From the early innings, SSG's home run factory was in operation, taking the lead. In the 1st inning, lead-off hitter Choi Ji-hoon reached base on a walk, and then Choi Jun-woo hit a two-run home run to grab the lead.

In the 2nd inning, lead-off hitter Shin Beom-soo reached base on a walk.

Then, Choi Jeong hit a two-run double to left field, bringing all runners home. The two RBIs allowed the runner on first base, Choi Jun-woo, to score due to a defensive error in NC's relay process. In the continued opportunity with two outs and a runner on third, Han Yoo-seom's timely hit to right field added 4 runs in the 2nd inning alone, increasing the lead to 6-0.

However, NC narrowed the gap back to 2 runs in the top of the 3rd inning. Lead-off hitter Ahn Jung-yeol walked, but Kim Han-byeol's fielder's choice resulted in two outs.

In the continued two outs with runners on first and second, Davidson's timely single to center drove in another run, followed by a two-RBI double from Park Gun-woo, bringing them back within 4-6.

From the bottom of the 5th inning, SSG began to widen the gap again. Lead-off hitter Ko Myung-jun hit a solo home run. Continuing with walks from Park Seong-han and Shin Beom-soo created an opportunity. Jeong Jun-jae struck out, but Ahn Sang-hyeon's walk kept the bases loaded with one out. Choi Ji-hoon hit an infield fly to the second baseman for the second out, but a defensive error by the opposing team allowed SSG to score, making it 8-4.

In the top of the 6th inning, NC scored a run from a ground ball by Ahn Jung-yeol with one out and bases loaded. However, SSG extended the lead from the bottom of the 6th.
