The table setters, 1st and 2nd hitters, Kang Baek-ho (2 at-bats, 2 hits, 1 walk) and Mel Rojas Jr. (3 at-bats, 3 hits, 1 home run, 2 RBIs) combined for 5 hits and 6 on-base appearances in 6 plate appearances, demonstrating strong performance.

Following their victories over the LG Twins on June 8 and 9, KT achieved a three-game winning streak in the exhibition games and maintained a tie for the top spot with the Doosan Bears. Meanwhile, Kiwoom suffered two consecutive losses after their opening victory against the NC Dinos in Changwon, bringing their record to 1 win and 2 losses.

KT took the lead with 3 runs from the bottom of the first inning. Facing Kiwoom's starting pitcher Ha Young-min, 1st hitter Kang Baek-ho targeted a fastball on the 3rd pitch, hitting a double that went over the center fielder. Following this, 2nd hitter Mel Rojas Jr. exploded for a two-run home run off a fastball from Ha Young-min, achieving a 115-meter home run. Since the start of the game, the 1st and 2nd hitters easily contributed 2 runs with just 4 pitches and 2 extra-base hits.

Continuing their attack, KT increased their score with Chon Sung-ho's single to left, a stolen base to 2nd, and a walk by Jang Seong-woo. With 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd, Kim Min-hyuk hit a 1-RBI double that went behind the right fielder.

Kiwoom responded in the top of the 3rd inning, with Lee Dong-wook hitting a single to center against KT's starting pitcher Emmanuel De Jesus and Yasiel Puig drawing a walk, creating a situation with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd. Ruben Cardenas then hit a right-field double, followed by Lee Joo-hyung grounding into a pitcher’s out, bringing in 2 runs. During Lee Joo-hyung's ground ball, the runner on 3rd, Puig, made a smart decision to dash home.

In response, KT scored again in the bottom of the 3rd with 2 outs after Bae Jeong-dae reached base on a deflected ball from the pitcher and scored on Yoon Jun-hyuk's double that fell to the right of the right fielder.

In the bottom of the 5th, KT added more runs against Kiwoom's reliever Kim Yeon-joo, with Bae Jeong-dae hitting a single to center and stealing 2nd, and Yoon Jun-hyuk delivering a timely hit to center for 1 RBI.

In a continued situation with 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd, Oh Jae-il hit a timely single to the right for 1 RBI, followed by Yoo Jun-kyu's ground out at shortstop, adding 2 more runs to make the score 7-2.

KT's 1st hitter Kang Baek-ho had 2 at-bats, 2 hits, and 1 walk, while Rojas showed the power of a strong table setter with 3 hits including a home run in 3 at-bats and 2 RBIs. Chon Sung-ho, Bae Jeong-dae, and Yoon Jun-hyuk also contributed with 2 hits each in multi-hit performances.

KT's starter De Jesus, who played for Kiwoom last year, struck out 3 batters in a row in the 1st inning and completed 3 innings with 2 hits allowed, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, and 2 earned runs. Following him, Lee Sang-dong (1 inning), Moon Yong-ik (2 innings), Jeon Yong-joo (1 inning), and Park Se-jin (1 inning) all held their opponents scoreless.

Kiwoom's starter Ha Young-min took the loss after pitching 3 innings, allowing 8 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 1 strikeout, and 4 earned runs. Rookie Yoon Hyun, who came in as the fourth pitcher, allowed only 2 walks during 3 innings but performed strongly with 2 strikeouts and a no-hitter without any earned runs. In the lineup, Oh Seon-jin's single to center in the top of the 9th inning set the stage for Lee Hyung-jong's explosive two-run home run off Kang Geon, but it did not change the outcome of the game.
