Samsung came from behind to win 8-4 in Game 6 of the season between KIA and the team in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 24th. Samsung lost the first game of the series 6-7 on the 23rd, but with the victory, it balanced 1 win and 1 loss.
Samsung, ranked 8th, recorded 25 wins, 26 losses and 1 draw in the season, while KIA, which was tied for 4th, ended its second consecutive win and fell to 7th place with only 24 wins and 25 losses in the season.
Samsung made the starting lineup with Kim Ji-chan (designated hitter), Kim Sung-yoon (middle fielder), Koo Ja-wook (left fielder), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Kang Min-ho (fosu), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Park Seung-gyu (right fielder), and Yang Yang-geun (striker). The starting pitcher was Lee Seung-hyun.
For KIA, Park Chan-ho (striker), Yoon Do-hyun (second baseman), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Lee Woo-sung (right fielder), Byun Woo-hyuk (first baseman), Oh Sun-woo (left fielder), Han Jun-su (catcher), and Kim Ho-ryeong (midfielder) started. The starting pitcher is Kim Do-hyun.
Samsung quickly activated the bullpen when starting pitcher Lee Seung-hyun went down four innings with 73 pitches and seven hits (one homer) with two strikeouts and three runs. Lee Seung-min (2 innings) and Kim Tae-hoon (1 run in 1 ⅔) led the inning, and Lee Ho-sung became the winning pitcher by allowing no runs in the remaining 1 ⅓.
KIA scored the first point. In the top of the fourth inning, leadoff hitter Kim Do-young got on base with a heavy hit. He stole second base in the next at-bat of Choi Hyung-woo and succeeded in stealing his first base of the season. Lee Seung-hyun was shaken when Kim Do-young ran, and Choi Hyung-woo hit a superior two-run shot to lead 0-2.
KIA continued its momentum. After two outs, Oh Sun-woo and Han Jun-su hit consecutive hits, leading to chances on the first and third bases. Kim Ho-ryeong then hit a timely hit to the right to spread the distance to 0-3.
KIA's lead didn't last long. He made two defensive errors in the bottom of the fourth inning and allowed a tie straight away in a chaotic atmosphere. Kim Do-hyun received a heavy hit by Diaz with one out and one base, and center fielder Kim Ho-ryeong threw a hard ball to catch Koo Ja-wook, the first baseman heading to third base, but it became a bad pitch. As a result, Diaz bought time to get to second base, leading to a crisis on second and third bases. Kim Do-hyun walked Kim Young-woong and was on the verge of loading the bases. The next batter, Kang Min-ho, struck out well with a swing and miss, but Ryu Ji-hyuk hit a timely double with a three-run sweep in left-center to make it 3-3. At this time, Ryu Ji-hyuk went to third base when second baseman Yoon Do-hyun, who was playing a relay, made a catch error. Kim Do-hyun grounded out Park Seung-gyu to third base to end the inning with difficulty.
While the tight balance is rarely broken, it rained heavily ahead of KIA's attack in the top of the seventh inning. The judges declared a suspension of rain at 7:30 p.m. Despite the drizzle throughout the game, the team continued the game, and at this time, the rain became thick enough to block the view. After about 20 minutes, the rain stopped and the ground maintenance resumed, and the game resumed at 7:57 p.m., 27 minutes after the suspension.

The effect of Kim Do-young's home run over the field disappeared in an instant. Samsung also brought the game to square one thanks to KIA's error. Leadoff hitter Lee Jae-hyun got on base with a left infield hit to shortstop and was replaced by pinch runner Lee Sung-kyu. KIA bullpen Jeon Sang-hyun handled the next two batters well with a strikeout and an outfield fly ball, but faced Kim Sung-yoon with two outs and one base I've done something. First of all, Lee Sung-kyu stepped on second base with a wild pitch, and Jeon Sang-hyun caught Kim Sung-yoon's ball heading toward first base and quickly tossed it to the first baseman, but it was a throwing error. It was where first baseman Byun Woo-hyuk wore a glove, and Kim Sung-yoon fell and the ball fell behind the first baseman as it overlapped with Kim Sung-yoon's main line. In the meantime, Lee Sung-kyu went around the third base and rushed home to make it 4-4.
Samsung targeted KIA left-hander Choi Ji-min in the bottom of the eighth inning. Choi Ji-min was a left-hander until last year, but this year, he is a pitcher who is suffering from poor control. Leading hitter Diaz was replaced by pinch runner Shim Jae-hoon after getting on base with a walk, and after one out, Shim Jae-hoon stepped on second base thanks to Choi Ji-min's wild pitch. Kang Min-ho got a walk and connected to the first and second bases, and Ryu Ji-hyuk hit a heavy hit to load the bases. Lee Sung-kyu then got a pushaway walk and turned the game around 5-4.
KIA belatedly replaced the mound with rookie Sung Young-tak. The right-hander, who pitched in one game and two innings in the first team, is all that matters. Samsung ran away 6-4 with Yang Yang-geun scoring a run with a straight walk in the continued one-out bases-loaded opportunity. With the bases loaded with two outs, Kim Sung-yoon hit a timely two-run double to left to seal the 8-4 victory.
