SSG won 5-3 against the Doosan Bears in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th. SSG could laugh as KIA, which was tied for fourth until the previous day, lost to KT. Doosan fell into a quagmire for the fourth straight time.
SSG gained a great boost when substitute starting agent Jeon Young-joon pulled four ⅓ innings to three runs. From the fifth inning, Kim Min and Cho Byung-hyun pitched well without allowing a run in the relay for No-kyung, who is beneficial after Park Si-hoo.
Doosan starter Jack Rogue pitched seven innings with four runs (two earned) but failed to prevent his team's defeat.
SSG scored the first run in the top of the second inning. I benefited from Doosan's error.
Leading hitter Ko Myung-joon got on base due to a third baseman error. McBroom was hit by a pitch. Ahn Sang-hyun struck out. Cho Hyung-woo hit a ground ball to shortstop with one out and runners on first and second bases. As he avoided double play, he became a first and third base with two outs. Choi Jun-woo drew a walk. With the bases loaded with two outs, Chae Hyun-woo hit a timely two-run left-handed hit. Both points were recorded as non-visual stores.
SSG widened the gap in the top of the third.
Jung Joon-jae opened with a surprise bunt hit in front of third base. Choi Jung walked out. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, Ko Myung-joon exploded a sweeping triple to the right-center. SSG went on a 4-0 run. However, in the third base with no outs, McBroom Ahn Sang-hyun and Cho Hyung-woo only hit a mistake. He failed to score an extra point.
Doosan started chasing in the bottom of the fourth inning.
After one out, Yang Seok-hwan's walk and Oh Myung-jin's hit gathered runners. Kang Seung-ho hit an RBI grounder to first base. Because of the slow batting, SSG did not try to play at home.

SSG started the bullpen right here.
Doosan targeted SSG's second pitcher, Park Si-hoo. Kim Jae-hwan even stole a base on a hit. Yang Suk-hwan struck out. Oh Myung-jin made a hit to second base to gather runners. With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, SSG immediately added a must-win group advantage. Doosan failed to reach the tie because Kang Seung-ho struck out.
SSG, which was blocked by Rogue's good pitching, scored a valuable extra point in the top of the eighth inning. Ko Myung-joon, Han Yu-seom, Park Sung-han's consecutive hits made the bases loaded with no outs. Cho Hyung-woo stepped down with a fly ball in the near outfield. With the bases loaded with one out, Choi Jun-woo hit a sacrifice fly to center field to bring in Ko Myung-joon.
He kept the victory by raising the closing pitcher Cho Byung-hyun in the top of the ninth inning with an SSG 5-3 lead. Doosan swallowed the disappointment in the bottom of the ninth inning when Kim Jae-hwan struck out with two outs and a bases-loaded opportunity.
