Doosan Bears have escaped the tunnel for the fourth consecutive time. It is the first win under the system of former coach Lee Seung-yeop resigned on the 2nd and 'Acting Director Cho Sung-hwan'. Kim Min-seok, acquired in a trade from Lotte last year, hit a dramatic walk-off hit.

Doosan won 2-1 against the KIA Tigers in the 2025 KBO League at Jamsil on the 5th after a bloody battle in the 10th inning. In the bottom of the 10th inning, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Kim Min-seok exploded a hit to left-center against KIA closer Jung Hae-young. Doosan was enthusiastic when second baseman Cave slid into the home with a base run that exceeded the fighting spirit.

Kim Min-seok had a chance as Kim Jae-hwan struck out on the first and second bases with one out. Kim Min-seok confidently swung the first pitch and became a hero.




After the game, Kim Min-seok "From the end of the 10th inning, I was thinking that if I had a chance, I would get it. So I asked the batting coaches about Jung Hae-young's pitching pattern and prepared it in advance" he said.

Kim Min-seok wanted to solve it himself.

Kim Min-seok "It was his first walk-off since his debut. I wanted to feel what it felt like to finish. I thought I was going to hit the first ball"Joyed.




In the meantime, the team's atmosphere was bound to be chaotic. Kim Min-seok "The seniors kept the center well. (Yang) Ji-won said let's play while shouting fighting in each player's seats. I can't hear my voice well because I'm in the outfield, but I played by shouting "Nice ball" for every strike"I looked back.

Acting President Cho Sung-hwan also swept his chest. Acting president Cho Sung-hwan really hoped for one win before the game, but the losing streak did not get long.

Acting President Cho Sung-hwan showed that all the players, from the oldest Yang Eui-ji to the youngest Park Joon-soon, became one. There are many shortcomings as an acting coach, but thanks to the players, he made a valuable first win. Thank you to the fans who stayed until the end of overtime. I was able to win because of that passionate voice," he said.




Kim Taek-yeon, who completely blocked the 9th and 10th innings, also threw without regret. "There were times when I was shaken this season, but I rebounded because of the fans' trust and support," Kim Taek-yeon said. Thank you so much to the acting manager Cho Sung-hwan, who trusted and entrusted him as a closer again. Congratulations on your first win"I was delighted.
