Doosan is playing the second game of the weekday series against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 3rd. Yang Seok-hwan's come-from-behind bases-loaded hit in the fifth inning, and Doosan succeeded in turning it over 7-6.
It is a game in which the ace of both teams Alcantara and Park Se-woong took the mound, but an unexpected firepower war is unfolding. Alcantara collapsed early with six runs in two innings, and Park Se-woong also failed to fill the fifth inning.
The first team that gained momentum was Lotte. Jeon Jun-woo's solo shot in the top of the first inning, Roh Jin-hyuk's two-run timely hit in the top of the second inning, and Jeon Jun-woo's three-run timely hit followed to lead the game 6-0.
But every little thing changes the flow. Kang Seung-ho's timely hit following Yang Seok-hwan's direct double to the mid-wall fence in the bottom of the second inning made one point back. After Ramos' hit after two outs in the bottom of the third inning, Yang Eui-ji's two-run shot followed 3-6. Park Se-woong's low curve was accurately kicked over the left fence.
Yang Eui-ji's home run was his 10th of the season, completing a double-digit home run for 11 consecutive seasons since 2014. It is the 14th in the history of the KBO League and the 4th in the history of catchers. The top record in this category is held by SSG Landers Choi Jeong (19 consecutive seasons, ongoing).

But the embers didn't go out as they were. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Huh Kyung-min's consecutive hit and Yang Eui-ji's walk loaded the bases with no outs, and Park Se-woong was replaced.
Kim Jae-hwan struck out Lotte's second pitcher Kim Sang-soo, but Yang Seok-hwan fired a bases-loaded shot from behind to turn it over 7-6. He hit a 147km fastball and fired 115m over the left fence.
It is the 19th of this season.
This year, it was the 21st professional baseball, 1,067th career grand slam, and Yang Seok-hwan's 7th grand slam.
Doosan allowed a walk in the top of the sixth inning with two outs and the bases loaded, entering the bottom of the sixth inning with a 7-7 tie.
