Park Seung-kyu, the No. 2 batter, contributed three runs, while rookie pitcher Jang Chan-hee delivered four innings of one-run pitching. Relief pitcher Lee Jae-hee added to the Lions' performance with a perfect 2 2/3 innings.
The series saw a record 19 walks and hit-by-pitches, highlighting the intense competition between these two teams.
