- Doosan lost 3-2 to the lower-ranked SSG Landers in a comeback defeat on Sept. 5.
- The Bears have struggled to score in September, while Asian Games selections and the remaining schedule threaten their hold on fifth place.
- Doosan now sits only 3.5 games ahead of sixth place, reopening the race for the five postseason spots.
The fight for the five postseason places is far from settled. The Doosan Bears have suddenly dragged the race back into focus after a September scoring slump.
Doosan suffered another defeat on Sept. 5, losing 3-2 to the lower-ranked SSG Landers in an away game at Incheon SSG Landers Field. The result added to a run of poor offensive performances, with the team managing only four runs across five games.
The Bears’ plan to protect fifth place now faces further pressure from players being called up for the Asian Games and from the remaining schedule, which includes five games against NC. Their lead over sixth place has fallen to 3.5 games, raising the possibility of a major upset in the postseason race.
