The historical showdown between the "Kium seniors and juniors" ended with each other exchanging hits. However, the team won, and Kim Ha-sung (San Diego) of San Francisco won the game by decision over Lee Jung-hoo.

Kim Ha-sung and Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) reported hits in the first game. Kim Ha-sung scored one hit and one run from three times at bat and Lee Jung-hoo scored one hit and one RBI from three times at the opening game between San Francisco and San Diego at Petco Park in San Diego on the 29th. San Diego won 6-4.

Lee Jung-hoo and Kim Ha-sung, who were in the same team with Kiwoom when they were in the KBO League, had a historic match on the day. Notably, Lee Jung-hoo made his Major League debut as the 27th Korean player ever by taking his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. Batters include Choi Hee-sup (current KIA Tigers coach, 2002), Choo Shin-soo (SSG Landers, 2005), Kang Jung-ho (retired, 2015), Park Byung-ho (KT Wiz), Lee Dae-ho (retired), Choi Ji-man (New York Mets minor league), Kim Hyun-soo (LG Twins, 2016), Hwang Jae-gyun (KT, 2017), Kim Ha-sung (San Diego), Park Hyo-joon (Oakland Athletics minor league, 2021), and Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates, 2022).

Against San Diego starter Yu Darvish, Lee struck out in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, and in his second at-bat in the top of the third inning, he was out with a line drive to the first baseman. However, with his team leading 1-0 in the top of the fifth inning without runners, he hit a mid-range hit after a close game with two outs, and recorded his first hit in the Major League in his debut game. However, he was caught in check by Darvish while trying to steal second base.

Lee also reported his first major league RBI in the top of the seventh inning. Taking the batter's box with runners on the second and third bases with one out, Lee hit a sacrifice fly against Yuki Matsui, another Japanese pitcher from San Diego. However, the runner on the second base was caught running to third base, and that ended San Francisco's scoring spree.

Kim Ha-sung, who remained silent with 0 hits in seven at-bats in the Seoul Series of the official Major League Baseball opening game held in Seoul on the 20th and 21st of last month, stayed on the fly to right field in the second inning, and in his second at-bat in the top of the fifth inning when he was trailing 0-1, he advanced from center fielder Lee Jung-hoo to first base with no outs and hit his first hit of the season.

San Diego turned the game around 2-1 with Kim Ha-sung's chance to hit first and third base with no outs, Yurixon Profar's timely hit, and Tyler Wade's infield grounder. Kim Ha-sung, who stole second base on an intentional walk in the sixth inning, unfortunately struck out in the seventh inning.
