With two outs and a first base opportunity made by Yeom Seung-won's hit, SSG shortstop Park Sung-han's throwing error to the second base came out when Lim Ji-yeol grounded out to shortstop, and second baseman Yeom Seung-won turned around the third base and dug home.

However, SSG maintained a one-run lead with a strong mound. Starter Kim Gun-woo stepped down after pitching in five innings with four hits (one home run), four strikeouts, two walks and three runs (two earned) and started the must-win group from the sixth inning.

Noh Kyung-eun, Kim Min, and Lee Won-woon completely blocked one inning each until the 8th inning, and Cho Byung-hyun, the closing pitcher, took the mound in the bottom of the 9th inning. Cho Byung-hyun got off to a difficult start, allowing a hit to leadoff hitter Joo Sung-won, but after inducing a ground ball against the next batter, Kim Gun-hee, he caught it himself and selected the second base to catch the leadoff runner, and drew an out decision to the first base to take a double play. And finished the game without losing a point.

As a result, SSG secured third place in the regular season on its own, regardless of the remaining three games. The advance to the postseason (the semifinals) has already been confirmed on the 29th.

SSG, which won the 2022 'Wire to Wire', finished the 2023 regular season in third place and went straight to the semi-playoffs, but was eliminated with three losses. Last year, in the first year of Lee's appointment, he used a last-minute spurt to finish the regular season tied for fifth place, but unfortunately failed to make the fall stage as he lost to KT in the ranking match.

However, in the second year of coach Lee Sung-yong's appointment, he was invited to another fall feast as he secured the third place in the regular season this year and advanced to the semi-playoff. SSG has renewed its contract with head coach Lee Sung-yong on the condition of up to 1.8 billion won for 2+1 years from next year, and has already announced it on the 3rd. SSG, which gave the coach, the final season of the contract, a boost early, will wait for the winning team in the wild card match first as it confirms the best scenario, No. 3, after fierce mid-range competition.
