| The leadoff batter Shin Min-jae's 8th pitch match-up walk → The nail that allowed Moon Sung-joo's two-run shot at first base with no outs looks absurd. |

| Shin Min-jae, who was the leadoff hitter in the first inning, persistently bit his ace nails. |

LG table setter Shin Min-jae and Moon Sung-joo sweated out KIA's starting nail, which ranks second in the quality start (18th) league, from the first inning.
The first inning is the hardest for a starter. Ace Nail struggled from the first inning against LG's batters, who scored 14 points by producing 12 hits including three home runs the previous day.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop put Shin Min-jae and Moon Sung-joo as table setters as they did the previous day against KIA ace nail. Shin Min-jae, who was the leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning, watched a 151km fastball in the middle of the first pitch. The 151km fastball seemed to enter the strike zone high on the second pitch, but ABS declared the ball.
Nail, who was sure of the strike, took off the mouthpiece she was wearing and was disappointed. In the ensuing match, Shin Min-jae confidently turned the bat on the ball entering the strike zone and fouled one after another. Nail, who did not want to give up a walk, eventually gave up a walk to Shin Min-jae, who had a good pioneering eye.

Leading hitter Shin Min-jae, who bullied the opponent's starting pitcher from the start of the first inning, walked on base and advised Moon Sung-joo, who enters the batter's box, on the pitch and course of the nail, before walking toward the first base. Moon Sung-joo, who remained silent the day before with one out and a runner on the first base, probably thanks to Shin Min-jae's advice, pulled Nail's 148km fastball, which came in high on the fourth pitch in the 1B 2S unfavorable count, and hit a two-run shot.
Moon Sung-joo, who hit a two-run shot in his first at-bat against Ace Nail, cheered vigorously around the base. When Shin Min-jae, who scored, turned back and stretched out his hands, home run hitter Moon Sung-joo gave a high-five and smiled broadly.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who was watching the game with no expression when Moon Sung-joo's two-run shot broke out, also smiled. In the first inning, Moon Sung-joo's two-run shot and Chun Sung-ho's timely hit in the second inning led LG 3-0 against KIA's ace nail at the beginning of the game.
On the contrary, KIA failed to take advantage of the full base chance with one out in the bottom of the third inning, which could have turned the game around with a big shot. Following Choi Hyung-woo, who struck out with the bases loaded, Wisdom grounded out to third base and failed to score a run.
