On this day, Weiss pitched a no-hitter until the seventh inning.
Weiss, who started with two strikeouts in the bottom of the first inning with a 3-0 lead, and three batters in the second inning, followed by a three-out turn in the bottom of the third inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he continued his good flow by making a three-out inning.

Until now, the number of pitches was only 69. Everyone could think of the word 'no hit'.
But Weiss collapsed in the eighth inning.
The match against Na Sung-bum, the first batter in the bottom of the eighth inning. A 132-kilometer slider sprayed from 2B1S rushed into the center, and Na Sung-bum kicked it up. The high-flying ball became a solo shot to the middle wall falling under the electronic display. It was the moment when Weiss's no-hit pitch broke.

Hanwha fans, seated in the stands on the first base side, all stood up and greeted Weiss with a standing ovation as he headed for the dugout. Although the no-hit record did not continue, Weiss's strong pitching was enough to give Hanwha a great boost, which continues its last-minute run of the pennant race with hopes of the fifth round.
