  • The Doosan Bears secured a comeback victory against the Samsung Lions, winning 8-7.
  • This win followed a similar comeback victory the previous day, with both games featuring crucial grand slams.
  • Doosan remains in sixth place in the KBO league standings with 25 wins, while Samsung's losing streak continues.

The Doosan Bears achieved a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the Samsung Lions, clinching an 8-7 win thanks to Jeong Soo-bin's grand slam in the sixth inning. This remarkable turnaround mirrors their performance the previous day, when Kang Seung-ho hit a game-changing grand slam in the ninth inning to secure a 9-7 win.

Doosan's consecutive victories have boosted their season record to 25 wins, one draw, and 27 losses, maintaining their sixth-place position in the KBO league. In contrast, the Samsung Lions have fallen into a two-game losing streak after a four-game winning streak, bringing their record to 30 wins, one draw, and 20 losses.

The game started with Doosan taking an early lead in the second inning when Daesoo Cameron scored due to a fielding error by Samsung's third baseman Jeon Byeong-woo. However, Samsung mounted a significant comeback in the fourth inning, scoring four runs. This included a solo home run by Lewin Diaz, tying the game, followed by a walk to Lee Jae-hyun and a hit by Ryu Ji-hyeok, which further advanced their scoring.
