The kt wiz defeated the NC Dinos 3-2, becoming the first team in KBO history to achieve 80 wins and increasing their chances of advancing directly to the Korean Series. kt's victory was attributed to Sam Hillliard's season 39th home run and the outstanding performance of starting pitcher Daniel Davis. Hillliard maintained his second-place position in the home run category, trailing Kim Do-young (KIA) by one homerun, and tied with Austin Dean (LG) for first place in RBIs. kt secured the win by adding two runs in the 4th inning with a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Kim Sang-su.
