The game between Doosan Bears and Hanwha Eagles resumed after being suspended twice due to rain for a total of 106 minutes (1 hour 46 minutes).

The match between the two teams held at Seoul Jamsil Stadium on the 4th began while it was raining. However, as the rain intensified, the game was suspended for 19 minutes from 6:45 p.m. to 7:04 p.m., after the end of the bottom of the 1st inning for Doosan.

After resuming, in the bottom of the 2nd inning, Yang Eui-ji hit a solo home run to left field off Hanwha's starting pitcher White with one out, giving Doosan the lead. This was his second consecutive home run in the same at-bat, following a solo home run in the bottom of the 11th inning of extra innings in the Hanwha game the previous day (3rd).

Continuing the offense, Doosan took a 2-0 lead when Oh Myung-jin hit a triple to left-center field with two outs and a runner on second base, following An Jae-seok's single to center field and Park Ji-hoon's ground ball to the pitcher.

However, as the rain intensified again, the umpires suspended the game once more after the end of the top of the 4th inning for Hanwha, from 7:52 p.m. onward. Although the rain subsided within 20 to 30 minutes, the game did not resume until 9:19 p.m. because club officials used sponges to remove the rainwater from the infield and stadium maintenance staff worked to regrade the dirt. The second suspension lasted 1 hour and 27 minutes.

Despite this, Hanwha's starting pitcher White remained on the mound and held Doosan scoreless in the bottom of the 4th inning, allowing only one hit. In the top of the 5th inning during Hanwha's offensive turn, Doosan replaced Jack Log with Choi Jun-ho. Jack Log had pitched 4 innings, throwing 60 pitches and allowing two hits while remaining scoreless.
