The game was actually decided in the first inning. Yang Hyun-jong, the starting pitcher for the Nanum All-Stars, got Koo Ja-rook and Pirella (Samsung) to ground out to the catcher and Yang Ji (Doosan) to fly out to second base.

On the other hand, Park Se-woong, who started for the Dream All-Stars in front of the home fans in Sajik, wore a raincoat and carried an umbrella, living up to his nickname of “Rain Man”. Park’s nickname is “Rain Man” because he has 19 rain cancellations, one rain cold, one rain no-game, one rain suspended, and three rain delays.

On the day of Park’s start, it rained on and off at Sajik Stadium in Busan. Park got the first batter, Kim Hye-sung (Kiwoom), to ground out to first base, but gave up a single to Lee Jung-hoo (Kiwoom) and then a timely double to Chae Eun-sung in right-centre field. A shaken Park then walked Choi Hyung-woo (KIA) with a pitch to the body.

With runners on first and second, Socrates, wearing a bowler hat and sunglasses and blowing a trumpet to his own cheer, hit Park Se-woong’s
‘s two-pitch fastball (133 kilometres per hour). It was a big hit that was instantly recognisable as a home run, and Socrates raised his hands in celebration. The ball cleared the right field fence and travelled 125 metres.

After Socrates’ home run made it 4-0, the Nanum All-Stars produced another big inning in the fourth. This time, the victim was Lotte pitcher Koo Seung-min. After back-to-back singles by Park Gun-woo (NC) and Park Dong-won (LG) and a walk by Lee Jung-hoo two batters later, Chae Eun-sung came to the plate. In her second at-bat of the inning, Chae Eun-sung retired on a fielder’s choice, but when a 141km/h fastball from Koo Seung-min was driven up the middle, she walked. The ball sailed over the left field fence for a grand slam.
This is only the second time in history that a grand slam has been hit in a KBO All-Star Game. The first ever All-Star Game grand slam was hit by Kim Yong-hee (then of Lotte) at Dongdaemun Stadium in 1982, the first year of professional baseball. With this home run, Kim was crowned the first Mr All-Star.

Chae Eun-sung was the brightest star of the 2023 KBO All-Star Game, thanks to a timely double in the first inning that proved to be the game-winner and only the second All-Star Game walk-off home run in history. Chae’s five RBIs on the day tied the record for most RBIs in an All-Star Game, along with Han Yoo-seom’s (then SK) five RBIs at the 2019 All-Star Game in Changwon.

The Dream All-Stars scored their first run of the day on a grounder to third by Han Dong-hee (LOTTE) with the bases loaded after a double by Ahn Chi-hong (LOTTE) and a single by Noh Jin-hyuk (LOTTE). In the ninth inning, back-to-back singles by Jeon Jun-woo (LOTTE) and Kim Sang-soo (KT) and a grounder to second by Noh Jin-hyuk put runners on second and third with Han Dong-hee scoring on a grounder to second. In response, the Nanum All-Stars removed Choi Ji-min (KIA) and brought in leader LG’s closer Go Woo-seok.

After getting Kim Min-seok (Lotte) to fly out to right field on a high four-pitch at-bat, Ko faced Samsung’s foreign pitcher Buchanan, who had been on the mound since the eighth inning. Buchanan showed off his batting prowess by pulling a 150km+ fastball from Ko Woo-seok for a single to right field, bringing home Kim Sang-soo from third base. Jung Soo-bin (Doosan) followed with an RBI double to cut the deficit to 8-4, but the Dream All-Stars were unable to tie the game as Yoo Kang-nam (Lotte) was retired on an infield fly.
