Doosan Bears have won three consecutive games by ringing the KIA Tigers for two consecutive days.

Doosan won 4-3 in Game 14 of the season between KIA and the team in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 16th. Doosan, ranked ninth, recorded 48 wins, 5 draws, and 59 losses in the season as it held KIA back for two consecutive days following a 6-5 walk-off victory in the 11th inning the previous day. KIA, ranked fifth, had 53 wins, 4 draws, and 52 losses in the season as it knelt down to Doosan, ranked ninth.

Doosan's Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Oh Myung-jin (second baseman), Park Joon-soon (third baseman), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Jake Cave (right fielder), Ahn Jae-seok (designated hitter), Kang Seung-ho (first baseman), Kim Min-seok (left fielder) and Park Gye-beom (striker) started. The starting pitcher is Choi Seung-yong.

KIA faced off with Park Chan-ho (striker), Kim Ho-ryeong (center fielder), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Patrick Wisdom (first baseman), Na Sung-beom (right fielder), Oh Sun-woo (left fielder), Kim Tae-gun (captor), and Park Min (third baseman). The starting pitcher is Lee Eui-ri.

Doosan did not give any flow to KIA despite the bad news that starting pitcher Choi Seung-yong and catcher Yang Eui-ji were replaced at the same time in two innings. Choi Seung-yong's left index finger nail was broken, and Yang Eui-ji was replaced as protection due to pain in the left inguinal region. Choi Seung-yong was pitching 24 pitches, one hit, no four outs, and two strikeouts in two innings, which was all the more regrettable.

Rookie Yoon Tae-ho, who took the mound as the second pitcher, worked. A fourth-year pitcher who joined Doosan in the 49th place in the second round of the 2022 rookie draft. He was registered in the first team for the first time on the 13th, and suddenly made his debut due to Choi Seung-yong's injury.

Yoon Tae-ho turned his team's crisis into his chance. In four innings, he pitched 55 pitches, one hit, one walk, four strikeouts, and a perfect pitch. He combined 30 fastballs, 21 sliders, and 4 curves to cook KIA's batting lineup. He recorded a maximum fastball speed of 153km and an average speed of 149km. The maximum slider speed was 143km.

He recorded the Bears' third record in 39 years. In the past, only two domestic Bears pitchers have pitched more than four innings in their debut and achieved no runs. Jang Ho-yeon scored nine scoreless innings as a starter in the match against MBC in Jamsil on April 2, 1983, and Park No-joon pitched in relief against Haitai on March 29, 1986 and recorded eight scoreless innings in eight ⅓. Yoon Tae-ho succeeded his seniors for the first time in 39 years since Park No-jun.

Even if you look at the entire league case, it has been five years. Samsung's Huh Yoon-dong started against Sajik Lotte on May 28, 2020, and recorded five scoreless innings. 21st in league history. Yoon Tae-ho achieved his 22nd record.

From the 7th inning, Choi Won-joon (one run in one inning), Kim Jungwoo Kim (one inning), Kim Taek-yeon (two runs in the ⅓) and Lee Kyo-hoon (⅔ innings) continued to throw to keep the victory.

KIA starter Lee Eui-ri pitched six innings of 75 pitches, six hits, no four outs, seven strikeouts, and two runs, but he had to swallow his regret because he did not receive any scoring support. The quality start in 689 days since the match against Changwon NC Dinos (7 scoreless innings) on September 27, 2023.

Jung Soo-bin, who set the stage for a come-from-behind victory by scoring a tie after two outs in the ninth inning the previous day, worked again. In the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Jung Soo-bin hit a triple to the right-center. Subsequently, when Oh Myung-jin grounded out to the second base, Jung Soo-bin scored to lead 1-0.

Doosan scored an extra point in the bottom of the fourth inning. Leading hitter Oh Myung-jin got on base with a hit in left-center. Park Joon-soon's consecutive hits gave him a chance to hit first and second bases with no outs. Kim Ki-yeon's sacrifice bunt made it to second and third bases with one out, and Cave hit a timely hit to the right to run 2-0.

KIA, which had been tied tightly to Choi Seung-yong and Yoon Tae-ho, started a belated counterattack in the top of the seventh inning. Doosan's third pitcher Choi Won-joon took the mound. After one out, Choi Hyung-woo got on base with a heavy hit, and after two outs, Na Sung-bum got a walk and took the opportunity for the first and second bases. Oh Sun-woo hit a timely hit to the left of the center fielder to follow 2-1.

Wisdom's powerful shot exploded in the top of the ninth inning. After one out, Wisdom hit a large equalizer that far crossed the left fence. He properly hit Doosan closer Kim Taek-yeon's slider that came in flat. On Trackman data, the distance was 130.7 m.

KIA continued its momentum and turned the game around. After one out, Na Sung-bum got on base with a walk and was replaced by pinch runner Park Jung-woo. Doosan will replace the pitcher with Lee Kyo-hoon. With one out and one on the first base, Park Jung-woo took second base with a wild pitch, and Oh Seon-woo struck out swinging. With two outs and a runner on the second base, Kim Tae-gun hit a timely double to the left and turned it over 2-3.

Doosan had a bases-loaded opportunity with Kim Ki-yeon's hit, Cave's walk, and Ahn Jae-seok's hit after one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Confused, KIA replaced the pitcher from Jung Hae-young to Cho Sang-woo. Kang Seung-ho's pinch hitter Kim In-tae blew a two-run timely double to win 4-3.
