Doosan Bears' 'lucky' foreign hitter Daz Cameron (29) showcased a fantastic super catch. After the game, he first thought of his teammates.

On the 9th, Doosan defeated SSG Landers 9-4 in a regular-season home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

With this victory, Doosan avenged their 1-4 loss on the 8th, recording 16 wins, 1 tie, and 19 losses. They currently hold sole 6th place in the league standings. Meanwhile, SSG finished with 19 wins, 1 tie, and 15 losses, moving into 4th place. The winner of the winning series will be decided in a head-to-head matchup at the same venue at 2 p.m. on the 10th. Doosan's starting pitcher on the 10th will be Jacklog, while SSG's starter will be Choi Min-jun.

Cameron delivered a fantastic defensive play in the 9th game. In the top of the 5th inning, with Doosan leading 6-2, Doosan's starting pitcher Kwak Bin faced a crisis with two outs and runners on second and third. Only one out remained to satisfy the requirements for a winning pitcher.

Then Oh Tae-gon stepped up to the plate. The ball he hit soared powerfully toward the right-field fence. If the ball had dropped, both the runner on third and the runner on second would have scored.

At that moment, Doosan's right fielder Cameron began chasing the ball. After sprinting at full speed, Cameron threw his body diagonally backward. The ball barely caught on the edge of his glove and was pulled in. Even after Cameron fell to the ground, the ball did not come out of his glove. Three outs. The inning ended. Cameron's fantastic catch. Kwak Bin, witnessing this, covered his head, raised his arms in triumph, and expressed his joy.

On this day, Cameron entered the plate five times, delivering a one-man show with three hits in four at-bats, including a triple, two runs batted in, two runs scored, one stolen base (with zero failed attempts), and two walks. Cameron, who is currently batting .299 (137 at-bats, 41 hits) with six home runs, 20 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) of 0.913 this season, has hit .371 in his last 10 games.

After the game, Doosan manager Kim Won-hyung, the team's commander, praised Cameron, saying, "Cameron, who batted fourth, not only delivered two hits and did his job perfectly at the plate, but also made a crucial defensive play in the 5th inning that lightened the pitcher's burden."

Cameron said, "All teammates played good baseball in the game. We overcame important situations well and executed the team's plan effectively, resulting in a good outcome," showing an attitude that prioritizes his teammates.

He further explained the defensive play in the 5th inning: "A powerful hit went over my head, and I instinctively thought I had to chase it quickly, so I threw my body. I felt relieved when I saw the ball land in my glove at the end. When I entered the dugout with starting pitcher Kwak Bin, we both smiled with relief."

Cameron added, "For a defensive play like this to happen, practice before the game is especially important. I practiced every day with the coaches on catching balls that go over the head and chasing balls. As a result, I was able to make a great defensive play like today."

Finally, he said, "I have fully adapted to both the team and the KBO. Doosan players are the most interesting friends I've ever seen. In the future, I will join forces with the players to deliver victories to everyone who has supported us," making an important promise to Doosan fans. Cameron, who had been involved in rumors of slacking off earlier in the season for playing a relaxed defense, has now become an indispensable lucky charm for Doosan.
