"Oh my, such games have occurred on two consecutive days."

"Kim Won-hyeong (54), manager of the Doosan Bears, shared his thoughts after the team secured a dramatic comeback victory on two consecutive days.

"Ahead of the final game of the weekend three-game series against the Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 31st, Manager Kim said, 'The players delivered unexpected games back-to-back. On the first day (29th), an unbelievable comeback happened in the 9th inning, and yesterday (30th), a similar situation occurred in the 6th inning. The relief pitchers also effectively shut down Samsung's powerful lineup... Games like this, which rarely happen throughout a season, occurred yesterday and the day before.'"

"On the 29th, Doosan trailed Samsung 3-7 in the top of the 9th inning but scored six runs, including a bases-loaded home run by Kang Seung-ho, to win 9-7. On the 30th, they were down 1-6 in the top of the 6th inning but rallied for six runs, highlighted by Jung Soobin's grand slam, to secure an 8-7 victory. Two consecutive comeback-winning bases-loaded home runs mark the second time in KBO history and the first since 2002, when Lotte Giants' Park Jung-tae and Kim Eung-guk achieved the feat, making it a record 24 years in the making.

"Manager Kim Won-hyeong said, 'On the first day, it was great that Cameron and Kim In-tae drew walks before (Kang) Seung-ho hit the bases-loaded home run, and the same happened yesterday. The players focused intently moment by moment, leading to these positive results.' In the 30th game, Doosan also created a scoring opportunity in the top of the 6th when Yang Eui-ji drew a walk to lead off. With no outs and bases loaded, Park Chan-ho drew a bases-loaded walk, followed by Jung Soobin's bases-loaded home run.

"Manager Kim praised the players, saying, 'Their focus in both games was extraordinary. Even after the score was narrowed to a one-run deficit in the bottom of the 9th on the 30th, I trusted that Lee Young-ha had the strength to hold on, so I just watched.'"
