chae-heung and put in Jang Hyun-sik to avoid allowing additional runs. Jang Hyun-sik, who struck out Cave, the first batter with the bases loaded with one out, rarely threw a strike in the match against Yang Eui-ji, the fourth batter.
Jang Hyun-sik threw a 147km fastball, driven by the unfavorable count of 3B 1S. Yang Eui-ji, who had never swung at the batter's box and carefully selected the ball, turned the game around with a single swing when a fastball came into the strike zone.

At the moment when he needed a running score in the top of the seventh inning when he was leading by 5 to 32 runs, Cave hit a home run this time. When pitcher Lee Ji-gang's 146km fastball, which was changed to one out, was concentrated in the middle, Cave did not miss a real pitch.
