Chun Jae-hwan's shot decided the game. The end of the game was a victory for the NC Dinos.

NC won the second game of the weekend series against the Hanwha Eagles at Changwon NC Park on the 16th, 9-6, with Chun Jae-hwan's winning shot in the top of the ninth inning.

With this victory, NC recorded its 50th win (6 draws and 51 losses), and was on the verge of a 50% win rate again. He also took another step at the challenge of making the top five, which was confused by third-place Lotte Zion's crash.

Hanwha, on the other hand, took a step back from its 43rd loss (65 wins and 3 draws) to compete for first place with the LG Twins. It has also put an end to its recent five-game winning streak.

Unlike the previous day, Seo Ho-cheol and Choi Won-joon were moved to right field instead of Kim Hui-jip at third base, Park Gun-woo was the designated hitter, and Choi Jung-won was the center fielder. Park Se-hyuk, who was registered on the day, participated instead of Ahn Jung-yeol.

NC manager Lee Ho-joon, who met before the game, said "Only the pitchers had a separate meeting today. I told him to stick to his fastball because he has good pitching, and to put it in like Jung Woo-joo from Hanwha yesterday. Our pitchers are second to none. He raised his voice, saying, "You have to throw a strike first to win the game."

Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon warmly praised Kim Ki-joong and Jung Woo-ju. Especially for Jung Woo-ju, it is effective to go to the 2nd Army. The rhythm and balance have improved."

It was NC who gained the upper hand. Contrary to expectations, Hanwha starter Moon Dong-joo was hit hard from the start.

In the bottom of the first inning, NC Kim Joo-won got on base with a right-handed hit, followed by Choi Won-joon's RBI triple on the right-wing line and Park Min-woo's RBI triple on the left-wing line. Davison then hit Moon Dong-ju's 153km fastball and continued with an RBI double to the right-center. Lee Woo-sung's timely hit with one out and third base scored four points in an instant.

In the top of the second inning, Hanwha walked leadoff hitter Noh Si-hwan after a struggle to reach 10 pitches. Chae Eun-sung's hit then became the first and third base with no outs, and Ha Joo-seok's timely hit, Shin Min-hyuk's wild pitch, and Lee Do-yoon's sacrifice fly were combined to catch up with two runs.

After the starting pitchers of both teams have settled down, the pitcher's battle seems to be in full swing. However, Hanwha had an accident in which starter Moon Dong-joo was replaced by NC Choi Jung-won's right arm during the bottom of the fourth inning. Hanwha quickly warmed up Cho Dong-wook.

Hanwha reversed the mood in the top of the fifth inning when Noh Si-hwan fired a tying two-run shot with two outs and a runner on first base. NC was also full of players. Park Min-woo's sacrifice fly immediately scored one point in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Kwon Hee-dong's timely hit again in the bottom of the sixth inning widened the score to one more point. In the process, there was also a bench clearance in which Hanwha Ha Joo-seok and NC Shin Min-hyuk collided at the top of the sixth inning.

Hanwha followed Noh Si-hwan with another tying two-run shot in the top of the eighth inning. However, NC quickly widened the gap to 9-6 in the bottom of the eighth inning with Shin Jae-hwan shooting the winning shot, pinch hitter Kim Hwi-jip's wedge shot, and second baseman Choi Jung-won's wit, who dug home during the opponent's wild pitch.

In the ninth inning, closer Ryu Jin-wook took the mound, blocking Hanwha's pursuit and finishing the game.
