The Doosan Bears escaped from a three-game losing streak with Kim Jae-hwan’s three-run homer coming from behind.
Doosan defeated the KIA Tigers 5-2 in the second match of the double header in the 2021 KBO League held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 17th.
With this win, Doosan escaped from the last three consecutive losses and set the season record to 65 wins, 6 draws, and 62 losses. SSG Landers, who also played with a double header, lost the second game of the double header against the Lotte Giants and climbed to fourth place again. On the other hand, KIA has recently lost two consecutive wins, with 52 wins, 10 draws, and 71 losses.
Unlike the first game, which ended in a 3-3 draw, this game was a pitching match between starting pitchers. Doosan’s substitute starter Hyun Do-hoon, contrary to expectations, played without a score against the KIA lineup until the 5th inning. Episodes 1 and 2 were triplets. Although the lead hitter Park Jung-woo allowed a hit in the third inning, Park Jung-woo, who was trying to steal second base, was out at second base, and both batters were treated as a bat. In the beginning of the 4th inning, lead hitter Choi Won-jun got a hit, but Choi Won-jun also failed to steal second base, and after that, Hyun Do-hoon hit the two batters again.
Then, the Doosan batting line took the lead and took the lead. Doosan was perfectly pressed by KIA starter Yoon Joong-hyun until the 3rd inning, but at the end of the 4th inning, lead hitter Jung Soo-bin came on base due to an error by opponent 2nd baseman Kim Seon-bin. However, Kim In-tae’s 4-6-3 kill resulted in an instant 2 out and the attack flow seemed to be cut off. However, Doosan’s concentration was terrifying. Park Geon-woo, Kim Jae-hwan, and Jose Miguel Fernandes’ three consecutive hits came in and took the lead.
The KIA batting line, which was blocked by Hyun Do-hoon until the 5th inning, succeeded in a comeback in the 6th inning. Park Jung-woo chose to walk and got to base, and Kim Min-sik’s hit and Park Chan-ho’s walk gave him a chance to run safely. Doosan lowered Hyun Do-Hoon and raised Lee Hyun-Seung. Choi Won-jun picked a push-out walk from the full base, and KIA succeeded in making the score 1-1. Next, Kim Seon-bin threw a floating ball in left field, and third base runner Kim Min-sik stepped on home with a sacrifice fly. Here, second base runner Park Chan-ho, who was playing at third base, was tagged out by a left fielder’s volleyball, which resulted in a second out. In the end, Choi Hyung-woo also stepped down with a floating ball in right field and had to be satisfied with two points.
Then, the Doosan battalion reacted again. He made a big inning in the attack at the bottom of the sixth inning that followed. Leading hitter Kim In-tae went on base with a four-ball, followed by Park Geon-Woo on a four-ball to make first and second bases safely. Here, Jaehwan Kim hit a home run with a three-run win over KIA starter Yoon Joong-hyun, and in an instant, it turned 4-2. It was Kim Jae-hwan’s 25th home run of the season and 1,000 hits in his career.
Even after the home run, Doosan managed to secure first and second base chances again with Fernandez’s hit and Park Gye-beom’s walk. Doosan, who made 1 company 2nd and 3rd base with Kim Jae-ho’s sacrifice bunt, made a full base with Heo Kyung-min choosing to walk, but 3rd base runner Park Ji-hoon was caught by KIA catcher Kim Min-sik’s check and went out and the flow seemed to be cut off. Park Gye-beom, who was on base, stepped on the groove and fled 5-2.
Hyun-seung Lee, who took the place of Do-hoon Hyun in the 6th and stopped the crisis, became the winning pitcher. In the 7th, Hong Geon-hee blocked, and in the 8th, Kim Myung-shin took charge of the two outs, and Lee Young-ha took over the mound and passed the innings without a score in the crisis of running out of two bases. Lee Young-ha was on the mound in the ninth to keep the team win.
