Doosan’s starter Kwak Bin overwhelmed KIA’s batting lineup with an overwhelming pitching of three hits, one walk and eight strikeouts in seven innings.
After one out in the first inning, Doosan’s batters took a chance with Jeon Min-jae and Kang Seung-ho hitting consecutive hits to first and second base, and two outs later, Yang Seok-hwan’s timely hit scored the first run. In the second inning, Cho So-soo got on base with a hit in the middle, and stole second base. Jung Soo-bin got on base with a walk, and Cho scored on Jeon Min-jae’s infield hit to second base, making it 2-0. It was second baseman Kim Sun-bin’s error-prone defense. Kim Jae-hwan hit a superior solo home run to make it 3-0, with two outs in the third inning.
Kim Taek-yeon, a must-win group, came up in the eighth inning. In May, he allowed only one run and had an ERA of 0.75 in 11 games (12 innings). However, Kim walked Park Chan-ho with one out and Na Sung-bum with two outs. Choi hit a timely RBI single with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. Doosan’s bench did not replace Kim but pushed him. Kim allowed a three-run homerun to Lee Woo-sung, turning the game around to 3-4.
Since then, Choi Ji-gang has come up as a relief pitcher, and he has been beaten 3-5 by Socrates with consecutive home runs. The bullpen trust man collapsed, and the atmosphere seemed to be completely over with a two-run difference ahead of the last attack in the ninth inning.
However, Doosan’s batting average of over .300 in May turned the tables in the ninth inning. Against KIA closer Jung Hae-young, leadoff hitter Jeon Min-jae got on base with a hit to the right, and Yang Eui-ji hit a two-run homer with one out to tie the game at 5-5.
KIA gave up Jung Hae-young and replaced the pitcher with Jang Hyun-sik. Yang Seok-hwan got on base with a hit to the left-center, and Kim Jae-hwan shot a come-from-behind two-run home run to turn the game around 7-5. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Hong Gun-hee, the closing pitcher, kept the victory.
Doosan allowed the team to come from behind by giving up five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, but scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning to turn the game around. Yang Eui-ji, who had recently been out of the starting lineup for four consecutive games due to a residual knee injury, started as a catcher on the day, and hit a decisive homer in the ninth inning in his return match. Kim Jae-hwan hit two homeruns on the day to complete the reversal. He became the team to hit home runs. Doosan is the No. 1 in home runs with 59 hits. Captain Yang Seok-hwan has four home runs in the last six games.
Doosan continued its miraculous five-game winning streak to become the first team to reach 30 wins (two draws and 21 losses). Doosan is relentless in May. Doosan posted 14 wins, two draws and four losses in 20 games. Since losing two consecutive games to Samsung on May 1 and 2, it has 14 wins, two draws and two losses with a whopping 875 percent win rate. It grabbed nine straight wins in early May, and is now on a five-game winning streak (including one draw).
Yang Eui-ji recovered from a minor injury, and Alcantara, the ace with 2 billion won, recovered from an elbow injury, and is set to return to his game for the first time in a month. He will take the mound as a starting pitcher in the match against KIA on Wednesday. Although the main third baseman Huh Kyung-min is out due to injury, his depth has increased due to Doosan’s strong point of baseball in the past. Although he allowed four runs in the match against KIA on Tuesday, his bullpen has strengthened as new faces such as Kim Taek-yeon, Choi Ji-gang and Lee Byung-hun have become the must-win group. The upward trend in May seems to continue for the time being.
