Doosan won 2-1 against the KIA Tigers in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Jamsil on the 5th after a bloody battle in the 10th inning.
Doosan scored the first run in the bottom of the first inning.
Leadoff Jung Soo-bin got on base with a hit ball. Cave hit a right-handed hit. Jung Soo-bin went all the way to third base.
Cave aimed for second base taking advantage of KIA right fielder Choi Won-joon's fumbling of the ball. Cave was caught at second base. For KIA, it was a blessing in disguise.
With one out and third base, Yang Eui-ji hit a grounder to shortstop.
Doosan missed a valuable extra point chance in the bottom of the fourth inning. Doosan was disappointed with the dubious decision of a check swing.
With one out and runners on the second and third bases, Doosan's acting manager Cho Sung-hwan threw a winning move. Kim Min-hyuk put Kim In-tae as a pinch hitter. Kim In-tae has a batting average of 0.435.
Kim In-tae made a check swing on the 5th pitch in 2 strikes and 2 balls.
The referee asked the third baseman whether he swung or not. The third base referee declared a swing. Kim In-tae couldn't leave the batter's box with a puzzled look on his face.
Acting coach Cho Sung-hwan also complained to the referee for the first time since taking the helm on the 3rd. Looking at the slow video on the broadcast screen, Kim In-tae's bat was ambiguous to regard as a swing. From Doosan's point of view, it was sufficiently unfair. Lucky for KIA.
Doosan failed to score when its follow-up hitter Park Joon-soon hit a ground ball to shortstop.
KIA immediately balanced it in the top of the fifth inning.
Leading hitter Han Jun-su exploded a large triple that hit the right fence directly. Kim Ho-ryeong's flying distance to right field was short, so Han Jun-su could not try to retouch. With one out and third base, Park Chan-ho drew an infield hit on the left side of the pitcher and called in Han Jun-su.
Doosan missed a chance to finish in the bottom of the ninth inning. With two outs and runners on first and second bases, Kim Dong-joon hit the right field. Second baseman Park Joon-soon turned around the third base and aimed for home. KIA right fielder Choi Won-joon shot Park Joon-soon with a perfect home pitch.
Doosan eventually produced a walk-off hit again in the bottom of the 10th inning. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Kim Min-seok hit a timely hit against KIA closer Jung Hae-young to end the game.
