The NC Dinos
NC, which was being dragged, launched a counterattack when starting pitcher Alcantara went down on the Doosan mound in the bottom of the 7th inning and rookie Kim Taek-yeon took the mound.
NC took the opportunity to load the bases with no outs thanks to a double by leadoff hitter Son Ah-seop,
then made up for one point with Kim Seong-wook’s infield ground ball.
With bases loaded and two outs, Kim Joo-won drew a walk and tied the score at 2-2.
Doosan took the lead again to 3-2 with Yang Eui-ji’s double in the top of the 8th inning,
but NC tied the score at 3-3 with Kwon Hee-dong’s solo home run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Matthew Davidson
NC, which had the opportunity to load the bases with two outs with three walks and three walks in the bottom of the ninth,
snatched a dramatic victory when Davidson hit a walk-off hit to left.
NC closer Lee Yong-chan, who took the mound in relief with 2 outs and runners on first base in the top of the 9th inning,
ended the inning by throwing out a runner on a check ball before even pitching.
Then, thanks to Davidson’s walk-off hit in the bottom of the 9th inning,
Lee Yong-chan became the winning pitcher without throwing a single ball.
There have been 24 cases of becoming a winning pitcher by throwing one ball in the KBO League in the past,
but Lee Yong-chan is the first to become a winning pitcher with a pitch count of ‘0’.
Doosan starter Alcantara went 6 innings, allowing 2 hits and no runs, but the bullpen gave up the victory.
