Even a double play that blew a chance on repeated empty hits, but won enough to win.
The Doosan Bears blocked NC's four consecutive wins against the NC Dinos in Jamsil on the 25th, winning 5-3.
On this day, Doosan scored only three points in three bases-loaded chances. There was also a double play. As Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop pointed out before the game, "Weakness in scoring area" was clearly revealed.
Still, the clean-up trio drew seven walks and created many chances, and Lim Jong-sung led the team to victory by showing off two hits, multiple hits, two runs, an RBI, and a stable defense.
It didn't start well. Doosan's starting jacklog was shaky He even made an error, giving up two points in the first inning and one point in the second inning and falling to 0-3.
In particular, Kim Jae-hwan and Kim Ki-yeon failed to score in the first inning with a strikeout and a foul fly with the bases loaded with one out made by Oh Myung-jin's hit and Yang Seok-hwan's walk. Still, in the second inning, Lim Jong-sung, who got on base with a hit, recovered one point by stepping home when Oh Myung-jin hit a fly ball to left field, and followed 1-3.

The most regrettable thing was the third episode. NC starter Choi Sung-young's control shook, Yang Seok-hwan and Kim Jae-hwan of Yang Eui-ji walked one after another and took a chance to load the bases with no outs. However, Kim Ki-yeon's double play added one more point and only followed 2-3.
While starter Zach Rogue overcame the early shaking and held out well with a quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs), another full base chance came in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Doosan loaded the bases with Yang Seok-hwan's hit and Kim Jae-hwan's walk, and tied the score with Kim Ki-yeon's walk. Lim Jong-sung's sacrifice fly then became the winning point of the day.

Coach Lee Seung-yeop recently used Kim Taek-yeon and Choi Ji-gang as double stoppers. In the eighth inning, Kim Taek-yeon came out, and in the bottom of the eighth inning, Cave's timely hit added one more point to lighten Kim Taek-yeon's shoulders. At this time, the main character who stepped on the groove was Im Jong-sung.
Doosan pushed Kim Taek-yeon hard as it was, completing its eighth save of the season.
After the game, head coach Lee Seung-yeop said "Starting Zachlog showed his crisis management ability even after losing points early in the game and did not completely let the flow go. This led to a reversal", expressing satisfaction.

Then "All the bullpens did their part as well. In particular, Kim Taek-yeon, who showed confidence by taking charge of five outcounts, was effective"In the batting line, Im Jong-sung played a very good role." He showed stability in both offense and defense. The veterans' concentration was also outstanding. The clean-up trio's seven walks led to scores.
