Bench clearing broke twice in a dune. The game was suspended for a long time.
It turned the stuffy atmosphere into a boon. Samsung Lions Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook's quick recovery stood out.
Samsung came from behind to win the game against the Lotte Giants in Daegu on the 29th.
In the top of the fifth inning, trailing 0-2, a large bench clearing burst. It was a more emotional clash, different from the previous situation. Even that, two bench clearings broke out in the first dune.
In the absence of a runner with two outs, Choi Won-tae's third pitch of 146km flew toward Lotte Jeon Jun-woo's elbow in the ball count 1B1S. Jeon Jun-woo, who was hit by the ball, couldn't hide his displeasure at the moment.
This is the second day of Choi Won-tae's Jeon Jun-woo dune. In the second game of the Busan doubleheader on the 17th, Choi Won-tae's fastball hit Jeon Jun-woo's left shoulder, and Jeon Jun-woo issued a warning to Choi Won-tae on behalf of Lotte's squad, which had been sharpened by repeated dunes throughout the series.

The game that day was also an upsetting experience for Choi Won-tae. He was excluded from the first team in the third inning because he was bruised by Jung Hoon's training ball, and Samsung, whose starting pitcher went down early, lost the game.
On the next day, a large-scale bench clearing involving Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung also broke out. Immediately after Samsung's Yang Chang-seop allowed a three-run home run to Lotte's Jeon Min-jae, he sprayed a threatening ball toward the head of the next batter, Yoon Dong-hee. Manager Kim Tae-hyung, who rushed out of his seat, turned toward the Samsung dugout, not Yang Chang-seop, and Park Jin-man apologized, saying, `It's not intentional,' while replacing the pitcher to settle the mood.

Choi Won-tae raised his arms instead of an apology with an unfair expression, saying, `It's not intentional.' Junwoo got emotional for a moment, but??Kang Min-ho stopped it in line. The situation seemed to calm down quite a bit due to Kang Min-ho's repeated persuasion.
Players who had emptied the bench and ran out went back to the dugout, but Choi Won-tae was in a state of reverse rage. He approached Jeon Joon-woo with a fierce gesture, and the atmosphere heated up again. Both teams' benches were again emptied.
The atmosphere of the game could be strange as the emotional battle between the two teams' athletes intensifies. What was fortunate for the spectators who visited the site on this day was that Kang Min-ho, who was the league's best senior and played for both Samsung and Lotte for a long time, was wearing a main mask even among the players. Kang Min-ho took care of both teams' squads, including Jeon Joon-woo, to prevent the atmosphere from getting any sharper.

In addition, Samsung captain Koo Ja-wook's quick response also shone. Koo Ja-wook stopped Jeon Joon-woo and Choi Won-tae in the middle of the conflict as the captain, while he later took the mound and talked with Choi Won-tae. He then sent Jeon Joon-woo, who was at first base, to apologize. It was not a greeting such as holding up a hat on the mound, but a real apology in which the pitcher walked directly to the first base and expressed his sorry.
For Samsung, it was a bench clearing that became a turning point to overturn the losing game. Coincidentally, it was Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook who turned the game around.
Samsung tied the game with Kim Sung-yoon and Koo Ja-wook's timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Kang Min-ho's two-run double hit to make the turnaround 4-2. Samsung also won 8-3 in the sixth inning with Kim Ji-chan, Kim Sung-yoon and Koo Ja-wook's consecutive timely hits. It was the power of Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook, who finished the bench clearing without going too far and strengthened the unity of the team.
