An exquisite and just-in-time hit from pinch hitter Oh Jae-won led the team to victory.

was the 'eldest brother' Oh Jae-won's hitting sense that decided the match.
Oh Jae-won, who entered the plate as a pinch hitter in the 8th inning 5-5 tie, failed to match the timing with NC left-handed pitcher Lim Jeong-ho's slider and was driven to a two-strike.
However, he did not miss the curve falling on the fourth pitch and managed to hit it with exquisite bat control, which led to a heavy hit that exceeded the height of second baseman.
Oh Jae-won, who drew the final blow, cheered as he stretched out his hands toward the dugout.
Doosan, who defeated NC 6-5, kept second place behind third place LG by half a game.
After a bloody battle for nearly four hours, Lotte and SSG recorded their first draw this season.
Lotte scored the first goal by taking advantage of their opponent's consecutive errors in the second inning, but conceded an error hit in the third inning, and neither team has been able to call a single player home after that.
SSG starter Kim Gwang-hyeon, who struck out the season's most with 10 strikeouts and ran 6 innings and no ERA, took the top spot in the league ERA, but withdrew without a win or loss and postponed the season's four-win challenge to the next opportunity.
KT defeated KIA 3 to 1 with So Ji-jun's 7 innings and 1 run and Jang Seong-woo's double RBI in the final, while Kiwoom beat Hanwha with the other line's performance with Puig, Kim Hye-seong, and Song Seong-moon hitting 3 hits each.
LG beat Samsung 7-0.
