Jihoon Choi and Choi Jeong stepped down with a fly ball to right field and a fly ball to left field, respectively. However, first baseman Choo Shin-soo settled at second base when Choi Jung made a fly ball. It was a base running that caught Hanwha's defense off guard. Follow-up hitter Guillermo Herredia hit a grounder to third base with two outs and runners on second base. Third baseman Noh Si-hwan caught the ball and threw the first base, but the ball went one-bound. The ball fell back due to Chae Eun-sung's failure to catch, and second baseman Eredia scored in the meantime. It is SSG who scored the first goal due to an opponent's error. 스포츠토토탑
