NC beat Doosan 5-2 in the second game of the "2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 11th. NC won the first game of the doubleheader 11-5 and the second game, winning seven consecutive games.

Doosan, which has lost two consecutive games, fell to ninth place with only 16 wins, 22 losses and two draws in the season.
NC has been on a roll despite bad news that second baseman Park Min-woo and catcher Kim Hyung-joon are unable to start due to injuries, and even foreign batter Davison was injured during the first game. Park Gun-woo, the main hitter, even had the luxury of giving the second game a complete break.

The starting pitcher was Choi Sung-young.
Doosan faced off with Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Cave (right wing), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Kim Jae-hwan (left wing), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Oh Myung-jin (third baseman), Kim Ki-yeon (captor), and Park Joon-young (striker). The starting pitcher was Choi Jun-ho.
Starting pitcher Choi Sung-young earned his second win (one loss) of the season by pitching well in five innings with 93 pitches, five hits, two outs, three strikeouts and two runs. Choi Sung-young, who has rejoined the starting rotation since May, showed stability for two consecutive games following five innings of two runs against the Lotte Giants on the 2nd.

NC scored the first run in the top of the second inning. Leading hitter Chun Jae-hwan launched a home run. At the ball count 1-1, Doosan starter Choi Joon-ho's slider was pushed to the middle of the strike zone without missing it. It was Chun's third homer of the season and his second consecutive homer of the season.
The lead didn't last long. In the bottom of the second inning, Choi Sung-young gave up consecutive hits to Kim Jae-hwan and Yang Seok-hwan, shaking. After one out, Oh Myung-jin was walked to load the bases, and Kim Ki-yeon was hit with a timely two-run right fielder's timely hit to overturn it 1-2.
NC showed the power of turning the tables for two consecutive games. In the top of the third inning, he scored four points and turned it over 5-2. Leading hitter Kim Joo-won opened the scoring with a double to the right-center, and Son Ah-seop hit a timely hit to the right of left field to balance 2-2. In the following one out and third base, Chun Jae-hwan walked out with a walk, and Doosan changed its mound from Choi Joon-ho to rookie Hong Min-gyu.
Park Se-hyuk, who was replaced by a reprimand in the aftermath of an error in the first game, stepped up as a troubleshooter in the second game. Kim Hui-jip drew a walk and pressed Hong Min-gyu in the continued chances of two outs and second and third bases. Park Se-hyuk hit a timely two-run hit to right to widen the distance to 4-2. Choi Jung-won's timely hit to the left of the left field also made it 5-2.
