The Doosan Bears came from behind to win 13-8 in the home showdown of Game 7 of the season between the Lotte Giants and the team in the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 3rd.업소알바
Before the game, Doosan was in a bad mood. After losing both games against the Samsung Lions, which began on April 21, Doosan recorded a "losing series" against both the Hanwha Eagles and SSG Landers. In addition, Brandon Waddell, who can be considered a "one-win card," was eliminated from the first division due to shoulder pain in the showdown with Samsung, effectively ending the mood. Therefore, it was necessary to completely reverse the mood before the end of the first half.
Early in the game, the tide was abysmal. "Ace" Raúl Alcantara hit a solo homer off Jeon from the start of the first inning, and allowed Jeon to hit a timely hit in two innings in the second inning, before going down the mound. As a result, the team's victory was clearly tilted toward Lotte. However, Doosan did not give up. At a chance provided by Yang Seok-hwan's double in the bottom of the second inning, Kang Seung-ho hit a timely hit, and Doosan pulled the reins.
Despite Kang Seung-ho's hit, the gap was wide, but Doosan narrowed the gap to 3-6 in the bottom of the third inning when Yang Eui-ji connected a double-digit home run for 11 consecutive seasons against Lotte Kim Sang-soo. And in the bottom of the 5th inning, Doosan, which well prevented the loss crisis in the top of the 3rd and 4th innings, Yang Seok-hwan hit a come-from-behind grand slam to Park Se-woong with the bases loaded with one out, which was made up of consecutive hits by Huh Kyung-min and Henry Ramos, and Yang Eui-ji's walk. Yang Seok-hwan's 7th grand slam was his 21st this season, his 1067th in the KBO League.
However, they couldn't be sure of winning the game by a narrow margin of one point. Doosan put in four pitchers in the top of the sixth inning, but Choi Ji-gang gave up a walk with the bases loaded with two outs and the game was at square one again. However, with the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Doosan hit a timely hit to regain the lead and ran away one more point on a wild pitch, widening the gap to 9-7. Lotte scored a point off its offense in the top of the eighth inning to chase again below the chin, but Yang Eui-ji scored a grand slam to seal the victory in the bottom of the eighth inning to win a thrilling come-from-behind victory 13-8.
The victory on this day may be just one win, but it led to a victory that will remain in KBO league history. Following Yang Seok-hwan, Yang Eui-ji hit two grand slams because it was the first time since the KBO League was launched that two grand slams at Jamsil Stadium were hit. Yang Seok-hwan made four hits (one home run) with five RBIs and two runs, and Yang Eui-ji made two hits (two home runs) with six RBIs, four runs and two walks, producing three home runs and 11 RBIs, and making history by making the first record.
Yang Seok-hwan, who was the beginning of the first record in KBO history, said, "It was almost a tough game because the score was widened in the beginning, but we were able to win because all of the players did well," adding, "The first record feels good anytime. It's more meaningful because the record came out on a really important day for the team. I feel good to be able to leave a name with (Yang) Ji-hyung."
"It's true that I had a hard time because I had a bad start to the season. I acknowledged my shortcomings and helped a lot from people around me, so I think the results are getting better little by little. Among them, coach Lee Young-soo helped me a lot. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of the first half," he said, adding, "As I got good results at the end of the first half, I will do my best to continue this trend and show better performance in the second half."
The same was true of Yang Eui-ji. Regarding his double-digit home run for 11 consecutive seasons, Yang Eui-ji said, "As I come back to Jamsil, the baseball stadium grows, so even if there are no home runs, I am trying to maintain Everidge. Whether it always fits or not, I am modifying the timing and posture with the hitting coach. I have done this and that while changing my form since last week, but I think it has been established today."
Yang Eui-ji then said, "I think (Park) Se-woong hit the ball well today. I was surprised, too. It was a strange hit, but it went over well," regarding the grand slam, "That was luck. I think the fans said, 'Move over!'" He added, "I feel good and honored to be named in the first KBO League record with Yang Seok-hwan. As he left a good record at the end of the first half, I will do my best to continue my good performance in the second half."
Yang Seok-hwan and Yang Eui-ji broke Lotte's rise, which had two historic grand homers and five consecutive wins, and succeeded in saving Doosan, which was in crisis at the end of the first half.
