The Doosan won the winning series with 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three games of this season against LG held from the 12th to the 14th of last month, and then secured two wins in the second match.
Doosan took the lead with a home run by Kang Seung-ho, who boasts the team’s hottest batting sense this season.
Doosan’s third batter, Kang Seung-ho, who was at bat with one out and second base, targeted LG starter Son Joo-young’s slider and went over the left fence.
This is Kang Seung-ho’s 9th home run of the season, and based on Trackman, the exit speed was 167.1 km/h and the distance was 123.9 m.
Doosan’s Jeong Soo-bin, who previously got on base with a walk, succeeded in stealing second base, becoming the 44th player in KBO League History to reach double-digit steals for six consecutive seasons, and even scored on Kang Seung-ho’s home run.
Doosan widened the score to 3-0 in the 4th inning with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base, thanks to a timely hit by Yu-chan Lee, who hit the 3rd base.
LG took advantage of Doosan’s loose defense to score two runs in the fifth inning.
Leadoff hitter Oh Ji-hwan hit a fly ball that went slightly over the infield, and Doosan second baseman Kang Seung-ho gestured that he would catch it, but gave up the ball as if he heard the outfielder’s signal.
However, no one caught the ball, and Oh Ji-hwan went all the way to third base.
LG followed up with 1 point with Shin Min-jae’s timely hit with 1 out, and then chased 1 point again with Kim Hyun-soo’s sacrifice fly with 1 out and the bases loaded.
Doosan left-handed pitcher Lee Byung-hun, who took the mound in relief of starter Choi Jun-ho with bases loaded and one out in the fifth inning, gave up one run with a sacrifice fly, but overcame the crisis by hitting the follow-up batter Austin Dean.
