Yang Eui-ji started as the fourth batter catcher in the last game of the first half against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 4th. In the bottom of the fourth inning, when the score was 0-0, he hit a two-run shot that broke the balance.
Both teams' starters Wilkerson and Kwak Bin continued their good pitching and fought 0-0. Wilkerson marched 'Perfect' without a single batter getting on base until the bottom of the fourth inning with one out. He turned all 10 hitters into miscues.
However, with one out, Huh Kyung-min made a hit to left field. The next batter, Ramos, struck out.
It was Yang Eui-ji after that. In the ball count 1SB1S, he hit a 139km cut fastball in the middle and sent it over the left fence. It was a bullet with a speed of 167km and a range of 120.7m.

It was a big home run with a batting speed of 169.1km and a driving distance of 125.8m.
