KIA took the lead in the 3rd inning when Na Sung-bum hit a 3-run homer over the left-center field fence with the score tied at 1-1. However, the mound allowed a game-tying 3-run homer to pinch hitter Kim Jae-hwan in the 6th, and subsequently gave up a solo shot to Choi Ji-hoon, allowing a turnaround.

The offense then stepped up.

In the 7th, with one out and a runner on second, Kim Do-yeong hit an RBI double to tie the game.

Then, in the 8th with no outs and bases loaded, it seemed the opportunity might slip away following a double play by Park Jae-hyun, but with two outs and runners on second and third, Kim Ho-ryeong hit a 2-RBI timely hit to finally flip the game.

With momentum on their side, KIA sealed the victory as Castro hit a 2-run homer over the right field fence.

Fourth-place KIA defeated SSG 9-5 and extended its winning streak to three games.

KT defeated LG 4-1, continuing a dominant 7-game winning streak.

Starting pitcher Ko Young-pyo led the team to second place with a perfect performance, allowing 4 hits and no walks with no runs over 6 innings.

Lotte stopped league-leading Samsung's 4-game winning streak thanks to Jeon Min-jae's 3-RBI double in the 9th inning with two outs and bases loaded in a game tied at 8-8, and Doosan defeated NC behind the performance of Kang Seung-ho, who recorded 4 RBIs alone, to extend its winning streak to three games.

Hanwha failed to protect a 7-run lead and ended in a 9-9 draw against Kiwoom.
