KIA lost 3-21 to the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 2nd. The top five and the gap was 3.5 games, and it failed to narrow down. It is rather comforting that Lotte also lost and maintained its ride. However, since there are less than 20 games left, there is a slim possibility of a reversal.
Kia collapsed in an instant on the day. He held the lead to 1-0 until the top of the fifth inning. Shortly after a rather sloppy defense came out in the bottom of the fifth inning, it collapsed.
KIA starter Kim Do-hyun received consecutive hits in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead. He is on the verge of first and second bases with no outs. Hanwha Ha Joo-seok tried to send a bunt.
The bunt was short. KIA catcher Kim Tae-gun quickly caught and threw it to third base. It was possible to play out timing and even double play to first base.
However, KIA third baseman Yoon Do-hyun was awkward. He came out to defend bunt and had to return to the third base, but he stepped back.
Yoon Do-hyun received Kim Tae-gun's throw without stepping on the base. If he had caught the ball with one foot on the base, the runner on the second base would have been able to aim for a force out at third base and a double out of the batter. Yoon Do-hyun received the ball in front of the base and tried to tag. It was safe.

Kim Do-hyun also failed to regain his composure. Kim Do-hyun induced Moon Hyun-bin to fly to center field, but he could not stop the third baseman from scoring a tag-up. a 1-1 tie.
Kim Do-hyun was hit by a three-run home run by Noh Si-hwan, the next batter. Later, Lee Jin-young and Kim Tae-yeon received consecutive hits. With one out and runners on the first and second bases, Lee Do-yoon even hit a big double that directly hit the Monster Wall.
KIA bench eventually moved. He changed the pitcher to Kim Ki-hoon. KIA collapsed by allowing seven runs in the fifth inning alone and six runs in the sixth inning, the next inning. KIA accepted the terrible loss by allowing seven more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning.
