The two teams continued to turn the tables on the 23rd. On this day, ace pitchers from the Major League played a breathtaking game of luxury pitchers. The final winner was Hanwha. It won a thrilling second-half victory for two consecutive days, securing the Winning Series with two consecutive wins after seven consecutive losses.
Hanwha won the Samsung Lions game at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 24th, winning 3-2 with Peraza's walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning.
It was Samsung's responsibility to gain the upper hand following the previous day.
In the top of the second inning, Kim Young-woong's hit and Lee Sung-kyu's throw put him on the first and second bases with no outs. Ryu ran out of Ryu Ji-hyuk's bunt like a lightning bolt and threw it to the third base without delay. Kim Hun-gon struck out Ryu Hyun-jin's sharp cutter. Samsung's chance to fail.
No. 9 Kim Hyun-joon saved it. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Ryu Hyun-jin's 138km cutter was pushed to the left-field line. A shot to make a 1-0 first run.

Samsung's batters allowed Ryu Hyun-jin to throw out three consecutive innings in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. I wriggled again in the seventh inning.
Yoon Jung-bin, who was put in defense in the second inning due to Lee Sung-kyu's thigh discomfort, opened the door with a leadoff hit to the left. Ryu Ji-hyuk succeeded in a sacrifice bunt this time, with one out and runners on second. Kim Heon-gon's heavy hit made it one out and runners on first and third. Once again, Kim Hyun-joon showed his solver instinct.
In the unfavorable ball count of 1B2S, Ryu Hyun-jin's high fastball outside 145km was pushed without much greed to create a sacrifice fly in left field. 2-0.

Choi Jae-hoon's dune made runners on first and third bases with no outs.
