NC came from behind to win 11-5 in the first game of the doubleheader against the Doosan Bears in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 11th. No. 7 NC won six consecutive games and recorded 16 wins, 18 losses, and 1 draw for the season, setting the stage for entering the semifinals again. Doosan, ranked eighth, has lost 21 games (16 wins and 2 draws) this season.
NC made the starting lineup with Han Seok-hyun (right wing), Kim Joo-won (striker), Kwon Hee-dong (left wing), Davison (first baseman), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Seo Ho-cheol (second baseman), Chun Jae-hwan (middle fielder), Kim Hwi-jip (third baseman), and Park Se-hyuk (catcher). The starting pitcher was Logan.
Doosan faced off with Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Cave (right wing), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Oh Myung-jin (third baseman), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Kim In-tae (left wing), and Park Joon-young (striker). The starting pitcher was Colerbin.
Logan earned his second win (five losses) of the season by allowing 93 pitches, four hits, three outs and four runs (one earned run) in five innings. It is the second consecutive start following the match against KT Wiz (7 scoreless innings) on the 5th. From the sixth inning, Kim Jae-yeol (1 run in 1 inning) and Jeon Sa-min (3 innings) threw consecutively, ending the game without consuming the bullpen.
In the NC lineup, Kwon Hee-dong was active with two hits, two walks and three RBIs in two at-bats, including the final hit. Han Seok-hyun went 3 for 5 with two RBIs, and Ahn Jung-yeol, a pinch hitter, went 1 for 4 with one walk and three RBIs.
In the second ⅓ of the season, Doosan starter Colerbin collapsed with 65 hits, seven hits, one strikeout and eight runs, taking his third loss (five wins) of the season. He recorded the minimum number of personal innings, the most runs, and the most four pitches this season. Colerbin also raised eyebrows by hitting the shoulders of catcher Yang Eui-ji and pitching coach Park Jung-bae, perhaps because of the early substitution.
NC had a narrow range of players because second baseman Park Min-woo (left hamstring) and catcher Kim Hyung-joon (knee bruise) were injured.
NC manager Lee Ho-joon said, "(Playing a doubleheader) I'm worried that the players will get another injury. Park Min-woo said, "Defending and running base are difficult, and I think he will be as good as a bat. (Kim) Hyung-jun can't play both games of the doubleheader. I have a bruise on my knee, so I'm a little worried because I got an injury when Hyungjun was good. (Seo) Ho-cheol also has a little hamstring injury, but he has to leave the game because of the situation."
The situation that was concerned developed into an error parade in the bottom of the first inning. Logan caused a crisis with two walks with one out and runners on the first and second bases, but he induced Kim Jae-hwan to hit a ground ball to the second base well. A situation in which a double play leads to a clean blocking without losing a point. At this time, second baseman Seo Ho-chul made his first mistake. He made a bad pitch that escaped shortstop Kim Joo-won's glove. At this time, second baseman Cave turned around the third base and scored, losing the 0-1 first point. Logan was shaken by allowing Yang Seok-hwan to hit a timely double to left field in the continued crisis with one out and runners on first and third bases.
Logan played against Oh Myung-jin in the second and third bases with one out. Oh Myung-jin hit a ground ball to shortstop, and third baseman Kim Jae-hwan, who was trying to rush home, was caught in a rundown, which could increase the outcount. At this time, catcher Park Se-hyuk and shortstop Kim Joo-won made a throwing error while driving the runner. The ball fell behind the home plate, and in the meantime, Kim Jae-hwan and second baseman Yang Seok-hwan scored to spread to 0-4.

In Kim Joo-won's continued at-bat with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, pinch hitter Kim Han-byeol stepped up. As expected, the change of censure. Kim Han-byeol walked to the pitch and loaded the bases with two outs, and Kwon Hee-dong hit a timely three-run double to escape to the left-field line to turn the game around 6-4. Ahead of the defense in the bottom of the second inning, second baseman Seo Ho-chul was replaced by Choi Jung-won.
NC's momentum in the atmosphere was fierce. In the top of the third inning, Park Gun-woo's pitch and Chun Jae-hwan's walk made it to the first and second bases with one out, Doosan lowered the call bin and put up Park Shin-ji. Colervin's first early steel plate of the season. Park Shin-ji allowed Ahn Jung-yeol to hit a two-run timely double on the left-field line with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, failing to stop Colerbin's lead-off man, and NC ran 8-4.
In the top of the fourth inning, Kwon Hee-dong and Davison also collaborated on additional points. After one out, Kwon Hee-dong got on base with a double to the left, and Davison hit a timely hit to the left of the left field to widen the distance to 9-4. In the top of the sixth inning, Park Gun-woo hit a timely hit to the left with one out and third base to make it 10-4.
Doosan hit back in the bottom of the sixth inning. Oh Myung-jin's walk, Kang Seung-ho's hit, and Kim In-tae's walk gave him a chance to get the bases loaded with no outs. Doosan used Ryu Hyun-jun as Park Joon-young's pinch hitter here, but the result was a vain swing and strikeout. With the bases loaded with one out, Jung Soo-bin's sacrifice fly to center field made up one point and narrowed it to 10-5.
NC was not satisfied with the five-point margin. In the top of the seventh inning, Han Seok-hyun's hit and Kim Han-byeol's sacrifice bunt made it a one-out second base, and Park Si-won's timely hit sealed the 11-5 victory.
