Samsung tied the game in the bottom of the seventh on a RBI double from shortstop Kim Sang-su.

Samsung loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the ninth and looked to walk-off the Bears for the second straight night. Right fielder Park Han-yi hit a grounder and the runner was forced at home. Fernando Nieve got out of the jam by getting Choi Hyeong-woo to fly out to right to end the inning.

Doosan put runners on first and third with no outs in the to of the tenth. First baseman Oh Jae-won singled back up the middle to give Doosan a 4-3 lead. The Bears added some insurance on a RBI single from left fielder Kim Hyeon-su.

Samsung went fairly quietly in the bottom of the tenth to end the game.

SK 6, Lotte 2
W - Jeong Dae-hyeon (3-3), L - Ryan Sadowski (11-8)
SK HR - None
Lotte HR - None

This was actually a really close contest until Ryan Sadowski started to fatigue in the sixth inning and SK was able to get into the Lotte bullpen.

Sadowski tossed 5 2/3 innings(100 pitches, 57 strikes) and was tagged for three runs. Sadowski gave up five hits and two walks while striking out six.

Lotte held a 2-0 lead until SK rallied in the sixth inning. With runners on first and second with one out, SK left fielder Ahn Chi-yong poked a single through the left side of the Lotte defense to cut the Lotte lead in half. A wild pitch allowed the runners to move into second and third, but Sadowski retired DH Lee Ho-joon for the second out. Reliever Kang Yeong-sik was brought in and promptly gave up a base hit to first baseman Choi Dong-su to give SK a 3-2 lead.

The Wyverns added some insurance in the seventh and eighth and leaned on their deep pitching staff to keep putting zeroes on the scoreboard.

The SK win put them back in a virtual tie for second place.
