KIA won a miraculous 4-3 come-from-behind victory in the final game of the weekend's three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 28th thanks to Kim Sun-bin and Byun Woo-hyuk's incredible consecutive home runs with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
With the victory, KIA escaped from the crisis of sweep loss in three consecutive Kiwoom games, and the number of consecutive losses did not increase to 4.

Kiwoom, which was in the mood, had a chance to score again with Choi Joo-hwan's double after one out in the fourth inning, and KIA shortstop Park Chan-ho's fatal error from Kim Jae-hyun's at-bat also scored an additional point.
KIA's batters had to try to turn around in the second half against Kiwoom, which had a weak bullpen by increasing the number of pitches by Heyesus, but Heyesus' ball control and control were so good that they didn't even have a significant chance until the seventh inning. The atmosphere seemed to change as Socrates, the leadoff batter, got on base with a surprise bunt hit in the seventh inning when Heyesus' power would run out, but Kim Sun-bin's double play broke out and cold water was poured on him.

Kiwoom's player Song Sung-moon hit a double in the bottom of the eighth inning, but he couldn't score an additional point, so he entered the top of the last ninth inning with anxiety. This was the root of the fire. Kim Sung-min took the mound in the ninth inning. It was another temporary finish by Joo Seung-woo, who played three consecutive games until the previous day. Kim Sung-min seemed to win his second career save by handling left-handed hitters Choi Hyung-woo and Socrates in a row.

Kim Sung-min allowed a tiebreaking solo shot by Kim Sun-bin, who had been sluggish throughout the day. And maybe he couldn't overcome the shock, he also went into the first game for Byun Woo-hyuk and gave up the final shot in the left-center field. KIA away fans, who did not leave their seats until the end, let out a shout. It was a dramatic scene that was bound to happen.
For KIA, temporary closer Jeon Sang-hyun was on a break day. However, he took the mound in the eighth inning with two outs and pushed Lim Ki-young, who showed good pitching, to the ninth inning. Lim Ki-young saves the victory by one point. sealed a dramatic victory.
KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong won a complete game against the NC Dinos on Tuesday the 23rd and pitched well with three runs in six innings despite a break on the 4th, but failed to meet the winning requirements as he was not supported by the batters. However, the team's come-from-behind victory allowed them to take comfort.
