With this loss, LG has narrowed its gap to 0.5 games behind 2nd place Hanwha.

NC's Kim Joo-won reached base with a walk after two outs in the bottom of the first inning. He was caught in a pick-off attempt at first base but ran to second, as the pitcher’s throw to first was high and the first baseman’s throw to second was also high, resulting in a steal. Park Gun-woo's hit nicked the shortstop's glove and became a single in front of the left fielder. However, with one out and runners on first and third, Davidson hit into a ground ball double play to third base, wasting the scoring opportunity.

NC scored first in the 3rd inning. Lead-off hitter Kim Hyung-jun hit 5 foul balls and then connected with a 148 km/h fastball on the 10th pitch for a solo home run (his 11th of the season) over the left field wall.

Cheon Jae-hwan reached base on a hit-by-pitch, and Park Min-woo's surprise bunt towards first base turned into an infield single. Kim Joo-won's ground ball went right to the third baseman, who caught it, stepped on third base, and threw to second for an out. Then the second baseman threw to first, but the runner was safe, nearly resulting in a triple play.

Park Gun-woo hit a single to center right, creating a two-out scoring chance on first and second, and Davidson followed with a one-RBI hit, followed by Kwon Hee-dong's one-RBI hit, extending the lead to 3-0.

In the 5th inning, after one out, Park Hae-min hit a single to right, and Kim Hyun-soo followed with a single to left-center, putting runners on first and second. Austin's well-hit ball was caught by the left fielder for an out. Moon Bo-gyeong walked to load the bases with two outs.

Davidson drew a walk, loading the bases with one out. Kwon Hee-dong attempted to swing but stopped, and the ball hit the bat and rolled towards first base like a bunt. The pitcher fielded it and threw to first for the out, allowing the runner from third to score. NC extended the lead to 4-2.

NC scored again in the 6th inning. Against LG's second pitcher Lee Ji-kang, Oh Young-soo hit a single to center right, followed by a single to right by Kim Hyung-jun, creating a no-out chance with runners on first and third base.
