KIA 8, Hanhwa 6
W - Roman Colon (1-0), L - Jose Capellan (0-9), S - Yoo Dong-hoon (8)
KIA HR - None Hanhwa HR - Kim Tae-wan (8), Jeong Won-seok (3)
This final sounds closer than the game really was. Hanhwa mounted a late rally against a shaky KIA bullpen to make the final sound closer than it was. Jose Capellan was battered for a lot of runs in a few innings again. KIA first baseman Choi Hee-seop and second baseman Ahn Chi-hong both enjoyed three RBI evenings. KIA starter Roman Colon turned in a solid effort. Colon tossed five innings(89 pitches, 58 strikes) of one-run baseball. Colon allowed six hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out two. Hanhwa DH Kim Tae-wan hit a solo homer off of Colon for the only run the Eagles got off of Colon. Kim had more success against the KIA bullpen and finished 3-5 with a double, a stolen base, four RBIs and two runs scored. KIA closer Yoo Dong-hoon struck out two during a scoreless ninth inning. Yoo was one of the few KIA relievers not to give up runs.
