KIA won the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears 3-2 at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 31st. Choi Hyung-woo, who was silent the previous day with no hits in 6 at-bats, played 2 hits in 4 at-bats, 1 RBI and 2 runs. Na Sung-bum also had one hit, but he gave one when it mattered. He went 1 for 4 with an RBI.
Closer Jung Hae-young also kept the victory with one scoreless save. Jung Hae-young threw 32 pitches on the 30th, but showed off her fighting spirit.
KIA has recently been mired in consecutive losses due to the collapse of its bullpen. On the 28th, he made a three-on-three major trade with NC to find a way out. Choi Won-joon sent Woo-sung Hong Jong-pyo and recruited Kim Si-hoon, Han Jae-seung, and Park Jae-hyun.
However, he failed to escape consecutive losses on the 29th. On the 30th, the game also allowed a tie in the eighth inning, and ended up in a draw after being dragged to extra time.
Doosan took the first run in the top of the second inning. Yang Eui-ji hit a left-handed hit. Kim Jae-hwan hit a fly ball to shortstop and Park Jun-soon struck out. Kim Min-seok revived the atmosphere with a hit to the right. With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, Park Gye-beom hit a timely hit in the left-center.
KIA kept its balance in the bottom of the fourth inning. Choi Hyung-woo exploded a tiebreaking solo home run (16th of the season). Choi Hyung-woo came out as the leadoff hitter and turned the first pitch to make a thunderous home run. Choi Hyung-woo kicked a fastball toward his body and crossed the right fence. It flew 125 meters.
Doosan also responded with a home run. Yang Eui-ji hit a one-run home run (15th of the season) in the top of the sixth inning when the score was 1-1. Reliever Han Jae-seung's fastball, acquired in a trade from NC, was concentrated in the center. Yang Eui-ji did not miss it.
KIA immediately fought back in the bottom of the sixth inning. After one out, Kim Sun-bin opened the scoring with a hit to the right. Choi Hyung-woo also had a hit to right-center to attract runners. Na Sung-beom solved it at first and third bases with no outs. He called in Kim Sun-bin by hitting a timely hit to the right. Oh Sun-woo struck out and Byun Woo-hyuk scored a heavy hit. Choi Hyung-woo came into the groove.
Doosan changed pitchers here. Park Jung-soo came up with the call-ar-bin down. Park Jung-soo struck out Kim Ho-ryeong and put out the fire.
KIA kissed the victory with its bullpen, which had been in operation since the fifth inning. Han Jae-seung allowed one run in one ⅔ and Sung Young-tak, Jeon Sang-hyun and Jung Hae-young each scored one scoreless inning.
