After blowing a 3-0 lead by surrendering two home runs in the seventh inning to allow a tie, Doosan clinched a thrilling victory thanks to a clutch blast from Park Jun-soon.

Stepping up to the plate with one out and runners on first and third, Park launched a massive 130-meter home run well over the left-field wall.

Park celebrated joyfully with his teammates following his game-winning three-run shot.

With the 6-3 victory, Doosan extended its winning streak to four games and maintained fourth place, trailing by half a game.

Doosan starting pitcher Kwak 빈 pitched brilliantly, tossing six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts, but failed to secure his 10th win of the season after the bullpen allowed the tying runs.

KT pulled off a magical come-from-behind victory by erupting for six runs in the ninth inning.

Ahn Hyun-min scored to ignite the comeback capitalizing on an opponent error, followed by pinch hitter Ryu Hyun-in's game-tying RBI single and Choi Won-jun's go-ahead RBI single. Ahn then stepped up to the plate for his second time in the ninth inning and drove in a two-run insurance single, effectively sealing the victory.

With all catching options exhausted, outfielder Ahn Hyun-min even took the field wearing a catcher's mask in the bottom of the ninth, as league leader KT secured a 7-3 victory to extend its winning streak to seven games.

KIA defeated Samsung 3-1, backed by starting pitcher Oller's strong performance of one run allowed over six innings, while SSG beat Lotte 8-4 thanks to Kim Jae-hwan's stellar two-hit, four-RBI performance, which included a home run.

LG snapped a three-game losing skid by defeating Kiwoom 8-3.

As some 60,000 fans packed stadiums for the resumption of professional baseball after the heat wave break, the KBO League reached 9 million total spectators in just 505 games, setting a record for the fewest games to reach the milestone in league history.
