Anderson took the mound nine days after the Kiwoom Heroes match in Incheon on the 12th. I took a rest because I felt uncomfortable in the front of my right thigh.

Anderson threw fastballs (46) with curves (19), changeups (19), and sliders (10). The maximum speed of the fastball was 156km, proving that there was no problem with his condition anymore.




From the seventh inning, Kim Min (1 inning), Jeon Young-joon (1 inning), Park Si-hoo (one run in the ⅓) and Noh Kyung-eun (in the ⅔ innings) continued to throw to keep the victory.

SSG's batters failed to break down natural enemy Ko Young-pyo, but they squeezed the necessary points to win. Ko Young-pyo was strong enough to record two wins, 12 innings and a 1.50 ERA in two games against SSG this year.
