The Doosan Bears swept all three games, including a 30-point score record in the three consecutive weekly games against the No. 1 KIA Tigers in Gwangju, and came to Jamsil in a good mood to meet the last-place Kiwoom Heroes.

Despite this, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop has never been easy to watch. “Growing up is also gaining momentum these days. As Brandon and Lee Young-ha are both missing, I think every game is a critical moment for us,” Lee said. “Foreign players are good at raising up, and young batters are good at it. Song Seong-moon, Lee Ju-hyeong, and veteran Choi Joo-hwan and Lee Yong-kyu are also good. They are well-organized.”
Lee had a good hunch. Kiwoom took the lead in an away game against Doosan held at Jamsil Stadium on Sunday, and Doosan tied the game and drove it to the brink, but blocked it to ultimately win in overtime.
Kiwoom, led by Lee Ju-hyung’s two-run shot in the top of the third inning, added one more run in the top of the sixth inning with Lee Yong-kyu’s double and Kim Tae-jin’s hit, and scored one more run with pinch hitter Ko Young-woo’s hit on Kim Jae-hyun’s sacrifice bunt to give a 4-0 lead.
However, Doosan beat Kia, the top-ranked team, 0-4, to fight back even though it thought the game was tilted. Jared’s hit and Yang Seok-hwan’s two-run shot went up against Kiwoom starter Ariel Furado, who had been pitching scoreless in the bottom of the sixth inning, and Jeon Min-jae’s timely hit and Cho’s triple with two outs and runners on the second base made the score 4-4.
Since then, the one-point fight has not yielded the one point that has been eagerly anticipated.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Doosan took a decisive opportunity to end the game with one out and third base with Cho Soo-haeng’s hit, wild pitch, and Jung Soo-bin’s fly to center field. Yang Eui-ji came out as a pinch hitter, but he automatically hit the first and third bases with four pitches. Jared wanted to give his home fans a chance to finish, but he stepped down with a fly to the third base, and Yang Seok-hwan was also caught with a fly high in center field and passed through overtime.
With the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the 10th inning, Kiwoom scored two runs on Kim Hye-sung’s powerful timely hit to lead the game 6-4. Joo Seung-woo, who fills the vacancy of Jo Sang-woo, came up to end the game without losing a point in the bottom of the 10th inning. Kiwoom won 6-4.
Kiwoom chased the ninth-ranked Lotte Giants by half a game due to the cancellation of the heat wave with the victory.
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said after the game, “All the players did not give up until the end and showed their concentration,” adding, “The bullpen’s performance shone through. They kept their innings scoreless. In particular, Kim Sun-ki’s good pitching in a crisis situation in the ninth inning served as a stepping stone for the team to come from behind.” “Kim Hye-sung’s decisive hit in the 10th inning helped us win today,” said manager Hong. “I would like to thank the fans for their enthusiastic support despite the hot weather.”
