Kia launched a counterattack in the bottom of the third inning. Park Min and Yoon Do-hyun's consecutive hits gave them a chance to hit first and second bases with no outs, and Park Chan-ho's sacrifice bunt made them second and third bases with one out. During Kim Seok-bin's at-bat, third baseman Park Min scored and narrowed it to 1-3, and with one out and third base, Kim Sun-bin hit an RBI single with a shortstop's right infield hit to make it 2-3.

In the top of the fourth inning, leadoff hitter Hong Sung-ho made another aller cry. He hit Oler's first pitch, a 147km/h two-seam fastball, and connected it with a superior solo shot. He kicked up the ball well that came in the low course. It was Hong Sung-ho's first consecutive home run since he joined Doosan in 2016. Again, it's two points apart from Doosan.

KIA saved the spark of the counterattack in the bottom of the seventh inning. Leading hitter Han Jun-su stole a superior solo shot from Doosan's sidearm Park Chi-guk and closely followed it 3-4. It was Han Jun-su's second career homer as a pinch hitter.




pinch hitter Choi Hyung-woo saved the spark of victory, which was extinguished after two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Doosan closer Kim Taek-yeon, who was trying to save four outs, tried to catch the last out, but Choi Hyung-woo hit to the right. Choi Hyung-woo will replace Park Jae-hyun, a pinch runner. Kim Taek-yeon shook greatly, allowing a straight walk to the next batter, Yoon Do-hyun. The number of pitches is already 23.

Doosan pushed Kim Taek-yeon more, but he was Park Chan-ho, who has the best feeling in KIA recently at bat. Park Chan-ho sent the ball to an ambiguous place in front of the center fielder, and center fielder Jung Soo-bin attempted a diving catch, but the ball escaped from his glove and became a timely hit, making it 4-4. In the end, Doosan replaced the mound with Lee Young-ha, and Kim Sun-bin hit a walk-off hit in front of center field to seal the 5-4 victory.

Meanwhile, Doosan's Zachlog recorded four hits, two outs, five strikeouts, and two runs in five innings, crying over the bullpen fire as he was about to achieve his 10th win of the season. The losing pitcher is Kim Taek-yeon.

Hong Sung-ho, who joined Doosan in 2016, set the third real record in the club's history, but his team's defeat faded. He hit back-to-back home runs on the day he hit his first home run since his debut. The first ever Bears was Park No-jun against Jamsil Binggrae Eagles on April 28, 1988, and the second was Kim Dong-ju against Haitai Tigers on April 11, 1998.
