In the first game of the professional baseball playoffs, NC defeated KT and succeeded in taking the lead.
NC started with the wild card game and continued with a five-game winning streak in the postseason.
With 4 wins and undefeated in fall baseball, NC’s bat was hot even against KT’s ‘undefeated pitcher’ Cuevas.
Following consecutive hits by Son Ah-seop and Park Min-woo in the top of the first inning, they easily scored the first run with Martin's sacrifice fly, and in the second inning, Oh Young-soo hit a solo home run to ease the game.
In the 3rd inning, we did not miss the opportunity given by the opponent's error.

KT starter Cuevas was also shaken.
After making an error throwing to second base in the 4th inning, he gave up a timely hit to Son Ah-seop and was punished early.
Driven by momentum and Kwon Hee-dong's triple, NC widened the score gap to 8-1 and took the win.
NC starting pitcher Peddie, who made his first postseason debut, also pitched perfectly, winning three awards as a pitcher.
Leveraging his main weapon, the sweeper, he overwhelmed the KT batting line, allowing only one run and striking out 12 until the 6th inning, breaking the record for the most strikeouts in a single playoff game.
In the bottom of the 9th inning, KT Bae Jeong-dae hit a grand slam, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
NC, which beat even second-place KT in the regular season, won five consecutive games in the fall baseball season.
In the historical best-of-five playoffs, the team that wins Game 1 has a 78.1% chance of advancing to the Korean Series.
