On the 19th, Doosan won the game again with a 6-5 comeback against Hanwha in Daejeon, and won five consecutive games. The bench's winning moves, including two crucial pinch-hitters and stolen bases and three-ball batting signs, worked.
Trailing 2-4, Kang Seung-ho took out his pinch hitter Kang at first base with one out in the top of the seventh inning. Kang Seung-ho hit a double to right field. Jung Soo-bin's timely triple followed and tied the game 4-4. Since then, Oh Myung-jin has put up Kim In-tae as a pinch hitter. Kim In-tae called in Jung Soo-bin with a ground ball for the class.
In the top of the ninth inning, when the score was 5-5, meticulous bench movement stood out.
When leadoff hitter Lee Yoo-chan got on base, he boldly signed a stolen base at first base with no outs. Lee Yoo-chan stole second base. A bunt to send Kang Seung-ho to the plate. Kang Seung-ho bunted well.
Jung Soo-bin's at-bat returned with one out and third base. Hanwha closer Kim Seo-hyun's control was shaken. Jung Soo-bin dominated the advantageous count of three balls.
Acting coach Cho Sung-hwan gave a batting sign here. It was a play in which third baseman Lee Yoo-chan stopped an automatic start as soon as Jung Soo-bin got it right. This also hit the mark. Jung Soo-bin hit a ground ball to second base, but Lee Yoo-chan's start was so fast thanks to the operation that he lived at home. This was the winning point.
Acting coach Cho Sung-hwan laughed, saying, `It's the players who made it successful.'
Even so, "Baseball is a probability game anyway. I want to do something with a little better probability and accept the result. I calculated to send Kang Seung-ho out first and use Kim In-tae as the top scorer.

Acting pitcher Cho Sung-hwan said, `It is not easy to target the closing pitcher. If I have to send one base anyway, I thought I'd get one more base and send it from there. Lee Yoo-chan was informed in advance that a steal sign could be made due to the fast count. Lee Yoochan made a great start and succeeded", he explained.
In the end, he gained one base and came all the way to the groove.
Acting president Cho Sung-hwan said, `We scored the winning point when those bases came together. If we play baseball like this, we will become a little stronger and the opponent will think a little bit more of us. It was very valuable because it was a point that the players actively gained by moving."
Acting President Cho Sung-hwan suddenly took the helm of Doosan from June 3. In the beginning, he mainly used young players and suffered trial and error, and had a hard time adjusting the atmosphere. After playing 56 games under Cho Sung-hwan, he reached 27 wins, 27 losses, 2 draws, and a 50% winning rate. Doosan has yet to break out of ninth place, but it has shown hope under Cho Sung-hwan.
