NC's counterattack began at the end of the fifth inning. Leading hitter Kim Joo-won got on base with a hit to the right and made NC's first score with a wild pitch and Choi Jung-won's timely hit. After that, Park Min-woo got a ground ball error to the second base, and NC, which had a full base chance with Seo Ho-chul's infield hit, narrowed the gap to 2-7 with Davison's sacrifice fly.

NC, which changed the atmosphere, made a big inning in the bottom of the sixth inning. Leading hitter Kim Hwi-jip hit a single, and added a point with a hit by Chun Jae-hwan and an error from Kim Joo-won's at-bat.

As the crisis continued on the first and third bases with no outs, Kiwoom eventually lowered starter Ha Young-min and raised Kim Yeon-joo. Park Se-hyuk drew a grounder to shortstop, but the third baseman homered.

Kim Yeon-joo's ball control shook sharply. After Choi Jung-won drew a walk, Park Min-woo stepped down with a fly ball, but Seo Ho-chul went out with a hit ball and loaded the bases. Davison's sweeping double made the score 7-7.

A march of zero from the seventh inning. In the end, he couldn't decide the game in the regular inning.

Kiwoom broke the balance in the top of the 11th inning. Park Soo-jong hit the shortstop and fell back. Meanwhile, Park Soo-jong settled on second base. Later, Lee Joo-hyung's timely hit took the lead 8-7 again.

Kiwoom, which once again brought the flow, continued its chances on the first and second bases as a pitcher's ground ball from Kim Joo-hyung's at-bat led to a shortstop catch error, and Song Sung-moon's timely hit widened the score to 9-7.

NC lowered Kim Si-hoon, who was on the mound, and raised Han Jae-seung. Kim Gun-hee was grounded out, but after giving up consecutive walks to Choi Joo-hwan and Lee Seung-won, Ko Young-woo hit a two-run timely hit, sealing the game 11-7. Since then, Kiwoom's score has risen to 12 points with a walk to push.

NC's leadoff hitter Do Tae-hoon got on base due to an opponent's error, but it did not lead to a score.
