# 11-hit outburst, Lee smiles at the end of the game

"Thanks to our fans for their unwavering support"

The Doosan Bears snapped a two-game losing streak with an 11-1 victory in the 16th home game of the season between the NC Dinos and the "final team" of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Wednesday.

This was a very important game for both teams. It was a crucial game for both teams, as it could determine which position they will play in the postseason at the end of the regular season. Managers Kang Myung-ho and Lee Seung-yeop hinted before the game that they could use their bullpens early in the game, depending on the situation, and it was Doosan who came out on top.

After starting pitcher Jang Won-jun pitched 2⅔ innings of four-hit ball with one strikeout and one run (one earned), Doosan quickly activated their bullpen after NC's bats came alive. As announced before the game, Doosan brought in Lee Young-ha, who was up to the task, throwing three innings of two-hit ball with three strikeouts and no walks, and then Lee Byung-heon (1⅓ innings), Choi Ji-gang (⅓ innings), Park Chi-guk (⅔ innings), and Hong Gun-hee (1 inning) to shut down the NC bats.

At the plate, Jose Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, one home run, two RBIs and three runs scored, missing a hit for the cycle. He was denied the record due to a questionable ball call by the umpire, but he led the way in breaking the losing streak, while Yang went 1-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs and one run scored, and Jung Soo-bin went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, one stolen base and one walk. In addition, Heo Kyung-min and Yang Seok-hwan each had two hits.

With the win, Doosan closed the gap on third-place SSG Landers to one game. They also closed to within 0.5 games of fourth-place NC, setting up a "point-and-shoot" situation in which the standings will remain unpredictable until the final game of the regular season.

"We gave up an early lead, but Rojas came through quickly to tie the game. Rojas not only hit the home run, but also laid the foundation for the big inning with a surprise bunt in the third inning with no outs. Yang Seok-hwan also came through for the team with a bunt attempt."

"We can't forget the performance of Yang Ji," the commander continued, "who overcame an unfavorable pitch count to hit a decisive three-run [먹튀검증](https://www.totosafeguide.com) home run, showing the majesty of a No. 4 hitter. Captain Heo Kyung-min also contributed to the team's victory with two hits, including a home run." He gave a thumbs up to the explosive batting lineup.

"On the mound, Lee Young-ha pitched the best three innings without giving up a run on four pitches," said coach Lee Seung-yeop. "Thanks to our fans for their unwavering support, we were able to end our losing streak. Thank you," he said emphatically.
