After two outs, this time, Ko Myung-joon hit a two-run double to the left that hit the bottom of the left fence, leading to a 5-0 run.
After that, Han Yu-sum walked to load the bases and loaded the bases again. KIA bench replaced the pitcher with Kim Sa-yoon, but SSG's attack did not stop. With the bases loaded, Kim Min-sik scored an RBI with a pushover walk, and third baseman Ko Myung-joon scored when Jung Joon-jae grounded out in front of the second baseman.

With one out, the first pitch thrown to Choi Won-joon became a head shot that bounced off the helmet and was automatically sent off according to the regulations. Fortunately, Choi Won-joon was not injured, but SSG had to operate the bullpen from the third inning even though the score difference was wide.
Choi Min-joon, who suddenly took the mound following Oh Won-seok (2nd ⅓ scoreless innings), was sluggish with 5 runs in 1 ⅓ innings, Han Doo-sol allowed 1 run in 2 innings, Seo Jin-yong allowed 1 ⅔ scoreless inning, and Baek Seung-gun allowed 1 ⅓ scoreless inning.
