Lee Jae-hyun's hit came out after one out. Kim Sung-yoon is a flyout. No. 3 Koo Ja-wook's at-bat. Koo Ja-wook's hit flew high as if hitting the ceiling of Gocheok Dome. a ball that a second baseman or right fielder can catch. However, Kiwoom rookie second baseman Yeom Seung-won failed to judge the ball properly and missed the ball, making it a hit. Lee Jae-hyun, who played hard while the ball was floating in the second period, easily homered, and Koo Ja-wook was presented with a double. It was not easy to handle a high fly ball at Gocheok Dome because Yeom Seung-won, who recently played in the first team after undergoing elbow surgery after joining the team.
