Before the game on this day "I thought a lot about it, but I think it would be better to have a good pitcher."The decision has changed." The choice was bullpen ace Jeon Sang-hyun.
The result was a disastrous failure of Samsung.
Kim Young-woong's first pitch was short. Catcher Kim Tae-gun throws it to third base and force out. Park Byung-ho struck out a half swing on a fastball. Yoon Jung-bin walked and continued his hope of loading the bases with two outs, but Lee Jae-hyun rushed to hit Jeon Sang-hyun's breaking ball, ending the inning with a ground ball in front of the pitcher.
