The quiet KIA lineup completely destroyed Patrick by scoring seven runs in the top of the sixth inning. Kim Ho-ryeong opened the door with a double to right-center. Kim Sun-bin hit a timely hit to the right of the center fielder to balance 1-1.
Wisdom walked out on a continuous first base opportunity with no outs. Na Sung-bum is a second baseman in-field flyout. Oh Sun-woo took the batter's box with one out and runners on the first and second bases, but he did not miss Patrick's change-up at the ball count of 1B1S and hit it high, scoring a superior three-run shot. It was a big home run with a driving distance of 126.5 meters.
KIA, which turned it over 4-1, pushed Patrick more here. The KT bench could not easily change pitchers. After two outs, Han Jun-su's walk and Park Chan-ho's hits gave him a chance to load the bases. The batting order goes around once and again, Kim Ho-ryeong at-bat. Kim Ho-ryeong blew a three-run timely double that fell behind center field as if he was waiting, widening the distance to 7-1.
KIA ran away one more run with Na Sung-bum's home run in the top of the seventh inning. He hit KT right-hander Kim Dong-hyun's fastball at 148 kilometers per hour. 8-1.
