KT came out strong against Doosan starter Kwak Bin in the first inning. After the tablesetters Kim Min-hyuk and Lee Ho-yeon put runners on first and second with a walk and a hit, Hwang Jae-gyun broke the 0-0 tie with a single up the middle. Park Byung-ho followed with a single to right field and Alford reached on a fielder’s choice to score Lee from third. However, a foiled second and third base opportunity was nullified when Kim Sang-soo grounded out to the first baseman.
From the second inning, it was a tense pitching battle between Kwak Bin and KT starter Ko Young-pyo. KT was most disappointed in the fifth inning. Oh Yoon-seok and Choi Jae-dae singled and Lee Ho-yeon walked to load the bases, but Hwang Jae-gyun struck out on a full count.

Doosan had a chance to rally in the seventh inning with Kang Seung-ho walking and Heo Kyung-min singling to right, but Jung Soo-bin ended the inning with a fly out to left field.
