Samsung's Kim Hun-gon is cheering after hitting a two-run shot with two outs and a runner on first base in the top of the third inning. Daejeon = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2024.09.12/
In the top of the third inning, Samsung's leadoff hitter Diaz hit a hit. Two outs later, Kim Hun-gon's two-run home run came out. Later, Jeon Byung-woo's double and Ryu Ji-hyuk's timely hit widened the score to 7-0.

Hanwha continued to score in the bottom of the third inning. After one out, Hwang Young-mook's double and Choi Jae-hoon's timely hit followed one point. However, the score did not continue due to the failure of the follow-up hit.

Hanwha has steadily succeeded in getting on base since then, but each time, double plays have hampered it. In the bottom of the ninth inning, leadoff hitter Chae Eun-sung drew a walk, and after two outs, Ha Joo-seok hit a hit to create a scoring chance. It became the first and third base, but it failed to break the silence after the third inning as the follow-up hit did not continue.
