Doosan Bears, armed with powerful offense that produced 15 hits in all categories, secured a winning series against the Kiwoom Heroes.

On the 3rd, Doosan defeated Kiwoom 13-3 in a '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League' matchup held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul. The team scored six runs in the sixth inning alone to seal the game.

After losing 2-4 the previous day (the 2nd), Doosan avenged the defeat and concluded the three-game series this weekend with two wins and one loss, leaving Gocheok on a high note. Meanwhile, Kiwoom suffered a second consecutive losing series.

Doosan's lineup for the day was Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Cameron (right fielder), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Ahn Jae-seok (third baseman), Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Jung Soobin (center fielder), Kim Ki-yeon (catcher), and Oh Myung-jin (first baseman). Kwak Bin started on the mound.

Kiwoom countered with a starting lineup of Park Ju-hong (center fielder), Choi Ju-hwan (first baseman), Ahn Chi-hong (designated hitter), Im Byung-wook (right fielder), Brooks (left fielder), Yang Hyeon-jong (third baseman), Kwon Hyeok-bin (shortstop), Song Ji-hoo (second baseman), and Kim Jae-hyun (catcher). Park Jun-hyun took the mound as the starting pitcher.

Doosan took the lead first. In the bottom of the third, leadoff batter Kim Ki-yeon drew a walk against Park Jun-hyun to create an opportunity. Following him, Oh Myung-jin hit a deep double to right field, creating a bases-empty, second-and-third situation.

Park Chan-ho then grounded into an infield out, allowing Kim Ki-yeon to score from third base for the first run. Cameron followed with a clear double over the center fielder's head to add another run. But the scoring didn't stop there. Even 'the lady of the house' Yang Eui-ji hit a sacrifice fly to left field, putting Doosan ahead 3-0 in the third inning alone.

Doosan's offense continued in the fourth. Leadoff batter Kim Min-seok singled up the middle, and Jung Soobin added a double, creating a bases-empty, second-and-third situation. A fielding error by third baseman Yang Hyeon-jong on Kim Ki-yeon's grounder added another run. With bases empty and runners on first and third, Oh Myung-jin's grounder to the shortstop extended the lead to 5-0.

However, Kiwoom did not stay silent. After two outs, Brooks singled to left field, and Yang Hyeon-jong hit Kwak Bin's first pitch (a 150 km/h cutter) over the left-field wall for a two-run home run, cutting the deficit to two runs.

With the score at 5-2, a three-run gap, Doosan extended their lead again. In the top of the fifth, Ahn Jae-seok singled, followed by a walk to Kim Min-seok. Jung Soobin then added a sacrifice fly, making it 6-2. In the top of the sixth, Doosan scored six runs in a row, effectively sealing the game. Starting with Yang Eui-ji's sacrifice fly, followed by Kim Ki-yeon's two-RBI sacrifice fly and Oh Myung-jin's three-run home run, the lead ballooned to 12-2.

In the top of the seventh, Doosan's Kim Min-seok added a sacrifice fly to left field for the 13th run. In the bottom of the seventh, Kiwoom's Ahn Chi-hong hit a sacrifice fly to cut the score by one, but the momentum had already shifted. In the top of the ninth, with one out and bases loaded, Jung Soobin added another sacrifice fly.

Doosan starter Kwak Bin, backed by strong offensive support, recorded a quality start (QS) with six innings and two earned runs, earning his second win of the season. In contrast, Kiwoom starter Park Jun-hyun struggled with control and received no defensive help, pitching 3⅔ innings, allowing six hits, walking three, striking out two, and giving up five runs (four earned), taking the loss.

Doosan's offense was led by Oh Myung-jin, who recorded a multi-hit game with a home run and four RBIs. Jung Soobin and Kim Ki-yeon each contributed two RBIs. Notably, the bottom of the lineup from the sixth to ninth batters combined for nine RBIs, making them the primary drivers of the victory.
