Actively attacking was effective.” LG coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “I am most sorry for the fans who came to the stadium to watch the away game. It must have been regrettable that they could not see their favorite players.”

The starting pitchers on both teams put runners on base early in the game, but did not concede. Tanner started with a hit by Hong Chang-ki in the first inning. However, Hong Chang-ki sprinted to second base and slid, and in the process, his body fell off the base and he was tagged out. After that, Shin Min-jae hit and went out, but Tanner didn’t get a follow-up hit by Kim Min-seong and Austin.

In the top of the second inning, lead hitter Oh Ji-hwan was caught with a floating ball by third baseman. Afterwards, he allowed a hit to Moon Bo-kyung, but struck out Park Dong-won and handled Park Hae-min as a ground ball to second baseman. In the third inning, lead batter Park Hae-min got to base with an infield hit, but Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae, and Kim Min-seong blocked it.

Plutko was also in danger from the first episode. After Son A-seop hit, he caught Park Min-woo and Park Gun-woo with a fly ball and a strikeout in left field, respectively. However, he allowed Martin to walk and faced a crisis on 1st and 2nd base, but he struck out Kwon Hee-dong.

In the second inning, he started by catching Do Tae-hoon with a left fielder, but was hit by a double by Seo Ho-cheol. However, Kim Joo-won and Ahn Jung-yeol were treated as floating balls. Even in the bottom of the third inning, he sent a runner in scoring position. Leading batter Son Ah-seop got a hit. Park Min-woo’s sacrifice bunt made it 1 out and 2 base. However, Son A-seop failed to steal bases. Afterwards, Park Gun-woo walked and Martin hit, creating opportunities for first and second base, but Kwon Hee-dong struck out and withdrew.

LG broke the balance of 0 in the top of the 4th inning. Oh Ji-hwan hit a one-run home run with no runners on the first run. He pushed Tanner’s 147km/h four-seam fastball outside and crossed the left wall. With this home run, Oh Ji-hwan reached 2,400 bases in his personal career. It is the 42nd record in KBO league history.

NC immediately balanced. Do Tae-hun and Seo Ho-cheol’s consecutive hits broke out. Kim Joo-won reached base with a walk and reached the bases safely. Plutko induced Ahn Joong-yeol to double-seat, but in the meantime, Do Tae-hoon came home and scored. Son Ah-seop then stepped back with a ground ball in front of the first baseman. NC requested a video review related to SAFE. But the centrifuge was maintained.

In the top of the 6th, LG took the lead again. Leading batter Shin Min-jae got a hit and advanced to second base with Kim Min-seong’s sacrifice bunt. Austin, who entered the plate, hit a timely one RBI that went ahead again. Oh Ji-hwan’s double hit created a chance for 1 company, 2nd and 3rd base. NC lowered the tanner and put Kim Young-gyu on the mound. Moon Bo-kyung, who entered the plate, widened the score by scoring two RBIs and a timely triple against Kim Young-gyu. Park Dong-won then scored an RBI with a third baseman grounder.

NC pursued 1 point at the end of the 6th inning. With no runners in the second out, Kim Joo-won sent a batted ball in front of the left fielder. Moon Seong-joo tried to catch the ball while sliding, but failed to catch it. The ball has gone backwards. In the meantime, Kim Joo-won ran around third base and ran home. He scored one run with an inside-the-park home run. This is the third inside the park home run in the KBO League this season.NC narrowed the score again at the end of the 8th inning. Do Tae-hoon hit a one-run home run against Kim Jin-seong in a situation where there was no runner. Kim Jin-seong’s 144km/h four-seam fastball was driven into the middle, and he hit the ball and drew a superior solo arch.

In the bottom of the 9th inning, LG closer Ko Woo-seok treated pinch hitter Kim Hyung-joon with a fly ball to right fielder and Son Ah-seop to third baseman ground ball. After Park Min-woo got a hit, Park Kun-woo’s batted ball hit the second base umpire’s foot. KBO Game Rules 5.06(c) Ball Dead Rule 6, ‘If a fair ball that does not touch an infielder (including pitcher) is hit by a runner or an umpire in fair territory, or a fair ball that does not pass through an infielder (excluding pitcher) is called to the umpire If hit – Each runner who must clear a base by becoming a runner advances.’ 

Park Kun-woo’s infield hit made it 2 out, 1st and 2nd base. Then, with Martin’s 1 RBI, NC narrowed the difference to 1 point. Kwon Hee-dong stepped into the plate at the 2nd out 1st and 3rd base opportunities that followed. Kwon Hee-dong hit a 3-run home run against Go Woo-seok, and NC recorded a winning series.
