The home team KT lined up against Lotte's starter Lee Min-seok with Hwang Jae-kyun (third baseman), Kim Min-hyuk (left fielder), Mel RAY (right fielder), Ahn Hyun-min (center fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Jang Sung-woo (catcher), Kwon Dong-jin (shortstop), Cheon Seong-ho (second baseman), and Moon Sang-cheol (first baseman). Compared to the first game, the catcher was changed from Kang Baek-ho to Jang Sung-woo, and Cheon Seong-ho replaced Kang Min-seok as the second baseman.

In response, Lotte formed its lineup against KT's starter Oh Won-seok with Yun Dong-hee (center fielder), Jeong Hoon (first baseman), Victor RAY (right fielder), Jeon Jun-woo (left fielder), Yu Gang-nam (designated hitter), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Kim Min-seong (second baseman), Lee Ho-jun (shortstop), and Jeong Bo-geun (catcher). Veterans like Jeong Hoon and Kim Min-seong took the field instead of Na Seung-yeop and Ko Seung-min.

The first score belonged to KT. In the bottom of the first inning, with one out, Kim Min-hyuk broke the ice with a hit, and RAY helped the runner advance to second with a ground ball to first base. Ahn Hyun-min then broke the zero balance with a timely hit that went off the bat.

In the bottom of the third inning, KT had a chance with two outs and the bases loaded due to Hwang Jae-kyun's hit by pitch, RAY's single to center field, and Ahn Hyun-min's walk, but Kang Baek-ho ended the inning with a ground ball to the second baseman.

The Lotte batting lineup equalized the score in the top of the fourth inning. With lead-off batters Jeon Jun-woo and Son Ho-young on base due to walks, Lee Ho-jun was hit in the head by Oh Won-seok's first pitch slider at 130 km/h. Lee Ho-jun collapsed on the ground, complaining of significant pain, and was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance. Park Seung-wook was substituted in at first base. Following this, Jeong Bo-geun earned a walk after 11 pitches against Oh Won-seok, bringing the score to 1-1.

Both teams faced disappointment in the sixth inning. In the top of the sixth, with two outs, Kim Min-seong hit a single and Park Seung-wook walked to set up runners on first and second, but pinch hitter Ko Seung-min struck out. For KT, lead-off batter RAY hit a single, Jang Sung-woo reached on a throwing error by third baseman Son Ho-young, and Kwon Dong-jin walked to load the bases, but pinch hitter Jang Jin-hyuk grounded out to the second baseman.

In the top of the seventh inning, Lotte had lead-off batters Yun Dong-hee and RAY walk, while Jeon Jun-woo faced looking strikeout, and Son Ho-young grounded out to the third baseman. They could not overcome the wall of Won Sang-hyun.

In the top of the eighth inning, lead-off batter Son Seong-bin was again hit on the back of the helmet by Son Dong-hyeon’s third pitch forkball and complained of pain. Fortunately, Son Seong-bin managed to get up and walked to first base, while Park Seung-wook advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, but Ko Seung-min hit a pop-fly to the left fielder, and Jang Doo-seong recorded a pop-fly to center field after a 10-pitch at-bat. The inning ended.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, KT created a no-out opportunity with a walk from lead-off batter RAY and a fielder's choice from Ahn Hyun-min to put runners on first and second. However, this time Kang Baek-ho grounded into a double play against the new pitcher Song Jae-young, and Jang Sung-woo made an outfield fly to right against Kim Sang-soo.

In the final bottom of the ninth inning, with one out, Kang Min-seong drew a walk against Lotte’s closer Kim Won-joong after seven pitches. Then, pinch runner Park Min-seok advanced to third base after a wild pitch and a ground ball to the pitcher by Yun Jun-hyuk, and Hwang Jae-kyun stole second after a walk. With this, there were two outs and runners on second and third, but Bae Jeong-dae struck out swinging after a full count, ending the game as it stood. There is no extra inning in the doubleheader.

KT starter Oh Won-seok pitched 5⅔ innings, allowing 3 hits, 7 walks, striking out 3, and giving up 1 run on 96 pitches, while Lotte starter Lee Min-seok went 6 innings with 5 hits, 3 walks, striking out 5, and allowing 1 run on 104 pitches, both delivering solid performances, but neither bonded with victory. However, substitute starter Lee Min-seok made his first debut quality start, impressing manager Kim Tae-hyung.

After a day of rest, Lotte will face the KIA Tigers in a three-game series starting on the 13th in Gwangju. KT will travel to Pohang to face the Samsung Lions.
