NC, who gave Samsung Pirella the first two-run home run of the season on the 25th in the beginning of the 4th inning, immediately got a chance to complete one-out bases at the end of the 4th inning.



Here, NC Kim Joo-won, the only 'native switch heater' active in the field, hit Samsung Won Tae-in's center change ball and pulled a full-base home run over the right fence, turning the game over at once.



NC, which drew six points in only the fourth inning, including Park Gun-woo's two-run home run, won 7-2, narrowing the ride with fifth-placed KIA to three and a half games.



KIA was caught up in a fatal error and fell into a three-game losing streak.



In the 8th inning, when Kiwoom and 0 were balanced, Nolin, a starter who was fighting, caused a no-out 2-3 crisis with a fatal bad throw at first base, and here he was hit by two RBIs by Kiwoom Song Seong-moon.



Kiwoom, which started Yokishi, Kim Seon-ki, and closing pitcher Kim Jae-woong's team shutout victory, won 2-0 and beat 4th-placed KT by one and a half with three consecutive wins.



Leading SSG defeated Lotte 3 to 1 with starting Mormando's 7 and 2/3 innings with 1 run, and advanced to the 80th win of the season.



Busy on the way, 2nd place LG was blocked by Doosan starter Kwak Bin's 6-inning scoreless pitch, and lost 5-0, and the ride with SSG was again divided into four games.



Hanwha defeated KT 4-1 with the back pitch of foreign pitcher Peña and a two-run home run of Tuckman, who managed to strike out 10, the most on the Korean stage, and held on to two outs in the 7th inning.
