Rosenberg pitched two innings as the starting pitcher, followed by Ha Young-min and Kim Yoon-ha, who pitched two innings each. Afterwards, Yoon Hyun (1 inning), Kim Dong-gyu (1 inning), and Cho Young-gun (1 inning) took charge of the mound in turn.

Rookie players displayed outstanding performance in the batting lineup. Rookie infielder Jeon Tae-hyun, who had his first chance to start in a practice game, tied the game by hitting a solo home run over the right fence in the top of the third inning when his team was trailing 0-1. Kiwoom, which lost points in the fourth and fifth innings in a row, trailed the game 3-4 with Lee Yong-kyu's two-run homer in the top of the sixth inning.

The game was decided dramatically in the top of the ninth inning. With the bases loaded with no outs, rookie infielder Yang Hyeon-jong hit an RBI sacrifice fly to tie the game 4-4, and follow-up hitter rookie infielder Eo Jun-seo hit a timely RBI single to turn the game around and wrap up the game with a final score of 5-4.

Jeon Tae-hyun, who hit his first home run in a practice game, said, "I was nervous because it was my first start, but I played boldly with confidence. I'm happy that the good results came out, and it was an opportunity to gain confidence." Regarding the home run situation, he said, "After the first pitch became a ball, I checked the defense position of the third baseman and tried a surprise bunt, but the ball came back in. I only aimed for fastballs from the advantageous ball count, but I got a home run," he said, explaining the situation at the time.

Eo Jun-seo, the main character of the final hit, said, "The decision to play actively from the first pitch with the idea of 'I've been preparing for this moment' in the waiting at-bat led to good results. It's a practice game, but I'm happy to contribute to the team's victory."

Meanwhile, the Kiwoom Heroes will have their sixth practice game against the Taigang Hawks at 2 p.m. on March 1 at Cheongho Baseball Stadium, including Kaohsiung. The game will be broadcast live exclusively on the live platform "SOOP."
