However, with one out and runners on first and third base, Song Seong-moon retired due to a double play and was unable to score any additional points.
SSG, which overcame the crisis with the minimum number of goals conceded, immediately balanced the situation.

Then, Heredia came out to bat and hit a timely hit with an RBI, tying the score at 1-1.
