Doosan 7, Hanwha 7 (12)

A 12 inning tie. How I missed these. Hanwha actually held a 5-1 lead in this one, but starting pitcher Yoo Won-sang ran out of gas. By "ran out of gas" I mean he started giving up mammoth homeruns.

To be fair, Hanwha wore out Doosan starter, Kim Myeong-je. Kim Tae-gyun clubbed his first homer of the season off of Kim. I believe Kim chose to start Kim Tae-gyun with a "get-me-over" fastball and Kim got it over the fence for a 2-run bomb.

Either way, during the 6th inning, Hanwha pitching turned a 5-1 lead into a 6-5 deficit. Doosan leftfielder, Kim Hyeon-su started the scoring with a 2-run bomb(his 2nd homer of the game).

The next batter, Matt Watson, clubbed a solo homer into the 15th row of the rightfield seats. As soon as Watson hit the dugout, Yoo was pulled in favor of Ma Jeong-gil. After drilling the first batter he faced in the shoulder, pinch hitter Choi Jun-seok took Ma over the fence in right/center for a 2-run bomb.

Doosan added an insurance run in the 9th on an RBI triple from Lee Dae-su. Hanwha tied the game in the bottom of the 9th after an RBI single from Yoon Jae-kuk and Victor Diaz. Both hits came after Koh Yeong-min played a groundball that would have ended the game into runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs.

Both teams tried to let the other score, but neither could plate anyone during the 3 extra innings. Hanwha even brought in last year's Cy Yuck winner Yang Hoon to blow the game. He tried awfully hard, but, like always, he failed to deliver.
