Following Na Sung-bum's walk after one out, Kim Sun-bin stepped down with a foul fly, and the fire seemed to be extinguished. However, Davison continued the inning by missing Han Jun-su's ground ball to the first base, and Byun Woo-hyuk also got on base with a hit ball, taking a full base chance with two outs. Park Chan-ho only grounded out to the third base, but this time NC third baseman Seo Ho-chul's throw to the first base fell back, and in the meantime, two runners homered to make it 2-0. Shin Min-hyuk, who gave a walk to Socrates, complained of pain in his right elbow and added a variable to go down the mound. KIA widened the gap to 5-0 by adding three points as Choi Won-joon and Kim Do-young made consecutive timely hits against Lee Joon-ho, who took the mound in relief.

An additional point was also made in the bottom of the third inning. In a two-out first base made by Kim Sun-bin's right-handed hit, Byun Woo-hyuk and Park Chan-ho added one more point as they made consecutive hits, making KIA 6-0.

KIA made it 7-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning when Kim Sun-bin rolled up a 141km hit fastball that came into the middle of the 2B match against Lee Joon-ho, leading to a solo shot to the left.

Meanwhile, heavy rain began to fall near the end of the fifth inning, and the game was suspended immediately after the end of the inning. After 20 minutes of heavy rain, the referee appeared for the ground check. However, he judged that it was difficult to proceed with the game anymore due to the already wet ground, and eventually declared a rain cold game, ending with KIA's victory.
