Lim Chan-kyu, who struck out Hwang Bo-hau, the leadoff hitter in the top of the second inning, also caught Guotiensing with a fly ball to right field. He gave up a third baseman infield hit to Ling Chun-jun, but he ended the mission by striking out Jung Tsu-jong.

Lim Chan-kyu, who recorded 10-6 losses and a 3.83 ERA with LG this season, proved his native ace by becoming a winning pitcher in all three baseball games this fall. With Ryu Joong-il in trouble due to a series of injuries to the starting pitcher, he showed passion to go straight to the national team at the request of manager Ryu.

Weiqiu Safety is Lim Chan-kyu's first real game since joining the national team. He performed well even during accumulated fatigue and short training periods, raising expectations for his performance in this tournament.
