A bench-clearing brawl broke out during the Doosan vs. NC game at Jamsil.
The fourth matchup of the season between the Doosan Bears and NC Dinos took place on 23rd at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium.
In the 6th inning, trailing 0-1, NC had two outs and no runners on base when Park Gun-woo stepped to the plate. On a 1B-2S count, Doosan starter Colervin's 7th pitch, a 149 km/h fastball, headed towards Park Gun-woo's head, and after avoiding it, Park Gun-woo immediately walked toward Colervin, expressing strong dissatisfaction. As catcher Kim Ki-yeon quickly intervened, players from both teams rushed onto the field, leading to the bench-clearing brawl.
Earlier, in the 4th inning, Park Gun-woo took a strong hit to his left side from Colervin's 149 km/h fastball and expressed significant pain. At that time, he walked to first base without any collision, but when a threatening pitch flew toward his head on his next at-bat, he could not contain his anger and expressed it.
Doosan players calmed their agitated former teammate Park Gun-woo. Yang Seok-hwan, who is a close friend of Park Gun-woo, was the first to calm him down, and former mentor Coach Koto Koji also patted him to soothe his agitated feelings. At the same time, Colervin said something in a strong tone toward Park Gun-woo, but NC captain Park Min-woo and foreign pitcher Logan Allen stood in his way.
Players from both teams returned to their respective dugouts without a major clash. The contest between Park Gun-woo and Colervin continued, and Colervin handled Park Gun-woo with a ground ball to the shortstop after a 10-pitch confrontation, ending the inning.
As of the top of the 7th inning, Doosan leads 1-0.
