KT won 5-3 with Kim Min-hyuk's come-from-behind double in the top of the 10th inning when the game was tied 3-3 in an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 17th.

The beginning was KT's trend. KT, which scored the first run with a double that hit Kang Baek-ho's right fence following Kim Min-hyuk's double to the left after two outs in the top of the first inning, added one point in the top of the second inning due to Kim Sang-soo's double, sacrifice bunt and opponent's error.

However, Kiwoom was able to prepare for a counterattack as Chung Hyun-woo found stability from the third inning. And after one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, Kim Tae-jin's walk on Cardinez's double created the first opportunity to score first and second bases. Lee Joo-hyung's ground ball in front of the second base continued with two outs and runners on first and third, and Patrick's wild pitch came out during Kim Gun-hee's at-bat to chase one run.

And in the bottom of the fifth inning, Lim Ji-yeol, a one-out second baseman who made the leadoff Park Joo-hong steal second base on a hit, fired a two-run shot from behind to the left. In the ball count 1B1S, a 138km slider in the third pitch was concentrated in the middle, and Lim Ji-yeol did not miss it and hit it properly to make it a home run. The distance is 120m.

Chung Hyun-woo, who also took the mound in the top of the sixth inning, allowed a hit to the leadoff Huh Kyung-min, then caught Kim Min-hyuk with a third baseman fly and Kang Baek-ho with a right fielder fly, leaving only one out count on his second quality start. Hwang Jae-kyun's walk is a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second bases. However, he caught Kim Sang-soo with a ground ball in front of the third baseman to end the sixth inning. Spraying 94 pitches in six innings, he completed a quality start with four hits, two walks, two strikeouts, and two runs. On June 27, he set his second record following his first quality start of his debut by allowing four runs (non-earned) in six innings against Samsung. Chung Hyun-woo, who has lost six consecutive games since his second win of the Hanwha match on April 12, has met the requirements for a winning pitcher.

Kiwoom had an additional opportunity to score in the bottom of the sixth inning. After two outs, pinch hitter Jeon Tae-hyun walked Kim Gun-hee's superior double. KT also replaced the pitcher with Lee Sang-dong when starting pitcher Patrick reached 108 pitches. However, Park Joo-hong drew another walk and loaded the bases with two outs. Unfortunately, Song Sung-moon's ball flew wide to the middle of the right, but it rose high. The inning is over after being caught by the center fielder.

In the top of the seventh inning, Kim Yoon-ha took the mound. He stood as a relief pitcher again in 424 days after taking the mound against Hanwha in Cheongju on June 19 last year. In the meantime, he has won only one game and lost 18 games in 30 starts. It has lost 17 consecutive games since winning the game against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on July 25 last year.

KT, which created a chance for one out and second base with Cho Dae-hyun's sacrifice bunt after the leadoff Jang Jin-hyuk walked and got on base, put up a pinch-hitter Junghoon Lee during Kwon Dong-jin's at-bat, but it was only a foul fly to the third baseman. However, Stevenson hit a double to left-center to tie the game 3-3. It was the moment when Jung Hyun-woo's victory flew away. Right away, he changed to Jeon Junpyo. Heo Kyung-min failed to turn the tables as he only played a fly to right field.

3회 2사 만루. Kim Min-hyuk hit a timely two-run ball
KT's Kim Min-hyuk and Hwang Jae-kyun got a walk in the top of the eighth inning to get a chance to turn around with one out and runners on first and second bases, but Kim Sang-soo and Jang Jin-hyuk stepped down with consecutive strikeouts.

Kiwoom, who stepped down at the end of the seventh inning with three outs, failed to make a significant attack on the changed pitcher Son Dong-hyun at the end of the eighth inning.

While KT was blocked by Kiwoom Yoon Seok-won in the top of the ninth inning, Kiwoom also struck out KT closer Park Young-hyun in the bottom of the ninth inning to reach two outs, but Song Sung-moon hit a hit in the left-center in the full count match to save the possibility of ending it. However, Lim Ji-yeol stepped down with a ground ball in front of the first base and eventually went into extra time with a 3-3 tie.

In the top of the 10th inning, lead Huh Kyung-min got on base with a left-handed hit, followed by Kim Min-hyuk's come-from-behind double that penetrated the right-center to succeed in a 4-3 comeback. Kang Baek-ho's right-handed hit broke out 5-3.

At the bottom of the 10th inning, So Hyung-joon came up and blocked Kiwoom's batters with three outs, ending the game. Park Young-hyun won his third game of the season, and So Hyung-joon made his debut save.
