Although he failed to record a walk-off hit after one hit, Park Han-kyul was able to enjoy the joy of being baptized with a timely hit in his first at-bat.

After the game, head coach Kang said, "At an important moment in the bottom of the 11th inning of extra time, Park Han-kyul decorated his first at-bat of his debut with a timely hit that led to a thrilling come-from-behind victory. Starting pitcher Shin Min-hyuk also pitched well and set the stage for victory. First of all, I think we were able to win today thanks to our fans who cheered the team up until the end with passionate support." Coach Kang continued, "I would like to say to all the players who played hard even in difficult situations, well done." I pray for the health of Seo Ho-chul, who was hit by a dead ball during the game, he said.
