Kim Dong-joo gave up a right-handed hit to Kim Seon-bin in the second inning with no runners out and 1 out, and caught Hwang Dae-in with a fly to second baseman, but left-handed hit to Lee Woo-seong, facing a crisis with 2 out and 1st and 2nd base. However, he caught Han Seung-taek with a ground ball to second baseman and continued his scoreless streak.
In the 3rd inning, Kim Dong-joo got a left-handed hit by Ko Jong-wook with no runners in the second out, but Socrates was knocked out and the inning was finished cleanly.
