Doosan won the home game against SSG Landers 6-5 at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 22nd. After escaping from five consecutive losses, Doosan won 20 games (two draws and 27 losses) this season.
On this day, Doosan's batters were tied up by SSG Kim Kwang-hyun's good pitching and failed to score until the sixth inning. In the meantime, Hong Min-gyu started and allowed three runs in three innings, followed by Park Chi-guk (one run in two innings) and Lee Young-ha (one run in one inning).
With Ko Hyo-joon keeping the mound with one scoreless inning in the top of the seventh inning, Doosan followed one point with hits by Kim Jae-hwan and Kim Ki-yeon in the bottom of the seventh inning and a timely hit by Oh Myung-jin. However, Kim In-tae struck out and loaded the bases with one out with Im Jong-sung's hit, but he failed to score an additional point as the follow-up hit did not continue.
In the top of the eighth inning, Choi Ji-gang stopped one inning without losing a point again, and Doosan took a bases-loaded chance again with Yang Seok-hwan's double and Kim Jae-hwan and Kim Ki-yeon's consecutive walks after one out. Doosan, which added one point with Oh Myung-jin's infield hit, later loaded the bases with two outs as Park Gye-beom struck out.
Following the 7th inning, the chance will be eliminated in the 8th inning. Im Jong-sung pushed SSG Kim Min's pitch to the outside as it was, and the ball crossed the right fence. Im Jong-sung's first home run since his debut. In addition, it was a grand slam that turned the game around 6-4.
Im Jong-sung is the fourth player in Bears history to make his debut home run a grand slam. Song Won-guk (against Jamsil SK on June 23, 2001), Choi Joo-hwan (against Busan Lotte on June 14, 2012) and Oh Myung-jin (against Jamsil Lotte on April 27, 2025) achieved it earlier.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop, who became a troubleshooter in the eighth inning of an international competition when he was active, smiled at the resemblance of his high school '29 junior ' home run.
After the game, coach Lee said, `I want to applaud all the players who achieved a miraculous victory"Congratulations to Lim Jong-sung, who made his debut home run with a decisive grand slam. Oh Myung-jin, who changed the team's atmosphere by sprinting every time, is also a hidden player."
Director Lee continued "The bullpen also did their part. In particular, Park Chi-guk, Lee Young-ha, Ko Hyo-joon, and Choi Ji-gang did not give up the flow, which laid the foundation for the reversal."
Doosan, which succeeded in escaping five consecutive losses, will play three consecutive weekend games against the NC Dinos from the 23rd at its home, Jamsil. Doosan announced Colerbin as the starting pitcher on the 23rd and NC announced Logan Allen.
