On 1st, 2nd and 3rd base, which led to Kim Joo-won’s sacrifice bunt, Ahn Woo-jin hit Do Tae-hun with an RBI sacrifice fly and allowed the score to tie 2-2.

As Kiwoom took the lead again, An Woo-jin, who met the requirements for a winning pitcher, climbed the mound in the 8th inning. However, lead hitter Park Min-woo advanced to second base with a hit and a wild throw, and gave Park Min-woo a walk, putting the first and second bases in danger. Martin caught it with a floating ball to the left fielder, but Kwon Hee-dong, a pinch hitter, hit a RBI in a timely manner and eventually allowed the game to tie again. Ahn Woo-jin was replaced by Kim Jae-woong in the 8th inning, where the two teams faced each other 3-3, with 1 company on 1st and 2nd base, and finished the mound that day. As Kim Jae-woong finished the inning without conceding, the number of runs did not increase. However, An Woo-jin’s 3 wins of the season were canceled in this game as well. Instead, Kiwoom won a dramatic ending victory with Lim Ji-yeol’s three-run home run in the ninth inning.
Ahn Woo-jin, who recorded 110 pitches, used fastball (51 pitches) – slider (29 pitches) – curve (15 pitches) – changeup (14 pitches). His highest fastball velocity was 158 km/h. His pitching was unchangingly powerful in this game, but he was unfortunately unable to become the winning pitcher as his pitching was somewhat shaky. It was also regrettable that the throwing error came out of the game in the 7th inning.
