Doosan secured a decisive 5-0 victory over KT Wiz at Seoul Jamsil Stadium on the 27th, escaping a season-high five-game losing streak and ending their three-game losing streak against KT.

The driving force behind the victory was speed. Doosan's batters generated four infield hits, including two surprise bunts, and four stolen bases through aggressive base-running plays.

In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Doosan took the lead with a middle-ground hit by Kim Min-seok leading off, followed by a stolen base to second base. After two outs, Yoon Jun-ho delivered a two-run single to the center field, making it 1-0. In the bottom of the 3rd, Jung Soobin led off with an infield hit to the left side of the pitcher's mound and stole second base. Park Ji-hoon then added a middle-ground hit to extend the lead to 2-0. With one out and a runner on first, Cameron hit a towering 130-meter two-run home run to the upper left stands off KT's starting pitcher Oh Won-seok.

In the bottom of the 4th, Doosan capitalized on a surprise bunt hit by Jo Su-haeng leading off and a passed ball by KT catcher Jang Seong-woo to create a scoring opportunity with no outs and a runner on second. Yoon Jun-ho then delivered a two-run single to left-center field, extending the lead to 5-0. Shortly after, Lee Yu-chan also recorded a hit with a surprise bunt toward the third-base side. Jo Su-haeng added another infield hit to the pitcher's mound in the bottom of the 6th, reached base, and successfully stole second base.

Doosan created four 'Hit → Stolen Base → Scoring Position' opportunities on this day, including Park Chan-ho's ground ball single to left field and stolen base to second in the bottom of the 1st. This broke through an offense that had managed only eight runs in the previous five games, which had been completely stagnant.

After the game, Doosan manager Kim Won-hyeong stated, "The fielders utilized their speed from the early stages of the game, executing aggressive base-running plays. As a result, they frequently reached scoring position and controlled the flow of the game. Cameron then hit a decisive two-run home run in the 3rd inning."

He continued, "Benjamin delivered another perfect pitching performance today, following his previous game. Thanks to Benjamin holding the line for seven scoreless innings, the players were able to focus even more. Kim Jeong-woo and Lee Young-ha, who followed, also fulfilled their roles faithfully. Despite the rain, we were able to break the losing streak thanks to the fans who continued to cheer until the end. Thank you."
