The Hanwha-Samsung joint team won 3-2 in the match against Rakuten held in Miyazaki, Japan on the 21st. Kim Min-woo (Hanwha), who was out of the season in mid-June due to a shoulder injury, completed rehabilitation and pitched 3 innings. The combined Hanwha-Samsung team hit five consecutive hits in the third inning. Heo Gwan-hoe (Hanwha) had 2 hits in 2 at-bats and was the only player to record multiple hits.  

The combined team’s starting lineup includes Woo-hyun Yang (second baseman), Yoo Gyeol (designated hitter), Jin-young Lee (center fielder), Joo-seok Ha (shortstop), Jin-hyuk Jang (right fielder), Geon Kim (third baseman), Seung-min Ryu (left fielder), Kwan-hoe Heo (catcher), and Jae-sang Kim (first baseman). I went on a business trip. 

After two outs in the first inning, Lee Jin-young and Ha Joo-seok got on base with consecutive walks, but Jang Jin-hyuk was unable to capitalize on the chance with a fly ball to shortstop. 

After one out in the second inning, Ryu Seung-min walked, and Heo Gwan-hoe hit a left-field hit to create a chance for first and second base. Kim Jae-sang reached base due to an error by the second baseman and the bases were loaded with one out. Woohyun Yang’s ground ball to third base put the lead runner out at second base, but the runner on third base hit home and scored the first run. With 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd, Lee Jin-young retired with a fly ball to center field.

After one out in the third inning, the combined team took another opportunity with one out and the bases loaded with Jang Jin-hyuk’s hit to left, Kim Gun’s hit to left, and Ryu Seung-min’s hit to right. Heo Gwan-hoe hit a timely hit to left to make it 2-0, and Kim Jae-sang added another run with an infield hit to third base. The attack ended with a double play by pitcher Woohyun Yang’s ground ball. 

The combined team had only two hits after the fourth inning. After two outs in the sixth inning, Yugyeol created a chance with a double to the left, but Jinyoung Lee struck out with a missed swing. 

Starting pitcher Minwoo Kim allowed 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, and 1 run (unearned) in 3 innings. He had a hit by the leadoff batter in the third inning and induced a ground ball to third base with no outs.

However, second baseman Yang Woo-hyun made a catching error and was in danger of reaching first and third base with no outs. He even allowed the runner on second base to steal, giving up one run with a sacrifice fly on second and third base with no outs. A walk led to a crisis with one out and runners on first and second base, but the crisis was overcome with a double play by the shortstop.

Choi Ha-neul (Samsung), who pitched in the 4th inning, pitched 3 innings, allowing 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, and no runs. He gave up only one walk in the 4th inning and allowed a hit by the leadoff batter in the 5th, but ended the inning with a double play on a grounder to second base with one out. The 6th episode is a three-way trip. 

Hong Won-pyo (Samsung) took the mound in the 7th inning and allowed 1 hit and no runs in 1 inning, and in the 8th inning, Jang Ji-su (Hanwha) allowed 2 hits, 3 strikeouts, and 1 run (unearned) in 1 inning. Catcher Lee Byung-hun (Samsung) missed a 144km fastball with 2 outs and 1st and 3rd bases, allowing a runner on third base to score. The inning ended with a strikeout. Jang Ji-su recorded three strikeouts each with a fork, slider, and curve.
