<Reporter> In the
beginning of the 3rd inning, Kiwoom Lee Yong-gyu fouled KT's Despine's tricky ball one after another.
At the moment when he retreated with a ground ball at first base after hitting 5 fouls and going to the 10th pitch, Despaine yelled at Lee Yong-gyu, and Lee Yong-gyu protested strongly and a battle of words broke out.
In the very next inning, Kiwoom starter Han Hyun-hee threw the first pitch at KT Cho Yong-ho to the knee and hit the second pitch, KT players rushed to the ground, and tension was once again.
After Han Hyun-hee apologized and the situation was settled, KT's reverse show unfolded.
In the sixth inning, three points behind, he scored four points, including a comeback two-run home run by Jang Seong-woo, and turned the game over and ran for eight consecutive wins.
