Doosan overturns the 9th inning with Yang Eui-ji’s tie and Kim Jae-hwan’s come-from-behind two-run shot

With Pajuk’s 5 consecutive wins, the leader KIA is trailing by 4 li without a ride.

Professional baseball’s Doosan Bears achieved a dramatic comeback,

winning five straight games and becoming the first team to reach the 30-win milestone.

Doosan defeated the KIA Tigers 7-5 in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League visiting game held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 24th. 안전놀이터 메이저사이트

Doosan, in second place, with 30 wins, 2 draws, and 21 losses (0.588 win rate) this season,

is ahead of first place KIA (29 wins, 1 draw, 20 losses, win rate 0.592) by 4 leagues without a win,

and is on the verge of taking the lead.

As expected from the battle for 1st and 2nd place,

it was a spectacular match with repeated comebacks.

Doosan starting pitcher Kwak Bin pitched a fight with a heavy fastball exceeding 150 km/h and a curve with a large drop,

allowing 3 hits and no runs while striking out 8 in 7 innings.

A twisted drama was born after Kwak Bin passed the baton to Kim Taek-yeon in the 8th inning, leading 3-0.

KIA, who had been blocked by Kwak Bin, made up for one point thanks to Choi Hyeong-woo’s timely hit on first and second base with two outs and runners on.

Soon after, Lee Woo-seong pulled Kim Taek-yeon’s high fastball of 149 km/h and drew a reverse stone dot arch that went over the left-center fence.

Even Socrates Brito, who had recently been embroiled in speculation of expulsion due to poor batting,

scooped up a low fastball from Doosan’s third pitcher Choi Ji-kang and hit a superior solo shot,

bringing KIA closer to victory with a score of 5-3.

However, the tenacious Doosan turned the tide again by knocking out KIA closer Jeong Hae-young in the top of the 9th inning.

With one out and one on first base, Yang Eui-ji effortlessly lifted Jeong Hae-young’s slider and fired a two-run shot to left-center to tie the score at 5-5.

Yang Seok-hwan’s single led to a single with 1 out and runners on first base,

and Kim Jae-hwan pushed KIA Jang Hyun-sik’s ball to the outside for a two-run arc to left-center that decided the game.

Kim Jae-hwan became the number one contributor to the victory by hitting two cannon shots on this day alone,

following a superior solo shot in the third inning.
