Choi Jung-eun hit a timely RBI in the top of the third inning with two outs and runners on first and second base made by consecutive hits by Cho Hyung-woo and Park Sung-han in the final game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th.
In the match between Kim Gun-woo and Park Se-woong, Kim Gun-woo faced a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second base with Han Tae-yang's double and Reyes' walk after one out in the bottom of the first inning. However, he overcame the crisis by treating Yoo Kang-nam with a fly ball to center field. In the bottom of the second inning, Kim Min-sung was allowed a hit on the left-field line after two outs, but Kim Min-sung was out at second base.
Lotte's Park Se-woong allowed a hit to Herredia in the first inning, but finished the inning without any special crisis. In the second inning, he struck out Hyun Won-hoe and Ha Jae-hoon, and made a three-way exit.
