It seemed that the NC Dinos were continuing their 6-game winning streak with a dramatic comeback two-run home run by Choi Je-hwan after two outs in the 9th inning. However, Doosan Bears' Cave hit a tying two-run homer, resulting in a dramatic draw.

NC and Doosan recorded a 6-6 draw in the second game of the doubleheader in the regular season of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium on the 10th. NC has 15 wins, 18 losses, and 1 tie, while Doosan has 16 wins, 20 losses, and 2 ties.

On that day, both teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader. However, the first game of the doubleheader, which was set to start at 2 p.m., was canceled due to continuous rain, and only the second game was held. This game will proceed again as a doubleheader on the 11th.

NC's starting lineup consisted of Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Kim Joo-won (shortstop), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Davidson (first baseman), Son Ah-seop (right fielder), Park Geon-woo (designated hitter), Kim Hyung-jun (catcher), Kim Hwi-jip (third baseman), and Choi Je-hwan (center fielder). The starting pitcher was Shin Min-hyeok.

Doosan's starting lineup featured Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Cave (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Oh Myung-jin (third baseman), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Kim In-tae (left fielder), and Park Jun-young (shortstop). The starting pitcher was Choi Seung-yong.

Doosan took the lead. In the bottom of the 1st inning, after one out, Cave's single to right and Yang Eui-ji's infield single to shortstop created a 1st and 2nd base opportunity, and Kim Jae-hwan batted a timely hit to right, scoring the first run.

In the bottom of the 4th inning, they created an opportunity with a hit from Oh Myung-jin after one out, and Kang Seung-ho hit a two-run homer to left field on the 5th pitch of Shin Min-hyeok's 2 balls and 2 strikes, taking a 3-0 lead.

NC rallied from the 5th inning. The lead-off batter Park Geon-woo walked to reach base. Although Kim Hyung-jun was retired on a fly out to left field, Kim Hwi-jip hit a two-run home run on a 132 km slider from Choi Seung-yong on a 1 ball and 1 strike count, marking his 4th home run of the season.

Doosan's starter Choi Seung-yong exited after throwing 94 pitches, giving up 3 hits (1 home run), walking 1, and allowing 2 earned runs. At the time he left the mound, he was eligible for the win.

However, Lee Young-ha spoiled Choi Seung-yong's chance for a win. Choi Seung-yong had a no decision. In the top of the 6th, after one out, Park Min-woo reached base on a walk, and a wild pitch advanced him to second base. With one out and a runner on second, Davidson's timely double to right tied the game at 3-3.

NC's starter Shin Min-hyeok pitched 6 innings, threw 98 pitches, gave up 8 hits (1 home run), struck out 1, and allowed 3 earned runs before handing the ball over to the bullpen.

In the bottom of the 7th, Doosan had a chance with a walk by Kim In-tae and a hit by pitch on Park Jun-young, resulting in a no out 1st and 2nd base opportunity. Jung Soo-bin's ground ball to second base resulted in an out at first base. Cave struck out swinging, and then after Jung Soo-bin stole second and Yang Eui-ji walked intentionally, Doosan had a two out bases loaded opportunity, but Kim Jae-hwan popped out to the pitcher, missing a chance to take the lead.

NC sent Son Ju-hwan, Kim Jin-ho, and Bae Jae-hwan to the mound in the 7th inning and ended the inning without giving up a run. Eventually, NC regained the lead by one run. In the top of the 8th, lead-off batter Kim Joo-won’s infield hit and Park Min-woo’s single to right created an opportunity with no outs and runners on 1st and 3rd. Although Davidson hit into a double play to second, the runner on third crossed home plate for a 4-3 lead.

Doosan quickly equalized the gap by scoring another run. In the bottom of the 8th, after one out, Oh Myung-jin's single to right and a stolen base by substitute Jeon Da-min followed by a throwing error from the opposing team created a chance with one out and runners on 1st and 3rd. Ultimately, Jo Soo-haeng succeeded in a squeeze bunt to tie the game at 4-4 and continued with a one out, one and two base opportunity.

Doosan sent pinch hitter Kim Gi-yeon, who hit a ground ball to third base, but the double play was in the works. NC's third baseman Kim Hwi-jip made a throwing error to second base, allowing Doosan to score another run, leading 5-4.

However, in the continued situation of one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, Jung Soo-bin attempted another squeeze bunt, but the runner on third was caught in a run down. The pinch runner at first base, Park Ji-hoon, was also thrown out, failing to add any extra runs.

Doosan brought in closer Kim Tae-kyun in the top of the 9th. NC took advantage of a pinch hitter Han Seok-hyun's double after one out. Kim Hwi-jip struck out, but with two outs and a runner on second, Choi Je-hwan came to bat and belted a two-run homer to left on the first pitch from Kim Tae-kyun, scoring 149 km. Kim Tae-kyun was thoroughly beaten, continuing the momentum from a spectacular performance on the 7th against Suwon KT, where he had 3 hits (1 home run) and 5 RBIs.

However, Doosan did not give up easily. Lead-off batter Cave hit a solo home run to tie the game, lifting a 135 km forkball from NC closer Ryu Jin-wook over the center field wall. After back-to-back walks to Yang Eui-ji and Kim Jae-hwan created an opportunity with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, they failed to take the lead. The game concluded with two outs and runners on 1st and 2nd as Kang Seung-ho hit a ground ball to third base.
