KIA Tigers decorated the three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears with a winning series, on the verge of reaching a 50% winning rate.
KIA won the final game of the weekend's three consecutive games against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th with Choi Hyung-woo's come-from-behind final hit in the seventh inning, as well as the concentration of the batters and the good pitching of the starting nail.
KIA, which lost its first game and won the previous day in bad weather, won the winning series of three consecutive games with two consecutive wins. It will be 11 wins and 12 losses, overcoming the sadness of falling to the bottom at one point and putting the winning rate of 50% on the verge of winning. On the other hand, Doosan is in the bottom ranks with 9 wins and 13 losses.
A game where both teams were desperate to win. A close game was expected, but it was a sweaty match.

First of all, a fierce pitching battle between the two foreign starters took place. KIA starter Nail was overwhelming with two wins and an ERA of 0.29 in five games before taking the mound. Doosan starter Jack Rogue was somewhat sluggish in his KBO League debut season, but it was worth expecting good pitching due to the nature of the KIA team, which has many left-handed hitters.
Both teams failed to score until the fifth inning as if they had promised. KIA got a chance with consecutive walks by Kim Sun-bin and Na Sung-bum after one out in the top of the first inning, but Wisdom and Choi Hyung-woo struck out consecutively by Jack Rogue.
Doosan also had a chance with Cave's hit, stolen base, and Yang Seok-hwan's walk after one out in the bottom of the first inning, but Kim In-tae struck out and had to hit the ground.

A fight that sent runners out to each other until the fourth inning but failed to earn any income. Doosan will remember the attack in the bottom of the fifth inning. Cho Soo-haeng and Jung Soo-bin had consecutive hits against Nail. This season's nail is not a score, but a player who threw an overwhelming pitch that does not allow consecutive hits. It was a golden opportunity that Doosan took.
Cave at the batter's box. What did you do to bunt a foreign batter. In addition, he had hits in both of the previous at-bats, so the sensitivity was very good. But that great feeling led to a nightmare. I hit the nail's ball perfectly. As soon as I got hit, I thought it would be a hit. However, the ball was immediately sucked into shortstop Park Chan-ho's glove. The second baseman's group performance is automatically out.

However, Doosan did not give up and shook its nails to score the first goal. In the sixth inning, Nail was shaken by Yang Eui-ji's hit and Yang Seok-hwan's double. A big crisis with no outs and runners on second and third. Nail showed superhuman concentration here, striking out Kim In-tae and Kang Seung-ho in a row. The main weapon sweeper danced. However, he failed to overcome the last hurdle. Park Joon-young's two-run single. In a full count situation, Nail threw an outside change-up well, which was a scene that Park Joon-young hit well. Except for the opening game against the NC Dinos, where Nail had a fixed number of pitches, she went down the mound without completing six innings for the first time this season.

However, KIA did not lose its potential as the defending champion. He immediately turned the game around in the top of the seventh inning. The penalty point was that pinch hitter Oh Sun-woo hit a heavy hit and got on base against Doosan's Choi Ji-gang. Then, after one out, Park Chan-ho's right-handed hit and Kim Sun-bin's double scored the first point. Kim Sun-bin, who returned from injury, hit well and hit hard, but if Doosan's third baseman Kang Seung-ho caught it, it would have been a double play, but it became a double.
KIA tied the game when third baseman Park Chan-ho survived at home when Na Sung-bum grounded out to the infield. Doosan was disappointed in this scene as well. While defending forward, rookie second baseman Park Joon-soon's home throw was not smooth.

Still, Doosan overcame the crisis with Park Chi-guk striking out Wisdom. However, pitcher Park Shin-ji, who changed to Choi Hyung-woo, threw a flat changeup and allowed Choi Hyung-woo to hit the final hit. Choi Hyung-woo, 42, surprised everyone by leading his team to victory with a big home run that hit Jamsil's central back screen through a huge headwind a day earlier, and he played a decisive role for two consecutive days.

Doosan lost its pursuit power in the bottom of the seventh inning when Yang Seok-hwan, a chance player with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, struck out. The final hit was eight times. The lead Kim In-tae got on base with a left-handed hit, and pinch runner Jeon Da-min was caught out by a checker and poured cold water on him. It was a safe decision at first, but the KIA bench asked for a video review, and this became a move of God.

KIA scored a wedge in the top of the ninth inning. Doosan put in a situation where it lost closer Kim Taek-yeon, who had not taken the mound since the 13th, with a message that he did not give up. However, after Kim Taek-yeon, who trusted him, gave up a hit to Park Chan-ho, he committed a fatal bad pitch in the defense of the sacrifice bunt, causing a crisis on the second and third bases with no outs.
Kim Taek-yeon guided Na Sung-bum to a shallow fly to right field. Cave made a perfect throw home and the score cannot come in. However, it was a blessing in disguise that second baseman Hong Jong-pyo moved too much to third base. As Doosan catcher Yang Eui-ji took the action to throw the second base, third baseman Park Chan-ho moved and Yang Eui-ji, who caught this, sprayed the ball to third base, but this became a bad pitch again. a de facto wedge. Wisdom, who had four strikeouts on the day, hit an RBI double to celebrate his victory against Kim Taek-yeon to see if he eased the burden. KIA, which gained momentum, ended the game with an additional point thanks to opponent Park Joon-young's error.

KIA kept its one-run victory by putting in all of Choi Ji-min, Jeon Sang-hyun, Jo Sang-woo and Jung Hae-young's must-win groups following nail throwing in five ⅔ innings. Jung Hae-young warmed up in a one-run situation, and even if it wasn't a save situation, he took the mound in the ninth inning and threw the ball.
Doosan starter Jack Rogue pitched five scoreless innings for the first time since his KBO League debut, but he had to cry because he was not supported by the batters. Doosan tried to come from behind in the top of the ninth inning by putting in Kim Taek-yeon, who had not been able to throw the ball since the 13th, but failed to produce a turnaround. In the ninth inning, Yang Eui-ji had a bases-loaded chance with one out, but he failed to score an additional point as he struck out in vain due to Jung Hae-young's 'Too Much".
