Both players finished the inning without conceding a run in the second inning. However, An Woo-jin showed a somewhat uneasy appearance, giving up two walks. On the other hand, Koh Young-pyo was treated as a hitter except for allowing one on-base due to a shortstop error.
kt took the lead by breaking the balance at the end of the 3rd inning. After Hong Hyun-bin, the leader, walked, Kang Baek-ho hit, creating chances for 1st and 3rd base. Then, when Kim Sang-soo grounded, third base runner Hong Hyun-bin stepped on the groove and scored the first point.

Kiwoom starter Ahn Woo-jin eventually came down the mound and bowed his head. He recorded 4 hits, 3 walks, 8 strikeouts and 3 runs in 5 innings, and was replaced by Yang Hyeon, and left lonely. The total number of pitches is 91.
KT’s attack didn’t stop there. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Kim Sang-soo hit a timely hit at 2nd and 2nd base, breaking Kiwoom’s will to pursue.
After starter Koh Young-pyo pitched a scoreless pitch until the beginning of the 7th inning, the bullpen pitchers on the mound also locked the back door. Park Yeong-hyeon (1 inning scoreless) and Kim Jae-yoon (1 inning 1 run) defended the victory with only 1 run.
