LG's Oh Ji-hwan was excluded from the starting lineup due to the effect of being hit by pitch the previous day. Koo Bon-hyuk played as the shortstop, giving Lee Young-bin his chance to start at second base.

In the 2nd inning, with LG leading 1-0 and one out, Lee Young-bin hit a solo home run over the right field wall, taking advantage of a 129 km forkball from Lotte starter Noh Kyun-an. It was his first home run of the season.

In the top of the 7th inning, LG took the lead 7-5 with a 1-RBI hit from Koo Bon-hyuk and a sacrifice fly from substitute Oh Ji-hwan with one out and runners on 1st and 3rd. Lee Young-bin was replaced by Choi Won-young in the bottom of the 8th while leading 7-5.

Lee Young-bin was called up to the first team again on the 13th and recorded no hits in 4 at-bats over 5 games until that day. Receiving a starting opportunity after a long time, he hit 2 home runs. Lee Young-bin previously hit 2 home runs against Hanwha on Sept. 8, 2024. His career total is 5 home runs until last year, and on that day, he hit his 6th and 7th career home runs.

Meanwhile, in the bottom of the 8th inning with 2 outs and a runner on 1st, Go Seung-min hit a game-tying two-run home run. Lotte's Kim Won-jung and Choi Jun-yong took the mound in the 9th and 10th innings, respectively, and kept LG scoreless.
