Doosan got a chance to get first and second base with two outs in the top of the first inning with Lee Yoo-chan's infield hit and Yang Eui-ji's walk, but it was canceled due to Park Joon-soon's ground ball in front of the third base, and after two outs in the bottom of the second inning, Park Gye-beom's double to left-center led the runner to third base, but Kim Dae-han grounded out in front of the shortstop.
LG got its first chance to score in the bottom of the third inning. Park Hae-min's walk, Moon Sung-joo's hit, and Austin's walk created a chance to load the bases with two outs, but Moon Bo-kyung grounded out in front of the second base at the first pitch.
Chance after the crisis. Doosan scored the first run in the top of the fourth inning.
Leading Yang Eui-ji kicked Son Joo-young's low 146km fastball and fired a preemptive solo shot over the left fence. It wasn't the end. After one out, Kim Jae-hwan walked and stole second base, and made it 2-0 when Park Gye-beom hit a double on the left field.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, LG got a chance to first and third bases with no outs due to an error by second baseman Park Gye-beom that left the ball behind when Kim Hyun-soo's heavy hit and Oh Ji-hwan grounded out in front of the second base, and Koo Bon-hyuk's left-handed hit came out and chased 1-2. Lee Joo-heon hit a sacrifice bunt with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, but he fell in front of the catcher and the runner on the second base was out at third base. With one out and runners on the first and second bases, both Park Hae-min and Shin Min-jae were caught outfield flies and failed to tie.

LG got a chance to second base due to left fielder Kim Dae-han's catch error following Austin's first hit after his return in the bottom of the fifth inning, but the follow-up hit did not explode, and Oh Ji-hwan hit a triple to right-center at the bottom of the sixth inning to get a decisive chance for third base with no outs, but he was tagged out when Koo Bon-hyuk hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop.
In a situation where frustrating attacks continued, Moon Bo-kyung turned the game with a home run.
When Moon Sung-joo got on base with an infield hit deep in the shortstop after two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Austin continued the chance with a heavy hit. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Doosan posted left-handed Ko Hyo-joon. Moon Bo-kyung hit Ko Hyo-joon's high slider on the body for the fourth pitch in 1B2S. The ball, which had a fairly high launch angle of 37.1 degrees, did not fall easily and came down to the stands over the right fence. A reverse three-run shot with a distance of 114 meters. Moon Bo-kyung's 21st home run of the season became a valuable home run that put the team alone in first place.
After starting pitcher Son Joo-young stopped him with four hits (one home run), two walks, three strikeouts, and two runs in five innings, LG handled Doosan's batters with Kim Young-woo (one hitless inning), Ham Deok-ju (one hitless inning), and Kim Jin-sung (one hitless inning) in turn from the sixth inning. Ham Deok-ju won his first game of the season.
And in the lead of two points, Yoo Young-chan, who finished in the top of the ninth inning, came out. Doosan just didn't want to end it. Park Joon-soon's heavy hit on the leadoff Yang Eui-ji's double to the left created a chance for the first and third bases with no outs. Yoo Young-chan, however, took a breather by striking out pinch hitter Kim Ki-yeon.
And when Kang Seung-ho swung and missed the second pitch, first baseman Park Joon-soon stole the second base, and Park Joon-soon returned to the first base after the referee judged that the bat interfered with catcher Park Dong-won's throw during Kang Seung-ho's swing.
Again, the match continued with the first and third bases. 1B2S struck out swinging with a 150km high fastball,
And he struck out Park Gye-beom with a swing and miss in 2B2S and made 12 saves.
Doosan's starter Choi Seung-yong defended well with four hits, three walks, two strikeouts and one run (non-earned) in five innings, and Choi Won-joon also prevented the crisis in the sixth inning, but suffered a disappointing upset loss as he failed to prevent the crisis in the seventh inning.
