Attacks that were as hot as the heat. The history of one KBO League game 'scoring' has all changed.

Doosan won the away game against the KIA Tigers 30-6 at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 31st.

This is the first time that 30 points have been scored in the KBO League. On May 4, 1997, Samsung scored 27 points in the Daegu LG-Samsung match, setting a new record for the most points scored in a game. At the time, Samsung won 27 to 5.



In addition, the victory by the largest score difference was newly written. The previous record was against Lotte in Busan on July 24, 2022, with KIA winning by 23 points. However, a 24-point difference came out on the day.

Doosan set a record for all the starting hitters and scoring points with Lee Yoo-chan (left fielder), Huh Kyung-min (third baseman), Jarrod Young (right fielder), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Kim Ki-yeon (catcher), Jeon Min-jae (striker) and Cho Soo-haeng (middle fielder).



There was also a record of foreign players. Jared, a foreign hitter who played his second game in the KBO League, had five hits, two homers and eight RBIs, setting a tie for the most RBIs by any foreign player in the KBO League history. SK Fernandez against KIA in Incheon on September 13, 2022, and NC Thames scored eight RBIs each against Doosan in Masan on May 26, 2015.

In addition, Choi Joo-hwan's record of most RBIs in the Bears team on September 26, 2015 also made it a tie.

There was also a true record. On this day, KIA put outfielder Park Jung-woo on the mound in the top of the ninth inning to save the pitcher. With two outs in the top of the ninth inning, Doosan pitcher Kwon Hwi took the batter's box.

At the start of the ninth inning, Park Jung-woo took the batter's box, and pitcher Kwon Hwi went up. In the KBO League, there were a total of three cases, including the game that day, where both pitching and batting faced off.

A match between the OB Bears (now Doosan) and the Samsung Lions at Daegu Civic Stadium on April 26, 1988. In the top of the 10th inning, OB pitcher Yoon Seok-hwan took the batter's box, and Samsung pitcher Kwon Young-ho took the mound and struck out.

At the bottom of the 10th inning, Yoon Seok-hwan was the pitcher, and Kwon Young-ho was the batter. The result was a ground ball.

Ten years later, the scene of the showdown between pitching and hitting came out again. A match between the Haitai Tigers (currently KIA) and the OB Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on June 11, 1998. At the top of the 10th inning, Haitai pitcher Lim Chang-yong took the batter's box, and OB Jin Pil-joong took the mound as a pitcher. Jin Pil-joong struck out Lim Chang-yong.

Jin Pil-joong took the batter's box in the bottom of the 10th inning, and Lim Chang-yong came out as a pitcher and struck out and succeeded in avenging.

As the game gets longer, the top of the 13th inning of extra time. Again, the match between batter Lim Chang-yong and pitcher Jin Pil-joong unfolded, and it ended with a fly ball.

However, in the previous games, Park Jung-woo and Kwon Hwi were both pitted and hit in the same game between the first fielder and the pitcher.
