The Doosan Bears, who have been struggling with poor batting at the beginning of the season, self-destructed this time with wild pitches and fastballs. The ball fell behind the catcher five times.

Doosan lost 2-5 at home to the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 7th. Four wild pitches and one fastball that came out at a critical moment were fatal.

In the top of the second inning when Doosan was trailing 0-1, catcher Yang Eui-ji left Choi Seung-yong's pitch behind (fast ball). In the meantime, Kiwoom's second baseman Lee Hyung-jong immediately ran home to win the second point.

Doosan gave up the lead again in the top of the sixth inning when it was tied 2-2, committing as many as three wild pitches in one inning. Yang Jae-hoon, who saved starter Choi Seung-yong, threw a wild pitch during Kim Gun-hee's at-bat after receiving a left-handed hit by the leader Lee Ju-hyung, and was driven to second base with no outs. Following Choi Joo-hwan's walk, he threw a wild pitch again during pinch-hitter Park Joo-hong's at-bat, making him second and third base with one out.

He also contributed the winning run through wild pitches. After two outs, Lee Hyung-jong also threw a wild pitch and struck out, and third baseman Lee Joo-hyung homered, leading Kiwoom again 3-2. Yang Jae-hoon committed three wild pitches, but struck out four in one inning to set his 12th record ever.

Kiwoom got an additional point in the top of the seventh inning with three consecutive hits by Eo Jun-seo, Brooks, and An Chi-hong, and Lee Joo-hyung's groundout to second base. When Kim Gun-hee hit the batter's box with one out and runners on the first and third bases, Doosan pitcher Lee Byung-hun also threw a wild pitch, and first baseman Lee Joo-hyung stepped on the second base. Choi Joo-hwan's sacrifice fly to center field then widened the score to 5-2.

The concentration of the Kiwoom batters, who did not miss the opponent's mistake, also stood out. Choi Joo-hwan had one hit and two RBIs, Eo Jun-seo had two hits and one run, and Brooks had one hit and two runs.

Kiwoom starter Bae Dong-hyun won his second victory of the season following the SSG match on the 1st with five hits, four strikeouts and two runs (two earned) in five ⅓ innings. He stepped down from the crisis with one out and runners on the second and third bases in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 3-2 lead, but Yuto, who came out as a relief, struck out Park Chan-ho and caught Yang Seok-hwan with a fly to the second base, so he did not lose a point. Kim Jae-woong, who took the mound in the ninth inning, allowed one scoreless inning to earn his second save of the season.

The first point was up to Kiwoom. After Brooks and An Chi-hong drew consecutive walks in the top of the first inning, Choi Joo-hwan hit a timely hit after two outs.

In the top of the second inning, Lee Hyung-jong's foot scored an additional point. Lee Hyung-jong, who came out as the first batter and got on base with a heavy hit, ran to second base when Park Han-yeol made a deep fly to right field and was safe. During Eo Jun-seo's at-bat, when Doosan catcher Yang Eui-ji's fastball came out, he rushed home from second base and scored.

Doosan tied the game with two sacrifice flies. Following the lead-off Kim Min-seok's triple to the middle of the third inning, Lee Yoo-chan's sacrifice fly to right field chased one run. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Ahn Jae-seok and Yang Eui-ji's consecutive hits and Park Chan-ho's walk gave him a chance to load the bases with one out, but he had to be satisfied with Yang Seok-hwan's sacrifice fly to center field to tie the game 2-2.

Doosan starter Choi Seung-yong allowed three hits, five strikeouts, and two runs (one earned) in five innings.
